Question

Zhou Youguang, who created(创造) Chinese Pinyin, died on January 14th 2017, just one day after his 112nd birthday.

It took Mr. Zhou and his team three years to create Pinyin in the 1950s. It changed the way we learned Chinese. Before Pinyin was created, 85% of Chinese people could not read, but now almost all can. “Pinyin is a bridge between China and the other countries,” said Zhou.

When Zhou was young, he studied in Japan. Later, he worked in a bank in New York. At that time, he made friends with Albert Einstein. He returned to China in 1949 and taught economics(经济学) at a university in Shanghai. A few years later, he helped create Chinese Pinyin.
