Professor Lau was my father's Ph.D. advisor. With his encouragement and suggestions, my dad became more thoughtful and started to do mathematical research rather than learn it. The Ph.D. experience gave my father the confidence to dream big and study further, which definitely changed his career from an ordinary math teacher to a curious mathematician. The change in thinking influenced my father's life profoundly. That is why he thought that Professor Lau was like his second father.
I met Professor Lau twice (the accurate number is more than that, but I was too young to remember), one was in a family dinner with my parents and his wife, and the other was in his temporary office when he came to the Central China Normal University as a visiting professor. Although I did not have a lot of chances to communicate with him, his sense of humor and friendly impressed me a lot.
He has not had the opportunity to come to China again in recent years because of his illness. I always hoped I could take my father, who was not fluent in English, to visit Professor Lau in the United States one day. It is a great pity that this dream can never be true.
Finally, as a daughter, I am grateful for Professor Lau's help to my father. As a student, I have admired his outstanding efforts in mathematics research for decades.
Thanks for making probability theory much easier for me (It was a night mare for me.). Thanks for all the guidance to the me and all the students that you have taught throughout the years in the department of Mathematics in the CUHK.
