Hope he has a successful trip. Being part of the first generation of Chinese astronauts and just now getting the opportunity must have been frustrating.

Frustrating is never getting chosen, or chosen and never going ever, like many trainees. Just being selected for the training program is already awesome and you're basically already a trained taikonaut

Well there are some first-gen Taikonauts who have already retired without ever getting to space.

He's lucky 'cos there were several first batch taikonauts retired before their mission to the space.
He is the last active first-batch taikonauts.
