In general, I would like to recommend Peng Peigen as an excellent architect and respectable/beloved Mentor. He has had the sense of social responsibility and has taken the action to realize what he believes in.  He is highly respected in the Chinese as well as WesternCountries as an muster architect as well as an outspoken professional. Peng Peigen can always convince people in his field as well as general publics by his sharp but logical and rational criticisms. He has made a lots of constructional suggestions to the Chinese govern. These suggestions are very much beneficial to general publics. For example: he has suggested and realized that the taxicab’s colour in all China has been changed from just one red colour, into various green, yellow, blue or golden colours.  He suggested that passengers should not be asked to line up to pay the airport tax and the tax should be prepaid in the air tickets. He suggested that the foreigners should not be asked to pay different fee, from Chinese, for many fees or tickets. He has written an architecture critique on the building, in the last ten years, designed by foreign architects, who has taken China as their new weapon test field. This article has been appreciated by the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and the Premier’s Office has notified Peng of Mr. Wen positive comment. (Please read the booklet in white cover in the attachment).

总之，我愿意推荐杰出建筑师彭培根教授的原因是：彭培根是一位杰出的建筑师；又是受学生敬爱的导师。他富有强烈的社会责任感，并为实现自己的目标积极行动。彭先生作为一名杰出的总规划师和一名坦诚评论的教授而被中西方熟知和敬重。他敏锐而富有逻辑和理性的批判性言论，无论是对业内人士还是普通大众都有着极强的说服力。彭先生还在国家建设方面向中国政府提出过许多宝贵的建议。这些宝贵建议无不惠及大众。例如，他曾建议并实现了全国出租车色彩由单一的红色向绿，黄，蓝多种色彩的转变。他还建议机场税被包含在机票中，取代排队单独缴纳机场税的做法，并建议在票，费方面一视同仁对待中外旅客。他还针对外国建筑师在过去十年内所设计的建筑撰写了“建筑批判”。而这些建筑师则将中国视为了他们新的武器试验基地。该批判文章受到了温家宝总理的赞赏，总理办公室向彭教授转达了总理的积极评价。（请详见附件中白色封面小册）。

After the big earth quake in Sichuan last month, Peng has written a report to Premier Wen to introduce the UNIDO’s “Foundation Isolator Structure System”. This technology could reduce 40-60% of the impact and make a 8 deg
