Features: Comrade Zheng Feng's work can be said to be a product of the combination of passion and rational thinking. In fact, Comrade Zheng Feng's research on this issue is not only extremely interested but also has a long history. As early as the mid-1980s, when he was still working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he had already started engaging with this research field. After returning to Hainan for work in the early 1990s, he focused on the study of sustainable development in Hainan and co-published two works with others. Starting from the new millennium, his doctoral dissertation and postdoctoral research have always revolved around this proposition, and in practical work, he has placed great emphasis on exploring the specific practices of urban sustainable development. I believe that the combination of high passion and a scientific and cautious attitude, as well as a simple respect for reality and a unified systematic theoretical analysis, constitute the most prominent features of Comrade Zheng Feng's academic work. At the same time, they also form the reason why people should respect this work and the research attitude and academic style of the author as reflected in the writing. The issues and fields involved in sustainable development are very broad, and both its theoretical construction and practical application are in the preliminary stage.
