Recently the research group led by professor Chen Zhigang of NKU School of Physics and TEDA Institute of Applied Physics conducted a joint research with the research group led by professor Buljan of University of Zagreb in Croatia, challenging a traditionalbelief about symmetry protected states. They found that,without the quantized topological invariants and a certain overall symmetry of the system,the topological boundarystatescan still exist in the relevant sub-space and protected by the sub-
