On the occasion of New Year's Day in 2026, the Shenzhou-21 astronaut crew Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang, who are on a “business trip” in space, recorded a video on the space station to wish the people of the whole country a smooth journey to the Galaxy and a happy new year. Commander Zhang Lu became China's first astronaut to welcome the New Year in space twice. He was deeply convinced: “The strength of the motherland is our strength and backing for our space expeditions.” Every time he flies over the motherland and overlooks thousands of miles of rivers, mountains, and thousands of family lights, he can't help but think of two lyrics: “I sing every mountain, I sing every river.”
