    Richard Sears was not known well in China until his story of spending all his money in studying Chinese characters was reported online in 2012. People gave him the nickname “Uncle Hanzi”.

Mr. Sears was once a computer engineer in the USA. When he was young, he developed an interest in Chinese characters. In 1972, when Sears was only 22, he decided to learn Chinese in Taiwan.

After several years of study, Sears still found writing Chinese characters difficult. One piece of advice he received was to learn the evolution(演化)of Chinese characters, because it could help him remember them.

In 1990, Mr. Sears came up with the idea of sharing his studies of Chinese characters on the website. In 2002, Mr. Sears made the website free for anyone who was interested. Just by typing a Chinese character on his website, people can find out the shapes and evolution of the character.

“Many people think I am crazy – spending all my money and time on the website. But for me, it’s just an interest,” Mr.Sears said.

Years of living in China has turned “Uncle Hanzi” into “Grandpa Hanzi’’，but one thing that hasn’t changed is the love Mr. Sears has for Chinese characters.
