Besides the Opening Ceremony and the Invited Talk, Zhu Chenguang also took part in sessions on information retrieval and other areas of his interest, during which he took notes carefully and was very active in asking questions. During coffee breaks, Zhu Chenguang also exchanged ideas with professors and students from all around the world. His identity as an undergraduate student from Yao Class of ITCS at Tsinghua University brought him praises from participants of the world-top conference.
After the presentation, Zhu Chenguang visited the Lantau Island together with other participants in a cable car and enjoyed the great scenery of the blue sea and majestic mountain landscape. Then they went to have dinner at Jumbo Kingdom and enjoyed such traditional Chinese performance as Lion Dance and Sichuan Opera “Changing Face”.
