On May 18-20, a group of us (Jin Biao, Haoyu, Jibing, Liu Xin, Shizhen, Zhang Gan) joined the 4th International Conference on Environmental Pollution and Health which was held in Tianjing, hosted by Nankai University ( 南开大学）。Haoyu, Jin Biao both presented their posters, and Jibin gave a nice oral presentation. I also visited Tianjing University for a quick view of the newly-established Institute of Surface Earth System led by Professor Liu Congqiang (刘丛强）. On the conference we met many good friends, including particularly former group members Zhao Zhen (赵祯）, Promita, Li Qilu (  李琦路）and Tang Jianhui (唐建辉）. I was very happy to see a student of Li Qilu, Cheng Xianghui (程相会) giving an oral presentation in my session.
