今天一早收到朋友的短信,大学时的同学兼好友杨含昨天下午在美国(美国当地时间710日凌晨Florida州公寓游泳时溺水身亡,而他本来马上就可以拿到博士学位回国了!!

 

整个上午都沉浸在悲痛之中,往事一幕幕出现在我的脑海:

 

杨含出生在安徽农村,是个性格外向、可爱的人,大一刚认识时得知我是从大城市来的,就经常会找我聊天,问一些城市生活的事情,给我感觉他是一个热情、上进、爱交朋友的人。杨含很聪明,不是那种“死读书”的类型,我也很喜欢跟他交往,我们一起下棋、打乒乓、打台球,一个学期下来,我们已经成了很好的朋友。

 

有一次国庆节长假,我跟杨含两个人一起去天津玩,住在我们的一个同学家里。我清晰地记得在火车上他说,这是他第一次到中国的直辖市,我跟他描绘的很多城市景观将会出现,心里好激动!在天津我们拍了很多照片,他说他要寄回家去给爸妈看。多么纯朴的一个人啊!

 

毕业后他考了川大的研究生,后来又去美国读博,当时没有手机,基本就没了联系。谁知,他居然就永远离开了我们!

 

美国这边正在制作一个他的相册集,我联系了他小时候和中学的几位同学,希望把我这边保存的一些照片也传过去,希望他的爸爸妈妈看了这些照片,能得到一些心里上的安慰。

 

杨含,愿你在天堂过得好!!

UF graduate student found dead in local apartment complex poolBy ZAHARA ZAHAV, Alligator Writer

UF student Han Yang was the kind of person who would invite friends to his house, cook them a big dinner and talk to them for hours.

 

He was there for everyone,” said Weitao Li, a friend of Yang’s and president of the Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars, of which Yang was a member. “All of us are feeling deep sorrow, and we will miss him a lot.”

 

Yang, a 26-year-old engineering graduate student, was found dead in his apartment complex’s pool on Thursday morning.

 

 

Yu Chen, Yang’s roommate, told police it was not unusual for Yang to go for a swim in the evening.

 

The college student was wearing swim trunks when he was discovered by a resident at his Sun Island apartment complex at 999 SW 16th Ave.

 

Officer Summer Hallett, spokeswoman for the Gainesville Police, said police do not suspect foul play, and the autopsy showed no signs of trauma.

 

Test results for alcohol, drugs or any illnesses have not come back yet, Hallett added.

 

The Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars will hold a memorial service for Yang in the Reitz Union in the next two weeks once his parents are able to travel to the U.S.
