     惊闻噩耗！痛惜中国心理学界巨星陨落！

     从1978年投身心理学以来就一直感受先生的大家风范，并深受先生影响。先生音容笑貌，依然历历在目。9月11日，先生还在常务理事会上，给每位与会者送上先生与小兰共同主编的，《心?坐标——当代心理学大家》一书，并一一签名，亲切而从容。先生也特别提到这部分三本陆续出版的这套介绍心理学大家学术生涯和学术历程和成就的著作，对年轻人学习心理学会很有好处，不想转瞬先生竟已永远离开我们，再没有机会得到先生当面教诲，不禁潸然泪下，痛心万分。

     先生是中国心理学的一座丰碑。中国心理学有今天的国内国际地位，先生的功绩都是开创和奠基性的。他和老一辈心理学家的不懈努力，为中国心理学成为一个在国内有地位，在国际上有发言权的学科，使得我们心理学后生根本摆脱了睁大眼睛听别人言说的时代，有机会直接冲击世界心理学前沿。为此，我们心理学后生的整个生涯实际上都受益于先生为中国心理学所做的无私开拓与奉献。愿中国心理学在我们的努力下不断在国内重大问题解决上发挥作用，逐步以自身的学科水平的提高而在国际心理学领域取得更大发言权，以告慰先生在天之灵！

     先生，我们会永远记住您的风采与功绩！您虽已离去，却会永远活在我们心中！

     惊悉荆其诚教授因突发心脏病，抢救无效而不幸逝世，心中非常悲痛。昨天上午9点20分，在北师大英东楼学术会堂二楼会场中我见到了荆先生，当时他和往常一样，和大家热情招呼，握手寒暄，精神显得很好。没想到，仅仅一个多小时候后，竟发生了这样不幸的事情，让人真的很难接受。
     荆其诚先生是中国心理学会的杰出领导人，中国心理学家的优秀代表，也是国际心联中最有影响力的一位中国心理学家，对推动中国心理学的蓬勃发展，使中国心理学走向世界做出了突出贡献。荆先生的逝世是中国心理学界的一个巨大损失。
     荆先生是我的良师益友。在上个世纪五十年代末，我就认识了荆其诚先生，那时我刚从北师大毕业，而荆其诚先生已经是国内研究知觉心理学的一位崭露头角的年轻心理学家，在我们心中享有很高的威望。1963年，我写成了“双眼辐合方向对视觉垂直判断的影响”一文，投给了心理学报。很快，我就收到了荆其诚先生的答复，他一方面肯定了我的研究的意义，同时又建议我追加一个实验，说明基本实验中没有回答清楚的问题。我遵照他的意见进行了补充和修改，不久论文发表了，这是我在心理学研究中的一篇处女作，它的成功发表是和荆先生的指导分不开的。荆先生教给我们在设计实验时，在基本实验完成后，可以跟进一些实验，进一步说明自己所要探讨的问题，这种设计思路以后一直成为我指导研究生的一条重要经验。
     文革后，荆先生比我早几天去美国访问。他去了密西根大学，我去了哥伦比亚大学。荆先生从小在香港长大，英语非常熟练，认识美国心理学界很多著名的学者，而我是第一次出国，刚到美国，人生地不熟的，困难比较多。为了帮助我尽快熟悉那边的环境，他主动安排我去密西根大学访问，参观实验室，认识了许多美国著名的心理学家。他还带领我访问了麻省理工大学和哈佛大学。在哈佛大学，我们有幸见到了新行为主义的创始人，美国著名心理学家斯金纳，参观了他的实验室，并与他合影留念。哈佛大学教育学院还为我们安排了一场演讲，演讲题目是，新中国的教育体制和教育质量。我请荆先生主讲，荆先生为了让我得到锻炼，坚持让我主讲，他当翻译。这样我们上演了一场不错的双簧。据说那次演讲的反应不错，其实功劳主要是荆先生的。
     在哥伦比亚大学心理学系，我跟随Hochberg教授研究似动现象。一年后，研究虽取得了一些进展，但存在的困难比较多。为了让我获得更开阔的学术事业，掌握更多的研究手段，荆先生又把我介绍给他的一位美国朋友，生理心理学的奠基人John Stern教授。Stern当时是ST Louis华盛顿大学心理系的系主任。1981年3月，我在荆先生的帮助下来到华盛顿大学。由于荆先生的介绍，Stern对我很好，我们很快就成了非常要好的朋友。在华盛顿大学3个多月的访问中，我们共同完成了一个双语的眼动研究项目。以后这项研究结果发表在1983年的巴甫洛夫生理学杂志上，这是我的第一篇用英文发表的心理学研究报告。而这篇报告也是在荆先生的帮助下才得以产生的。
     从美国回来后，我继续得到荆先生无私的帮助。1993年，荆先生以国际心联副主席的身份支持我们召开了汉语信息加工国际研讨会，主编了《Information Processing of the Chinese Language》一书，并为该书写了绪言。1997年北京师范大学成立《认知神经科学研究中心》，荆其诚先生亲自到会祝贺，做了热情洋溢的讲话。荆先生的鼓励对发展我国的认知神经科学也起了巨大的作用。我的许多学生的博士论文都得到过荆先生的帮助，他的严谨治学精神和对学生的严格要求，使学生受益非浅。我在学术上遇到的一些问题，只要问到荆先生，他总是有求必应。
     荆先生离开了我们，但荆先生的事业将永远活在我们心中，他对工作的高度负责精神，对后学者的无私帮助和严格要求，将永远激励我们更好的前进。
     荆先生安息吧！我们将永远怀念您！

[苏幕遮]悼荆其诚师

王登峰

     2008年9月27日，戊子八月廿九，噩耗传来，荆师其诚仙逝。泪眼婆娑，遂成苏幕遮。
     君仙去，仲尼啼[1]。神舟飞坠[2]，麒麟入林丛[3]。江河呜咽霜雪浓。天人相隔，怅然两茫茫。
     擎巨旗，绘宏图。恍若昨晨，纶巾儒雅容。化作北斗照心路[4]。身后诸君，何处觅恩宠[5]？

注：
1．先生忌日，竟是圣人生日。古人云天无二日，圣人亦难同行，圣贤如夫子者，也难以与先生同辉。
2．是日神舟七号巡天归来，敢是为先生探路？
3．圣人出，麒麟现。先生登极乐，中国心理学如沐严冬，连盛世麒麟也躲进了林丛。
4．先生虽去，但高风亮节会指引中国心理学，激励后辈披肝沥胆，努力前行。
5．可惜的是，再也无法听取先生教诲、提携……

     惊悉荆其诚教授去世，我们西南大学同仁感到非常悲痛。荆先生是我国杰出的心理学家，也是我们西南大学的客座教授，他的逝世是我国心理学界的重大损失，也是我们西南大学的重大损失。我们一定化悲痛为力量，继续发扬勤奋、严谨、创新、求实的学风，把我校的心理学事业建设好，为祖国争光。
     请代向荆先生的家属表示我们的慰问。

     惊悉荆其诚老师逝世，不胜哀悼。这是中国心理学的巨大损失。我也曾受过先生的教诲，并且他还是我博士论文答辩的主持人，算是先生的一个编外弟子吧。值此心理学界沉痛哀悼之日，向你表示慰问，并转达对先生家人的慰问。同时，我写了一幅挽联，如果你觉得可以，就以学生们的名义，如果以为不妥，就以我个人的名义，算是对先生的一份追思吧！
     上联：修道修教开民智六十载沧海桑田；
     下联：立心立命继绝学三十年泰山北斗。
     注：《中庸》中有“率性之谓道，修道之谓教"之语；北宋哲学家张载有“为天地立心，为生民立命，为往圣继绝学，为万世开太平”之语。通过先生们的努力，今日的心理学已经不能和过去同日而语。先生本人的人品和学问是学界的典范。

     惊悉 荆其诚先生 不幸逝世，甚感突然。荆先生是我国杰出的心理学家，他的一生为心理 学的发展做出了巨大的贡献。他的逝世是我国心理学界重大的损失。我们深表沉痛哀悼！ 谨向荆其诚先生家属表示亲切的慰问！

     惊悉噩耗，万分痛惜！宏论卓见，赐卷留墨，音容犹昨，今成绝幕。巨星陨落，学界悲恸!先生安息,家人节哀,后辈自励!
     荆其诚先生千古!

     惊悉荆其诚先生不幸去世，令我们十分惊愕和悲痛!值到此刻，我们仍不敢相信这个噩耗。
荆先生是我们的老师和楷模，他对心理所和我国心理学界的贡献是巨大的。我们为失去这样的良师而悲痛，更为中国心理学界失去了一位大师而惋惜！
     请代向汪兴安老师表示我们衷心的慰问，请她节哀，并多多保重。

     惊闻先生去世，心情十分沉痛,无疑我们中国心理学界失去一位泰斗，我正在美国访问，现已委托我们陕西省心理学会发去唁电，并在此已我个人名义特向荆老的不幸逝世表示沉重哀悼。
     安息吧，荆先生！

     请允许我本人，并代表清华大学心理学与认知科学中心向荆先生的不幸去世表示哀悼！愿荆先生的在天之灵安息！请代为向荆先生的家属致哀！

     惊悉今日得知前天（二另另八年九月二十八日午后刚过），敬爱的恩师荆其诚先生突然发病，过早地离开了我们。七十年代中，我们在老师的指导下步入了改革的新生事物，并成长为我国的颜色知觉研究不断进取的先锋。而在我国心理学界的飞速发展中，荆其诚老师又成为国际心理学举足轻重的成员，得到国际奖项和名誉，并成为发展中国家科学院院士中第一位心理学家，在我国和国际科学界有着深远的影响。我们要继承荆其诚老师的优良传统，为发光大我们的心理学事业，牢记荆老师为人师表，德高望重和学术研的风格与情操，永远牢记心中。

     获悉我们敬重的荆其诚先生，因突发心脏病，不幸去世，深感悲痛。荆其诚先生的去世， 是我国心理学界非常重大的损失。
     远在美国University of Kentucky 的郭春彦，向心理所领导、同仁、及其家属表示慰问 。追忆荆其诚先生，我最早遇见先生是在我的恩师郝德元教授家中，至今已有20多年了，但 先生和蔼可亲的面容至今给我留下深刻的印象。之后从郝先生那里逐渐了解了先生的人生及学 术研究轨迹，对先生更加崇敬。在以后的时间里，因首都师范大学心理系的公事又多次拜访先 生，聆听先生的教诲，受益匪浅。对先生的深刻理解是我师从朱滢教授攻读博士期间，朱老师 郑重的对我说，荆其诚先生是对中国心理学界贡献最大的人，他的贡献就在于将中国心理学推 向了世界，使中国心理学成为世界心理学领域中的重要力量。这在此后由我国成功举办的世界 心理学大会得到了验证。所有等等…….。使我对先生有了更深刻、更全面的认识。
     追忆先生、缅怀先生，先生一生为心理学界留下的宝贵遗产，将是我们后辈的财富。
     荆其诚先生永远活在我们心中！

     荆老师的突然去世，我们感到无比的悲痛。他是我国心理学事业的卓越的不倦的开拓者，掌门人。他为心理学事业一直战斗到生命的最后一刻，他永远是我们学习的楷模，荆老师永远活在我们的心中！

     获悉荆其诚先生不幸逝世，不胜震惊。谨向您并通过您向荆先生的夫人及亲属表示衷心的慰问！想起今年3月2日在您的安排下陪同日本心理学会前理事长东洋先生，拜会荆其诚先生，荆先生谈笑风生的情景至今历历在目。荆先生关心晚辈的成长，爱护青年学生的发展，特别是ICP2004期间对我以及我的学生们的关爱以及工作的肯定，令晚辈终生难忘。我等晚辈一定不辜负荆先生的期望，将以更加严谨而勤奋的精神为心理学服务社会与人类福祉做出贡献！
     荆先生不仅是中国最著名的心理学前辈，也是被誉为世界级的杰出心理学家，荆先生的一生不仅为中国心理学的发展做出了巨大的贡献，也为中国心理学界与世界心理学界架起了牢固而成功的桥梁。荆先生的逝世是中国心理学界的巨大的损失，也是国际心理学界的巨大的损失！
     祈愿荆其诚先生冥福！

     荆先生驾鹤西去，对于中国心理学真是个天大的噩耗。
     后学晚辈，没有资格评述先生，但是14年前第一次见到先生，听他为申办国际心理学大会所作的一切，便肃然起敬。
     中国心理学的繁荣，先生是旗手；
     中国心理学走向世界，先生是桥梁；
     缅怀先生，唯有更加努力！

     荆其诚先生在中国心理学的恢复与发展中成绩卓著，特别是在提升中国心理学的国际影响力方面，堪称中国心理学家的最杰出代表。对于他的不幸去世，表示沉痛悼念！

     9月28日下午从医院回来，一直觉得心里压着什么，断断续续地写了下面的文字，慢慢地发泄着内心的悲伤：
     参加张厚粲先生从教60周年庆典暨心理学“心理学的传承与发展”学术研讨会和荆老师打招呼，他问我给我的书签的名字没有问题了吧（前几天在常务理事会上，我请荆老师在给我的书上签名，把我的“彦”写成了“燕”，本来我说改一下就行了，荆先生却重新签了一本特意让张真带给我）。就是个把小时，再见到先生的时候就是在医院的急诊室里了，接下来的事情一直像在梦里，不愿意相信是真的，不愿意相信我就不能在各种场合听先生讲心理学的古今中外了……
     想起和先生一起办2004年国际心理学大会的一幕一幕，就好像是昨天发生的事情。作为大会主席，荆老师要操心的事情很多，但先生一直非常看重科学委员会负责的各种形式的学术报告的组织工作，我和我的学生张真负责邀请研讨会的组织和协调工作，自然压力不小。但从邀请组织者到签署邀请信，事无巨细，只要我们有问题，先生立刻就会着手和我们讨论或者帮我们协调，让我们丝毫不敢懈怠。筹办会议的那几年，虽然很累，但我学到的一直让我受用至今……
     和荆老师熟悉是从学生时代就开始了。我们上研究生的的时候，荆老师给我们开心理学研究进展一课。我的博士论文开题和答辩也都有荆先生在场。我现在常常在其他博士生开题时讲，每个博士生开题时都想做很多东西，我那时也一样。记得开题时，洋洋洒洒地讲了一个多小时，设计中要做的事情包括三个部分，讲完宏伟设想，荆老师说了一句话，把后两部分去掉，专心做第一部分，深入下去。这一点也成了我现在在我的博士生开题时最常讲的话。
     就在9月12日常务理事会中午吃饭的时候，荆老师刚给我布置了一个任务，为他翻译的巴甫洛夫的著作再版和先生一起写一个导读。还记得先生讲了当时的一些情况，解放初期心理学界学习巴甫洛夫条件反射，参与这本书翻译的老师……但那天中午时间很紧张，我拿着荆老师给我的参考书单，还在计划，趁着这次机会，可以好好跟着先生学习回味这些历史了，没有想到……
     还有好多好多的回忆，一下子没法很好地组织表达出来，每每想起这些事情的时候，就像先生还在一样。在我们的心里，先生永远和我们在一起……

     沉痛哀悼荆先生, 荆先生对中国心理学的贡献是巨大和永恒的.

     惊悉荆其诚先生因病去世，痛心至极！
     2001年走进心理研究所，作为一名学生，聆听了先生关于中国心理学发展历程的报告，感受了先生身在中国放眼世界的胸怀；2008年在北京大学心理学系建系30周年庆典上，先生用他生动而真挚的语言，把一幅中国心理学高端强强联合的画卷徐徐展现在听者面前，让晚辈着实佩服中国心理学前辈的大家风范。
     如今，先生的教诲，余音在耳；先生的笑貌，尚存脑际；先生，竟然驾鹤西去！晚辈，怎能不悲伤？！悲伤之后，晚辈，怎敢不奋起？！
     先生，请您安息！

     惊悉荆其诚教授仙逝，万分悲痛。先生架起中、外现代心理学研究间的桥梁，开辟中国现代心理学研究之先河，功不可末，后人永世不忘。先生走好, 荆先生对中国心理学的贡献是巨大和永恒的.

     沉痛悼念荆其诚教授！

     I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of Internationally Distinguished Professor Jing Qi-Cheng. I know how difficult this must be for our psychologists and his family in China. As one of his students, I took a psychology course which he taught in English in 1986. That was my first English-taught psychology course I had at Beijing Normal University and in Chinese Academy of Science in China. He was an excellent teacher, mentor, researcher, administrator, and social activist. He was a great role model for us indeed. He passed away, and his psychological and social legacy stays with us forever. Below is my Chinese poem in memory of Distinguished Professor Jing:
     悼念中国心理学大师荆其诚先生
     戊子季秋失大师，
     学人弟子悲痛时；
     心理教研六六载，
     德高望重山仰止！

    荆先生的离去是中国心理学界的巨大损失,沉痛悼念荆其诚教授！

     我代表生物物理研究所脑与认知科学研究中心的全体同仁，沉痛悼念荆其诚教授，并希望他的家人节哀、保重！

     惊悉中国科学院心理研究所前任所长，我国著名心理学家荆其诚老先生不幸病逝，闻此噩耗，深感悲恸。
     本人曾经就心理学史的诸多问题写信求教过荆老先生，并很快得到了荆老先生热情洋溢的回信，想来这已经是十八年之前的事了。现在翻看荆老的来信，更加体味到了这位受人爱戴的老心理学家对于后学的鼓励之情。我自己曾经就读于陈泽川教授门下，从陈师口中了解到荆先生的为学和做人的一些事迹，当年曾经试图在硕士毕业之后去攻读荆先生的博士，故去信询问。但是上个世纪九十年代初的下海热潮，让我们这辈年轻人被经济的迷雾所遮蔽，无法看清自己真正的志向和未来，为了五斗米的世俗生活而停止了即刻的继续深造，转去谋得了一个可以换来微薄工资的国家职位，自此便没有再和荆先生保持联系，失去了求教于老先生门下的机会。后来再度迷途知返，继续求学，那已经是无法凝神于心理学了，七转八转地转入社会学和人类学。不过，荆先生的信我还一直保留着，他的教诲我还记忆着，这些都成为继续努力的驱动力。并且最为重要的是，我还在关注着心理学新的发展，希望这些发展可以有助于中国的社会学和人类学的自我提升。
     后来到了北京，多次有机会去北沙滩的心理所，本着想去拜见一下荆老先生，但是都因为各种的原因而失之交臂，现在由于老先生这样突然地离开而成为自己一个终生的遗憾。我想，荆老堪称是中国改革开放以后心理学的一位旗手，在他的积极倡导之下，实验心理学这门西方“硬”的科学在中国着实地扎下了根，并结出了一些硕果，遍布海内外以及各领域的新一代中国心理学家的成长就足以说明了这一点，而这些人中又有哪些人不知道荆先生的大名呢？又有谁没有读过老先生的文章和著作呢？
     老先生的离去对于我们国家的心理学的发展而言是一个损失！对国际的心理学也是一个损失！在这里谨以我个人的名义再次向荆老先生的家人、学生以及同事表达我最为诚挚的哀悼。愿老先生一路走好！

     惊悉荆其诚先生逝世，表示沉痛的哀悼，并请代向其亲属表示慰问。

    I am very sad to hear the sudden passing of Prof. Jing. It was a huge loss for the field of psychology, both in China and around the world, a loss for Prof. Wang and family, and a loss of a mentor and friend to me personally. Prof. Jing supervised my Masters of Psychology thesis at the Institute of Psychology. He continued to provide his wisdom and support when I was studying at the University of Michigan and teaching at Indiana University. Along with his close friend and colleague Prof. Houcan Zhang, they opened the "Chinese Psychology" door to the world. He symbolized the new generation of psychologists in China. He elevated the psychological science in China to a higher level. Much more importantly to me, he was a great mentor, a father figure, and a dear friend. I am forever indebted to Prof. Jing. His legacy will live on in eternity.

     惊悉噩耗，非常震惊，不胜悲痛。我对荆其诚先生的逝世致以沉痛的哀悼，并向荆先生的家属表示深切慰问！

   Thank you so much for letting me know about the sad and sudden death of Professor Jing Qicheng. As a tribute to him, which I should like to record here with your help, one can only say that the minute on meeting him one got the immediate feeling of not only meeting an outstanding Psychologist but an exceptionally warm human being, making one to feel that one has already known him for years. I can remember being introduced to him for the first time by Jimmy Chan almost half a century ago,and found on that occasion, and several ones since, that one could discuss with him with pleasure not only various aspects of Psychology (including criminological applications) but any other topical subject of the day, and note his wide grasp and interest in the way the world around us was shaping.The only consoling factor about his sad passing is that one must envy him the way he died so unexpectedly in the middle of a long career which for him was only a part of a long and famous life, and our heartfelt sympathy at this moment,also of my wife Ann, goes out to his wife and family , colleagues and firiends. Regretfully we will not be able to attend his funeral since still tied up temporarily in England, Spain, and Sydney but our thoughts will be with him then in Hong Kong and mainland China.

   My warmest condolences to the family of Professor Jing!

   It is indeed sad to hear the bad news that Professor Jing Qicheng has passed away. I still remember the scenes vividly with him at the last international psychologists congress in Beijing four years ago in 2004 though I have known him for a long time in Hong Kong, Beijing, and other cities at various meetings and conferences and particularly well since I was President of the Hong Kong Psychological Society in the year 19 93 - 1994. His work and devotion to psychology in China and indeed worldwide has been tremendous, and no doubt he will be well remembered by his colleagues and friends all over the world. I know his wife Duan Huang also. In the meantime, my wife and I would express our sincere condolences to his family. Our spirit will be with them at the funeral services day after tomorrow on Wednesday, October 8, 2008, though we are unable to attend. I have to say that I feel very proud to be associated with him during his lifetime.

国际心理科学联合会慰问信函

Dear Professor Wang, dear Family of Professor Jing:
   It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of our highly esteemed colleague, Professor Jing. On behalf of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and all its representatives, I want to convey our heartfelt condolences to you.
   Professor Jing was a tremendously creative and influential psychological researcher and was a mentor for many of the younger generation. His dedication to science as a means to increase our knowledge about human behaviour and to improve the life of human beings was exceptional. Always interested in new insights, he communicated with scientists around the world and impressed us all tremendously with the humanistic orientation and philosophical foundation of his thinking.
   I met Professor Jing for the first time in the early 1980s in China, and without any exaggeration I can say that he was the key to my beginning to understand societal and scientific development in China. Ever since this meeting, which is almost 30 years ago now, I was impressed by his wisdom and willingness to further international cooperation, especially through the establishment of close relations with the younger generation of Chinese psychologists. His support in this regard will be sorely missed. The fact that China plays such a strong role in IUPsyS is owed to his early inspiration.
   Once again, may I say how much we will all feel the loss of such a great scientist, and that our deepest sympathies go out to you at this difficult time. The Union will keep his memory in the highest regard.

    I deeply regret the passing away of Dr. Jing. He did a great work for having your country in the international psychological arena. My condoleances to your scientific community.

     I am very sad hearing this news. He was a perfect host during my visits in China in 1987 and 1988. He was also exactly my age. We are so vulnerable.

     I feel a deep personal loss. We first met in 1979, and maintained a warm friendshp for almost three decades. I can only imagine the loss felt by his family, his colleagues at the Institute, and those feelings are shared by thousands of psychologists not only in China, but throughout the international psychology community.
     I cannot think of any psychologist who has been as pivotal in development of psychology in his own country as Professor Jing, and he made important contributions to international psychology as well. His passing will be mourned, but his impact will be lasting.

     What a terrible loss. At lunch in april he looked hale and hearty; he even rode his bicycle to the restaurant! his death comes as a great surprise to all of us. please share my condolences with his family and colleagues.

     I am inter-State, and have been for over a week now, and have just accessed your email with its very, very sad news.Professor Jing was one of the world's most thorough gentlemen. Please convey IAAP's official and my personal deepest condolences to all concerned at his grievous passing away.
     In saddest sorrow.

      I am very sorry to hear these news. I have gotten to know Professor Jing as an enormously generous and knowledgeable professor. I hear these news while I am in Asia and I know how much Chinese psychology owes to Professor Jing.
     Please accept my condolences.

To Professor Jing Qicheng in Deep Friendship
Kurt and Denise Pawlik
   I am deeply saddened by the death of Professor Jing. I have lost in him a great colleague and marvellous friend. I feel honored to express my deep respect of thim as a scientist and may condolences to his wife Professor Wang and his family. I had the privilege to know and work with Professor Jing for close to thirty years, in research and publications, in many conferences and in international exchange. In this long-lasting cooperation his wisdom and clarity of thinking always impressed me and the deep friendship with him became most dear to me.
   Professor Jing Qicheng's lasting contributions in research, to the development of psychological science and of international cooperation in psychology award him a place of honor in the world history of psychology. His key role in the development of psychology in China over the last thirty years was unique in far-sightedness and success. This development has become widely recognized in its model status. He received many awards of honor, among them the election to the Vice-Presidency of the International Union of Psychological Science and the membership in the Third-World Academy of Sciences. The psychological world has lost in Professor Jing one of its outstanding representatives. His life achievement and scientific heritage will keep his name unforgettable.

   Indeed -- those of us who knew him in his first trip to U of M in 1979 were astonished at the time at his extraordinary knowledge of our cultural practices (both daily life and academic, including nuanced understanding of colloquisms). It wasn't just language, though he was schooled in English as a young child and was certainly fluent in every sense; but it was much more than that. And then he was the critical bridge for so many U.S. psychologists, U of M and many others, in connecting with China long before its opening up to its now quite cosmopolitan academic world. He was simply a truly amazing person.

   Q.C. Jing was one of the world's most eminent psychologists and hosted the last International Congress of Psychology.
   Professor Jing was the first psychologist to be allowed to leave Peking after the gang of four period and came to Michigan. By the end of his year here he knew more about Ameerican psychology than we did.

   This is truly sad news. Professor Jing was an important psychologist who played a crucial role in establishing links between psychologists in China and the U.S. Because of his visit to the U.S. in 1979 many Michigan psychologists were able to set up collaborative research arrangements years before those would have occurred in the normal course of events. Many important research projects were carried out through his help and intervention, which I suspect he was uniquely able to provide.I believe that everyone who knew Jing at felt privileged to do so. In addition to being brilliant he was an extraordinarily kind, decent and wise human being.

   Professor Jing was the first Chinese psychologist to be able to visit the US after the cultural revolution and he came to Michigan for an entire year after addressing the APA in 1979. He developed a close friendship with Harold Stevenson and many others here. In addition, the Jing-Stevenson collaboration facilitated many international collaborations, students, and many people's careers. I, personally, have both of them to thank for being able to focus my research on China and I know that many other people's research and lives would not have been the same were it not for their guiding hands and sage advice.

   I find the news of Prof.Jing very sad.He was often our guest when in Ann Arbor for his first visit and was very kind to us when I was at the Institute in China.He was a heavy smoker and one evening at our home he expressed the view that the US was spreading rumors here about cancer from smoking to have exploit the Asia markets.How that worked I couldn't understand but anything is possible.

   It was with great sadness that I received today the notice that Professor Jing is dead. Professor Jing and I served many years together in the Executive Committee of the International Union of Psychological Science and we were both vice-presidents of the union at the same time. It was always a pleasure to work together with Professor Jing. In connection with trips to Beijing, Professor Jing and I became good personal friends. I was invited to his home once and I very much enjoyed meeting with his wife and son at this occasion. Professor Jing visited me and my family once in our home in Stockholm.
   The deepest condolences from me and my wife Gun.

     We too are shocked and wish we could be with you. Please let us know how we can offer our deep sentiments of admiration, affection and sorrow. It is hard for me to ponder the idea that Jing will not be present to welcome me when I next am in China.
     Please let Jing's wife and family know how much we wish we could be with you in this time of grief.
     I do wish that I had been in Beijing this past week. it is hard for me to put in words how much I will miss Jing, so grand a mind, so talented a scientist, so wonderful a teacher to me about China, and a truly close friend. The word irreplaceable is indeed called for at this time.
     Our deepest affection.

   I am so, so sad to learn of the loss of Professor Jing--one of the most remarkable people I have ever known. Please keep me informed of arrangements and any steps I can take to contribute to his memory.
   I am so sorry for you, his family and friends in China at your loss.

   With great sadness I heard this startling news that Prof. Jing passed With great sadness I heard this startling news that Prof. Jing passed an extraordinary loss for all psychologists. It was him who helped to develop psychology in China after years of darkness with his deep personal engagement. I will not forget his openminded kindliness and widespred knowledge.
   Please express my condolences to Prof. Jings family.
   With warm regards

   I just heard about Jing's death over the weekend. I send my deep condolences. His death is a loss for chinese psychology and the Institute of course, but I know he was a very important figure in your life as well--past and present.
My sympathies to you and your colleagues.

     I am saddened by the news of the passing of Professor Jing Qicheng, a long long-time colleague, friend and respected leader of psychology on a national and international scale. Professor Jing made impressive contribution to the development of new psychology in China since the late seventies, and he offered major leadership in promoting and integrating psychological research and technology between the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. We worked together on many occasions at the IUPS as well as the IAAP congresses spanning a period of 16 years on issues surrounding the subject of psychology and national development in the developing countries. I have fond memories of Prof. Jing’s warmth, wisdom and friendship since I first met in 1980, over a quarter of a century ago, when Hong Kong psychologist made their first contact with psychology in the Mainland.
     I send my condolences to the families of Professor Jing and the members of the Institute of Psychology.

    I was deeply shocked by the sudden death of Professor Quicheng Jing. My wife and I send our deepest sympathy to you all.
    It is a great loss of not only Chinese psychology, but also international psychological community. He greatly contributed the development of Chinese psychology, especially its internationalization. The great success of the 2004 International Congress of Psychology in Beijing should be largely due to him.
    I also deeply appreciate him in development of intimate friendships between China and Japan through psychology and personal friendships between him and us nearly 30 years since Leipzig International Congress of Psychology.

     At the telephone from Dr. Zhang Rishen about the sudden passing away of Professor Jing, a world reknowned psycologist, a long time leader and navigator of Asian psychology, and a sympathetic friend of many Japanese psychologists, I do not know how to express my deep sorrow.
     My friendship with Professor Jing has continued for close to 30 years since we have worked together as board members of International Union of Psychological Science. As only represemtatives from Asia, we shared opinions and positions at many issues. His brightness, maturity and far- sightedness was a good guide for me and attracted respect and friendship of all deligates. He has visited Japan a number of times, gave lectures and talks at our conventions and meetings impressing Japanese psychologists with his scholarship and friendxhip.
     I am sure that his path will lead Chinese, Japanese and World psychologists for many years to come. I will dedicate in mouning my English translation of a short poem "haiku", compsed by ancient master Basho in memory of his close company. I first translated it for Dr. Harold Stevenson who was an enthusiastic friend of both Professor Jing and myself.
     Move, You grave mound, As I cry in the hissing sound Of the Autumn wind.

    It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing away of Prof. Qicheng Jing. I met Prof. Jing at an IUPsyS meeting many years ago and had been good friends since then. His contribution to international psychology is immense and, especially, bringing Chinese psychology to the rest of the world. Prof. Jing’s untimely departure is a great loss to us.

   It is with much sadness that we hear of the passing away of Prof Jing. But it is with great fondness that we recall his pleasant demeanour that was always urbane, knowledgeable, wise and personable. His loss is shared around the world with a pride that he contributed so much to all of us. My daughter Oneida (who he met on 13 April this year) and son Athisten (who he met in July 2000) are especially sorrowful and wish me to express their sterling memories of being with someone like him. Know that his loss to you is a gain in remembrance for the rest of us.
   Strength and sincere condolences
