On May 7-10, 李静li Jing, 徐步青Xu Buqing and 张干Zhang Gan attended the 第四届气体同位素技术与地球科学应用学术会议4th National Symposium on Gas Isotope Geochemistry in 西安Xi’an. Gan delivered a plenary speech on compound-specific radiocarbon;  Buqing gave an oral presentation on diacids in Lhasa, and Li Jing talked about radiocarbon mapping by plants in Shenzhen, respectively.  We were invited by professor 牛振川Niu Zhenchuan, to visit   the CAS Institute of Earth Environment at Xi’an on May 10, giving, jointly, a ‘big’ presentation with stories and academic elements on the development and applications of radiocarbon technology in our group.  On May 9th night,   we went jointly with 丁翔Ding Xiang to 大唐不夜城Nightless City of Tang Dynasty and enjoyed the views and traditional art performances, where we surprisingly met 王晓Wang Xiao who was a member of our group. Gan was happy to join with two Swordswomen in their cosplay performance for fun.  It is a trip full of nice food, familiar people and enjoyable academics.
