I am posting this to see whether anyone might have some old Chinese
publications laying around gathering dust in their files.

I have got copies of various western articles which are based upon
material which was published in 1979-1980 and which relates to China's
manned space programme.   The following two items are specifically
referred to in a January 14, 1980 article which I have:-

1)   LIBERATION DAILY - story about China flying a dog into space

2)   WEN HUI BAO - an article which is the source of the various photos
published in Av Week, etc ~1980 showing astronaut candidates undergoing
preliminary training

If anyone has the _Chinese_ articles, could they please contact me direct
because I am trying to get copies of them ?  I have plenty of western
reports about them, but it would be good to have the original material
which I can then arrange to have translated and then see what was actually
said.

Many thanks to anyone who can help in advance.
