Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.

On June 11, 2013, the Shenzhou X spacecraft, launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu province, sent two men and a woman into space.

The item from China Daily featured a photo showing astronauts Wang Yaping, Nie Haisheng and Zhang Xiaoguang (from left to right), meeting the press at the center the day before the launch. They spent 15 days in space.
