Chinese Father Documents Life With Son Every Year of His Life for 3 Decades

2002

When Li turned 16, there were new advancements in space technology. In 2002, scientists reported findings of a new type of black hole with a middleweight class of gravitational sink. In this same year, China launched both Shenzhou 3 and Shenzhou 4 in a series of unmanned launches. While China was advancing technologically with their amazing space program, citizens were still prone to natural disasters. The Dongting Lake flooded and forced the evacuation of 6,000 people in Yeuyang. An Air China Boeing 767 also crashed into a hillside because of heavy rain and fog, and sadly 128 people were killed.
