摘　　要：Upon hearing the news of Professor Perry L.McCarty’s passing,I felt deeply saddened and heartbroken,and was unable to contain my emotions.I couldn’t help but reminiscing about the cherished moments we shared together and the valuable lessons I learned from him over the years.I first met Professor Perry L.McCarty in 1985.Taking the opportunity of attending a conference in the United States,I visited Professor McKinney at the University of Kansas,the first American expert in my field that I had ever known of.I told him that I was very interested in Professor McCarty’s research on aerobic bio-filters and wanted to learn more.“Let me give Perry a call,”he said immediately,and in less than five minutes,Perry and I became connected.It turned out that Professor McKinney had been Professor McCarty’s teacher and mentor in the past.I changed my flight immediately and flew to California the next day,where I met Professor McCarty,a world-renowned expert in water pollution control,and visited the aerobic bio-filter he established and their water pollution control laboratory.We had inspiring yet amiable conversations,and a friendship that lasted for over 30 years ensued.
