BEIJING - China hailed the success of its first manned space flight Thursday and immediately declared astronaut Yang Liwei a national hero, as tens of thousands of messages of pride and praise flooded Internet chatrooms.
"As a Chinese person, I am very proud of my country," said one of more than 40,000 messages, almost all congratulatory, posted on the Chinese portal Sina.com.

"Long live the motherland! Long live the Chinese nationality!"
Another nearly 40,000 messages bombarded rival portal Sohu.com's discussion forum just a few hours after Yang's capsule touched down at 6:23 a.m. (2223 GMT Wednesday) in the grasslands of Inner *.
"Welcome back our hero!" one Internet writer exclaimed.
After completing a 21-hour mission in which he orbited the Earth 14 times, Yang, 38, looked set to be feted for the rest of his life as a pillar of the country's drive to be accepted as a global power.
Described as a "warrior" by President Hu Jintao Wednesday, Yang was declared a "national hero" by officials Thursday.
"As the very first Chinese to fly in a space craft, I believe Mr. Yang Liwei is not only a hero in aerospace technology, but also a national hero," said Xie Mingbao, director of the Office of the China Manned Space Program.
Speaking at a press conference after the successful landing, Xie recognized the high publicity value Yang holds.
Activities with Yang and the public "will certainly be good for national patriotic fervor," Xie said.
In a country where the government is eager to boost patriotism and national unity to divert public attention from social problems, and to bolster waning popularity for the * Party, Yang would be a useful symbol of national dedication.
"They want to build the astronaut into a national hero that you can rally people around," said Derek Mitchell, a senior fellow for the International Security Program at the US-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"It's like anywhere, even in the US. It could help the leaders in power," he said.
Yang's hometown in Suizhong county, northern Liaoning province, wasted no time trying to capitalize on the fame of a local son done good.
County officials held a press conference Wednesday and unabashedly asked reporters to promote the county's products and its tourist attractions.
Yang's alma mater, the Suizhong County Number Two High School, has named a class after Yang.
Even Chinese basketball superstar Yao Ming might have to move over for the top fighter pilot.
"He's China's (Yuri) Gagarin," said Deng Yachao, a curator at the science museum, referring to the first man who went up in space 42 years ago.
"He'll be more famous than Yao Ming. He represents China," said Deng, who had answered many questions from museum visitors about Yang.
