The three Chinese astronauts aboard the China Space Station celebrated their first traditional holiday in space on May 31.

The crew, made up of Chinese astronauts Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui and Wang Jie, sent heartwarming wishes from China Space Station on the festival, which is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese lunar calendar. Over the past month, the three astronauts have worked hand in hand, successfully completing their first spacewalk with close coordination of the ground-based staff. The Shenzhou-20 manned spacecraft was successfully launched into orbit on April 24, 2025.
