During the discussion sessions, the female physicists patiently answered various questions raised by students, including those related to studying, living, pursuing postgraduate education, job hunting, and life choices. They encouraged everyone to leverage their strengths, be proactive, choose a field of study they are interested in, or gradually discover their interests in learning and work. They emphasized the importance of perseverance in pursuing research and engaging in meaningful scientific endeavors. The female physicists served as role models through their actions, explanations, and exemplary conduct, encouraging female students to walk their own paths with optimism, positivity, and confidence, and to become their true selves.
The 'China Women Physicists' Touring Lecture' event was initiated by the Women Physicists Committee of the Chinese Physical Society in 2013. It is held annually with the aim of introducing the current status of female physicists both domestically and internationally, encouraging the active participation of women in physics research, inspiring female university and high school students' interest in physics, and promoting the development of the scientific research careers of female physicists.
