Tsien Tsuen-hsuin
Tsien Tsuen-hsuin (; 11 January 19109 April 2015), also known as T.H. Tsien, was a Chinese sinologist and librarian who served as a professor of Chinese Literature and Library Science at the University of Chicago, and was also curator of its East Asian Library from 1949 to 1978. He is known for studies of the history of the Chinese book, Chinese bibliography, paleography, and science and technology, especially the history of paper and printing in China, notably ''Paper and Printing'', Volume 5 Pt 1 of Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China.〔( Tsuen-hsuin "TH" Tsien )''Chicago Sun-Times'' April 12, 2015〕 He is also known for risking his life to smuggle tens of thousands of rare books outside of Japanese-occupied China during World War II.〔
==Early life==
Tsien was born on January 11, 1910 in Taixian (modern Taizhou), Jiangsu Province, to a prominent family that descended from King Qian Liu, founder of the Wuyue kingdom. He began the memoir of his life by saying "I was born during the reign of the last Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty."〔(T.H. Tsien Turns 100 ) ''Tableau'' Spring 2010〕 His father Qian Weizhen ()〔 was a prominent scholar of Buddhism, and his great grandfather Qian Guisen ()〔 was a member of the Hanlin Academy.
Tsien began his education with a private tutor in 1916, and then entered Taixian No. 2 Senior Elementary School. He became active in political agitation when he was a student at Huaidong High School (now Taizhou High School).〔 After graduating in 1925, he joined the "Youth Society" in Taizhou and edited its journal. Due to their political activities, Tsien and his colleagues were arrested by the Jiangsu warlord Sun Chuanfang. His family managed to secure his release, but the principal of Huaidong High School was executed.〔 Unable to remain in Taizhou, he left for Nanking (Nanjing) and never returned to his hometown again.〔 In 1927, he enlisted in the army to take part in the Northern Expedition's military campaign to unite China under the Nationalist government.
