Erfan Rezaei was a 21-year-old young man from Amol who lost his life on September 21, 2022, during the nationwide protests. He was killed by government forces while demonstrating in front of the Amol governorate. Since his death, he has been honored by the movement as a "Javidnam" (immortal). Erfan is remembered by his mother as a creative soul with a deep love for painting and animals. He held vibrant dreams for his future, which included establishing a white button mushroom farm and owning an orange motorcycle. His mother describes him as a person who hoped to see love and beauty restored to his homeland. In the years following his death, Erfan’s family has continued to keep his memory alive through public acts of remembrance. His mother has been documented visiting his floral-adorned grave and tying green knots in the grass during traditional holidays, symbolizing her hope that the "green-clad son" she lost will be remembered as part of Iran’s pursuit of justice and glory.

عرفان رضایی، جوانی ۲۱ ساله اهل آمل بود که در تاریخ ۳۰ شهریور ۱۴۰۱ در جریان اعتراضات مردمی جان خود را از دست داد. او در مقابل فرمانداری آمل توسط نیروهای حکومتی کشته شد و از آن زمان به عنوان یکی از «جاویدنامان» خیزش سراسری ایران شناخته می‌شود. مادر عرفان او را جوانی عاشق نقاشی و حیوانات توصیف می‌کند که آرزوهای روشنی برای آینده‌اش داشت؛ از جمله راه‌اندازی سالن پرورش قارچ دکمه‌ای و داشتن یک موتور سیکلت نارنجی. او به سگ وفادارش عشق می‌ورزید و در رویاهایش، دیوارهای آلاچیق چوبی خود را با نقاشی‌هایش تزیین می‌کرد. خانواده عرفان با حضور بر مزار او که همواره با گل‌های تازه تزیین شده، یادش را زنده نگه می‌دارند. مادر او با انجام آیین‌هایی مانند گره زدن سبزه به یاد فرزندش، او را «پسر سبزپوش» خود می‌نامد و بر این باور است که روزی عشق، زیبایی و شکوه به سرزمینش باز خواهد گشت.
