They also proposed to establish a synchronous radiation light source site in Lanzhou, mainly managed by LZU. Yan Chunhua was in favor of the proposal believed that the idea, with a bright prospect, would provide an important platform for jointly cultivating students and promoted the development of disciplines like bioscience, medicine, chemistry, physics, materials science and geography.
Yan Chunhua also invited the presidents of their universities to participate to the Presidents Forum held in 2019, which marks the 110th anniversary of LZU.
