The original online version of this article was revised: In section 4 titled ‘Building a Career and a Family’, paragraph beginning with ‘As recalled by his student.’, the first sentence, ‘As recalled by his student Yonsheng Han, during that first visit to China Guido was 51 and the average age of his students was 55.’ has been removed. In Figure 15, the caption was incorrectly published as ‘Guido Weiss (front center) with students from Peking University 1980’ and the corrected caption is, ‘Guido Weiss (front center) with students from Beijing Normal University (1985). Several students and faculty present worked with Guido in 1980, as well’.
