Dear Friends,

As most of you have already known, Yang Guo is seriously ill in hospital and needs help badly. The Students' Union has decided to call upon all students on campus to help with the money for his medical treatment.

Please donate as much as you can. Unless we can raise sufficient money, Yang Guo will not be able to afford the necessary treatment. As the local hospital is poorly equipped, he needs to be transferred to a hospital in Beijing to have an operation.

As his schoolmates, we should show our love to him by donating money to assist in his speedy recovery. Please contribute generously.

The Students' Union

亲爱的朋友们：

大多数人已经知道了，杨过同学因重病住院，急需大家的帮助。学生会决定号召所有在校学生帮助筹集他的医疗费。

请大家尽己所能捐款。只有我们筹到足够的钱，杨过同学才能负担得起必要的治疗。因为本地医院的医疗条件有限，他需要转到北京的医院做手术。

作为杨过的同学，我们应该慷慨解囊助他早日康复，以此来表达对他的关爱。请大家慷慨捐款。
