From Jiacheng Xu

Dear Rud and Ann:
I am very sad to hear the news about JT. It is so sudden! I have some memory for JT. I was first knew JT When your first visit to Beijing. I had seen his picture as a toastmaster of his sister wedding ceremony; I knew JT is an important role in your family. Then I got more information about JT in Ann’s lecture. And knew more and more from the books for special education and law for special education that means I have learned a lot from JT. He lets me understand more the personal life and the society.

I had not meet J.T., when I visited you at 2006, but I lived in his house for a week. At that time he had a trip outside with his roommate, I felt so near with JT. When one day I had got telephone called for JT form his friend. When we visited your house, we saw JT’s room with you.

From all of these, I knew JT is how important for you in your life and work. And something same to me, JT’s life deeply infected our life and work also.

His life is an opening book for our read and thought. I think the book is opening for ever，JT will living in all of our hearts for ever!

Hearty condolence to you may you have strength to bear this great affliction!
