"How far is forever?" This is the QQ nickname of Yongyuan Senior Brother. Although I have not used QQ for many years, I can still remember this nickname clearly. I never expected that the question of "How far is forever?" seemed to have a heavy answer a few days ago: Senior Brother died in Haidong, a foreign country, on August 9, at the age of 37.

At noon on August 1, I learned from my friends in Korea that my senior brother Yongyuan had suddenly fainted and was hospitalized the day before. After several verifications, I learned that he had undergone two operations after fainting due to cerebral hemorrhage the day before, but he was still not awake and his condition was very critical. I immediately notified my senior brother's teachers and friends in a small circle, especially his senior sister in Korea and his roommate during his study abroad. All I could do was to wait anxiously for news from Korea every day in China. During this period, I also helped his family with other teachers to handle the procedures for going to Korea.

Although I heard on August 1 that Brother Yongyuan was in a state of brain death, in the days that followed, I still prayed for a miracle every day, hoping that he would wake up. At the same time, I couldn't help but recall the moments I spent with Brother Yongyuan.
