Famous Redology scholar Zhou Ruchang died at home on Thursday at 1:59 a.m., according to his daughter Zhou Lunling. He was 95.
據(jù)周汝昌先生之女周倫玲所言，這位著名的紅學(xué)家于周四凌晨在家中去世，享年95歲。

Zhou was born in north China's Tianjin in 1918. Since the foundation of People's Republic of China in 1949, Zhou was the first scholar to study "Dream of the Red Chamber," one of China's Four Great Classical Novels.
周汝昌于1918年生于天津咸水沽鎮(zhèn)。他是1949年新中國成立以來，研究《紅樓夢》的第一人，是享譽(yù)海內(nèi)外的考證派主力和集大成者。

Zhou published dozens of works exclusively devoted to the "Dream of the Red Chamber." Most readers believed that the first 80 chapters of the novel were written by Cao Xueqin and that Gao E added 40 additional chapters to complete it. But Zhou believed that Cao had written the entire novel, although the additional chapters had been lost. Zhou published his research on the additional chapters of the book and presented a complete version of the real "Dream of the Red Chamber.
周汝昌一生著述六十多部，其中多數(shù)是和紅學(xué)研究有關(guān)。大多數(shù)讀者都認(rèn)為《紅樓夢》的前80章是曹雪芹本人撰寫的，而后40章是高鶚?biāo)m(xù)。但周老認(rèn)為是曹雪晴本人寫了整本小說，盡管其中的一部分章節(jié)丟失了。周汝昌先生發(fā)表了對于《紅樓夢》后續(xù)章節(jié)的研究，并展現(xiàn)了一個《紅樓夢》的完整版本。
