These comments prompted Liang to think more about the project's potential in helping science education.

"Many Chinese students consider chemistry to be a boring and abstract subject as they have to memorize a lot of elements and equations. I hope these videos can arouse their interest and curiosity in chemistry from a young age," Liang says.

Liang has moved beyond chemistry and set up the Beauty of Science brand, providing inspiring science education products and services for schools and families to encourage children to be curious and expose them to the beauty of science.

His efforts are also in line with the importance that the country attaches to science education to nurture talent. Since September 2017, primary schools in China have been providing science courses from first grade.

Liang also believes that rote learning is not suitable for young children and teachers should go beyond textbooks to get their students involved in science.

"I hope to do my part in making science education more interesting and inspiring," he says.
