Deng, 56, trained for 25 years before he finally got an opportunity to fly to space, becoming a shining example of the dedication and perseverance of Chinese astronauts. He said his experiences over the years reinforced his belief in the power of dreams and persistence. "No matter how old I am, I feel so happy to have been summoned to serve my motherland," he added.

56岁的邓清明接受了25年的训练，终于有机会飞向太空，成为中国航天人奉献精神和坚韧不拔精神的光辉榜样。他说，这些年的经历让他更加坚信梦想和坚持的力量。他说：“无论年龄多大，能够被祖国需要就是最幸福的。”

Zhang, one of the nation's second batch of astronauts, recalled that he often tried to spot China, his hometown in Hunan province, as well as the Dongting Lake, when the Tiangong space station flew over Earth.

作为中国第二批航天员之一的张陆回忆说，当天宫空间站飞越地球时，他经常试图寻找祖国，寻找家乡，寻找那汪洞庭湖。

"Although these places were often hidden by thick clouds, they were always in my heart and mind. We will go back to training as soon as our bodies permit, and will always be ready to return to space to contribute to this great new era and fulfill the duties given by the Party and the people," he said.

张陆说：“虽然厚厚的云层总是遮挡我的视线，但是我知道，祖国一直在我心中，家乡也一直在我心中。我们会尽快调整状态，投入训练，随时准备再次出征太空，为这个伟大的新时代和履行党和人民赋予的职责。”

After the interview, the astronauts were moved into special vehicles for health checks. They were flown back to Beijing on Sunday afternoon. The three were taken to the Astronaut Center of China in northwestern Beijing to start several months of medical quarantine, health observation and recuperation.

采访结束后，航天员被转移到专用车辆进行健康检查。他们于6月4日下午乘飞机返回北京。三人被送往位于北京西北部的中国航天员中心，开始数月的医学隔离、健康观察和休养。

As the fourth group to go to the Chinese space station, Fei and his teammates were launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China on Nov 29.They docked at Tiangong the next day and met their Shenzhou XIV peers.

Their meeting marked the first time six Chinese astronauts were in outer space at the same time and also the first in-orbit handover between Chinese crews.

这次航天员的会面标志着六名中国航天员首次同时进入外太空，也是中国航天员之间的首次在轨交接。

The astronauts successfully obtained three-dimensional structural images of their skin cells with China's self-developed two-photon microscope. This achievement, the first of its kind, marked the success of the in-orbit verification experiments of the two-photon microscope, providing a promising tool for future health monitoring of astronauts in orbit.

神舟十五号航天员乘组利用我国自主研制的双光子显微镜，成功获得了皮肤细胞三维图像。这份世界首次的成就标志着双光子显微镜在轨验证实验的成功，为未来开展航天员在轨健康监测研究提供了有效工具。

China also successfully performed the first in-orbit ignition test in the Mengtian space lab module's combustion cabinet during the Shenzhou XV mission.

我国还在神舟十五号任务中成功完成了梦天实验舱首次在轨点火试验。
