各位校董、各位同事、各位校友、各位同學： 解囊濟急 紓緩蜀困 五月十二日下午，四川省汶川縣發生黎克特制七點八級強烈地震，震撼全國。這次地震災情之嚴重，三十年來罕見。至今已有近兩萬人罹難，災區多處夷為平地，痛失家園者不計其數。遭逢劫難的災區同胞亟需救援。 中大人向來關心國事，賑災不落人後。面對這次重大災難，我們除了向死傷者和他們的家人表示同情和慰問，祈求生死未卜者早獲解救外，還應給予災民實質援助，幫助他們渡過難關。 大學為協助賑濟四川地震災民，特於恆生銀行開立帳戶（帳號293-005005-022）。我呼籲各位校董、同事、校友和同學，本著人飢己飢、人溺己溺的精神，慷慨解囊，踴躍捐輸，向災區同胞伸出援手。各位可將善款在五月二十八日前存入帳戶，所得善款將全數轉交中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區聯絡辦公室賑災籌款辦公室，作救災之用 *。 此外，相信大家必定也很關心中大的川籍同學。大學現有七十多名來自重慶及四川各地的本科生，校方已與他們一一取得聯繫，各人目前均安全無虞。我們刻下亦正儘速聯繫各學系的川籍研究生。另外，有一名到四川旅遊的內地本科同學至今尚未聯絡上，校方已與其家人聯繫，並尋求中聯辦和入境事務處協助，盡力尋找其下落。校方會密切留意情況，隨時提供協助。 劉遵義 謹啟 * 港幣一百圓或以上的捐款，可憑收據扣稅。捐款者如需收據，請提供姓名、入款單據和地址，寄交傳訊及公共關係處處理。 Dear Council Members, Colleagues, Alumni and Students, Help Victims of Sichuan Quake An earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale hit the Sichuan province on 12 May, causing widespread damage and tremendous loss of lives. It was the most devastating tremor hitting China in the past three decades. The official death toll has risen to close to 20,000. As houses in the worst-hit areas have been reduced to rubble, many victims were left homeless in deprivation of food, water and medicine. As you are reading this e-mail, the lives of many men, women and children in the affected areas hang by a thread. To the victims of great calamity, the CUHK community has always been united in its deep sympathy and fast actions. Besides expressing our sympathy to the survivors and hoping that the missing will be found soon, we must lend a helping hand to those in dire distress. As resources of our country are mobilized in a race against time to save lives, I call upon all of you to act now and bring relief to the thousands suffering from this natural disaster. Please make your donations through our earthquake relief fund account: 293-005005-022 at Hang Seng Bank on or before 28 May. * The total amount raised will be forwarded to the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong for relief purposes. Finally, the University has got in touch with each of the more than 70 mainland undergraduate students from Sichuan and Chongqing found them all safe. We are in the process of confirming the safety of some other postgraduate students from Sichuan. We are also working with the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, the Immigration Department and the family concerned to locate a missing mainland student who has travelled to the area. The University will keep a close eye on the situation and offer assistance when needed. Lawrence J. Lau
