"I want more people to observe the amazing world of outer space from a closer distance, to get to know more about astronomy. That's also part of the reason why I want to build it," said Wu.

"Everyone lives with a dream; it is my dream, my Chinese dream, and I will spend the rest of my life time to fulfill this dream."
