Mengzhen is a rare genius in the world. His memory is strong, and his understanding is strong. He can do intricate work like a needle in a haystack, yet he also possesses bold and decisive abilities. He is a scholar capable of doing research, and at the same time, he is a natural leader with organizational talent. His emotions are passionate and often explosive, yet he is also gentle, rational, and well-organized, making him a lovable and approachable person. These are rare qualities that are rarely combined in one person, yet our Mengzhen truly possesses all these hard-to-combine virtues and talents. — Hu Shi
