The Man Who Revolutionized Chinese Writing: Zhou Youguang, Inventor of Pinyin
Zhou Youguang, also known as the father of Pinyin (romanized Chinese characters) had probably one of the most interesting lives in modern Chinese History.
Born in the Jiangsu province in 1906, Zhou Youguang came from a respectably wealthy family that was until they lost most of their fortune during the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Despite financial difficulties he managed to get a degree in economics in Shanghai and then moved Japan to continue his studies, that was until war between China and Japan broke out and he was forced to move back to China. After the war he moved to America and worked on Wall Street and apparently met albert Einstein twice!
