  Ye Shiwen wrote on social media:

  I have been expecting a miracle to happen, and I feel that one day you will recover and you will reappear with us.

  You taught me to grow up, took me to the highest podium, and accompanied me at every important moment in my life.

  You also taught us to be strong, focused, and never give up. Under your cultivation, we have all become better people.

  In the future, you cannot accompany me and protect me, but no matter the highlight or the darkest moment, you are always the brightest light in my heart, guiding me to move forward!

  Father Xu, I will always love you and always miss you.

  Xu Jiayu said: "I had a dream last night. In the dream, I was so tired. I cried with Coach Lou and told me that I couldn't practice. Coach Lou was still comforting me gently.

  When I woke up from exhaustion, I saw the message from Coach Lou. I sat on the bed, empty and without my backbone, my memories came out one after another. From the first time I saw you being open, upright, and stern in awe, to the sadness of seeing you teach you by the side of the pool this year, I only felt sad in my heart.

  The news of this week has disturbed me a long time ago, and I still don't want to believe that the bad news came like this.

  Director Xu is at ease, your expectations of students, students clearly remember that you told me on the hospital bed when Gwangju re-elected, this is nothing, Tokyo is your stage. Xu Dao walks well, until the next summer, take the gold medal to see you! Grateful Dade will never forget! "

  "Repaying your eyebrows in your life", Fu Yuanhui pinned her grief in her poems:

  Xiaomo in the south of the city is in spring again, only plum blossoms but no one;

  The iron bones have long become the soil under the spring, and the ink marks still lock the dust between the walls.
