He specialized in visual meteor observations, satellite observations and forecasts of asteroid occultations. Before his death, he also built a small remote control observatory at home. He provided meteor observers with a lot of help and has been recognized by everyone in China for his contributions.So all of China's astronomy enthusiasts were sadden of the news of his death. Chinese astronomy researcher Quanzhi Ye, has submitted an asteroid naming proposal, hoping to commemorate him for his contribution to Chinese astronomy. I think we should all remember his contribution.
