More than 200 children became "star chasers" because of him!

“Craters and lunar seas can be seen clearly”

Recently, Wang Yaobin from Henan

Build a wooden telescope

More than 200 students in the village saw the surface of the moon

He said that he could help the children in the mountains

It is meaningful to have the opportunity to look up at the stars

Pursuing the dream of the countryside and focusing on woodworking

"Learn a skill and live freely"

Wang Yaobin introduces his works

Full of pride

This astronomical telescope

Length: 80cm, diameter: 20cm

Weighing 30 to 40 kilograms

The whole is made of solid wood

And use traditional Chinese woodworking techniques

——mortise and tenon structure

(Note: The mortise and tenon structure is on two components

A connection method that uses concave and convex parts to engage with each other)

Wang Yaobin, 36, from Luoyang, Henan

"My grandfather is a carpenter, and I like wood too"

In 2016, he quit his job as an engineer

Go to Jilin to learn from a master

Later, he returned to his hometown, Luanchuan County, and focused on woodworking.

Rather than returning to hometown to start a business

It's better to say that he returned to rural life

"Learn a skill and live freely"

This is the life attitude he has adhered to for many years.

From wooden furniture to large and small ornaments

Wang Yaobin's handmade products

Combining traditional skills with modern creativity

Well-known in the local area

It took two months to build the astronomical telescope

He was deeply shocked when he saw the surface of the moon

A summer night in 2020

Wang Yaobin occasionally looked up at the starry sky

Reminded me of my childhood

Memories of lying on the roof and watching the stars

So I decided to build my own astronomical telescope.

He read a lot of information

Study on the principles of astronomical telescopes

Purchase the necessary optical components

Adjust the lens barrel, debug repeatedly...

“The lens is the most difficult part of the whole process.

I bought a lot of frosted glass.

Polish and try little by little."

It took two months to build the telescope.

It also achieved a relatively ideal viewing effect

Wang Yaobin clearly remembers

The feeling of accomplishment when seeing the lunar surface for the first time

“It was particularly shocking at the time.

You can see the craters and lunar seas on the moon's surface

I feel like I am very close to the moon."

Let the children in the mountains also look up at the stars

“Embrace the Bigger World”

“The children in the village are just like me when I was a child.

I have never used a telescope to see the vast starry sky."

Wang Yaobin obtained the school's approval

The first time to build the astronomical telescope

Moved to the village primary school

That night, the night sky was bright

This is the starry sky that is unique to the mountains.

More than 200 children came with surprise and excitement

Under the guidance of Wang Yaobin

Through the "big cannon" telescope

Saw the beautiful starry sky

“I asked the kids what they saw.

They said it was a big moon.

I asked what was on it.

They said there were lots of round holes

The moon looks like this.

At that moment, the children cheered

The sound echoed throughout the playground..."

In the days that followed, Wang Yaobin took the children

Use this telescope

Venus and Mercury were also observed

He said he would continue to improve the "big cannon"

I hope that in the future my children will be able to see

Beautiful Saturn rings

“This is not only the fulfillment of my childhood dream

It also fulfilled the "starry sky dream" of the children in the village

Let the children in the mountains see the universe

Embrace the bigger world

This is very meaningful.”

Netizen: To the children in the mountains

Best gift ever!

When children have seen the farthest scenery

A seed of hope was planted

Netizens gave thumbs up to Wang Yaobin

“It’s great to lead the kids to chase stars like this!”

“Looking forward to the seeds of science sprouting”
