In Memory of Professor Ernst-Joachim Mestmäcker

On April 26, Dr. Dong Yiliang, who is living in Hamburg, Germany, told me that Professor Mestmäcker had passed away on April 22 at the age of 97. With deep grief, I couldn’t help thinking of my experiences with him since 1988. Yes, I was very lucky to have had Mestmäcker as my academic mentor for more than 30 years. I have been very grateful, as his great thinking on competition law and policy has been the guiding light for my academic research and has left a deep imprint on my academic carrier.
