Biography

Zha was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu, on April 11, 1925,[1] the son of Zha Qian, a physicist and the first president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. His ancestral home was in Jing County, Anhui.[2] He joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1949. In 1950 he graduated from Wuhan University, where he majored in chemistry. From 1957 to 1959, he went to Moscow State University to study under electrochemist Alexander Frumkin. He returned to China in 1959 and that year became teacher at his alma mater. In August 1977, he was invited to attend a scientific and educational symposium held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, at which he first proposed that the college entrance examination should be resumed, with Deng Xiaoping's consent.[3] He was promoted to Professor in 1978 and Chair of the Department of Chemistry of Wuhan University the following year. He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980. He died on August 1, 2019 at the age of 94.[4]

gollark: I'll admit the code is a bit bad now but PotatOS Hypercycle is coming soon with *major* refactors.
gollark: <@!259973943060856833> Like what?
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: PotatOS is able to make omnidisks somewhat unduplicateable, *but* that only works because their value comes from being cryptographically signed and able to run in privileged mode on potatOS - you can run them anywhere else, it just won't be useful.
gollark: Anyway, you can't really copy-protect software in CC. At all. The best you can do is use a bunch of obfuscation techniques together to make it mildly hard to do anything with it, and add some code to check computer ID or something.
