亲爱的思廷儿女们：

      这个春节过得很不平静，每天看着不断上升的新型肺炎确诊人数，听闻前线医护人员救死扶伤和各类防护物资紧张的压力，让人不由揪心。在这个全国上下众志成城抗击“新冠”的时候，大学也积极响应政府的号召和要求，采取一系列防疫抗疫的紧急措施，尽力确保师生的健康安全和防止疫情蔓延，以实际行动全力支持打赢举国上下、万众一心的疫情防控攻坚战。

      正值庚子立春，东风解冻、蜇虫始振、鱼陟负冰，本是外出游春的大好时节，可想到你们大多都“困足”于家中，我内心十分挂念你们。虽然你们可以也应该利用好这段“意外”的假期读书学习和尽可能锻炼身体，更应该趁机好好陪陪父母家人，但我也当然知道长时间困在家里的日子不好过，大家都热切地盼望着早日重回正常的学习和生活。特别是那些身处荆楚大地的你们，每天还要面对更多更大的忧虑、压力甚至诘责，这让我时常陷入深深的担忧：真不知道你们和家人何时才能度过这一段劫难？

      当然，或许我是多虑了。虽然我们无法见面，但在微信上我看到你们依然灵动的身影。

     是你们，在困难中不忘对他人施以援手，在书院老师的带领下，策划了思源公益——驰援湖北的计划，数小时内在书院范围募集善款逾万元，更是在物资极其紧张的情况下，成功地采购了急需的防疫物资并发往湖北省黄石地区的医院。

      是你们，联合其他书院的宿生会，共同发起了“勤暖疫情，思海逸家”的打卡活动，开启线上互动的创新模式，分享假期故事，诉说感受见闻，让同学们足不出户也能彼此关怀和鼓励。

      是你们，在大学发布禁止返校的通知之后，充分理解和配合学校的要求，改变自己的行程和克服困难留在原地，舍小利顾大义，用实际行动为抗疫之战贡献自己的一份心力。

      得知身处全国、全世界各地的你们能够坦然面对困境，努力做好自己，我心里充满说不尽的欢喜！

      我一切都好，书院一切照旧，还是那样的安静美好，只是书院的老师、舍监和导师以及中航物业的同事们却非常忙碌：尽管是春节假期，书院老师已连续数日远程加班处理各类紧急事件，舍监和导师每天核实学生动态并及时汇报给相关部门，物业同事每天对书院公共区域进行清洁和消毒。除此以外，我们还专门建立了“2020MUSE与你同行”的微信群，在群里为身处湖北地区的同学们加油打气，更在各个楼层微信群策划丰富多彩的线上活动，通过网络发展和传播书院文化。

      孩子们，这场疫情的突如其来，的确打乱了我们正常的学习、工作和生活，也给我们带来诸多的不便和不顺，特别是今年毕业班的同学对升学和就业的前景更为担忧。其实纵观人的一生，灾祸是难以避开的变奏曲。古语说得好，祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。经历过这次的困难甚至痛苦，你的心灵必定会获得新的磨练和成长，你对人生的领悟必定会深入一步。不要害怕跌倒，只要爬得起来，一定会更上一层楼，超脱在小我之上。正如傅雷先生在家书中所言：“不经历尖锐的痛苦的人，不会有深厚博大的同情心。”所以孩子们，我很高兴期待着你们能在风雨中更好更快地成长，相信你们在未来的人生中会画出更加灿烂的彩虹，作为全球化时代的世界公民对人类有更多的热爱和担当，你们将秉承思廷院训“道器并重、兼济天下”，以爱心和能力为国为民做出更大的贡献！

      孩子们，2020年开年的这一场“暴风雪”尽管来势凶猛，但寒冬已过，新春已来，万物即将恢复生机。我相信，不久之后，在思廷那片充满着蓬勃朝气的如茵草坪上我们一定会畅快地欢聚！

顺祝

平安顺遂

爱你们的永勤院长

庚子立春

4 February 2020   

Dear Muse students,

This Spring Festival was really not peaceful! Every day the escalating numbers of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia, along with the plights of the tough work of frontline medical staff and the shortage of all kinds of supplies massively reported in the media, have been creating enormous anxiety and worry to us. As the whole country is unified with the highest priority to combat the new disease, our university has actively responded to the call and request of the government and taken a series of urgent measures to protect the health and safety of staff and students and control the spread of coronavirus outbreak, making contributions in the hope of winning the tough battle against the raging SARI pandemic disease.

It is the best time for going outdoor to enjoy the beauty of the nature as the Spring arrives. However, you are all “trapped” at home these days and cannot go anywhere. I deeply miss you at this difficult time! Although you can and should make good use of this “unexpected” holiday to read and study, and more importantly, to take this opportunity to accompany your parents, I certainly know you are getting bored and anxious as your time being stuck at home drags on and you must be earnestly hoping for getting back to the normal mode of study and life as soon as possible. To those of you who are now in Hubei Province, I especially miss and worry about you because you have to face greater anxiety, pressure and even blame every day and wonder when you and your families can get through this calamity.

Yes, I may have worried too much. Although we cannot see each other, I do see your brilliant and dexterous silhouette on WeChat.

It is you who do not forget to help others even at this difficult time. Under the guidance of Muse College teachers, you have launched the “Musing Charity – Rescue Hubei Swiftly” scheme and raised over ten thousand RMB within our college community in several hours. More impressively, you have successfully purchased the urgently needed epidemic-prevention supplies in shortage and shipped them to the hospitals in Huangshi Prefecture of Hubei Province.

It is you who have worked with the resident student associations of other colleges to jointly develop the “Stay together under the epidemic” check-in program and innovatively launch an online platform for interactive sharing of what you have been doing and thinking, enabling fellow students to send their care and encouragement to each other without going out of home.

It is you who have been highly considerate and supportive in response to the university’s request not to return to campus under the epidemic. Your selfless efforts in revising your travel itinerary and overcoming difficulty to stay at where you were certainly do bring benefits to the epidemic prevention and control battle.

Knowing your calm and courage under the current predicaments gives me abundant joy and happiness. I am fine. Our college is very quiet these days and everything is just fine as before. However, college teachers, hostel wardens and residential tutors, as well as the AVIC property management staff have been very busy recently in handling various urgent matters, verifying and reporting of student situations, and cleaning and disinfection of the public area in our college. In addition, we have created the “Stand by Me Muse 2020” WeChat group to connect and cheer up our students who are now in Hubei Province. Moreover, we will offer a variety of online activities and programs to develop and promote our college culture through internet.

Dear students, this sudden epidemic does disturb our normal mode of study, work and life, and does cause many inconveniences and disruptions for us. In particular, our final year students do face more uncertainties and anxieties in the prospects of their applications for graduate study and job hunting. Calamities are actually unavoidable variations throughout one’s life. As the old Chinese saying goes, “Good fortune follows upon disaster; disaster lurks within good fortune.” This difficult and even painful experience will certainly boost up your spiritual growth and help you better understand the meaning of life. Don’t worry about falling down, as long as you can climb up, and you will surely climb up the stairs. As Mr. Fu Lei written in his Family Letters, “Those who never had any acute and painful experience do not have profound compassion.” Therefore, I look forward with pleasure to seeing your healthy and speedy growth under wind and rain and believe you will draw a more brilliant rainbow in the future of your life. As global citizens in the globalizing world, you will be more committed with love and devotion to humanity, and uphold our college motto of “Principles and practice, dedication to humanity” to serve our country and people.

Dear students, the “snowstorm” coming menacingly at the beginning of 2020 is still raging. However, the cold winter is over and the spring has arrived, and life will revitalize vibrantly. I believe we will certainly be able to gather together joyfully in the near future on the green and vigorous lawn in Muse College.

With best wishes,

David Chen
