Ren Zhengfei

Chinese businessman

Ren Zhengfei made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Ren Zhengfei as Chinese businessman.

Ren Zhengfei was born at Zhenning Buyei and Miao Autonomous County in 1944. His recorded nationality is People's Republic of China. He was educated at Chongqing Jianzhu University.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Ren Zhengfei is described as entrepreneur and businessperson.

His affiliations include Huawei.

The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

His work was formally recognised with the 100 Outstanding Private Entrepreneurs in the 40 Years of Reform and Opening-up.

Working from People's Republic of China shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Ren Zhengfei is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
