亲爱的朋友,你在天上过的还好吗?每次想你的时候我总是告诉自己要抬头微笑,微笑的时候眼泪总止不住的哭,只有想念夜空中那颗最亮的星星就是你,就像小王子终究要回到他的星球上一样。读到一位逝者在自己碑文上留给爱人的诗,想送给你的妻子和女儿,愿她们坚强的,远离忧伤的走下去,你一定也是这么希望的。

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight;
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
So heed,hear,when you awaken,what I say.
I live with you and guard your way.

Anna, and your family, Growing up in Spartan Village fostered a great sense of community for everyone, especially in children like myself and Anna. The clearest memory I have of Dr. Han was walking home from International Day festivities one year, my family with yours. I remember sensing, even as a young boy who didn't know much in the ways of the world, how loving and wonderful a father Dr. Han must have been. After losing contact with Anna for seven years, it was of great shock and sadness for me to learn of such a tragedy. It has almost been a year since I learned of the terrible news, and stumbling across this guest book has made me reflect upon my own life, and how every one of us must cherish those most dear to us. I cannot imagine the pain and grief your entire family must experience every single day, but I wish you all the strength not only to continue living life to the fullest, but also the strength to remember a wonderful man, to cherish every memory of the past. ~Yang

As a highly energetic and dedicated employee, Dr. Han was always on the move, buzzing from room to room as he completed his tasks for the day. Therefore, most of my contact with him between 8:00 and 4:30 involved exchanging smiles and pleasantries as we passed in the hallways. Most of our meaningful time together was spent after the lab closed and the other employees had left for the evening. Frequently we were the last ones to leave. Sometimes I left first and would always say, "See you tomorrow!" He would smile and wave and say, "See you." If Dr. Han left first he would always stop by my office and say, "Time to go!" as a way to encourage me to stop for the day and go home myself. It was in those hours after everyone else left for the day that we spent the most time talking. As the evening cleaning crew vacuumed and swept, we would discuss the progress he was making with his work, both the victories and the challenges. He would tell me his latest ideas for improving his work and then he would leave with a simple, "Time to go!" Sometimes in the evening, Dr. Han talked about his wife and daughter, to whom he was very dedicated. He had great pride in his daughter Anna, in her accomplishments, and in her future. He cherished the time he spent with his family. Before leaving to go to Michigan, he would say, "See you next week" and then of course, "Time to go!" Dr. Han had a generous, humble, joyful, and kind spirit. He truly enjoyed people. In four years I never heard him say an unkind word to anyone or about anyone. If everyone on Earth aspired to follow his example, the world would be a closer step to Heaven, where he surely is today. I will remember him fondly as I think about his final words to me, "Time to go!"

Dr. Han was usually the first person I would see when I arrived at the lab each morning. It was always great to see his smiling face and hear his pleasant voice of “good morning”. If the weather in the morning was the least bit chilly he would remark about it being cold. He may have felt cold on those mornings but a warm heart always radiated from him. He will truly be missed.

While working at the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission I had the honor of knowing Dr. Han. Upon my arrival at work, I would often see him in the kitchen. He would be taking a morning break with a huge glass of milk. By that time, Dr. Han had already been at work for hours. We would joke around and it got my day off to a good start. Through out the morning, I would often pass by a room where Dr. Han would be diligently working. It was not uncommon to see Dr. Han and Dr. Kienzle in an animated discussion about PCR. I have never seen anyone get so excited about viruses! He truly loved his work. I will miss his quiet presence and humble attitude. Dr. Han wasn't just a co-worker. From talking with him, I got a better understanding of what life was like growing up in rural China. He had grown up in a climate that was similar to Arkansas' so our hot /humid summers were familiar to him. It was fascinating to hear his stories about his early education. He told me that the students would bring fresh vegetables and rice from home. The school cook would then prepare each student's meal. I also learned that ping-pong was very popular and he enjoyed playing. I learned that as a vet he worked with Water Buffaloes which are widely used on farms in China. I also learned that Beijing is one very crowed city! Dr. Han broadened my world and provided a glimpse into another culture. It made me realize, the courage it must have taken to leave China and come to the United States. Dr. Han was a gentle soul. I am a better person for having known such a person.

Cunqin was a very good friend of our family! It's still very hard for us to believe that he is no longer around! A few days ago, we were stiil expecting him to come back to join his family and us friends in East Lansing for a short vacation. Cunqin was a hard working, considerate, and responsible man. He is likable among friends and deeply loved by his family. He will be missed by us for the time to come!
