Graduation photo becomes online hit

Graduation photo of Xue Yifan

The graduation photo of Xue Yifan has become an Internet sensation after she recently posted it online.

Xue is the only student in the paleontology program at the Yuanpei School of Peking University and her graduation photo was simply a picture of her.

Lu Xiaodong, deputy chief of the Yuanpei School, said the paleontology program only has one student in each grade.

"In each grade, there is only one student. A grade may not have any student at all (because nobody applies for it)," he said.

A native of Beijing, Xue has been an excellent student since she was a high school student, people.com reported.
