Leonov was born in the Russian state of Kemerovo in 1934 and joined the army in 1953. He likes science fiction, especially the "beyond the earth" by Soviet rocket expert ziolkovsky. The description of outer space in this book aroused his strong curiosity. So when the Soviet Aerospace Department recruited astronauts again, he did not hesitate to sign up. Because of his excellent conditions, Leonov officially became a glorious astronaut in 1960.

In 1989, he paid his first visit to China at the invitation of the China Association of science and technology. During his visit, he visited Beijing, Shanghai and Sichuan and was awarded the title of honorary citizen of Chengdu. Leonov has always paid close attention to China's aerospace industry and praised China's achievements in the aerospace field. He said, "now many countries are conducting space exploration, but only three countries have their own spacecraft, systems and astronauts, including China.".
