This announcement came as a saddening shock. I had known Professor Lu Xueyi from one of my first visits to China, in the 1980s. His work as a sociologist of China was adventurous and pioneering. I learned much from him and am most grateful for his courteous and always helpful greetings and discussions. I shall miss him.

這是一個令人悲傷的震驚的噩耗。我在二十世紀八十年代最初訪問中國時就結識了陸學藝教授。作為一位中國社會學家，他的著作是開拓性的和開創(chuàng)性的。我從他那里學到了很多東西。我非常感謝他的禮貌和多次的問候及其有助的討論。我會想念他的。
