In her first year of postgraduate studies, Li delved into research in the laboratory, eventually garnering industry recognition for her work and grasping the importance of "engaging in genuine scientific research" as a guiding principle.

Before completing her studies, Li interned at a nuclear facility nestled in the Gobi Desert of northwestern China. It was there that she experienced firsthand the pioneering spirit and arduous endeavors of China's esteemed nuclear industry pioneers, including luminaries like Qian Sanqiang, Wang Ganchang, and Deng Jiaxian. This experience cemented her decision to establish herself in the western region and dedicate her talents to the nation's defense initiatives.

In 1955, a momentous decision was made to relocate Jiaotong University, originally founded in Shanghai in 1896, to Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province in Northwest China. This strategic move aimed to bolster higher education and industrial progress in the less-developed western territories of the nation.

The migration of both faculty and students from Shanghai to Xi'an commenced the subsequent year, culminating in the institution's renaming as Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1959.

This historic relocation embodied a spirit of unity, dedication to tradition, and a pioneering ethos, encapsulating the core values of the university.

Inspired by the ethos of westward relocation, a multitude of students from Xi'an Jiaotong University, like Li Yifei, have dedicated themselves to the nation's progress, offering their expertise and vigor in service to their country.
