From 1987 to 1993, China's press and printing
industry underwent great technical reform, bidding farewell to traditional
letterpress printing while greeting the era of photo typesetting by computer.
This huge development can be credited to Professor Wang Xuan, of Peking (Beijing
) University's Computer Research Institute.
It was Wang who invented the Chinese character laser-photo-typesetting system that has led Chinese character printing into the electrical and digital age. Hence, being recognized as having made the most significant contributions to the modernization of China's press and printing industry, he has been hailed as the "Bi Sheng of the Modern Times" and the "Father of the Chinese character laser-photo-typesetting system."

Wang Xuan was born in East China's Shanghai Municipality in 1937. At the age of 17, he was admitted to Peking University and began his study as a major in Mathematics and Mechanics in 1954. Upon graduation in 1958, he stayed at his alma mater and became a teacher of the Mathematics and Mechanic Department. A year later, he transferred to the Radio Department, where he stayed until 1978.
