❤賀陳弘校長寫給全校教職員工生的一封信

各位同仁與各位同學，大家好！

疫情逐漸升高，政府剛剛宣布了全國進入第三級警戒，大家一定會感到憂心。我現在正在學校旺宏館，雖然已經在清華工作了30年，從來沒有看過學校碰到這個情形，但是我相信所有清華人一定可以度過這個難關。

學校從前天開始實施全面遠距教學、實體考試暫停兩週、研究生論文口試都可以線上進行；昨天開始，所有人車非因公務嚴格禁止入校；今天起，全校的同仁全面分組上班，同時加強環境清消，我們一直維護著一個安全的校園。

同學們如果必須在學校中做畢業論文的研究，一定要遵守室內空間五人以下，做到實名制、戴口罩、勤洗手。

不論大家身在學校或是家中，請每個人比平時更多加保重自己健康，照顧身邊親人，彼此提醒減少外出，降低社區的傳染風險。

在疫情中我們特別掛念一些生活發生困難的同學。這些同學因為家境的緣故，原本就需要在校內外打工維持生活，疫情使得打工的機會都沒有了，生活怎麼辦？學校在去年疫情開始的時候，曾經推動專案「COVID-19 中的愛」，募集一筆捐款，幫助受到疫情打擊的同學。如果你知道有這樣的同學，請轉告他把困難告訴我們，生輔組一定會幫助同學們度過難關。

在疫情中，雖然我們覺得生活中有許多不如意與憂慮，但是我相信，我們永遠有能力幫助身邊比我們更加困難的人。

今天新竹市街頭和校園顯得空蕩，雖然是在夏天，卻有些蕭瑟的感覺，我們正一起面臨一段艱難的時光。相信只要你我好好照顧自己、互相伸出援手、彼此提醒，堅持紀律，心中有愛，一定可以很快度過疫情。希望能夠在清華園中，鳳凰花依然燦爛的時候，很快再見到你。

祝大家平安健康！

A letter from President Hocheng

Greetings to my dear colleagues and students,

The pandemic situation is gradually spreading, and the government has just announced that the entire country will be entering into Level 3 epidemic alert. I am sure you are all worried about this situation. Currently, in my office in the Macronix Building, I am facing perhaps the most difficult moment in my thirty years of service at National Tsinghua University. Although these circumstances are unprecedented, I have complete confidence that our Tsinghua community will be able to pull together and get through this difficult time.

Our university has implemented complete remote learning and temporarily suspended in-person examinations for two weeks beginning May 17th. In addition, oral defenses by graduate students will be conducted online. Effective yesterday (May 18th), all non-NTHU personnel are strictly prohibited from entering campus without an official reason. Starting today, all staff members will be divided into separate work-groups, and we will vigorously maintain a safe campus with enhanced disinfection measures.

If students have to conduct research for their theses, please strictly abide by the rule that indoor spaces cannot exceed 5 people. At the same time, please adhere to real-name registration, wear a facial mask at all times, and wash your hands frequently.

Regardless of whether you are on campus or at home, please pay attention to your health more than usual. Take care of your relatives and decrease the risk of community infection by reminding each other to refrain from going out unless absolutely necessary.

During this pandemic, we are particularly concerned about students experiencing financial difficulties. Due to their family circumstances, these students originally needed to work on or off campus to support themselves. Now that their work opportunities have been suspended, I dare not imagine how harshly the pandemic is affecting their livelihoods. When the epidemic began last year, our university initiated the project "Love in COVID-19" to raise funds to help these students in need. If you happen to know such classmates, please ask them to contact our Student Assistance Division, and we will do our best to support them and help them get through this difficult period.

Even though we have faced numerous inconveniences and experienced many worries during the pandemic, I strongly believe that we are always capable of helping out those around us who are in greater need.

Although the streets of Hsinchu City and the NTHU campus seem empty and barren this summer, I want to assure you that we will face this difficult time together. As long as you and I take good care of ourselves, are willing to extend a helping hand, remind each other about safety, adhere to the regulations, and, most importantly, have never-ending love in our hearts, we will prevail against the epidemic. I look forward to seeing you again soon, when the phoenix flowers bloom in our Tsinghua Garden.

Wishing you all health and safety,

Hong Hocheng, May 19th, 2021
President
National Tsing Hua University

#Editorial AppleDailyHK｜"However, this sanction war might kill the China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment negotiation completed at the end of last year. China agreed, at the last minute, that it will adhere to the rules of the International Labor Organization (ILO) so that the EU will join forces to fight against the U.S. Now China is fighting against the EU and the European/U.S. brands on the subject of Xinjiang cotton and forced labor. When wrecking the source of profits of these international brands, did the CCP realize it is also wrecking its own agenda and becoming the catalyst of a Europe-U.S. alliance?"

"只不過，這場制裁戰可能讓去年底完成的中歐全面投資協定談判胎死腹中。中方為聯歐抗美，在談判最後時刻承諾遵守國際勞工組織規則，如今在新疆棉花涉及強迫勞動問題上，與歐盟對抗、與歐美品牌對抗，狠狠地砸了一些國際品牌的碗，豈不是同時狠狠地砸了自己的腳，成了歐美加強聯盟的墊腳石？"
