Tong Dizhou's marine biology laboratory is located at 28 Laiyang Road, not far from the dormitory on Yushan road. However, he and his wife Ye Yufen (a famous biologist) are often busy in the laboratory until early in the morning, and they don't even have time to go home to have a rest. It was also in Qingdao that Tong Dizhou successfully cloned fish, which reached the highest level of biological embryo research in the world at that time.
