On October 21, Xueersi Online School under TAL and the China Space Foundation held a strategic cooperation release conference in Beijing. At the conference, Xueersi Online School was awarded the title of "Strategic Partner of China's Space Industry" by the China Space Foundation.

China Space Foundation awarded Xueersi Online School the honorary plaque of "Strategic Partner of China's Space Industry"

Over the past twelve years, Xueersi Online School has been committed to helping children find better ways of learning and helping them to improve continuously… It also hopes to stimulate children's curiosity, to make them more courageous and confident in exploring the unknown.

Since the establishment of China's first missile research institution on October 8, 1956, our space industry has gone through more than 60 years of development—from Dongfanghong to Beidou; from Shenzhou 5 to Tiangong 1 and the Yutu 2 lunar rover…

Every footprint has given the Chinese people more courage and confidence to explore the future and the infinite universe beyond the Earth.

So, we are very fortunate. Starting today, Xueersi Online School has become a fellow traveler in this great cause of exploring space and pursuing dreams.

To become a "Strategic Partner of China's Space Industry" is not only an honor but also has two original intentions.

01

To bring every child closer to the space dream

This is the first original intention.

When it comes to exploring space, almost every child has such a dream, more or less: to one day wear a spacesuit and fly into space, to see what Earth looks like from space, or to gaze into the far and infinite universe—We have heard similar dreams from many children.

Therefore, doing something for children to bring them closer to the boundless universe, closer to their own small dreams, has become part of our work.

The people in China who have the most say about the "space dream" are the astronauts of China.

Over the past 60 years, China has achieved great success in areas such as carrier rockets, artificial satellites, manned spacecraft, lunar and interplanetary exploration.

This is the perseverance and spirit of innovation demonstrated by generation after generation of space personnel, which has not only inspired numerous people's yearning for the universe but also their persistence in innovative exploration.

Each milestone of the space industry has brought a strong sense of pride to the Chinese people, and it has also injected the space dream into generations of young people, expanding the vision of Chinese children from the immediate world to the vast universe.

Therefore, taking the opportunity to become a "Strategic Partner of China's Space Industry", Xueersi Online School hopes to build a bridge between children and their space dreams.

02

To synchronize every child's growth with the country's development

This is the second original intention.

The space industry is not just about looking up at the stars; it also embodies the down-to-earth spirit of the space personnel.

Every step taken by astronauts also bears witness to every solid step forward taken by our country.

Education is not just about teaching, it is also about nurturing. As an educational enterprise, we also hope that children can get closer to and feel the country's progress.

By becoming a "Strategic Partner of China's Space Industry", Xueersi Online School has the opportunity to inherit the spirit of China's space endeavor and to pass on the ideal of looking up at the stars and the courage to explore the universe to more young people.

We have witnessed the years of hard work and brave innovation by China's space personnel. Today, we also hope that our children can follow in the footsteps of these great predecessors and, in the future, bring their small dreams together with the great ideals of the country.

Just as Xueersi Online School has always adhered to "making progress every day"—we want to pass on the tiny accumulations of our daily efforts to more children.

In one year, two years, three years, five years, or even ten years, when each child brings together the accumulation of each day into the grand dream of space exploration and the country, it will far exceed the efforts we are making now.

These are the things that Xueersi Online School hopes to do for every child as a "Strategic Partner of China's Space Industry".

To give every child's "space dream" an extra boost

Not only that.

Xueersi Online School has also released the "Public Welfare Space Lesson for Young People by Yang Liwei," produced with the support and guidance of the China Manned Space Agency. The course is personally taught by the space hero Yang Liwei.

From original intention to mission, the course fully presents the real astronaut selection, training, space life, and scientific research experience represented by Yang Liwei, and shares the "three-step" strategy and grand blueprint of China's manned space industry in the future.

There are also special topics prepared by authoritative experts such as Xie Jun, Chief Designer of the Beidou-3 Satellite, Zhang Bainan, Chief Designer of the Spacecraft System for the China Manned Space Program, Jia Yang, Deputy Chief Designer of the "Tianwen-1" Mars Probe, astrophysicist Li Miao, and planetary scientist Zheng Yongchun for young people across the country.

We hope that every child can take a step closer to their "space dream".
