The event will take place on Nov. 6, Saturday at his house in Connecticut, 50 mins away from the city. Transportation will be provided. We will gather at 10:30 AM in Manhattan and a driver will pick us up to take us to Hao’s residence. (More detailed information on gathering time and location to be followed up, private transportation also welcome.)
The event will include an in-house get together, a hiking trip and a dinner party, featuring a Shanghainese chef. Two hiking trail options are being offered (see details belows) and we will pick one based on poll result.
The entry fee will be $30 per person. Student $20. Family bundle $60 (up to 2 adults and 2 children). Guests are welcome. Any additional donation is welcome, all of which will be donated to the Foundation.
Please RSVP by October 31st midnight EST.

Hao studied at Fudan Fuzhong 93-96. Before that, he enjoyed much lighter course load in a local junior high school. After the training in Fuzhong, he cruised onto Fudan, Caltech (BSc ‘00), and Berkeley (PhD ‘07). For the past 15 years or so, Hao can be seen on the Eastern Seaboard, commuting between CT and NYC, or more recently, working from home in the residential suburb of Greenwich CT. In his spare time, Hao hangs out with his two children and more recently, also his pandemic pet Aster the Cat.
