Dear Members of the Columbia Community:
I am writing to share very sad news about one of our graduate students.
Last night a PhD student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences,
Minghui Yu, was struck by an automobile two blocks north of our main
campus at 122nd Street and Broadway while he was apparently fleeing an
attempted robbery on the sidewalk. The student was taken to
St. Luke's Hospital but passed away as a result of the severe injuries
he had sustained.
An NYPD investigation is underway and is being supported by the
University's Department of Public Safety which, last night following
university procedures, circulated an alert to student affairs deans at
all of our schools with information about possible suspects in the
attempted robbery.
As a community we mourn the loss of one of our members, and especially
of a young person with much to look forward to in a life of
promise. The University's counseling services are available to anyone
who feels he or she could benefit from expert support in response to
this deeply sad event. Please do not hesitate to visit Counseling and
Psychological Services on the 8th floor of Lerner Hall today from 1:00
- 5:00 p.m., or call at any time 212.854.2878 if you feel such
assistance would be helpful to you.
While incidents of crime have been significantly reduced in New York
over recent decades, and the area of Morningside Heights is within one
of the safest precincts in the city, it is nevertheless imperative
that we all take reasonable precautions appropriate to life in a large
metropolitan environment. Our Department of Public Safety has worked
closely with the NYPD in safeguarding members of our University
Community and offers a range of services -- including safety escorts,
evening shuttle buses and directed patrols -- that help ensure
students, faculty and staff can both be, and feel, secure while
living, studying and working here. We constantly review and seek to
improve public safety operations. If you would like more information
on these services, go to: www.columbia.edu/cu/publicsafety, or call
212.854.2797.
The family of the graduate student has been notified. We will begin
plans for a memorial event on campus. For today, I know we are united
as a community in mourning the tragic loss of a young life.

刚睇到呢个消息的时候好震惊，震惊到唔识讲野，而且直程系完全唔想讲野
虽然完全唔识呢个人，但系唔知系咪同样来自科大而且只比我大一届的关系，总觉得系发生系身边人的噩梦，好难过。。。有种无助的感觉。。。距系06年郭奖的获得者，一个好优秀前途一片光明的人，我甚至睇佐死者生前的一张相，眼神好慈祥好温柔，好似仲活在世上甘
上xiaoyue的space，睇到以下一段话：
We know each other and say meet some time around. But haven't gotten the chance yet. He is nice and quite smart, anyway he left.
Life is so fragile only leaving us to face, feel, exclaim and mourn the loss. Anything else? BLESS his family.
第一次睇的时候只知道有人国事，但并唔知道谁人因何事过世。当知道之后再睇翻呢篇文章，有一种忍唔住喊的冲动。。。
諗到死者的父母，想必唔止痛心甘简单。死亡，随时可能来袭，要珍惜身边的一切人
We don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna leave any of you
And I don't want you to go...
