I am devastated to hear this heartbreaking news about Zeng Qing-Wen. Professor Zeng has been a colleague, a dear friend - and truly a good and nice person - to me, my wife and all other people of Magnoliaceae. I am completely stunned and saddened by this tragic accident.

 

Please extend my sincere condolences to all his friends and colleagues at SCBG, others that knew him and to his wife and daughter.

 

He will be greatly missed. We have been friends for 14 years. I cannot believe he is gone.

 

Sincerely,

Richard B. (Dick) Figlar
