He is also a renowned scholar renowned for his reputation in the world. During the rampant days of the “Gang of Four,” he had been brutally pushed aside, not only had his books and documents accumulated over a long period of time be swirled, but his body had also been severely weathered. However, he did not discourage himself. Instead, he persevered with forgetfulness and forgotten from scratch. From scratch, his constant struggle made outstanding contributions to the motherland’s scientific and cultural undertakings. He is indeed a learned man.
