I am so sorry to hear that Wu Zhengyi has died - especially since we have been discussing the possibility for Peter to meet him in September.  What a remarkable man he was. What great changes he saw during his lifetime. I feel very honoured to have known him.

On behalf of everyone here at RBGE I send our deepest sympathies, especially to his family, but to all at KIB for your very great loss.

Best wishes,

Steve
