At the 60th anniversary celebration of teaching on 20110, Tu described his experience in scientific research practice according to the self-made PPT: three old sayings of hard struggle, three experiences of science and technology competition, three self-discipline of being a man and doing things, and talked about the history of China during the period, quoting famous aphorisms such as Mencius, Zhouyi and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "More than 80 years old.
