Before the Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute was established, people from the Yinfeng Biological Group contacted [[KrioRus]], the [[Alcor Life Extension Foundation]], and the [[Cryonics Institute]] (CI). [[Valeriya Udalova]] from KrioRus visited Yinfeng in October 2013.<ref>[https://kriorus.ru/en/news/first-cryopreservation-China The first cryopreservation in China]. kriorus.ru.
