This guy is cool: being raised by teachers, spending time in nature and avoiding politics is pretty astute. What a shame he didn't live to see the era where open source observations on iNaturalist et al could allow him to do international field work by proxy in his old age. I think we will hang a picture of him in our company office (foodtech robotics in China).
He really picked an interesting retirement spot: Hainan is a tropical island known for surfing, sailing, obtaining US spy planes, former cultural and ethnographic diversity including Austronesian and Tai, an influx of Russians to the point where the street signs are in bizzarro alt-Blacksea cyrillic, and alleged tests of GFW-free internet in China. The powers that be are giving lip service to setting it up as an HK-alternative investment gateway to China with proximity to SEA, perhaps largely just to spite HK.
