Dear Professor, Dear all my teammates of LDES,

It is a great pleasure for me to work with Prof. André Giordan and my teammates at LDES.

365 special days and nights, has being flashed by! While each is beautiful……

I have got warmhearted care from you, which let me feel that such an internationally influential team---LDES is more like a family.

I love the family!

Thank you to the family: André Giordan, Julen Ajuriaguerra, Anne Fauche, Francine Pellaud, Claudine Poupeny, Grégoire Lagger, and Sébastien Baelde, who share your research findings, thoughts, brightness and life stories openly with me.

Living in this harmonious family, I have being apperceived and enjoyed collaborations and intelligence distributions among members, and the collective contributions from the whole team; I thus began to understand how the culture of an excellent organization has been gestated.

I wish what I have written here shows how much I enjoyed spending time with you!

Here are special greetings and the best of wishes, too ----

May Christmas and the coming year bring happiness to you, wherever you go!

Yours sincerely,

Xinning
