摘要

I joined Don Helmberger's group in the summer of 2008,after getting a Master's degree in China from Sidao Ni,another graduate student of Don's.I was very excited,because Don has a giant academic family tree and I thought I would become Don's last student,which is quite an honor in the Chinese culture,so-called the"final apprentice".I was wrong!Don had another seven students after me and the final apprentice honor went to Voon-Hui Lai.Over Don's long career,he had scores of students,many of whom are now big names in academia,especially in the United States and in China,because Don mentored a number of Chinese students.
