After the bad news came, Gao Yafang, dean of the School of Tourism of Lanzhou College of Arts and Sciences, choked up and said: "It is really sad, this child is very persistent about the cause he loves, his heart is simple, and he insists on doing what he likes." ”
She told reporters that Liu Tuo joined the Tourism College of Lanzhou College of Arts and Sciences in January this year and resigned in the middle of the year, "He communicated with me very sincerely, saying that teaching is not his strongest point of interest, and his favorite is archaeology." ”
