But I admire what I know of his work.

But it is depending on the generation, different generations need different FLOs.

I may prefer to respect everyone who loves landscape architects and donates themselves to this subject,including the teachers,scholars,writers,designers… Sometimes, the gereration can provide a chance for landscape architects to make their idea come true,for example,FLO’s Centural Park.But sometimes there is not a chance for the person to make his/her theory come ture although they are brilliant as FLO.

Therefore,who will become FLO in China is not important.

He did not reply to an email from Gardenvisit.com – but I guess FLO was not much good with email either. Both landscape architects are good at getting publicity.

I like and admire them. It is just that social customs vary between countries. I once read of a Hungarian who came to England with the habit of starting a conversation on a train by asking ‘How much money to you earn?’ – which is a question one would never ask in England! My own principle, like yours, is to treat everyone the same. You are definitely the first person to think that I look Chinese and I take it as a compliment.

Maybe,you were not luckey that time.

But the main reason is that maybe you donot look like a foreigner.That is why they didnot speak to you.There is a traditional custom in china which is “worship things foreign and fawn on foreign countries”. They like foreigners more than local person. Not eveyone likes me, treat everybody the same.

But if I think back to meetings with strangers in China, I would say that Chinese people are more cautious and less open than people in, for example, India. Cycling in India, people were always calling out ‘Welcome to India? Where from? Very nice bike!’ but this did not happen once in China. But please don’t think I am criticising the Chinese for this – it is in fact how I behave myself. Ah, and now I remember an exception. I stopped to ask the way in, I think, Jinan. The kind man who helped me invited me to visit him in No. 17 School, where he worked, ‘any time at all’.

Did you see how many student are there?

Regard to the manner of Chinese,it is not true. Chinese always treat foreigner much much better than local persons, especially when they meet European.Chinese people is very friendsly with strangers!

I am not sure when you are joking, and when you are serious …:-(
