Hamid Hajizadeh was a dedicated teacher of literature, a poet, and a writer living in Kerman. Recognized as a committed educator and man of letters, he is remembered by his former students for his passion for teaching. His birthday is often commemorated on Teacher's Day by those who were moved by his life and work. On September 22, 1998 (31 Shahrivar 1377), Hamid Hajizadeh and his nine-year-old son, Karoun, were brutally murdered in Kerman. Their killings were part of the state-sponsored "Chain Murders," a series of targeted assassinations by government agents aimed at eliminating Iranian intellectuals, dissidents, and critics. The loss of Hajizadeh and his young child remains a stark symbol of systematic violence against writers and thinkers in Iran. Decades later, his legacy is upheld by those seeking justice for the victims of political assassinations, honoring a man who was targeted for his literary and social activities.

حمید حاجی‌زاده، دبیر ادبیات، شاعر و نویسنده‌ای بود که در شهر کرمان به فعالیت‌های ادبی و آموزشی اشتغال داشت. او به عنوان آموزگاری فداکار و ادیبی دلسوز شناخته می‌شد که یادش همچنان در میان شاگردانش زنده است؛ کسانی که از او به عنوان معلمی یاد می‌کنند که تأثیری عمیق بر زندگی آن‌ها گذاشته بود. در تاریخ ۳۱ شهریور ۱۳۷۷، حمید حاجی‌زاده به همراه فرزند ۹ ساله‌اش، کارون، به شکلی وحشیانه در منزل خود در کرمان به قتل رسیدند. این جنایت بخشی از واقعه موسوم به «قتل‌های زنجیره‌ای» بود که طی آن عوامل حکومتی به حذف فیزیکی روشنفکران، نویسندگان و دگراندیشان منتقد می‌پرداختند. قتل حمید حاجی‌زاده و فرزند خردسالش به عنوان یکی از تلخ‌ترین نمونه‌های خشونت سیستماتیک علیه اهل قلم در ایران در یادها مانده است. دهه‌ها پس از این واقعه، از او به عنوان نمادی از بهای سنگین آزادی بیان یاد می‌شود و مزار و خاطره او محلی برای تجدید میثاق با آرمان‌های دادخواهی برای قربانیان ترورهای سیاسی است.
