Tapescripts
Interviewer: Today we are very pleased to chat with Mr
Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut.
Welcome to the show, Mr Yang.
Mr Yang: Thank you.
Interviewer: Mr Yang, our audience is very curious about
how you succeeded in becoming China's
first astronaut. It must have been a very
difficult thing to achieve. Did you always
want to be an astronaut
Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I
never thought my wish would come true. It
took a long time. First, I got my college
degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a
fighter pilot for around 10 years. I finally
became China's first astronaut when I was 38
years old.
Interviewer: Oh, so you must be a really experienced pilot.
Do you think that was one of the reasons why
you were chosen for the space programme
Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience,
which I think really helped me.
Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space
programme
Mr Yang: There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14
of us were chosen from among 1,500 pilots to
train for space flights.
Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also
have to be a certain size and weight
Mr Yang: Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172
centimetres in height and weigh less than 70
kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health
and perfect shape.
Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know,
an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in
order to work in space. But you also had to
study a lot, too, right
Mr Yang: Yes, I had to learn English, science, and
astronomy. I also had to practise using space
equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical
training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud
to have the opportunity.
