An Italian astronaut posted a group of photos taken from space and attached several lines from a famous ancient Chinese composition, demonstrating her outstanding Chinese language ability that amazed Chinese internet users and language experts. 

Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian female astronaut in space, posted the photos and the Chinese sentences on her Twitter account on Wednesday during her mission at the International Space Station. 

The images in the group of photos are likely to be the day and night views of China's Bohai Bay and capital Beijing from space. 

Attached to the photos were several lines from the Preface to Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion, an ancient Chinese calligraphy masterpiece by famous Chinese calligrapher Wang Xizhi (303-361) from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420).
