[Explanation] During the day, I was a PhD student in the School of Energy and Power of Xi’an Jiaotong University; at night, I was "incarnate" as a talk show actor. This is the life of the "post-90s" guy Liang Dunhuang for the past two years. From engineering rationality to comic sensibility, Liang Dunhuang repeatedly experienced the different tastes brought by the two roles.

  The weekend night is the performance time of the local talk show team "Coke Comedy" in Xi'an. As the team leader, Liang Dunhuang needs to arrive at the theater in advance to carry out set-up work. Before leaving, Liang Dunhuang did not forget to go to the laboratory to finish his work.

  Liang Dunhuang told reporters that talk shows are a relatively common performance in European and American countries. Domestic talk shows are somewhat different from them, and they tend to be in the form of "stand-up comedy". In 2018, in a talk show club in Shenzhen, Liang Dunhuang started his first performance, completing the transition from a "senior" fan to a performer. After returning to Xi'an to study a Ph.D., he used his free time to form a team, and the stage name "Milk" has become another label for him.

  Many people think that our engineering students, for example, our engineering doctors will be relatively dull, but in fact there are many ways of humor, such as art students, liberal arts students, he may have more of them in a very tense, very humorous On the show. We engineering students may focus more on the structure and logic of our jokes, and then some of our more humorous ideas, as well as our unexpected performances.

  [Commentary] Before this performance, Liang Dunhuang organized a team for a communication meeting. Through conversations, everyone will share and polish the creative jokes and dig out new laughs. Liang Dunhuang said that in recent years, the popularity of variety shows such as "Tucao Conference" and "Talk Show Conference" has made more and more young people in the Mainland begin to "get close to" talk show performances, and audiences watching "Coke Comedy" The initial number of people has grown into hundreds.

  The performance started at 8pm, and the actors and actresses such as Liang Dunhuang made witty words and jokes, making the audience laugh. For the audience, the talk show may be just a delightful performance. But in Liang Dunhuang's view, talk shows are as important as scientific research, and the two together constitute his life.

  I think that after graduation, if possible, I hope to take this into consideration, whether it is scientific research or talk show. Because there are already many excellent talk show actors, he also takes care of two jobs at the same time. And I don’t think these two things are in conflict. Scientific research, such as a PhD in engineering, is helpful to the scientific and technological productivity of our society. In the aspect of talk show, I can further let the whole society and everyone go further. Pay attention to understand some of his life as a scientific researcher and some of his thoughts. On the other hand, this is also a kind of promotion and help for some scientific research in our country.

  [Explanation] Liang Dunhuang said that under the premise of ensuring scientific research, he hopes to lead the team to move forward and create more outstanding works, so that the city "spits out" more laughter.
