Li Zhi Fang

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I was one of the lucky people having my life intertwined with yours during my graduate school years at USTC. I thought to myself what an honor when I saw my name listed along with yours on a department election poster around late 1986.

I was in the department greeting when you returned from Beijing to our department. I remember you said you were then under direct supervision of Zhao Zhiyang.

I also remember our department secretary (you should know her name) told me multiple times you would give her your suitcase when you returned from overseas trips.

You are the guiding light in this dark world, the brave fighter for the future of others.

You will always live in my heart.

I.m so sorry for your loss may you be comforted

Dear Professor Fang, Rest in Peace! People in China will remember you and thank you, because you planted the seeds of enlightenment. Soon or later it will blossom like wild flowers.

Dear Prof Fang,

You set an example for Chinese intellectuals to be courageous to care about their country men and to advocate freedom and justice!
