邓子睿,他来过,活过,爱过。
两年前,子睿被诊断为非小细胞肺癌IV期。两年来,他从未逃避,从未灰心,反而以他的乐观和积极激励着身边的所有人,抚慰着身边的所有人。但终究,天不遂人愿,2021年的3月10日,他永远的离开了我们。
出生在湖南长沙1985年夏天的子睿,他的人和夏天的风一样炽烈,他席卷过的路都如此精彩,如此值得人们仰望。从湖南长沙的雅礼高中,到北京师范大学,再到北京大学,他的每一步都踏在学术与知识的顶峰。他聪颖而好学,好读书亦求甚解,所有的这些特质都将他引向了人类二十一世纪最前沿最能对世界做出贡献的学科——计算机科学。
子睿的一生,但凡爱,就一定爱得炽烈,爱得久长;对人如此,对事亦如此。
作为儿子,无论何时,无论身在何方,他都常常挂念着家里的爸爸妈妈,通信电话一次不落,尽他所能地将最好的事务奉献给长辈。作为丈夫,他与妻子相濡以沫羡煞旁人,无论是他们的相识、相知,还是相伴,都伴随着温馨、甜蜜还有欢声笑语。作为朋友,他永远是一个值得生死相托的人,他愿意牺牲自己的时间和精力来帮助一切他能帮助的人,当你需要,他就在你左右。作为铲屎官,他也尽职尽责地爱着身边的每一个毛球,Kuta和Momoko,它们会永远怀念他的气息。
他的一生也奉献给了他爱的事业。从毕业伊始,他就作为工程师就职于微软中国。从SQL、Bing到Office,从北京到西雅图,他永远用百分之百的精力做出百分之百的回报。
他的热情同样挥洒在众多的爱好至上,他喜爱一切人类创造的美好艺术:音乐、影视、小说、游戏、动漫,他的涉猎及其广泛。斯人宜静亦宜动,他还喜欢健身、滑雪、拉丁舞、摄影、网球……他的人生是如此的精彩,以至于他的35年足以胜过庸碌之辈的几个生世,他的人生也从来没有遗憾。
他走了,留下了挚爱他的妻子,他的爸爸妈妈,还有挂念他的朋友们。但他待人待事如此热情真诚,在所有人的心中刻下了深深的印痕,所以,只要我们还在,他就永远在这里。
