Cohen<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>A Eulogy by Xu Zhangrun<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"header-anchor-post\"><strong>translated by G.R. Barm\u00e9<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Jerome Cohen<\/strong>\u00a0enjoyed the longevity of a truly righteous man, however, following an extended illness he has now left us. His passing truly marks the end of an era. In what seems like another age, years ago Jerry Cohen, our master, ventured to this distant land of China to contribute his talent to the opening of that door, hopeful of being able to propagate the rule of law for the sake of broader public benefit.For Jerome Cohen, the idea of legal rights was always grounded in a respect for basic human rights. He was motivated by a spirit of decency and his efforts were crowned with initial success. Those early years contributed to a better future for countless people although, ultimately, they were unable to challenge the immobility of totalitarian habit. The failure, however, was not that of Jerry Cohen, rather it was part of the larger Chinese tragedy, one that has seen the repeated frustration of universal values. For those of us mired yet in this reality, to see him now depart adds to our profound sense of loss. In his wake, we continue to face this sorrowful state of stagnation. As a land that was at the pinnacle of the world [that is, the USA] is itself enamoured of autocracy \u2014 something celebrated by tyrants worldwide \u2014 our already bereft state is further exacerbated by incredulity.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2020, Professor Cohen resisted the challenges of the passage of time and remained energetically engaged in writing projects; he even found time to write about my plight on six separate occasions. He also advocated on my behalf even though (or because) he knew exactly what fate had in store for me. [<em>Note<\/em>: See\u00a0<strong>What\u2019s Next for Xu Zhangrun?<\/strong>] He excoriated the regime for its shameless persecution of me, more importantly he pinpointed the flawed logic behind their machinations while identifying the crux of our troubles in the context of our lived reality. His concern for the state of the law in China was consistently framed by an unflinching advocacy for the rule of law itself. For he knew that if true justice is impossible we are all reduced to a state of banditry. Fully aware of the punishment that would be meted out to me, Professor Cohen invited me to teach at the U.S.-Asia Law Institute, which he had founded at New York University. It was a heartfelt act of generosity offered to me at a time of pressing need, a helping hand extended to a likeminded colleague on the other side of the world who was submerged in iniquity. His generosity was a practical recognition of our shared humanity. This venerable Professor was not only a teacher of stature and an unwavering champion of substantive exchange between West and East, he was also an outstanding humanitarian whose real-world actions were a practical expression of his ideals.<\/p>\n<p>In all of its vastness the world is yet a very small place. It is by the pursuit of goodness, both for oneself and for a multitude of others, that can one find solace in life, thereby being able to tolerate and fully appreciate all that existence has to offer. Human nature, for all of the wickedness of the human heart, also contains an imperishable core of sublimation and decency. It is as eternal as the sun, the moon and the stars themselves, and it shines with enduring ferocity. This is why, despite our physical frailty, even when confronted by the sea of troubles countless people will advance undaunted. This too is my own experience, one that I know Professor Cohen understood, encouraged and applauded. [Note: See\u00a0<strong>Professor Xu Zhangrun\u2019s Poem Honoring Navalny\u2019s Memory<\/strong>.] Fragile, too, are even the wisest among us. Looking into the great expense of heaven and surveying the boundless vistas of earth, even though each advance is but an inching step forward, as I record here my mournful celebration using this most fragile medium I remain deeply grateful for the bounty of learning that Professor Jerome Cohen bequeathed to us all. A member of my spiritual family has departed. I hail his memory even as I tearfully grieve over our loss on this, the<\/p>\n<p>Third Day of the Eighth Month of the Yisi Year of the Snake (24 September 2025).
