尊敬的讀者：

我們摯愛的丈夫、父親、導師、朋友閻潤濤博士不久前與世長辭。他不僅為家人和朋友留下了終生難忘的美好回憶，也給世界各地成千上萬的讀者留下一份感人至深的友情和精神遺產，包括一些尚未發表的作品。

數十年來，潤濤先生在辛勞工作之餘奮力寫作，與廣大讀者分享他對人生的體驗，其作品親切質樸，妙趣橫生，同時富有哲理和愛心，贏得了無數網友的喜愛。為了紀念潤濤先生，使更多人能夠從其作品中受益，我們成立了非營利組織“潤濤閻項目”（The RunTao Project），以便整理、出版潤濤先生的作品，運營先生在去世前不久親自參與設立的網站 runtaoyan.org，為大家提供一個賞析先生作品，緬懷先生情誼、傳播先生思想而互動的平台。

我們為此宣布，通過 GoFundMe 組織一次籌款活動為“潤濤閻項目”提供資金。資金使用範圍將僅限於傳播、出版潤濤先生的作品和運營 runtaoyan.org 網站。我們的初步工作規劃包括整理先生的遺作，以及保證 runtaoyan.org 網站運營。中期規劃包括整理出版《獨目觀世》第二集、在技術和內容兩方麵對 runtaoyan.org 網站升級，並考慮將部分內容譯成英文。歡迎網友們通過網站留言提出意見和建議。

我們為“潤濤閻項目”設立了專用銀行賬戶，並將每年一度向捐款人詳細匯報資金使用情況。衷心感謝大家在潤濤先生生前對他的厚愛以及在先生去世後對家人的深切慰唁和鼎立支持。

潤濤家人和朋友敬上

As many of you may know, our beloved father, husband, friend and mentor, Dr. Run-Tao Yan, recently passed away. He leaves behind not just a lifetime of beautiful memories for his family and friends to remember, but incredible impact on so many wonderful readers across the world. Dr. Yan also left behind unpublished work, as well as a passion for helping others learn. 

We are proud to announce The RunTao Project in honor of Dr. Run-Tao Yan, whose prolific life observations over 15 years of writing was beloved by many. Before his passing, with the help of a few of his reader friends, Run-Tao had started his own website, runtaoyan.org, hosting his articles. Now, with The RunTao Project, we can ensure this website continues to cultivate a positive community of discussion and learning, keeping his memory and what he strived to create alive. 

So, we are setting up this GoFundMe campaign to raise contributions to help with immediate needs to plan and carry on his legacy. With significant contributions, we will focus on community engagement, making the site a vivid place for discussion and learning, which also helps keep his writings as relevant as possible for any future readers. We hope to upgrade the website, invite guest editors, etc. Run-Tao wrote over 1000 articles on various online platforms, and our goal is to organize them into themes to promote further discussion, translate them to English, and find ways to ensure his legacy lives on with the community he so deeply cherished.

We will share updates as we get more details and make progress on The RunTao Project. We want to thank you all for your outpouring of support in loving memory of our father, husband, and friend Dr. Run-Tao Yan. 

Thank you,
Dr. Run-Tao Yan’s family and friends
