Screening: Wen Tian 1 & Wen Tian II (CAFF 2011)
The 2011 Chinese American Film Festival presents a screening of Wen Tian 1 & Wen Tian II.
Zhang Tiancong, as the first-generation astronaut, had perfect professionalism and kept training everyday but failed the try-out of astronauts for Shen Zhou VII spaceship. Instead of giving up his dream, he remained on the team as a trainer for new recruits in spite of great pressure from his age and his teammates’ departure. When spaceship Wen Tian I went on the air and sustained power losses due to a blow to the solar panels by space debris, Zhang Tiancong went into space in Wen Tian II, fixed the damaged solar panels and restored Wen Tian I.
