Fond memories of Zheng Wu and the time we shared. He was a schoolmate of my father's brother and also of my father's brother's wife during the Comrade Deng era.

Terrible to learn that Zheng passed away. I was trying to contact him for a guest lecture in HK. Xiaohong and I send this condolence. We had a lot of dinners together in a short 2 years while I was on faculty in Geography. Zheng was funny, always with Beijing's dirty words as we grew up in the same period, and not too far. The broadcast Bureau had some apt units there when Zheng grew up. We had a lot of fun memories of childhood environments.

Dear LanJing, I was deeply saddened to learn about Wu Zheng's passing ! I came across his obituary yesterday, almost exactly one year after his passing. Hope you have recovered from grief. It has been 27 years since we left Victoria. There, you and Zheng were the big sister and big brother to us younger friends. You fed us, entertained us, shared your experiences and gave us much needed advice. Pictures of our Tofino camping trip feel like happenings from yesterday. I will always cherish the precious memories. LanJing, take care !

Dear Lanjing and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, and so saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Zheng. I keep thinking of him as an anchor in our Social Sciences family and because of his untimely passing, many of us feel adrift now. I will always think of Zheng with the deepest admiration for his kindness, and his generosity of spirit to share his wisdom and his insights and his humor with everyone equally. My heart goes out to you in support at this time.

Zheng was an accomplished scholar who lived by his values. His integrity was especially visible as chair of the sociology department where his belief that the discipline is stronger when it embraces multiple perspectives ensured all were treated respectfully and valued irrespective of their ideological leanings. He was taken from us far too soon; his contributions as an intellectual and as a person will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to Lanjing.

No words can describe how excruciatingly shocking and painful I am for Zheng's loss. He has always been a dedicated scholar and a towering intellect. He was the best supervisor you could ask for. His wisdom and encouragement will always be my guiding light through thick and thin in life. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.

My condolences to the family. Zheng was the best mentor I've had in my career, and I will miss him. Zheng was my Master's advisor at UVic 1996-1998. He had a wonderful understated enthusiasm for his work, and he knew how to be motivational and supportive. I enjoyed learning the process of doing research from him, and his advice is still the advice I listen to all these years later.
