Triumphant return of Shenzhou 9 reflects the rise of a great nation
經過13天太空飛行後，神舟九號載人飛船返回艙上月底安全返回地面，標誌著天宮一號與神舟九號載人交會對接任務取得圓滿成功。中國用20多年的時間就取得了美俄耗費近世紀才能獲取的成果，僅通過10次飛行試驗，就成功掌握載人航天的三大基本技術：載人天地往返、航天員空間出艙、兩個飛行器在空間的交會對接。神九凱旋，折射出中國和平發展的韜略和氣概，中國以大國崛起的戰略眼光謀劃發展，依靠自己的力量，改革創新，展示中華民族正以堅韌毅力和智慧實現復興偉業。
中國具備以不同對接方式向在軌飛行器進行人員輸送和物資補給的能力，為中國將來在太空完成駐留時間更長的任務，包括建立太空站、進行登月探索等航天活動打下基礎。當前全球經濟遭遇嚴峻挑戰，世界其他國家在航天領域的探索進度明顯放慢，唯有中國依然在資源、人才方面給予大力的支持，為人類的太空探索事業做出應有貢獻，並不斷提升國家的綜合競爭力。中國接連在航天領域取得重大突破，反映出綜合國力的提升。
After 13 days of flying in space, the re-entry module of the manned Shenzhou 9 spacecraft returned and landed safely on Earth at the end of last month. This marked the successful completion of the mission to manually dock the Shenzhou 9 space vehicle with Tiangong 1 space station. Spending only 20 or more years, China already attained the result that the USA and Russia had spent nearly a century to achieve. With only ten trial spaceflights, China has successfully commanded the three basic techniques of manned spaceflight: carrying human to and from space, astronauts performing extra-vehicular activities, and docking of two spacecrafts in space. The triumphant return of Shenzhou 9 reflects the strategic thinking and spiritual power that China possesses in planning its peaceful rising. China has engineered its development with the strategic vision of a rising great nation and relied solely on its own strength in carrying out reforms and innovations. This demonstrates that the Chinese people are realizing the great revival of their country with persevering stamina and wisdom.
China is now equipped with the ability to transport personnel and supplies to orbital spacecrafts by different modes of docking. This paves the way for China to station its personnel in space for a longer duration to complete missions including such spaceflight activities as the establishment of a space station and the exploration of moon landing. The global economy is currently facing severe challenges and other countries in the world are obviously slowing down their efforts in the field of space exploration. China is at present the only country which is still providing great support to this enterprise with considerable resources and manpower. With this, China makes its contributions to space exploration by mankind and at the same time continues to increase its comprehensive competitiveness. The series of breakthroughs achieved by China in the field of space exploration shows that the comprehensive strength of China is on the rise.
