在中国地图上,靠近雄鸡背部,有一片叫做阿木古郎的草原。这个本来名不见经传的地方,因成功回收8艘神舟飞船而举世闻名。6月29日上午10时03分,“神舟九号”飞船载着景海鹏、刘旺、刘洋3名航天员,在这片草原平稳着陆。在我看来,这一刻极富象征意义:正是当代中国的坚实脊背,挺举起载人航天新的里程碑。此前数日,我平生第一次来到这片草原所在的四子王旗,和所有参试人员一起,迎接“神九”回家。 On the map of China, near the back of the rooster, there is a prairie called Amuram. Originally unknown, this place is world famous for the successful recovery of eight Shenzhou spacecraft. At 10:03 on June 29, “Shenzhou-9” spacecraft carried 3 astronauts from Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang and Liu Yang, landing smoothly in this steppe. In my opinion, this moment is extremely symbolic: it is the solid backbone of contemporary China and it is a new milestone in manned space flight. A few days earlier, for the first time in my life, I came to the Siziwang Banner where this piece of grassland was located. Together with all the participants, I went home.
