（转帖，非原创）以下是关于我前几天提到的一个朋友家的女儿的信息：
我怀着十分沉痛的心，向大家报知一个悲痛的消息。
宝贵的生命，人生只有一次。死亡，感觉很遥远，但当它突然降临在我们的身边，这是何等的震惊与心痛! 二O一三年六月十三号傍晚的一场短暂的夏日风暴，竟然夺走了一位年轻美丽的生命。在下午五点左右，做了一天义工的南雪舟（Julia Nan）同学正要赶回家，走在 Chapel Hill , E. Franklin St, 313号房前的红砖人行道上。突然，门前一棵巨大的古树被强劲的风暴吹倒，把雪舟重重地砸倒在地。过路人纷纷施救，呼叫911。雪舟被送到UNC医院，但由于她的头部受到严重的摔伤，当天夜晚，雪舟永远地离开了我们。
南雪舟，年仅20岁，系UNC-CH毕业班学生。她是一位怀揣理想，品学兼优，乐于助人，多才多艺的优秀学生。雪舟十岁来美，中英兼修，十分流利；就读于Panther Creek High School期间，成绩名列全校第二, 荣获 过NC Academic Scholars, Scholar Athlete Award 等多项奖励；进入UNC-CH之后，她更加刻苦勤奋，计划明年毕业，用三年时间获得Biology 和Phycology双学士和Chemistry Minor学位，然后进入牙医学院深造。课余，雪舟常常为社区，图书馆，学校做义工，还经常帮助学习有困难的同学；在上大学之前，雪舟曾长期在洛丽中文学校做义工，为老师和学生们复印学习材料，尽心尽力，深得老师和同学们的赞赏。雪舟也是许多社团的积极人士，是学校Human Rights & Social Justice Club 的创始人之一。雪舟是一位积极向上，独立性强的学生，中学期间，便在Duke 大学医学院，牙医疹所，快歺店等地方实习，打工，和锻炼自身能力。在家里，雪舟是一位乖巧的女儿，爸妈的好帮手，会耐心照顾和指导幼小的妹妹们，常常在打工劳累归来时，为妹妹们带回一盒寿司。雪舟是一位阳光，甜美的女孩，遇到长辈，总会笑着叫一声：叔叔好! 阿姨好! 雪舟还弹得一手好钢琴⋯
如此优秀的学生，如此可爱的女儿，20 岁花季，飞扬的青春，瞬间被一场无情的风暴夺走了。
以下是治丧信息：
