Stepanyants: It is well-organized and very big, though not unexpected, just like other<br />

international conferences. I personally prefer something smaller where people have<br />

more chance to have closer exchange. I am a bit disappointed to find out that I am<br />

the only one from Russia. Given the historical ties between Russia and China, I hope<br />

there could be more collaborations between the countries in the academic field. I<br />

certainly look forward to that.<br />

<strong>PKU</strong> <strong>News</strong>: Thank you for your messages <strong>of</strong> tolerance and freedom. We wish you a<br />

pleasant stay here in Beijing.<br />

Stepanyants: Thank you.<br />
