Follow your dream and shoot for the stars - that was the message the two Shenzhou VI astronauts had for young people on the last full day of their four-day visit to the city.
'Set your own goal, and you will have a clear direction about how to live your life and pursue your dream. My next goal after my first space mission is to fly to space again,' Colonel Fei Junlong said at a meeting with 300 young professionals at the Space Museum yesterday.
He and his partner Colonel Nie Haisheng repeated this message when they met primary and secondary school pupils and athletes in the afternoon.
'Go for your dreams and remember you will be stronger after overcoming every problem you face,' Colonel Fei told another forum at the Tseung Kwan O Sports Centre. Among the athletes they met were Olympic silver medallist Ko Lai-chak and Paralympic gold medallist Lai Wai-ling, both table tennis players.
Colonel Nie said his goal was to acquire advanced skills and master new technologies to handle more challenging tasks ahead.
Apart from sharing their secrets for building a successful career, they also gave tips to the athletes about physical training.
