Guo Hui,

这么多年一直没有你们的消息。没想到得知时却是章坚英年早逝的信息，甚感伤痛！往日旧事历历在目，工作中，他那么聪颖，勤劳；为人热情，坦诚；还记得在你们家品尝他做的美味佳肴，还有你们分享的年轻时的浪漫故事...... 他留给我们的美好印象永远在我们心中。愿你和儿子节哀顺变，相信他的爱会继续陪伴你们前行。Yanxia(Rush)

惊闻章坚病逝，不胜唏嘘。我妻子曾和他在一个实验室工作，故得以与他相识，也因此在他的家参加过几次聚会。章坚为人低调谦虚，工作勤勤恳恳。他在芝加哥大学工作期间也曾访问过他的实验室。他离开芝加哥后便失去联系，没想到再一次听到他的消息竟然是他病逝的消息。逝者已矣，希望他的家人能节哀顺变，同时愿章坚安息。

惊闻噩耗，难以接受。多年的伦敦老友，愿你安息，天堂不再受病痛之苦。

往事历历在目：记得我们全家从日本移民加拿大时是你和我的朋友一起到机场接站的；记得我们两家一起出游千岛湖，划皮艇，赏枫叶；记得一起带着一样大小的孩子们到公园玩耍；还记得邀请你和漂亮美丽的夫人一起参加春晚的节目，还记得曾经的小合作并曾共同发表过文章...逝者匆匆，让我们来不及叙旧，只有翻开旧时的照片，回想曾经有过而又仿佛是在昨天的一幕幕...

章坚，愿天堂里的你一切安好。

Dr. Jian Zhang was one of the best scientists I have worked with! When we had discussions, his opinions were always right to the point and very constructive! I have learnt a lot from him! He was also a great person and friend who was always helpful. We are very sad for his pass! Rest in Peace!

突闻噩耗，万分震惊惋惜难过！愿故友天堂安息！R.I.P. Jian!

噩耗惊世，痛首碎心！挚友章坚离世，绝不能接受的现实。有幸在加拿大伦敦相遇，相处数年成至交好友，多少难忘的日子，建立了我们兄弟班的情宜。自离开伦敦后，多年没有见面，电话联系，亲情优在，感觉从未分开，你的笑声仍是那样的爽朗，你的乐观豁达是那样的有感染力。无奈老弟英年早逝，只愿你一路走好，天堂里无病通，安息天堂吧，章坚老弟！

We were shocked to hear the pass of our best friends! We lost one of the best friends, classmate in Hunan medical College, friend from same hometown, and collogue while working at the Ohio State University. Your persistent to pursue biological and medical science always encouraged everyone working around you to explore and understand and find the solution to fight cancers. Wish Rest in heavenly peace!

惊闻章坚离世，万分悲痛！章坚一家和我们同在加拿大伦敦多年，也是多年老朋友。永远怀念他。望郭慧保重！

惊闻噩耗，不胜唏嘘！[Sob][Sob][Sob]章坚是我在附一院工作时的同事，又是85级临床研究生同学。他很聪敏，但又为人低调谦和。记得他刚来芝加哥时，专门到我诊所看我的情景还历历在目。他的离世，我是很悲痛的的。愿章坚同学安息天堂，永无病痛。

我和章坚夫妻俩是三十年多年的老朋友了，在他们住在芝加哥的十几年里，我们两家经常来往，章坚不但科研工作出色，还做一手地道湖南菜，怎么忙，他也会利用节假日掌勺烹制美食以飨朋友…。永远怀念你：章坚！❤️☘️

我们的老朋友章坚在加拿大从事博士后研究时，与我和我太太在同一所大学。我们家与他家，还有其它几家湖南同乡经常在一起轮流聚歺。一年多前去看望他时，还一起回忆那段美好的时光！后来，他一家也来到芝加哥工作，他们家刚来的时候，我还去帮他搬过家。他身体平稳的时候，我们还象以前一样每年轮流聚会。只可惜病魔无情，一个才华横溢的老朋友最终还是英年早逝！诚愿他一路走好，天堂安息！

Our old friend Zhang Jian was in the same university as my wife and I when he was doing postdoctoral research in Canada. Our family and his family, as well as several other Hunan fellows, often take turns to gather together for dinner. When I visited him more than a year ago, I still recalled that wonderful time together! Later, his family also came to Chicago to work. When their family first arrived, I helped him move. When he was in good health, we took turns meeting every year as before. It's a pity that the illness was merciless, and a talented old friend died young in the end！We sincerely hope that he has a good journey and rest in peace in heaven!
