Tribute to Zhe Wang
Dr Francis Gilbert and the family of student Zhe Wang pay tribute to her, following her tragic death in March 2024.
The Department of Educational Studies are devastated by the tragic death of their wonderful student Zhe Wang, who was so creative, so full of life, and so erudite. We would like to share our condolences to her family for their heart-breaking loss.
Zhe had produced some wonderful work on the MA Creative Writing and Education, which she was studying. She had great plans for her future, aiming to publish her work. We are taking steps to publish some of this, and memories of her, in a forthcoming anthology.
We miss Zhe deeply, and she will be so warmly remembered by her fellow students and colleagues here at Goldsmiths.
Her family have written a letter to share with our community.

Translation:
Zhe was a kind and gentle girl who sought knowledge and advancement, and was extremely gifted in languages, proficient in five languages. Our family loves and misses Zhe dearly! Before her death, she was engaged in teaching IELTS, with outstanding results, and many students in China were shocked and saddened by her unexpected departure! She came to the University of London with a dream, where she had teachers who appreciated her and classmates who cared for her. I believe she had a wonderful time and she must have loved you all from the bottom of her heart!
Zhe's unexpected death has touched the hearts of countless people and is a tragedy for the whole family! What is touching is that the school gave the family care in the immediate instance and provided a lot of help for this time to come to the UK, a loving, humanistic school. Students, you can make a firm decision! Finally, I hope that the school can give more attention and protection to international students. Thank you to every teacher and student to participate in the commemorative activities, Zhe will be surrounded by love and thought. Blessings to Goldsmiths, and may all of you be well!
