Thank you Da for visiting us so much love and friendship.

The memorial service ceremony for Prof. Da Ruan took place on Saturday, August 6 at 11 a.m. in the SCK/VITO Conference room, Boeretang 200, 2400 Mol, Belgium, where Da lived and worked. The ceremony aimed and focused on remembering and celebrating the wonderful life of Da. Over 500 people including Da's colleagues in SCK and universities, friends and family relatives from many cities of Belgium as well as Australia, UK, Spain, Germany, France, Mexico, and other countries attended the ceremony especially Da's sister and niece from Shanghai.
The Master of ceremonies was Mia the closest friend of Da's family. The ceremony was organized in a very formal and professional way, followed by recorded music, the singing of hymns, and individual speeches including Da’s sister Fei Ruan, the General Director of SCK Mr. Eric van Walle, Da friends Prof. Etienne Kerre and Prof. Jie Lu. There was deep grief, but more of a focus on memory, peace and comfort.
All speakers and musicians on stage had a very close personal relationship with Da. The big screen on stage had a slide show of Da's latest pictures full of smiles and energy, which again and again make us recall the fragments of life which will stay so close in our memory. Da's funeral urn was surrounded by floral tributes sent by the Chinese Embassy in Belgium, SCK, family, some universities and institutes, and close friends. The ceremony lasted for about two hours and finished with all the guests meeting with Da's family members in person and giving their sympathy and condolence to them.
