Dear CSSA members,

Thank you for your generousness in the snowstorm donation! We have received donation of more than 400 dollars from different individuals! CSSA has added up the total amount to 500 dollars and sent the check to the Chinese Consulate General in New York in early March. For the snowstorm donation, the Chinese Consulate General in New York has set up a special department during this period and will send all the donations from different Chinese students organizations back to China!

We are so happy and touched to see so many of us stand out and support our country and people during difficulties and tragedies, and it's CSSA's great honor to send your greetings back to China! We will let you know the donation follow-up from the Chinese Consulate General in New York! Hope you will always be supportive to Pitt-CSSA!

best regards,

CSSA

一月下旬的几场暴风雪和冻冰雪无情的冰冻了长江以南的19个省市，也阻断了那些辛勤劳作了一年，急切盼望回家过年的数千万老百姓的归途。我们祖国的南方正在经受半个世纪以来最强悍，最冷酷的寒冬。最严重的地区，已经停电停水一个星期了。更为可怕的事，救灾的物资也被阻隔在了冰天雪地的公路和铁路上。许多的同胞正挣扎在生命的边缘。这场不合时宜的暴风雪还赶在了一年一度的春运高峰季节。各地的汽车和火车站相继停运。广州火车站每天有十几万人在日夜等待通车的消息。

A sever snow storm has rampaged throughout provinces in northwest and southeast China, mostly along side Yangzi River drainage area. This storm is not like what we have seen here in Pittsburgh or anywhere around this region. It is a storm claims near a hundred people’s lives, crashes more than ten million houses, affects about 80 million people, and costs almost one billion dollars lost.

英国诗人雪莱说过：“如果冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”在结束的时候，我想说：有你，这个冬天不再冷，春天不会远！

Percy Shelley said about two hundred years ago: “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” and I will say today: “winter will no longer be freezing, only because of you!”
