Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
An item from July 16, 1997, in China Daily showed Beijing students from the Middle School Attached to Tsinghua University talking to astronauts aboard the US space shuttle Columbia via shortwave radio.
It was the first time Chinese students had spoken to astronauts in space.
