Second, let the construction unit draw expense in advance according to a certain proportion of the construction cost, used as fund for maintenance and compensation, in case the construction unit run away after completing a project and no one is responsible of it. In March that year, an official of the State Infrastructure Commission called Professor Hua Zheng, and told him that, these suggestions would be taken into account when relevant regulations were made.

Professor Hua Zheng knows that, it’s highly unlikely that his proposals to be adopted, "but it’s better that there are proposals than nothing. As long as there is a ray of hope, I’ll do something with patriotism. "

He sent the article to Chengfa Ruan accompanied by a letter, and Chengfa Ruan replied immediately, and thanked the three students and Professor Hua Zheng.

He likes to read books and newspapers, to know information about the nation and the world. When he has some ideas, he writes them down, and publishes the article in his blog called "The Fisherman’s Voice and Recommendations". "I also want to keep pace with the times, and to participate in the life of society. "He is very satisfied with his own state.
