Professor Fang: You were a source of inspiration to all of us in the physics department of the University of Arizona, faculty and students alike. We will always remember you. Rest in peace.
Prof. Fang, It was an honor and a pleasure knowing and working with you in the Department of Physics at the University of Arizona. Your kindness and devotion to science and teaching will inspire us and remind us of you.
As a co-author of his last scientific publication (2011 MNRAS 418, p853), I witnessed his quickness and sharpness till his last moments. If one can squeeze life for more, he made it to a superb level. As a scientist, I admire him as being younger when older, being more creative and original when more seasoned. R.I.P, dear Prof. Fang!
Prof. Fang inspired a whole generation of the youth both inside and outside China to stay with truth instead of power. His courage and wisdom will be remembered for a long time to come.
Prof. Fang, you have made so much positive impact on everyone of us at USTC! Because of you, we have been able to get through all the darkness around us and see the light of hope for our people; Because of you, we have come to understand that a real scientist will only be loyal to the truth, instead of to the authority. You have left us, but you will always be with us!
Professor Fang: I could not believe this sad news, as only a few days ago you were still discussing with my student Yang and me on our new on-going research project. Your enthusiasm in science and research is very impressive to me and you have set a good role model for all of us.
Prof. Fang, I saw you in hallway on Wednesday and could not believe that this was going to be the last time that I see you. Your dedication to research and education will inspire me forever.
Professor Fang, I love your class. I like talking to you. I still remember you talking about all the cute animals around your house. You are a person full of love towards life. May you rest in peace! Yijun(丁一君)
Prof. Fang will be remembered by the USTCers forever. Your spirits for democracy and your contributions to Astrophysics will be remembered in my life time. Rest in peace.
