《中国农村的金融发展--以农村信用合作社的改革为中心(英文版)》：I am most grateful to Professor Masaaki ISHIDA of the Graduate School of Bioresources, Mie University, Japan.

He is very famous in the research of agricultural policies and cooperatives, excelling at micro analy- ses of farmers' action. He has won a lot of academic awards from the Agricul- tural Economics Society of Japan and The Farm Management Society of Ja- pan, etc. He also has great personalities of wisdom, diligence and generos- ity.
