　　In India, Chinese cuisine is very famous.

In 2017, I am very happy.

(Because) I have the opportunity to go to China.

　　[Explanation] Liu Xing was very happy when he learned that he had the opportunity to study abroad when he was studying for a master's degree at the University of Surini in India.

When she came to Lanzhou University, she started to study yellow river fish with the help of her mentor and classmates. When talking about why she chose to study yellow river fish, she said that the reason for studying yellow river fish and learning related technologies is to integrate the knowledge learned and use it for improvement. The water quality of the Ganges River.

　　My previous idea was to study the fish in the Ganges and conduct some experiments to verify what heavy metals are in the river.

In my opinion, this is not a geographical issue.

If you look at the history of microbiology, the history of microorganisms, you will find that different microorganisms appear in different countries, and it is everywhere.

　　[Explanation] Liu Xing sampled the Yellow River water from different places and tested the heavy metal content in it through experiments. At the same time, he was also looking for ways to remove heavy metals from fish by probiotics.

　　For this research experience, Liu Xing considered the most precious time.

She said that in India, some families believe that girls should not be too far away from home, while boys have more choices.

Fortunately, her family is very open-minded and supports her to study in China.

　　As the first PhD in the family, Liu Xing said frankly that in addition to the support of his family, there is also the help of the Chinese government.

　　In the scholarship program, the Chinese government recruits foreign students to study in China and provides scholarships for international students, which makes it easier for international students to work and study in China.

Because not all students can afford their own study expenses, scholarships have really helped us.

　　[Explanation] As a doctoral supervisor of Liu Xing, Li Xiangkai is a professor in the School of Life Sciences of Lanzhou University. He said that doctoral studies require more self-study. For teachers, they will help students solve problems without reservation.

　　Doctoral studies are different from our undergraduate or high school studies, mainly because they study on their own. We don’t care if we don’t keep it. (For example, we give) a topic. If we do it ourselves, if we encounter problems, I will discuss and solve them with you. (Liu Xing ) She has learned how to reduce heavy metals and has published high-level papers.
