罗臻走了。

那个出生于重庆、在南京完成大学学业并在这座城市成家立业的年轻人，那个在2001年、大学还没毕业就敢创办efushop.com的创业者，那个在中国互联网早期就把旗袍和中式传统服装定制服务做到全世界的实干者，那个身患尿毒症、每周要透析三次却咬牙坚持了二十多年的硬汉——他走了。

他走得太早，才四十六岁。

一、关于他的事业

二十多年前，当大多数人还不知道"电商"为何物的时候，罗臻已经坐在电脑前，一笔一画地回复着来自世界各地的订单。他的efushop.com，让纽约的华人新娘穿上了正红色的锦缎旗袍，让伦敦的留学生在毕业典礼上穿上了量身定制的蓝色棉质旗袍，让无数不同年龄、不同身材、不同文化背景的人，都能拥有一件真正属于自己的中式服装。

客户可以自己挑选面料、挑选盘扣、决定开衩的高度。他坚持"easy fit you"——不是流水线上的均码，而是为每一个人量身而裁。那些客户发来的照片里，穿着旗袍的笑容，就是对他最好的褒奖。

在那个还没有智能手机、没有短视频的年代，他靠着一个网站、一腔热忱，把中国传统服饰的美，送到了全球客户的手中。

二、关于他的坚强

很多人不知道，这二十多年来，罗臻一直与病魔同行。

尿毒症。每周三次透析。这意味着他的人生有相当大的一部分时间，是在医院的透析室里度过的。普通人难以想象那种身体上的煎熬——乏力、恶心、水肿、贫血，每一次透析都是对意志的考验。

但他没有倒下。

他一边透析，一边处理订单；一边与病魔搏斗，一边回复客户的邮件。网站上的每一件旗袍、每一张客户照片，背后都是一个病人在咬牙坚持的故事。

他从不把自己的病痛当作博取同情的筹码。他只是一个默默做事的人，一个想把事情做好的人。

三、关于他的牵挂

罗臻走了，留下妻子，留下一对尚未成年的儿女（一个儿子和一个女儿）。

他一定是带着万般不舍离开的。他多想看着儿女们长大，多想再为他们多挣一份学费，多想再陪妻子走一段路。他坚持了二十多年，或许就是为了这一天能来得晚一点、再晚一点。

他是一位丈夫，一位父亲，也是一位战士。

四、关于告别

罗臻走了，留下妻子，留下一对尚未成年的儿女。

efushop.com关停了。这个承载了他二十多年心血的小小网站，也将随之消失在互联网的浩瀚海洋中。

但有些东西不会消失。
那些穿过他做的旗袍的人，会记得那份合身与美丽。
那些与他打过交道的客户，会记得那份真诚与耐心。
我们这些了解他的人，会记得他的坚强、他的执着、他的沉默与担当。

罗臻，这个世界不会忘记你。

"你以一己之力，在病痛中撑起了一个小小的商业世界；你用二十多年的坚持，诠释了什么叫"自强不息"；你让中式服装的美，留在了那么多人的记忆里。"

愿你安息。愿你的妻子和儿女，被这个世界温柔以待。

Luo Zhen has passed away.

The young man born in Chongqing, who earned his university degree in Nanjing and went on to build his family and career in that same city — the entrepreneur who founded efushop.com in 2001 before even graduating, the pioneer who brought qipao(cheongsam) and custom-fit traditional Chinese clothing to the world in the early days of the Chinese internet, the tough spirit who lived with uremia for over two decades, undergoing dialysis three times a week — is gone.

He left too early, at only forty-six years old.

I. About His Work

More than two decades ago, when most people didn't yet know what "e-commerce" was, Luo Zhen was already at his computer, carefully replying to orders from customers across the globe. Through efushop.com, Chinese brides in New York wore crimson brocade wedding qipao(cheongsam), overseas students in London wore custom-tailored blue cotton qipao(cheongsam) to their graduation ceremonies, and countless people of every age, shape, and cultural background were able to own a truly personal piece of Chinese clothing, made just for them.

Customers could choose their own fabrics, select frog buttons, and decide the height of the slit. He stood by his promise — "easy fit you" — not mass-produced ready-to-wear, but every garment cut to the individual. The smiling faces in the customer photographs were his greatest reward.

In an era without smartphones or short videos, he carried the beauty of traditional Chinese clothing into the hands of clients worldwide, armed with nothing but a single website and a heart full of devotion.

II. About His Strength

What many never knew is that Luo Zhen walked side-by-side with illness for more than twenty years.

Uremia. Three dialysis sessions every single week. A huge portion of his life was spent inside hospital dialysis rooms. It is nearly impossible for an ordinary person to imagine the physical toll: the fatigue, the nausea, the swelling, the anemia — every single dialysis session a quiet test of willpower.

But he never fell.

He processed orders while undergoing dialysis. He answered customers' emails while fighting his illness. Every qipao(cheongsam) on the website, every photograph of a happy client, told the same quiet story: of a very sick man, gritting his teeth and simply getting on with it.

He never used his illness as leverage for sympathy. He was simply a man who worked quietly. A man who simply wanted to do things well.

III. About Those He Left Behind

Luo Zhen is gone, leaving behind his wife, and two young children — a son and a daughter — both still underage.

Surely he left with immense reluctance in his heart. He so wanted to watch his children grow up, to earn a little more money for their tuition fees, to walk a little further along life's road with his wife. He held on for more than twenty years, perhaps always hoping that this final day would come just a little later — then just a little later still.

He was a husband, a father, and a warrior.

IV. A Farewell

Luo Zhen is gone, leaving behind his wife, and two young children — a son and a daughter.

efushop.com has closed its doors. That small website, the vessel into which he poured more than twenty years of his heart and soul, will disappear into the vast, restless ocean of the internet.

But some things will never disappear.
Those who wore the qipao(cheongsam) he made will always remember how perfectly they fit, how beautiful they felt.
Those who did business with him will always remember his sincerity, his honesty, and his endless patience.
Those of us who knew him will remember his strength, his perseverance, his silence, and his deep, unshakable sense of responsibility.

Luo Zhen — the world will not forget you.

Borne by your own two hands, from a hospital sickbed you built a small but thriving world of commerce. Through twenty years of unbroken perseverance you showed, more clearly than any words ever could, the true meaning of "constantly striving to become stronger." And through your work, you left the beauty of Chinese clothing alive in the memory of so very many people.

May you rest in peace. May your wife, your son, and your daughter be held forever in this world's gentle kindness.
