　　He originally had a bright future, but the sudden advent of illness took him away from the game. He was forced to transform into a staff member of the Shougang Men's Basketball Team, responsible for team administration and communication.

Even if he can't play, he still continues to play his professional attitude and treat his work conscientiously.

Relying on his love of basketball, he poured his strength into every corner of his life.

　　We don't know why the god of destiny is so ruthless and wants to take him from us.

We wish he could return to the court with a smile, put on his favorite jersey, and fight for his favorite team.

　　We will always remember him!

　　At this point, apart from seeing off, we don't have much to do for "Brother Hu".
