Abstract
I first knew Manuel by his scientific work. In 1983 when I started my postgraduate study, Prof. Bailin Hao, my advisor in China, who is also a good friend of Manuel, gave me a few topics to choose as my research direction. As the introduction to one of the possible research areas, a review article on the stability of fluid motion by Normand, Pomeau and Velarde in Review of Modern Physics caught my attention. This review article became not only the introduction to my research career, but also the introduction to my relation with Manuel, who eventually became my Ph.D. thesis advisor, a father-like tutor of life and a great friend.
