China's first taikonaut is safely home.

He flashed the "V" signal, with the palm out. What would that signify
to a Chinese audience? Presumably not V-for-Victory, since Churchill
flashed with the knuckles out. "Peace", like in the 1970s (more often
called the 1960s)?


He was probably assured that if he survived the trip he would get
permission to father 2 children, rather than one like the peasants.
Maybe his gesture was the Red Chinese equivalent to the US tradition
of yelling "I'm going to Disneyland" after some momentous victory.

"I get to eat two meals today!"
