"We all have a destiny." "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." Liaoteng believes the truth is somewhere in between, and has enjoyed opening many boxes of chocolates and making increasing number of friends. This page only shows some of his friends from Tsinghua Bio2, the class of 34 undergraduate students whose average admission score ranked No. 1 in 1992 among all undergraduate departments in Tsinghua, which was extraordinary given Tsinghua regularly commands the highest average admission score among all universities in China. Over half of Liaoteng's classmates ranked among the top 10 scorers of their respective provinces. Liaoteng always views it as an honor and privilege to spend his college life around some of the smartest people in his generation.
In summer 1997, Liaoteng came to the United States after receiving his B.S. in Biological Sciences and Biotechnology from Tsinghua University. Most of his friends before college are in China, and most of his friends in college are in the United States. About 80% of his classmates in Bio2, came to the United States, and are pursuing diverse career paths such as professors at Stanford and Berkeley, business managers for Fortune 500 companies, computer scientists, electrical engineers, biomedical scientists, and patent attorneys.
