This thematic issue almost did not happen. One of us (JH) was almost killed two days after the deadline for article submissions. As a pedestrian on a sidewalk minding his own business, he was struck by a car that ran a red light and lost control after a collision. So when we write that we are delighted to be writing this introduction, over one year later, we both really mean it.

这个专题问题几乎没有发生。我们中的一个（JH）在文章提交截止日期后的两天差点被杀。作为一个在人行道上自顾自的行人，他被一辆闯红灯的汽车撞倒并在碰撞后失去了控制。因此，当我们写下我们很高兴能在一年多之后写这篇介绍时，我们俩都是认真的。
