A young man has gone viral after spending a month building a model of China's space station out of building blocks. It took him a month to learn the knowledge of the space station, design the model, assemble it, shoot and edit the video, and finally complete the work when the Mengtian laboratory module was successfully launched.

By chance, the young man heard an aerospace expert say that "the assembly and construction of a large aircraft is like building blocks," so he got the idea of using blocks to build a model of China's space station.

The model not only includes several important parts of China's space station: the Wentian laboratory module, the Mengtian laboratory module, the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft and the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, but can even be opened to see the details inside each part.

"It is not easy for China's space industry to come to the forefront of the world step by step on its own. I hope China's space industry could illuminate the mankind's exploration of the universe," said the young man.
