We are committed to you for the world's manned space flight and education. Thank you for your contribution and respect. Today, we successfully completed the space teaching activities and shared the magic and beauty of space with hundreds of millions of Chinese students. We have gained knowledge and happiness. I hope that you and the teachers and students around the world can see it. During the flight, I often look through the portholes to our beautiful homeland, where space is cherished with a longing for humankind, knowledge is a ladder to space, and we are willing to work with you to open a dream for young people in the world who love science and explore the universe. Work hard."
