A notice from China s education ministry has caused a stir after it suggested young Chinese men had become too feminine . The message has been criticised as sexist by many online users - but some say China s male celebrities are partly to blame.
For a while China s government has signalled concern that the country s most popular male role models are no longer strong, athletic figures like army heroes . Even President Xi Jinping, a well-known football enthusiast, has long been seeking to cultivate better sports stars.
The images of the Chinese national flag on the Moon’s surface made headlines in China and abroad following the landing of the Chang’e 5 spacecraft. But that wasn’t the only thing that caught people’s attention.
Zhou Chengyu, a 24-year-old from southwestern China’s Guizhou province, is China’s youngest ever space commander. She has played a key role in the Chang’e 5 space mission which was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on Hainan island.
BBC reported that Zhou was in charge of the rocket connector system, a “pivotal role.” The Chang’e 5 spacecraft aims to gather lunar rocks and soil for analysis. The mission marked China’s third successful Moon-landing in seven years.
