Professor He is the most amazing man with enthusiasm, energy and an international reputation who is dedicated to solving the problems of those who have eye impairments in China. Most of the university students are studying treatment of the eye, studies range from nursing through to those studying to be ophthalmic surgeons and optometrists.

In recognition of her qualifications and achievements she was awarded the status of visiting professor. It was an amazing honour and experience. There were visiting guests from Italy, Japan, Holland and China who gave speeches or presentations on the fusion of art and science, neurology and the use of art and related sciences to treat various medical conditions.

The students cannot fail to be impressed by the welcome they received from Prof Wei and his staff and by their dedication and the excellent university facilities.
They deserve best wishes for their future success
