QingTian award to Yang Li
On February 20th, Dr Yang Li was awarded a top Chinese prize -'The Scholarship of QingTian Association of the Netherlands'- at a ceremony in Rotterdam.

The event has been reported on several official Chinese news websites, including that of the Xinhua Agency (the most important official news journal in China).
