A Vietnamese student surnamed Le, enrolled in the Chinese-language program of CHU's International College, recently needed surgery after an accident, leaving the family under heavy financial pressure from the high medical costs. Upon learning of the situation, the university quickly activated its care mechanisms: in addition to helping the student apply for an emergency relief grant of NTD15000, the homeroom teacher also rallied classmates to launch a fundraiser that collected NTD 10000 in donations. Subsequently, through the efforts of Amy Chuang, head of the International College's Student Affairs section, the Chung Hua Hong Zong Traditional Culture Promotion Association stepped in with an additional emergency relief donation of NTD106000, providing timely support for Le's family and letting an international student studying in Taiwan feel the warmth of both campus and community during a difficult time.

Wei-yang Kao, Chief Instructor of the Chung Hua Hong Zong Traditional Culture Promotion Association, said it was deeply moving to see the university's faculty, classmates, and members of society all coming together to care for a young student who had traveled from overseas to study in Taiwan. He believes that love and care should not be limited by geography or nationality, and hopes this donation will inspire others to follow suit so that goodwill continues to spread. He also wished Le a speedy recovery and a swift return to campus to complete his studies.

Vice President Hung-nien Hsieh said that after Le's accident, the university immediately stepped in to offer care and necessary support. He noted it was heartening that many students voluntarily joined the fundraiser, offering blessings and encouragement through concrete action. He also specially thanked the Chung Hua Hong Zong Traditional Culture Promotion Association for its generosity in providing substantial support at the moment the student needed it most — not only easing the family's burden, but also reflecting the mutual care and warmth of Taiwanese society, allowing international students to feel heartfelt concern that crosses national borders.

Describing how this act of kindness came about, Amy Chuang explained that after learning of the heavy medical expenses facing Le's family, she reached out to Yen-lin, Li Secretary-General of the Chung Hua Hong Zong Traditional Culture Promotion Association, to explain the situation and seek additional assistance for the student. After understanding the circumstances, the association promptly decided to provide an emergency relief donation to help the family get through this difficult period.

CHU has long placed great importance on the academic development and daily well-being of its international students. Upholding a student-centered educational philosophy, the university is committed to building a safe and supportive learning environment. Beyond offering comprehensive teaching resources and counseling mechanisms, it also provides various forms of care to help students adjust to life in Taiwan. This cross-border relay of compassion not only reflects the spirit of mutual support on campus, but also highlights that CHU's approach to nurturing talent emphasizes not only professional skills but also character education and humanistic care — allowing every student who comes to study in Taiwan to grow with peace of mind and pursue their dreams with courage in a warm and caring campus environment.
