On January 11-12, Shizhen and Gan went to Beibu Gulf University (北部湾大学）in Qinzhou (钦州) for the annual meeting of the Field Station of Pinglu Canal (平陆运河河口海湾生态系统野外科学观测研究站), amid which Zhizhen was able to see Xuelin（雪琳) and Hangyi(航毅) who were working in the lab of the university for pretreatment of our water samples collected from the coast of Beibu Bay. Both of them had been working very hard in the lab and Hanyi also on the sampling boat. We met as well Professors Wang Yinghui (王英辉) of Guangxi University and Tang Jianhui (唐朝辉)of Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone CAS, and jointly visited the Centaury Project of Pinglu Canal (平陆运河). It is very excited for us to meet occasionally there!
