It is with deep regret that we have to let you know that Prof. Shuzi Yang, the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering, passed away on Saturday, November 5, 2022. Prof. Yang had been ill for some time, but his illness did not stop him from actively pursuing his editorial commitments to Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering. His contributions to the journal cannot be overemphasized. His dedication, knowledge, and friendly nature will be sadly missed. He will be greatly missed not only by those close to him, but the wider scientific community.

On behalf of the Editorial Office of Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering
