七九级化学系的李国发同学因病于二月七日在长春去世。
因为不是一个班的，我与国发并不熟悉，以至于前不久我到我们年级的网页上看
相片，居然觉得我从来不“认识”过这个人，那张笑脸对我好像十分陌生。我问
同学，这是国发吗？同学说，除了他还会是谁，那个活宝。
毫不夸张，国发一直是位年级级别的“活宝”，他的名字如雷冠耳，故事也很多。
就算记不得他的相貌，记不住他的名字简直就不可能。前不久他还在网上开玩笑，
好像变化不大。因为距离千万里，我只是听说过他有病，却没有想到病的那么严
重。。。病的那么严重也没有耽误他开玩笑，说笑话，并一再希望自己能坚持到今
年七月，我们同学二十年聚会。据同学们说，十年同学聚会时，他声情并茂地唱了
一首歌：一生中能有几次这样的夜晚一辈子能有几次不愿说再见。。。
声声慢！慢声声！仔细想一想，一生中相识的人到底有多少，难忘的时刻究竟有
几次？今年二十年再相会，我们就听不到国发的笑话和笑声了。。。四十岁的年
纪，正上有老下有小，说走就走，竟然无人能留得住。。。
据说国发年迈的父母从来不知国发生病之事，所以老年丧子之痛切切！曹光与李国
发不仅是大学同学，还是中学同学，与国发的父母十分熟悉。曹光愿意以好友之身
份为李国发的父母募捐，以示心意。有意捐助者请与下列同学联系：

Dear Sunny:
I got the sad news one step ahead of you from my high school classmate.
Remember that I was also his high school classmate. I actually tried to
call him on Feb. 2nd, but got no answer, after learning from one of my
high school classmates that he was admitted to a hospital. I saw him on my
trip to China last October, and he looked fine. How fragile life is!
I'd like to start a collection among our overseas classmates for his
parents whom I know very well. My high school classmate told me that
his parents were kept in the dark about Guofa's illness all these years. So
it must be quite a shock to them. Guofa also has a pre-teen son. All we
can do is to help the living.
Take good care, my friend,
Guang Cao
