Zhu Yangzhu is the spaceflight (航天) engineer for the Shenzhou XVI mission. He has loved the blue sky and flying since he was a boy.
When he was a middle school student, Zhu often did physical exercises about flying. Because of his high grades, Zhu could entered the College of Aerospace Science and Engineering under the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha in the summer of 2005 and remained there for the following years. At the end of 2015, Zhu graduated from the university with a doctorate (博士学位) and took his first engineering post.
In the summer of 2018, Zhu heard about the selection (选拔) of China’s third-generation (代) astronauts. He decided to throw his hat in the ring. In September 2020, Zhu was finally chosen as one of the country’s third batch of 18 astronauts, including six other flight engineers.
However, for an engineer who had no air flight experience, the astronaut training tasks presented a real challenge. For example, astronauts had to stay up for three days and three nights in a closed room, during which they had to do many tests on a computer. That required large amounts of perseverance (毅力). He not only completed the hard training himself, but also played a role in relaxing the team and helping others in his team stay clear-headed by singing, organizing games and telling jokes.
Last year, all his persistence and hard work paid off when he was appointed to carry out the Shenzhou-16 mission.
