Looking back over my career, I was lucky to do what I love.
If I could be described as an animal it would be a cow.
My motto is “Heaven has endowed me with talents for eventual use” (天生我材必有用).
The greatest scientific advance of the last decade was the development of informatics from 2G to 5G.
When I was eighteen I wanted to be a soldier.
My favorite drinks are Chinese liquors.
The most significant historic event of the past 100 years was the emergence and disappearance of The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
My favorite saying is “seek truth from facts” (实事求是).
I advise my students that “actions are done after thorough consideration rather than casual decision” (行成于思毁于随).
My favorite molecule is 2,6-diphenylanthracene (DPA).
The principal aspect of my personality is “never give up” (永不言败).
