Feng, the late Chief of the Sports Medicine Service at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital; and Dr. Hung-maan Lee, the Counselor General of Hualien, Tzu Chi Medical Center and honorary president of the Taiwan Sports Medicine Association. He visited China very often over the past 20 years, for teaching, mentoring, and nurturing young Chinese scholars to present and perform in various international platforms and sincerely encouraged the growth and progress of young doctors.

With his great passion and enthusiasm for the orthopaedic field, he improved the academic level of Chinese sports medicine and strengthened the connections between Chinese doctors and the rest of the world. With the combined efforts from him and other local doctors, Chinese doctors have obtained many learning opportunities to excel and shine on the international academic platform and allow the world to see the Chinese talents. In addition, he introduced ISAKOS, an international society of Sports Medicine, into China and paid an extremely important role in the tremendous success of the ISAKOS Biennial Congress in Shanghai in 2017.

Dr. Freddie Fu was also a wise man of life. As we grieve, we also remember his passion for life, sports, arts, and food, his love for his wife and family, his humility, enthusiasm, compassion to his patients, and friendship toward his friends, students, and colleagues.

We are honored and pride ourselves in the identity of FFF, because Dr. Freddie Fu was and will always be our friend. He was a noble man, but affable. He set the bar high for his colleagues in academic work, but he was never rude or harsh. He always did his best to support his students. He revised the slides for the conferences with his fellows and he took the time to instruct young doctors on their research papers. Dr. Fu was also like a father taking care of the fellows from China. He treated the fellows to different Chinese restaurants in Pittsburgh, invited Chinese fellows to the Chinese New Year banquet, and picked the fellows up from the workplace during the snowy weather in cold winter. Every Chinese fellow will also remember the thrilling moment during the ACL meeting, the sweet moment when sharing the special noodle, and the exciting moment when watching football and basketball with him. Even when these Chinese fellows returned to China, his care and attention did not stop. Once, when he knew one of his fellows had received an operation for visual correction, he immediately called this fellow in between his busy operation with video chat. He spared no effort to assist fellows to return home to visit relatives during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also advised and guided the Chinese students on their research papers without reservation. What he showed us were his sincerity to work, generosity to people, and humanity to life.

Dr. Freddie Fu was a mentor, a friend, and a brother of our Chinese sports medicine world. He enlightened us with his wisdom, enthusiasm, and faith. Autumn comes gradually, and the drizzle never stops. The first
