"I love my hometown, and I hope to gain more achievements here, to make my hometown more beautiful," said Zhoigar, a Tibetan senior engineer at a meteorology institute in Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region.

"It is a great place!" said Zhoigar of her hometown Tibet autonomous region. "Many young people with doctorate and master's degrees come back to Tibet autonomous region to work and to contribute their power to their hometown."

Zhoigar got her bachelor's and master's degrees at Nanjing meteorology institute (now Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology), and got her doctorate from the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. She also did post-doctoral research in the Republic of Korea. After that Zhoigar went back to Tibet autonomous region.

Zhoigar already had many successful research projects, but when people indentify her as a scientist, she will insist that she is just a beginner.

"People have to feel the joy of the job all by themselves. During the research I learned much and got to know about many other fields, and that makes me feel happy," she said.
