Hundreds gathered on Sunday afternoon in front of an outdoor screen in Heilongjiang province’s Qiqihar city, the hometown of two Chinese taikonauts Zhai Zhigang and Liu Boming, watching a live broadcast as the Shenzhou-7 capsule landing safely at Siziwang Banner in central Inner Mongolia.
“It was wonderful,” said Li Lunchang, a 61-year-old snack vendor who have lived in the city for six years, “I was so excited when one taikonaut floated out of the Shenzhou-7 craft into the space yesterday, waving the national flag at the camera during the spacewalk.”
“I feel very proud of the three taikonauts on board the craft, especially because two of the taikonauts came from the Qiqihar city. The whole nation is proud of them,” he said.
