Early one morning in April of 1987, the Chinese mathematician J.
-Q. Zhong died unexpectedly of a heart attack in New York. He was
then near the end of a one-year visit in the United States. When
news of his death reached his Chinese-American friends, it was
immediately decided by one and all that something should be done to
preserve his memory. The present volume is an outgrowth of this
sentiment. His friends in China have also established a Zhong
Jia-Qing Memorial Fund, which has since twice awarded the Zhong
Jia-Qing prizes for Chinese mathematics graduate students. It is
hoped that at least part of the reasons for the esteem and
affection in which he was held by all who knew him would come
through in the succeeding pages of this volume. The three survey
chapters by Li and Treibergs, Lu, and Siu (Chapters 1-3) all center
around the areas of mathematics in which Zhong made noteworthy
contributions. In addition to putting Zhong's mathematical
contributions in perspective, these articles should be useful also
to a large segment of the mathematical community; together they
give a coherent picture of a sizable portion of contemporary
geometry. The survey of Lu differs from the other two in that it
gives a firsthand account of the work done in the People's Republic
of China in several complex variables in the last four decades.
