Zhu Bangfu's life

Before middle age

Mr. Zhu Bangfu was born in 1937 65438+ 10/2, and his native place is Huanggang County, Hubei Province (now belongs to Yangluo Town, Xinzhou District, Wuhan City). His father Zhu Huaibing graduated from Baoding Military Academy. He used to be the commander of the 97th Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army and the chief of staff of the Fifth Theater to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, as well as the civil affairs director of the Hubei Provincial Government, the acting chairman and secretary general of the Taiwan Provincial Government, and the national policy adviser of the "Presidential Office". He is an important figure in Taiwan's military and political circles. Mother Wang Channa is from Liyang, Jiangsu. When I was a child, I experienced the war in China, moved around, and finally settled in Taiwan Province Province at the age of middle school entrance. In middle school, my mother died of illness, while my father was originally a soldier with a strong explosive personality, which prompted him to bury himself in novels and music. And develop a habit of thinking. I have been studying until I graduated from the Department of Agriculture of Taiwan Province Provincial Agricultural College (now National Zhongxing University). After retiring from the army, he worked in Hualien Agricultural School for a short time as a middle school teacher, and then went to Brazil to develop and specialize in theoretical composition at the Brazilian National Bahia Conservatory of Music.

After that, I stayed in the United States for a while, and then I returned to Taiwan Province because of my father's funeral. Then I went back to Brazil to invest, lived as a hippie for a while, and finally worked in a local publishing house. At the age of 37, Zhu Bangfu worked in Brazil's April Culture Publishing House. One day, I witnessed the publishing process of a book. Under the typesetting method of that year, it only took 12 hours for an English book to be sent from the manuscript to the workshop, from typing, proofreading, sorting and printing to being sent to the market for sale. At that time, the publication of a Chinese document usually took at least half a year. After deeply studying the publishing process, he thinks that the bottleneck of Chinese lies in the text retrieval system-Chinese has no concept of order at all. At that time, Chinese mainly used phonetic notation, radical and stroke number as retrieval methods, but this method could not provide enough accuracy and order for retrieval.

Recognizing the backwardness of China's printing technology, I turned to improve China's printing technology. I bought several dictionaries at first and kept cutting and pasting, trying to find out the composition of Chinese characters. After that, I returned to Taiwan Province Province to continue my research.

At that time, traditional Chinese characters were still used in Chinese typesetting technology in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, but typesetting was time-consuming and laborious, and there were endless voices calling for changing to English and abandoning Chinese characters. On the other hand, the mainland pursues simplified characters and latinization (later abandoned). In order to greatly reduce the printing cost, the number of fonts is reduced year by year.

Since there were no Chinese terminals in Zhu Bangfu at that time (large computers were popular at that time, and personal computers were not yet popular and practical), Zhu Bangfu and Ms. Shen Honglian decided to use the search system on the computer to practice, so that English terminals could handle Chinese characters. Since then, there have been many negative voices in the society. The business community is not optimistic about the computer market in China and is unwilling to invest. Academics (scientists and technicians) advocate taking this opportunity to eliminate Chinese and ridicule it in person. Lonely and helpless, they still stick to their ideas. A year or two later, with the help of friends, they set up a computer company. Later, with the technical support of Mr. Acer Computer History, we developed a Chinese computer together. 1980, together with Acer, we published the world's first Chinese computer with "Chinese operating system, Chinese programming language and Chinese software package"-Tianlong Chinese Computer, with a price of NT$ 750,000. In the second year, the China terminal was developed; The speed of Chinese processing has improved to an unprecedented level, so China people in Taiwan Province and Hongkong praised it as "the father of Chinese computer". Later, Zhu Bangfu established the Zero One Computer Company to provide cultural services in computer for manufacturers at low prices. Later, in order to make computers more popular in China, Zhu Bangfu announced in the newspaper that he would give up the patent right of Cangjie input method, hoping that China people would study it together. This makes the Cangjie input method very popular in Taiwan Province and Hongkong.

Design Hanka: Although China computer was born in Zhu Bangfu, its price is too high to be popularized. In order to provide a cheaper Chinese computer, Zhu Bangfu took advantage of the craze of Apple II computer (a personal computer that became popular before IBM PC) at that time and developed the Chinese interface of this computer-"Hanka", which cost1NT$ 500 yuan, making it cheaper for China people to use computers to handle Chinese. In order to give full play to the potential of Chinese information, Zhu Bangfu announced that it was willing to disclose all technologies, with a discount of NT$ 6,543,800+million, and sold the shares of Zero One Company to serve China Computer wholeheartedly. This proposal was recognized by the relevant personnel of Taiwan Province Information Society, and the technicians of three companies, Wang An, Acer and Shentong, were entrusted to make a detailed appraisal of Zero One Company. Zhu Bangfu made a public explanation in the Information Society, and got the assurance of CEO Guo Yun and Deputy CEO Huang Weide. After reporting to the superior for ruling, they will definitely reply to the final result of the government takeover case before the beginning of March 1983. However, at that time, Taiwan Province Province was planning a Chinese standard, Zhu Bangfu proposed a Chinese system scheme that could accommodate more than 50,000 characters, and the Strategic Planning Committee proposed a standard of13,000 characters (that is, the big five yards). At that time, Zhu Bangfu strongly opposed its defects, but it was trapped in party member (the Taiwan Strait is still in a state of confrontation, and Taiwan Province Province is still in the martial law era). 1in March, 983, Zhu Bangfu was forced to leave Taiwan Province province, and all the ownership of company 01 was transferred to employees. Ms Shen Du Honglian followed her to the United States to continue her Chinese information career.

After martial law was lifted in Taiwan Province Province, Zhu Bangfu returned to Taiwan Province on 1990, and lived in Taitung and Yangmei successively. During this period, I cooperated with the Resource Planning Committee to introduce China culture in Windows 3.0. When Microsoft proposed to acquire Chinese culture and technology, Zhu Bangfu offered $60 million. Subsequently, Microsoft abandoned the acquisition, adopted Japanese Chinese character technology, launched a new version of Windows, and stopped the window authorization of the policy committee; After losing Microsoft's main force, the policy Committee of Windows 3.0 faded out of the market. And Zhu Bangfu, with his disciples, retired from Taiwan Province.

Date of publication: 1999, Zhu Bangfu was invited by Hong Kong Cultural Communication Company to serve as the vice chairman of Cultural Communication Group. So he moved to Macau and carried out a series of Chinese information projects, among which Cang Xie e-book (Chinese e-book bag) and China CPU (Yixin CPU series and Tianlong CPU series) have been completed. During this period, the genetic theory of Chinese characters was published, and on the basis of this theory, an understanding system that can analyze Chinese characters was developed, and a graphic system was developed as an application of the understanding system. During his stay in Wen Chuan, Zhu Bangfu also carried out many projects. In February 2006, Wenchuan cancelled the Ministry of Information due to operational problems, and a large number of plans ended ahead of schedule. At this time, Zhu Bangfu was 70 years old. Due to his limited brain power, he turned to the development of graphics systems. Later, the Molu Art Workshop was established, and its planning was to animate a series of ancient books with graphic system and spread traditional virtues.
