Born October 20, 1930 in Taizhou, Jiangsu,^[2] he did his undergraduate study at the department of Mathematics, Shandong University and obtained his postgraduate degree from the Department of Mathematics of Zhejiang University in 1952.^[3] His advisor was Chen Jiangong who was the dean of Zhejiang University's math department.

1952, he went to Fudan University in Shanghai, became an assistant. 1954, he became a lecturer, and 1956, gained an associate professor position. In September 1957, he was sent to the Moscow State University in USSR and did one year of research there. 1978, he obtained his professorship in Fudan and rose to the vice director of the Fudan University Mathematics Research Institute. 1980, he was elected to the member of Chinese Academy of Science, and also became a shared-professor for Chinese Academy of Science Mathematical Physics Research Institute and Shandong University Department of Mathematics. He was a visiting professor of many universities and gave lectures.

In early 1980s, he went to USA, 1984, became a professor in the Department of Mathematics, Vanderbilt University.
