Bai Shouyi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bai Shouyi (Traditional 白壽彝; Simplified 白寿彝; Pinyin: Bái Shòuyì) (February 1909 – March 21, 2000) was a prominent Chinese Muslim historian, thinker, social activist and ethnologist who revolutionized recent Chinese historiography and pioneered in relying heavily on scientific excavations and reports. A Marxist philosophically, his studies thus take a very class-centric view and reasoning. Born a son of a Hui merchant in Kaifeng, he became literate in Arabic from his mother and aunt.

He died in Beijing at the age of 91.
