The defender, fearless and hardened :)
Ms. Yi Ling was giving a kind introduction on me to the committee members and audiences. In the very front of the picture are three female scholars in my committee: Dr. Hongya Gu (Peking Univ.), Dr. Shuhua Yang (CAU), and Dr. Xiujie Wang (CAS). They are all brillient scientists and good tutors!
I was doing the viva.
