The Liaoning is just the beginning of China's aircraft carrier development, and everyone who works in the field deserves respect. It's a pity Luo Yang died when the aircraft carrier achieved success. It's good to see more young people are entering this career now.

As a military fan, I couldn't bear the sadness after hearing Luo Yang had passed away. Uncle Luo, you have created an immortal monument for all of us Chinese, and I respect you. All Chinese owe you. I believe you can rest in peace from now on.

Feng Shaoyi, 10-year-old student and child actor

Judging from the footage on TV of Luo Yang, I noticed he looked exhausted when he appeared on the aircraft carrier. He was overtired as he was both a scientist and a company chairman. Such pressure is unbearable for even a robot, let alone a human being.

The country should attach more importance to the health and life of scientists to avoid preventable diseases. It was previously reported that a missile scientist was knocked over by a car and died when he was on his way to buy vegetables near his home. What a pity.
