Huang Danian，the well-known Chinese geophysicist，was born in 1958 in Guangxi，China.As a keen and able student，Huang went to the UK in 1993 to further his studies.
   By the time Huang moved back to China in 2008，he had been living and working in the UK for 15 years.He had a good job and a life there，but he gave it all up to return to home driven by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country.As one of the world's leading experts in deep earth exploration technology，Huang was invited to participate in the "Thousand Talent" programme.He took up a position at Jilin University，Changchun.
   Huang was named lead scientist on China's deep earth exploration programme，developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earth's crust（外殼）so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it.He set up an advanced lab，sometimes paying for equipment with his own money.Some described him as a "lunatic"（a "madman"），but this passion and drive enabled Huang to push forwards China's deep earth exploration technology into a world-leading position.Huang's devotion contributed to China's lunar probe（月球探測(cè)器）Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou-11 and Tiangong-2 in 2016.
   Huang's health also paid the price for his commitment to his work.He began having fainting fits（昏厥）in 2012，but paid them little attention，stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor- his work always came first.In November 2016，Huang fainted and was taken to hospital，where he was diagnosed with cancer.The disease was so advanced that he had just a couple of months to live.
   Like the true scientist he was，Huang never gave up，but always tried to push forwards.Even from his hospital bed，he continued his work，writing letters of reference for his colleagues and replying to questions from his students.Huang died in January 2017，aged just 58.More than 800 people attended his funeral to celebrate a life that burned so bright，but was so short.
