Accustomed to the Huangpu River's night-shattering foghorns, Teng says, "I'm still striving to achieve my dream of becoming a great architect by the time I'm 70. I hope that when I go back to Taiwan someday people in Taiwan will carry me on their shoulders like a returning hero because of my achievements here in Shanghai and they'll give me the opportunity to show them what I've got."
「我一直在作自己七十歲成為大建築師的夢想。牆外開花牆裡紅，有朝一日我還是要回台灣，讓台北人真正給我機會，讓台北人用八人大轎抬我回去，」已經適應了黃埔江夜半擾人船鳴聲的登琨艷這麼說。
