He turned 70 and a symposium on Statistics and Data Science in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine was held at Stanford, where the speakers were mainly his former PhDs and Postdocs. It was a precious opportunity for me to talk to so many outstanding Wonglab alumni, who are now professors at Harvard, Berkeley, Duke, U Penn, Michigan, UCAL, UCSD, etc. I also felt very lucky to talk to many pioneers, such as Michael Waterman. As I accompanied Michael and several other professors back to hotel, I was reminded of the time when I learned the Smith-Waterman algorithm as a beginner in the field of computational biology.</p>
<p>I am still immensely fascinated by all the stories that the Wonglab members shared at the celebratory dinner. I could tell that Wing was so touched and happy to see all his former students, colleagues and friends gathered to honor his remarkable life and career. I was also moved when Wing got a bit choked up while giving a short speech. I want to say that Wing has always been a great mentor and role model who guides, motivates and inspires me. I really want to express my sincere gratitude for his guidance, motivation and inspiration. He taught me not only how to do research, but also the values and ethics of being a good scholar and a good person. I deeply appreciate all his help throughout my academic journey, and I hope to follow his footsteps and make him proud someday in the future.</p>
<p>Happy birthday to you, Wing!</p>

I has been following news from different social media platforms these days and obviously Ronaldo was closed to sign Manchester City. It is actually not a good taste in my heart as I know many MU fans will be disppointed. I woke up in the morning and found that transfer of Ronaldo has been officially announced. I did not feel very excited at the first time until she told me that it was Manchster United! I’m still shocking how MU made it happen in such a few hours.</p>
<p>I really cannot believe CR7 will return to Manchester United after 12 years. He almost won everything in MU and then transferred to Real Madrid, and Juventus. Now the man is back home at the age of 36!!!</p>
<p>你在无数顶级联赛证明了自己,如今誉满归根,回到梦起始的地方。你是伯纳乌的传奇,但回到曼市,你还是那个驰骋球场的青葱少年!</p>

I am a super fan of Real Madrid. My favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo, although he was transferred to Juventus in 2018, which made me kinda heart-broken. Ronaldo had a tough childhood and faced many difficulties during his early career, but he kept going and pursued his goal and finally becomes one of the best football players in history . His toughness, persistence and passion for his career really motivate me a lot.</p>
