The Pacific Rim Conferences for the first decade from the mid
1980's to the mid 1990's were primary concerned with binary stars
research. The Conference expanded to all areas of Stellar
Astrophysics for the last two meetings in Hong Kong; at Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology in 1997 and at the Hong Kong
University in 1999. At the conclusion of the very successful
Pacific Rim Conference on Stellar Astrophysics held in Hong Kong
University, members of the Sci entific Organizing Committee began
planning for the next conference. We approached Professor Tan Lu of
Nanjing University and Professor Tipei Li of the Institute of High
Energy Physics about hosting a con ference in China. The city of
Xi'an in Shaanxi province and a city in Yunnan province, were
considered to be the most likely locations. It be came crucial to
find the right person to serve as Chair (or Co-chairs) for the
Local Organizing Committee. Initially, Professor Lu was the logical
choice but he declined for personal reasons. Professor Li was
invited to lead a new department of Astrophysics at Tsinghua
University so he could not take on the additional load of chairing
the LOC. Professor Gang Zhao of Beijing Astronomical Observatory
was approached to take on the task but he also declined. This has
been a busy time for Chinese astronomers. The SOC decided to have
the conference dedicated to honor Dr. Helmut A."
