The first year of "Computer News": Chen Zongzhou founded the 30th anniversary of the Computer Newspaper Computer News

Chen Zongzhou founded the "Computer News"

No. 3 Shuanggang Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing City, the Science and Technology Association building jointly built by the Computer Newspaper and the Municipal Science and Technology Association stands tall and stands on the side of the Pentium Jialing River.

Thirty years ago, the building had not been dialed. There were only a few rows of bungalows on the original site.

The computer popularization activity center was established in 1984. That year, Comrade Deng Xiaoping inspected Shanghai and proposed that "computer popularization must start with dolls", which set off a climax of learning computer throughout the country. Chen Zongzhou, the person in charge of the popularity center, has been thinking about. What is the business that the center can develop for a long time?

To this end, he has sold a single board machine, trained in a training course, and even thought of renting a facade to open a company to the computer market to run computer accessories and assembly PCs.

On this day, he came out of the Association for Science and Technology with Chen Dengfan, the Minister of Science and Technology of the Municipal Science and Technology Association. The two discussed warmly and walked to the office of the computer popularization center. When the sky was slightly dark, when he walked to the gate of the alma mater Bashu Middle School next to him, Chen Zongzhou suddenly flashed and could not help but blurt it out: "Deng Fan, we can apply for a report! A computer popularization newspaper."

Initially, he named the newspaper in his heart as "Middle School Computer News". Later, when he was formally applied, he felt that the audience could be wider, so he removed the word "middle school".

In order to establish the "Computer News", the Computer Popularization Activity Center and Chongqing University jointly hosted a municipal -level soft scientific research topic: "The current situation and prospect of home computers in Chongqing". Chen Zongzhou always believes that as the computer enters the office, it will enter the family sooner or later. As the computer is widely used in society, it will also be widely used in the family.

The results of the survey made Chen Zongzhou very encouraged. At that time, there were two or three thousand families in Chongqing used computers, and the grade of home computers began to change from eight machines to sixteen machines. The popularity of computer popularization was faster than expected. This topic has been completed by seven scientific researchers for more than a year. Through questionnaires and follow -up, more than 3,000 copies are sampled, collecting a large amount of data and data at home and abroad, strict analysis, and convincing.

During the application of newspapers, many people were helped. Marshal Nie Rongzhen, then the director of the State Defense Science and Technology Commission, wrote to the "Computer News"; the famous writer Ma Shitu not only wrote a trial issue, but also wrote to his friends in Beijing to get support. There were also leaders of the Chongqing Association of Science and Technology and Southwest Normal University at that time, all of which have made a lot of power for the establishment of the Computer News.

In the early 1990s, the state was rectifying the existing newspapers and periodicals. It was even more difficult to apply for a new newspaper. However, there is a belief in Chen Zongzhou: What we have to do is a good thing that is beneficial to the people and the people, not for ourselves, what can be worried about?

The application process is ups and downs, and they can't see the hope of success several times. Although Chen Zongzhou and Chen Dengfan flashed the discouraged thoughts, they carefully didn't talk about a topic, that is, "failure". If someone really mentioned at that time, the application may die.

How much suffering Chen Zongzhou had eaten in the process of applying, he never said that there were few things that were passed out of the other population.

In 1991, the Sichuan Provincial Press and Publication Bureau passed the application for the establishment of the "Computer News". On January 28, Chen Zongzhou took the train to Beijing. Early the next morning after arriving in Beijing, Chen Zongzhou went to the Press and Publication Department to learn about the situation. When he returned that night, Chen Dengfan wrote a letter to Chen Dengfan, Minister of the Popularization Department of the Municipal Science Association who stayed in Chongqing.

"Deng Fan:

Last night, I arrived in Beijing, and I lived in Room 715, headline of the Gonggong Tribute Trig Gong Institute No. 5 in Jianguo Gongyuan, with a postcode of 100005. There was no phone call in the room. I went to the Press and Publication Department to find the secretary of the director Wang Tao this morning. I was very enthusiastic about me and introduced the situation very carefully ...

It seems that Ma Lao's role is critical. In the final analysis, it is a piece of information about your information. By the way, please send a manuscript fee to Ma Lao and give a greeting greeting.

Not much to say, I am a "death team" in Beijing. If you have something to do, please don't be polite.

good luck!

Zong Zhou 1991.1.30 "

Four months later, the Press and Publication Agency agreed to the "Computer News" from the internal newspaper to the approval of formal newspapers. At this time, from the official consent of the Science and Technology Association to apply for the "Computer News", it happened for a year and a half.

▷ On January 3, 1992, "Computer News" was founded

Record China's IT Fengyun

At the beginning of the "Computer News", a column was very happy, "Computer Time and Space". The origin of this column must start with a visit by IDG President Mai Gaowen.

In 1994, the President of IDG Mai Gaowen came to the newspaper to visit, accompanied him, and sometimes the president of Asia, Xiong Xiaoge. Xiong graduated from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. During his trip to the United States, he has been a senior journalist in the Asian Electronics Herald. Chen Zongzhou has been paying attention to the development of the IT industry. At this time, he has published a series of articles such as "PC Ten Years", "The Mystery of WPS", and "Legend of Bill Gates and Microsoft". At first sight, the two were very speculative.

▷ IDG Capital Global Chairman Xiong Xiaoge

After Xiong Xiaoge returned to the United States, they still often discussed the general trend of the world through international long -distance telephones. Chen Zongzhou later narrated the first conversation between the two people poetically: "Two years ago, in a sunny Xiaoyang spring, the two of us were in Silicon Valley in the United States, a Chongqing in China, and the end of the world. When we were in When I started talking on the international long -distance telephone, I did not expect that this kind of conversation lasted for two years. "Chen Zongzhou thought of recording these conversations on the newspaper, setting up a bridge to communicate the IT industry in China and foreign countries, and opened one for Chinese readers. Fan understands the latest windows of the world IT industry. At that time, CCTV's "Oriental Time and Space" column was very hot. Some of its new expressions and tolerance contents that were pioneered have been loved by many audiences. They were inspired to name this column "Computer Time and Space". "Computer Time and Space" is very inclusive, giving people a sense of depth of time and space.

On February 24, 1995, the first dialogue was published in the "Computer News", the title was "Golden Year of the Asian Information Industry". The two dialogues talked about the development of the Asian IT industry. Taiwan, China, mainland China; also talking about PC, IC, and network from software. The two authors pointed out the rivers and mountains. There is a hopes of heart.

The dialogue between Chen Zongzhou and Xiong Xiaoge lasted for two years. More than 20 wonderful articles recorded a lively and extraordinary history in the history of computer development: the glorious direction decline; the stars quietly rose; PC and NC burned war; Internet swept the world ... Mowing

"Computer Time and Space" is the best model of authoritative and popularity. The style of the article is informative. Starting from telling the story, the two authors have integrated the two authors' consideration of the entire industry. The news reports of the computer newspaper also adopted a large number of such styles, which recorded the magnificent and heroic stories in the history of China's IT development.
