"Zhou xiansheng's mind is still sharp as a tack, and every day he sits
at his little desk to write articles and books on the tiny Sharp
typewriter that he helped design (the first workable electronic Chinese
typewriter; pinyin inputting, of course, and using floppy disks for
storage). All of this is quite remarkable for a man who was born while
the Manchus still ruled China."
An amazing man. Via glyn moody.
