Snapshots of 2024

Clicking history

Chen Kun Jiuquan, Gansu

It was an incredible honor to be invited to witness the launch of the Shenzhou XIX crewed spacecraft at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu province on Oct 30.

As the countdown ticked away, each passing second seemed to echo through me. When the rocket finally soared into the sky, I was overwhelmed with emotion — an awe that is difficult to put into words. With the roar of the spacecraft and the rapid clicks of my camera filling my ears, my fingers moved instinctively, striving to capture every detail, every motion, and every historic moment. I felt a deep sense of pride in documenting such a monumental event.
