Bai Shouyi

Bai Shouyi was a prominent Muslim historian, thinker, social activist and 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 merchant in Kaifeng, he became literate in from his mother and aunt.

He died in Beijing at the age of 91.
