The Chinese tourist encountered some difficulties on the evening of May 23, with staff from the Cape Town Wilderness Search and Rescue team, Cape Town Tourism, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company, and South African National Parks working together to successfully bring the tourist to safety, and now has returned safely to China.

Ren Faqiang, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Cape Town, presented certificates of appreciation to the rescuers, praising their professionalism and selfless dedication. He said the successful operation reflected the spirit of mutual assistance between the people of China and South Africa, as it further embodies South Africa’s philosophy of Ubuntu.

"My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me," said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. His parents, David and Isabel Crook, played an important role in training a large number of foreign-language professionals for China. "The spirit of Bethune has not faded with time; instead, it has been widely inherited and carried forward in both China and Canada," said Hu Jinqiang, director of the North China Military Martyrs Cemetery. Hu noted that today Bethune is not just a name but a symbol of internationalism, humanism and selfless dedication. "We commemorate him to inspire more people to remember history and carry forward his spirit."

The commemoration began at 10 a.m., with participants bowing before the surgeon’s tomb and presenting flower baskets.

A model of the spacecraft will be displayed at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, which opens on Tuesday in Zhuhai and runs through Sunday.

Currently, China has only one model of cargo spaceship, Tianzhou, which is a product of the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing. So far, seven Tianzhou vessels have been launched and six of them were used to transport supplies to the Tiangong space station.

Orbiting Earth at a distance of about 400 kilometres, the Chinese space station has three permanent parts — a core module and two science capsules — and is regularly connected to several visiting crew and cargo spaceships.

It has been manned by eight Chinese crews, including the incumbent Shenzhou XIX team. All of the crews’ living and work necessities need to be transported by cargo vessels.

Today is ‘Red Flag’ day as we express our legal freedom as British Citizens to fly the Red Flags of Freedom – a Right which the besieged people of Ukraine no longer possess due to the Hitlerite legislation passed by a ‘Rada’ currently dominated by the Neo-Nazi’ Maidan government! We stand firm to the tradition of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao! We stand tall and do NOT tremble! We teach our children to be inwardly UNAFRAID regardless of what is happening in the outer world! Do NOT give in do NOT bow down in submission!
