On the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Nie Haisheng won the "August 1 Medal". From Shenzhou 6 in 2005, to Shenzhou 10 in 2013, to Shenzhou 12 in 2021, every eight years, Nie Haisheng can get a "space entry voucher" to perform the flying task. He is now 58 years old. He is the first astronaut in my country to be on his own.

Reporter: Many people say that when astronauts are talented, are you a particularly talented one?

Nie Haisheng: I don't think so, but you want to say that I should be considered hard.

Reporter: You are over half a year old. Will you feel tired if you go to heaven at this age?

Nie Haisheng: It must be tired than when you are young. When you reach space, you will not be reduced to you because you are a standard for old comrades, so you have to exercise unremittingly to meet this standard. , Fly to the old.

An extraordinary accident

After graduating from the aviation school, Nie Haisheng was assigned to a combat unit of the Air Force as a fighter pilot. In June 1989, Nie Haisheng began a new type of fighter aircraft. After the aircraft took off 11 minutes, the engine suddenly stopped due to mechanical failure, and the plane that lost thrust fell as a broken kite falling.

Reporter: When you were in the air, what did you think in your mind?

Nie Haisheng: The first one I think is to drive (start the engine) and drive it. The second one is that I want to fly this plane back, but these two things can't be done in the end, and they are forced to skyrocket at a very low level.

Reporter: How low is at a very low height?

Nie Haisheng: There may be four hundred meters, with a decline rate, and the plane is declining at a great speed.

In the process of dealing with the danger, Nie Haisheng never gave up the plane. He worked again and again to try to save a mechanical failure aircraft. It was not until the height of more than 400 meters. He was forced to jump with the commander again and again. The test of life and death happened when Nie Haisheng had just become a pilot for a month.

Reporter: For a novice, it is actually very risky to try such an attempt.

Nie Haisheng: It is an adventure, but we have a guarantee at this plane. In the end, we must parachute. We must have this confidence.

Reporter: Fortunately, the last person is okay.

Nie Haisheng: People are okay, falling into a small mountain bag, the rice fields in the middle of the two ravines.

Reporter: Do you feel scared later, and you are almost taking your life.

Nie Haisheng: In fact, after you engage in this career, you can't say that because it is dangerous and risky, we will not fight for this matter, and the country needs us to have such a risk.

After this extraordinary accident, Nie Haisheng returned to the blue sky after 29 days of recovery. Because he was calm and calm, he was not afraid of danger, and he was honored. During the Air Force's troops, Nie Haisheng flew through the Fifth, Ji, and J -7th models. The safe flight time was 1480 hours and was named the Air Force first -class pilot.

Reporter: Why did you think of going to a pilot?

Nie Haisheng: When I went to the physical examination of the flying trainee, I was really happy when I heard that I could have the opportunity to participate in the army. I can have the opportunity to be a pilot and fly to the blue sky. I will definitely be happy in the physical examination. Others.

Reporter: What are the plans at the time?

Nie Haisheng: In junior high school, I also thought about being a teacher. In fact, if I was not a pilot at the earliest, I could be a soldier again and the army as a navy.

Reporter: Still preparing to be a soldier, why is this?

Nie Haisheng: soldiers can protect their nations.

Reporter: Do you have this dream of being a soldier like many boys?

Nie Haisheng: Yes, my cousin was a soldier when he was very young. After he returned home on vacation, he was very mighty in military uniforms. The people were respectful. Watching those movies were brave.

Reporter: Have you ever liked watching those war movies from an early age?

Nie Haisheng: I watched "Southern Expedition and North War", "Landmine War" and "Authentic War".

Reporter: Is there a fighting hero you particularly like?

Nie Haisheng: Wang Cheng's "Hero Children".

Become astronauts

On January 5, 1998, the Beijing Aerospace City, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Aerospace Brigade held a ceremony. Nie Haisheng became one of the first 14 astronauts in my country. This year, he was 34 years old, and what he was facing was high -intensity training for hundreds of subjects including basic theory, aerospace environment endurance and adaptability, professional technology, life -saving and survival.

Reporter: Have you ever encountered this when you feel like you can't carry it?

Nie Haisheng: When the most bitter and most difficult centrifugal machine is made 8 G, the previous method is not very good. I can do it, but it is not the best. We have two buttons in our hands, one is the answer button, and the left hand is left hand. It is a police bell, that is, you stop at once you press, and you can't stand it as soon as you press it.

Reporter: I have never pressed.

Nie Haisheng: If you haven't pressed it, you ca n’t press it. If you press it, you will not be able to qualify if you ca n’t go on. You ca n’t withstand the overload on the ground. If you need you more persistence, it may be more difficult. Reporter: Did your wife have seen you training?

Nie Haisheng: Occasionally I have seen it, but she usually doesn't dare to see it, and she sees very little.

Reporter: I don't dare to see it.

Nie Haisheng: Some training is indeed cruel, some training looks simple, and it is also uncomfortable in actual. If you switch chairs, you can't see it, you just sit on it. very big.

After 5 years of hard training, in 2003, Nie Haisheng was selected as the first flying echelon of Shenzhou V. On October 15, 2003, in front of Tiange, Nie Haisheng and Zhai Zhigang as a backup, watched his comrades in his comrades -in -arms Yang Liwei the first time for space.

Reporter: Is there a loss in my heart at that time?

Nie Haisheng: Our astronauts are all chosen from the pilots. Everyone's ability is very strong. Since I have not been selected for the first flight, I certainly have a bad place. The next time I come again, although this time I pass by with me, but from the big, this is the cause of our country. Finally, among our generations in our people, someone has achieved it. matter.

After returning to the China Aerospace Council Center, Nie Haisheng immediately devoted himself to training. In the short -term evaluation, he examined the rare score in the entire assessment and was selected as the Shenzhou 6 multiplication group with excellent results.

Three Tour Space

On October 12, 2005, Nie Haisheng and Fei Junlong stepped on the snow, and the first battle was in space.

Reporter: Did the Shenliuli take off? What happened to the family?

Nie Haisheng: Just take care of the family and hard work, it is equivalent to a difference, and it will return a few days.

Reporter: I haven't worried about anything?

Nie Haisheng: Nothing, and said nothing to write anything, nothing.

Reporter: Special confidence, you didn't worry about it at the time?

Nie Haisheng: I have no worries about returning to my back safely, because I have trained for eight years before, especially in 2003 as a backup of God's Five. Two people flew, and this was my dream of realizing my dream. I was too happy to get a country for the country.

On June 11, 2013, Nie Haisheng, 49, ushered in the second chance to go to space. This time, he served as commander and led two new comrades to perform Shenzhou 10 flight mission.

Reporter: What was the feeling at that time, very different from the five days before?

Nie Haisheng: Different, it feels much better than that five days, and the space of five days is very small. The active space in Tiangong No. 1 has a large space. Individuals have to take turns on duty for 24 hours. This is not necessary, so the working environment, living environment, and living conditions include improvement of diet, so people are still more comfortable, that is, the workload is greater.

Another eight years later. On June 17, 2021, Nie Haisheng was the commander of the Flight Passenger Team for the second time. He was preparing to explore the sky and perform the first manned flight mission during the Chinese space station stage, that is, Shenzhou 12 flight mission. This year, he was 57 years old. At 18:48 on June 17, 2021, Nie Haisheng opened the door to the sky and the core cabin, and the Chinese space station ushered in the first batch of space visitors.

During Shenzhou 12 flight mission, astronauts stayed in space for 3 months and conducted two outlet activities. For the first time out of the cabin, Nie Haisheng conducted a command operation in the core cabin, observed and cooperated with the two companions outside the cabin. Prior to this out -of -the cabin event, he also called the ground research personnel to ask about the details of the size adjustment of the space service of the cabin.

Reporter: Actually, that time was the two comrades of your comrades, you do n’t wear it yourself, why do you want to ask this question?

Nie Haisheng: The mission of the cabin is not a matter of the two of them. It is a matter of the three of us. The size affects us. It is troublesome. It is easy to get off. Can't do it, it has been tuned on the ground, and the height of the people after the heaven has changed after the adjustment. When you become higher, you will lose weight after you are in the sky. If you lose weight, you are not standing in your clothes. You are floating in your clothes. The second is that the human joints are loose, and the joints are loose. size.

Reporter: For your out of the cabin, the adjustment of the size of the space service becomes very critical.

Nie Haisheng: In the sky, once you go out and have no way back, there is a way back on the ground.

On September 17, 2021, the 90 -day space business trip ended, and the three astronauts returned safely. At the welcome ceremony that night, Nie Haisheng's wife held a flower and hugged the Triumph's husband.

Reporter: She also touched your arm after she finished the flowers. At that time, there was a small conversation between you. We all wanted to know what you said to her at the time?

Nie Haisheng: I mainly touched her, gave her a hug, and said that she was also working hard. We often called in the sky and sometimes called. She was worried that sleeping at night was not very good.I waited for the news, and after I was on a business trip, there were many things at home, including other activities from the family, and she might be alone.Reporter: Do you think you miss her more, or she miss you more.

Nie Haisheng: She thinks I think more, I may want to work more, but sometimes I think of her.
