About this title

Synopsis

无论是在地铁上,超市排队结账时,还是上班的空当,我们都能用手指以惊人的速度在智能手机触摸屏幕上完成滑、点、拖、发送等一系列操作。键盘输入法已经与搜索引擎、手机游戏和购物软件密切捆绑,从北京发出的中文信息也会即刻显示在上海、纽约或伦敦的电子屏幕上。 然而,从设计官话字母方案,在打字机上加装汉字,到图书馆分类、国语罗马字、汉字拉丁化,直至今天的键盘输入法,中国人经过一个多世纪的辗转、奋斗、忍辱负重。一系列大规模技术变革险些让汉字被世界抛弃,是冒着死刑风险重新"发明汉语"的流亡者,倡导普及普通话的大胆革新者,在茶杯盖上设计汉字输入码的工程师……让汉字为全球贸易和数字技术所用,让今天的中国成为世界的重要力量。 如今,中国正在成为人工智能、自动化、量子自然语言处理、机器翻译等各领域的标准制定者。与现代化抗衡的古老文明早已从追赶中蜕变,中国人将用汉字设计属于自己的未来。
