My Moments

Take a look at some of my activities

Astronomy Lab
The dark spot in this photo can contain our Earth! In the lab, we observe sunspots and solar flares with advanced telescopes. Planets like Jupiter and moons are also our targets. Then, we composed two essays about Van Gogh’s Starry Night and the comparison between Western and Chinese Constellations, which are presented by us to teachers.
Chinese Kungfu
Practicing Chinese Kungfu for 7 years, I feel uncomfortable if not stretching myself to the largest extent every morning and evening. Also, I have already managed sets of Xing Yi Quan and Stick Acrobatic Play of Shaolin. My favorite for Kungfu began with an accident summer camp when I was 10 years old, but the achievement should be attributed to my perseverant practice, no matter rain and wind.
Astronomy Club Field Trip
See, Sirius was in the Southwest after dusk! To have a glimpse of pristine night sky, we trekked nearly 40 miles in the Kubuqi Desert. With temperature of negative 10 Celsius degrees, I was lucky to see transient meteors and the brilliant galaxy, the first time in my life! Getting up in 3 am, I waited for 5 planets appearing simultaneously and the sun rising up the horizon at 7am.
Youth Observer
Have you ever heard of Otomad Videos? They are created by Chinese teenagers to express their insights and show off their empathy to people in need through deliberate editions of celebrities’ photos or remarks. We were touched by their courage and wisdom and thus decided to write the first formal report in China for Otomad videos and their makers.
In the Community
How do you make sure simulated photos of the black hole are real? We were shocked by pupil’s questions while imparting basic astronomy knowledge about telescopes and black holes in the nearby community. I am glad to answer their questions and satisfy their curiosity since I can understand their pursuit of truth and science. Maybe the next Nobel Prize owner will be one of them!
Presentation
Admittedly, I am quite nervous while on the stage. However, I push my boundary to overcome pervasive fear and pacify my mind to give calm voice and stable sound. Gradually, I feel accustomed to speak in front of the public and bring my thoughts to people, whether familiar or not, with topics like astronomy, human geography, chemistry, and field trip. Now, I can present in front of anyone!

My Projects

A little else about what I do

Celestial Forecast

In weekly forecasts, you get to know the position of moons and planets, along with their observation conditions. Also, important events like solstices and oppositions are also on the list. For readers' need, our articles are all translated from English to Chinese.

Interstellar Molecules

Interstellar molecules is one of the biggest discoveries in twentieth century. The way to detect it is through radio telescopes. Our project aims to demonstrate the method and ability to detect molecules in space in ultraviolet spectrum.

Constellation

In our project, we discuss the similarity and difference between Western and Chinese Constellations. Searching papers on the Internet, we find the similarity in their origins but difference in their nomenclature and influences. One example is the Orion.

Oto MAD Video, a mirror reflecting teenagers’ mental world

22 August, 2018

In the last three years, from pervading to leveling out, Oto MAD video, a kind of video created for fun, begins to possess thought- provoking implicature. For instance, "My shampoo" and "Jin Kela" criticize exaggerated advertisements, "Battle scars" sati-rizes the war in Syria, "Da Song Ti Xing Guan" advocates justice and pours scorn on corruption.
Although the term "Otomad" is well known among young people, the exact time when Otomad video has spread around is the year 2015……

Back to the Square Point| Traveler Ayeesha’s Brave Insistence

18 January, 2019

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” ——Lao Tzu
When we saw photos of the newly renovated campus, Ayeesha said with full pleasure:“ See, this is the new shed,which was built to provide shade for girls and protect them from scorching heat in summer, as in Pakistan temperatures can reach as high as 40 ˚C. Here, students can play and drink clean water from the filter.”……

Restart

3 June, 2019

Rusty ashes stirred up by palpitant fire, we know we reached the surface of the Mars.
Belonging to the NO. 457 expedition team of the United Government, this mission aims to assist the NO. 455 and 456 teams with permanent settlement in the northeastern plain of the Gale Crater. This plain was once covered by a sea of acid but has now lost all its liquid. Cosmic rays slowly burned away the planet’s seas once it had lost its magnetic field. Fortunately, part of the acidic seas was permeated by a water-ice stratum, creating oxides and raising the percentage of atmospheric moisture to 3. Due to these reactions, the planet is able to support human activities, even at its most basic……

To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.

Ever since, looking up at stars, and not down at my feet.

Some teachers have to say.

Mr. Liu craves for pondering every phenomenon carefully, with intense curiosity and aspiration. Furthermore, he manages his best to prove his hypotheses and find correlations between events—— a student with distinguished scientific literacy.

“Insightful”, “knowledgeable”, “incisive”, and “creative” are not enough to describe him. He also has valuable sensitivity and enjoys words and writing. Besides, he combines favorites for astronomy with outstanding communication skills and platforms.
