发帖数: 103 | 1 I was shocked to hear that Fang Lizhi passed away. It was a very powerful
sad feeling.
I was a student of him at Arizona, long time ago. I heard about his stories
at USTC, wondering what kind of man he is. While at Arizona, I was quite
excited to attend his class in the spring semester. My first impression of
him is his size. He was quite short and chubby. He always stared at sky
while walking, so we joked that he is studying astronomy all the time. One
might imagine a guy like him must be quite erratic and hard to approach due
to his long time skirmish with politics. One also might guess that his
lecture must be terribly boring and hard to understand due to his strong
accent. Well I found out, with pleasant, that both claims are not true. He
is a genuine guy , who is always ready to help other people, especially his
students. He is always ready to have an open discussion with anyone at
anytime. That may explain that his waterloo in China between 1984 and 1989.
Aren’t we all be scolded by our parents of being too trustworthy towards
strangers at certain point of our life and then changed in one way or
another? Well it seems to me that Dr Fang never changed. And yes, he does
have a strong accent while speaking English. But that is not a problem for
me, because I always interpreted his sentences to Chinese and enjoyed every
words of it. Actually my fellow American students did not have any trouble
with his English at all. Dr Fang always enjoyed very high rating from
students!
After a while, I noticed that Dr Fang always kept science and politics at
two different boxes. He never talked to us about any politics, although I
guess he must have a lot to talk about on that subject. Till one day, I
realized that he was still involved in some level of politics. On that day,
He invited Wang Dan to Arizona to talk about 1989 movement and their
personal experience. Sometimes I fell personally that this may be his way
to protect his Chinese students at Arizona. After all, Chinese politics can
be extremely hurtful.
Overall I feel he is a very good physicist, a very good teacher, and a
very friendly and decent man. Any one, who can earn this kind of comment
from his/her formal students, must lead a fruitful and satisfying life till
the end. Such kind of life does not guarantee you will always be happy, on
the contrary, it can and will have happy peaks and stressful downs. But it
will guarantee one thing, which is you will be surrounded by love at the end
. Dr Fang just complete his journey, and at the end he is surrounded by
family, friends, colleagues and students. I am sure he has earned his seat
near the brightest star he always loves.
Rest in peace, Dr Fang! We will all miss you. |

at Arizona long time ago. There are many grammatical errors, almost in every
setence.
(2) Prof. Fang did not have a PhD degree.

楼主在这里想跟大家分享的是对方励之教授的追思，不管用的是汉语还是英语。
大家还是把这个帖子重心回到对方教授的悼念上吧。

但是没有学位授予,我见过有60年代的研究生被称为博士的,
我估计是不是国家有规定认可那阵子的研究生算博士了.
从质量和人数上看,我是没意见的.

发帖数: 547 | 15 几年前我有机缘在Tucson混过几天，在UA的校园里面有朋友指着一个矮胖的老头给我说
，那就是方励之。因为和方先生没有任何交集，虽然心有敬意，但不敢打扰。
后来见过方先生在Costco搬水，本来想上去帮一把的，那时老先生还挺利索，一下就搞
上去了。
听说方先生还曾每年六四在UA的草坪上点蜡烛悼念，但后来不知何故，没有继续下去。
感觉上，方先生到美国之后，反而不是那么参与政治了。
政治上正确与否，流于后人评说。但方先生既能在中国做学部委员，又能在美国做教授
，听说还是APS的fellow。学问上应该是很出色的。
方先生走好。 |
