2.杜红穗同学英年早逝 3.悼念杜红穗文摘
12, I was shocked and saddened to learn about the passing of Du
Hongsui. How can
that be?
The first time I met him was during the medical
checkup before we could enroll in GW77.
Du was the first one in the lineup for the vision exam. He aced it with 20/20 vision.
I was next in line. I
was extremely anxious and nervous, worrying about my eye sight and
so on. Du walked by
me, flashed his good-natured smile, and asked me jokingly whether
I needed help to read the chart.
That distracted me from worrying and I did pass the vision
exam, maybe not quite 20/20.
We both showed up in the English Department.
Remember, he was a skilled basketball player?
And he was also the coach for the 77 Girls’ Basketball
Team! I played as a
backup guard. Cui
Xiaoling and Fang Guanhong were the regular guards.
Under Du’s coaching, we cruised our way to the finals,
against the Teaching Staff Team.
By half time, we were behind.
The usually brilliant Cui Xiaoling was injured and tired,
so the coach sent me to the court to replace Cui.
We fought our way back within two points, one basket,
before we ran out of time. So
close. The girls and the coach lamented the loss together.
Then with his easy-going smile, he said “next time.”
Even though I don’t think we played another tournament,
those games were ever memorable.
In the summer of 2003, a group of GW77ers had a gathering
in the Fengshou Shanzhuang Restaurant right beside the GW campus.
After dinner, Du Hongsui gave me a ride home to my
brother’s condo on Huanshi Road and Jianshe Da Road.
Besides me in the car were Zhao Heng and Zhou Nan.
Zhao Heng teased him about how his chauffer attentatively
ushered him into the limousine in front of the China Hotel,
obviously on his way to a business meeting. Again with that same gentle easy-going smile, he said he
liked to drive himself whenever he could.
We had a jolly time all the way from Huang Po Dong.
He found a spot to stop on the busy Huanshi Road, right
across from the 60-plus stories Guangdong Hotel.
I said thank you and good-bye, and hurried out of his car. I waved from the sidewalk as he pulled away and merged into
the busy evening traffic.
May the fond memories of his fulfilled life give strengths
to his wife, Xiao Pan, and all of his friends during this grieving
time.

6.I am shocked to learn that Du Hongsui passed away at such a
young age. He was always a jolly soul who knew how to enjoy life
and lived it to the full. I was fortunate to have been his
classmate for almost four years and had had the opportunities to
meet him in New York several times, the last of which was only
in 2006. I will always cherish his memory.

7. I was so much shocked by the news! In my memory, he was such
an energetic person! It was a pity that I missed the chance to
have dinner with him when he came to visit NYC last year! Can't
believe he's left us forever! He will be missed by all GW77ers!
My thoughts are with his family.

8.I'm deeply, deeply saddened by the shocking news of the
passing of our schoolmate and dear friend Du Hongsui. He had
always been a kind soul to everyone around him. I was fortunate
to meet him all three times when he visited Los Angeles in the
last 15 years or so, in his capacity as Guangzhou Foreign
Affairs official as well as the Deputy General Manager of the
Great China Hotel. One could be easily drawn closer to him by
his cunning charm. In the album of GW77 website, I think Ah
Liang posted a couple of pictures with our Smoker laughing and
enjoying a piece of blackened chicken wing during a BBQ
gathering in his honor hosted by Li Lee and Xiao Xin in
Cerritos, California.Ah Du will be fondly remembered.

9.悼念老大哥同学杜红穗
惊悉老大哥你走了！走得太突然了。两年前我到广州，前两年你来北京，咱们还一起吃饭聊天呢。你还是那么潇洒，笑容满面，侃侃而谈。感觉你身体跟在广外一样健康。怎么就这么快走了呢？！老大哥，在广外时，还记得我们一起打篮球吗？我到了大学才学打篮球。可以说不会打。你和区列等老大哥同学，一起教我打篮球。可以说，在你和众多的老大哥、大姐的帮助下，我这个小弟弟同学，度过了4年的广外时光。
还记得吗？23年后我出差到广州，到中国大酒店去看你时。当时你在开会，听说是一个北京的姓仵的人来看你。你马上离开了会议，出来见我。见到我第一句话，“哈哈哈，我就知道是你。小仵，长这么大了？！哎吆，也有白头发了！
“ 那么的亲切，那么的熟悉。嗓音都没有变。没想到，一别就再也见不到你了，老大哥同学。
和其他同学一样，我会深深地怀念你。一路走好，老大哥同学！也望嫂子和亲属节哀，多多保重身体。

10.I am so sorry to hear about this sad news. I still remember
the last time I saw Du Hong Sui in SF when he came to US for a
visit and that was about 20 years ago. His young and energetic
image will live in our memory forever.This is also a wake up
call to all of us that we are now entering our middle age and we
definitely need to take care of our health. Eat healthy,worry
less and exercise regularly. Life is short and let us enjoy it
as long as we could.

11.忽闻8班杜红穗同学上周被癌症夺去生命.他大概是50出头,任中国大酒店副总经理,事业蒸蒸日上.他的不幸,令人叹惜和怀念.
我和杜红穗”SMOKER”一直有联系.在学校是邻班和邻宿舍,我们有相同经历,都是带薪读书,经常一起活动.较为深印象的是他从家里带来一枝气枪,射杀宿舍后面的大老鼠.毕业后他在广东外办,工作上经常来往和我见面.
他来美国大概有5,6次,去年来三藩市纽约,前几年来洛杉叽都有跟我们同学见面和联系.
杜红穗喜欢交际,烟酒不离.在大酒店任职时,经常和当地部队企业来往搞关系,他的酒量,用他自己的话来说,"杀晒"(无人相比).
去年来三藩市,同学都劝他不能嗜烟如命.他原来在外办调到大酒店时考虑到每个月的收入胜过外办一年才去的.近几年,他周末都去打球钓鱼,应该是劳逸结合.可惜,几个月的时间说走就走了,无缘于自己的事业和财富,真是令人感叹和戒备.
我希望他没有遗憾没有痛苦地往另外一个世界去了.
失了一位豪爽,侃谈,助人,引以为豪的同学我感到痛心可惜,但我也有欣慰的,他的一生虽短,但价值高,质量不凡,有值得庆幸的地方来勉励我们好好地生活.
SMOKER, 我们是会记得你的!
