Help Chunde's Family!

清华大学校友、自动化系2005级本科生、目前在美国纽约大学Stern商学院攻读博士学位的戴淳德同学，因在美国感恩节外出旅游期间遭遇事故，抢救无效，不幸永远离开了我们。

噩耗传来，令人分外痛心，但却不得不面对这一残酷的事实。在沉痛哀悼戴淳德同学的同时，我们特此发出倡议，希望朋友们能够伸出援手，让我们大家一同为小戴同学远在江西农村的父母送去一份安慰和支持。

美国迈阿密当地时间11月29日周一中午12点左右，戴淳德同学和其他3位同学在海边游泳时遭遇激流不幸严重溺水，被抢救上岸时虽然救护人员紧急实施了心肺复苏术但未见起色，后经转送医院抢救未果，遇难时年仅24岁。

戴淳德同学1986年6月出生于江西农村，全家依靠父亲在外打零工维持生计，母亲失业在家，哥哥是智障患者。即使家庭条件非常有限，但是戴淳德同学从小认真懂事，勤奋努力，2005年参加高考并被清华大学自动化系录取后，依靠江西省和清华大学的资金扶持，终于成功进入清华大学就读。在清华大学学习的四年时间中，戴淳德同学不负众望，先后获得清华之友奖学金、国家奖学金等荣誉。2009年，戴淳德同学荣获“清华大学优良毕业生”荣誉称号，以优异成绩从清华大学毕业，并远赴美国纽约大学Stern商学院攻读博士学位。在美学习的一年多时间中，无论是课程学习还是科研工作都得到了老师们的高度认可。就在事故发生前不到一个月，戴淳德同学刚刚在一次国际顶尖学术会议上宣读了自己最新的科研成果并得到了多位知名教授的高度认可。

生活中的戴淳德，心地善良，和蔼可亲，开朗活泼，热情助人，一直积极参加各类班级活动；工作中的戴淳德，严谨求实，勤奋刻苦，各项课程和科研的成绩都异常出色。对于小戴的离去，我们每个人心中都有难以表达的悲痛。我们失去了不只是一位同学，他也是父母的好孩子，老师们的好学生，同学们的好朋友，更是一颗正要升起的科研新星。

遭此横祸，令人倍感痛心，我们更无法想象小戴的家人又如何忍受爱子英年早逝，白发人送黑发人的苦痛，呜呼哀哉！现在，戴淳德的父母必须忍受巨大的痛苦，奔赴美国料理善后事宜，而整个家庭所遭遇的巨大打击更是永远无法弥补的伤痕，美国之行的巨大开销，未来家庭生活所必须面对的困境，都是小戴的家人所无法承担的。朋友们，我们无法挽回小戴年轻的生命，但我们一定可以为他的家人伸出援助之手，帮助他们一同度过艰难的时刻！

飘雪无声冬噤泪，行云幽影月含悲。红烛滴血悼英年，犹记送君言必归。

小戴，愿你在天堂安息！

希望海外的清华校友以及关心戴淳德的同胞朋友们能够伸出援手，帮助淳德的家庭度过难关！

此次募捐款项将用于帮助戴淳德家人赴美差旅和补贴未来家用。

English Version:

Chunde Dai, a 24 year old doctoral student at New York University's Stern
School of Business, died on November 29, 2010, after a tragic accident while
swimming on the coast of Florida. He is survived by his father Shengsheng
Dai, mother Aiping Li, brother Hu Dai, and sister Li Dai.

Chunde was born in 1986 in a small village of Jiang Xi province, where his
father worked as an occasional contractor with little pay to support the
whole family. His elder brother has been mentally disabled since young,
therefor his mother had to stay at home to take care of him. Despite all
these difficulties, Chunde worked very hard at school. He was one of the top
students from Jiang Xi province in the nationwide college entrance exam in
2005. With special scholarships for low income families from the provincial
government and assistance from Tsinghua University, Chunde enrolled in the
department of automation of Tsinghua University. While at Tsinghua, Chunde
won a number of prizes and scholarships including the Excellent
Undergraduate Student Award and the National Scholarship for his outstanding
academic performance. He was ranked the No. 6 students out of 168 students
graduating from the department of automation in 2009.

Chunde Dai entered the Stern Ph.D. Program in Operations Management in
August 2009. In less than 18 months of studies, Chunde emerged as an
exceptional student. He presented a research paper at INFORMS conference on
November 7, 2010, a remarkable achievement for a Ph.D. student in such a
short time. Professor Peter Henry, Dean of Stern Business School, noted in
his memorial message that "by all accounts, he was not only a stellar
student, but also a thoughtful, kind and warm-hearted person".

A memorial service is being planned in New York City. Chunde's father,
accompanied by two relatives, has made plans to travel to New York later
this week. However, his mother has become mentally and physically unstable
upon learning of the tragic news so she is unable to travel. While crying,
Chunde's father said that "the family had put everything into Chunde's
education. He was our hope. But, now everything is gone."
