The Chinese astronauts delivered a message from space.
The first woman on China's space station beamed a message to Earth to celebrate International Women's Day.
I'm Wang Yaping and I'm Chinese. Wang said in the video message that he was currently carrying out a six-month mission in the China space station. I wish all my female friends a very happy International Women's Day!
I would like to thank every woman for their dedication, and wish that they could pursue a career that interests them.
