## Description
|
||
|
||
Kotori was fond of mathematics and physics.
|
||
She enrolled in the Department of Physics at the School of Physical Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in the fall of 2017.
|
||
|
||
Her old account was “Partial Differential”, with an avatar depicting the character `∂`,
|
||
which was a stylized cursive `d’ mainly used as a mathematical symbol, usually to denote a partial derivative such as `∂z/∂x`.
|
||
|
||
Kotori was an introverted girl. She rarely engaged in conversations with others or shared her viewpoints in public.
|
||
However, she was enthusiastic about academic inquiries and always actively participated in discussions, occasionally expressing appreciation for her friends’ excellent ideas.
|
||
She frequently deleted her responses on Zhihu or made them anonymous.
|
||
Nonetheless, we can still find many of her insightful answers, continuing to reflect her brilliance.
|
||
|
||
She immersed herself in her favourite subjects and achieved the following:
|
||
“*Scientia et studium quaestio et cogitatio*”, which means rich in knowledge and tenacious of purposes, inquiring with earnestness and reflecting with self-practice.
|
||
|
||
Kotori had another well-known nickname, “Truth-seeking Salted Fish”.
|
||
But considering her ability, it might be more appropriate to call her a truth-seeking whale in the ocean.
|
||
|
||
She could be considered a genius in mathematics and physics.
|
||
Maybe she could’ve made significant contributions to the field of theoretical physics...
|
||
|
||
But as the saying goes, “The talented die young”.
|
||
|
||
## Departure
|
||
|
||
Kotori struggled with depression and gender dysphoria, which negatively impacted her mental health.
|
||
She attempted to take her own life but was rescued.
|
||
|
||
After consulting numerous references to ascertain the lethal dose of the drug,
|
||
she ended her life on the morning of September 24th, 2019.
|
||
|
||
After that, her friends tried to contact the local police and USTC management.
|
||
However, it was too late.
|
||
|
||
## Memorial
|
||
|
||
Under the Zhihu question [What are your thoughts about Zhihu user @Cheng-pei-qi-52](https://www.zhihu.com/question/347747351) and related obituaries, many friends of Kotori expressed their sadness and regret at her passing.

|
||
|
||
Her friends continued to long for her presence.
|
||
Even the very sight of the character `∂` filled them with deep sorrow.
|
||
|
||
Countless friendships and tales of acquaintance had now become mere fragments of the past...
|
||
|
||
> Goodbye, world.
|
||

|
||
> No, never say goodbye.

|
||
|
||
Goodbye, Kotori, but we will never say goodbye.
|
||
|
||
You will live on in our hearts.
|
||
|
||
<!-- May her memory be eternal -->
