Born in 1958, in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Huang Danian had an interest in geophysics from an early age. He devoted his life to science, making many sacrifices along the way and eventually went to the United Kingdom for further study in 1993. Huang died of bile duct cancer, with tumors spreading to his stomach and liver, in January last year, at the age of 58. A bright star in the world of science had fallen, leaving the scientific community in grief. During his last days in hospital, Huang continued to answer his students' questions, assign work and write recommendation letters for his colleagues. But as some of his students said, Huang's passing was not a good-bye, as his spirit and words would always be with them.
