Abstract
Dear Da:
It was on Monday, August 1st, 2011, that I received from our friend Prof. Tianrui Li the following heart-breaking E-mail message:
‘Our best friend Prof. Da Ruan (Chair of FLINS and ISKE) suddenly passed away yesterday (Sunday, July, 31st, 2011)’
My young charming friend Da, first I did not believe it - how it can be possible with you because only a few days ago I received an E-mail from you, but subsequent phone calls and E-mail messages confirmed that this ‘impossibility’ is true!! Sadly, yes, our friend Da you have left this earthly home for your heavenly abode and we do not have any choice but accept this reality.
