Young students were interested in the experiments that produce bubbles in test-tubes, smoke, fire and fluorescent color (荧光染料). “The most important thing is not the experiment you choose to make, but how you use the material to make it interesting and to give some knowledge,” he said. When asked about the videos online, he added, “I want to use the Internet to light up their interest in chemistry. Hopefully, I can give students a chance to actually see the beauty of chemistry, and some of them would love to become scientists in the future.”So far, he has visited more than 300 cities across China, giving chemistry lessons in schools, science museums and other places. But China is so huge that Evans realizes he needs to be more creative in reaching out to the public. So in 2018, he started uploading videos online. The 534 videos have received more than 9.9 million followers and 23 million “likes”.For his great efforts and achievements in China, Evans was given the Friendship Award, the highest one in China for foreigners, in 2001, and the China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award, the top scientific award for foreign scientists, in 2005.58.
