It should be August 7th, which was just reported in the news this morning.

By all accounts, it should be true.

I have a blog post by Professor Dai Shiqiang, which says.

Bad news: our beloved old principal Mr. Qian Weichang has passed away! He passed away peacefully this morning at the age of ninety-seven.

The message is true. I just got confirmation from Dr. Xu Xu, Assistant to the Principal.

Another great man of science and technology is gone, the last of the "three coins". He went to Heaven to be reunited with his brothers!

I was overwhelmed to learn of this sudden bad news! I thought that Mr. Qian would live to be 100 years old, and even started planning the 2012 ICNM-VI to celebrate his 100th birthday with his friends and students, but now, all this has come to naught!

The passing away of Mr. Qian Weichang is a huge loss to China's scientific and technological undertakings, and it is also a major loss that our university cannot make up! It is the biggest pain for our students' juniors!

However, he left us with a precious spiritual legacy. His legendary life is our best textbook; His patriotism, dedication, selflessness and fearlessness, the concept of seeking truth and pragmatism, the concept of innovation, and the courage to act and be frank and unrestrained in life are our eternal models!

The best action for us to mourn him is to live like him, fight like him, redouble our efforts to do our own work, and contribute all our strength to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
