Deng Qingming is a taikonaut with a great dream. In 1998, he joined China’s space team as a young pioneer. From the very first day, he made a promise to himself — to fly into space one day.
To prepare for that day, he started a long and hard journey of training with his teammates. They trained, for example, to live in a small space, eat special space food, work under strong lights and go without showers. They knew that they must always be ready, both in mind and body, for flying and working in space.
