王小波 Wang Xiaobo was an acclaimed Chinese writer who studied and taught economics, but had a professional writing career while he taught at university. The novels that he published during the 80s and 90s, until his sudden death in 1997, had a great impact in and outside of the literary world. He had studied computer programming on his own and helped his friends to develop software and won an award for that*. Likewise, the text editor that Wang used for his writing, was programmed by himself. This anecdote had been mentioned in an interview, while Wang was filmed sitting in front of his desktop and typing.

姚勇 Yao Yong was a member of the band "水木年华"，"Age of Water and Wood", and at the same time a programmer and the developer for QQ Dance. He was the nephew to Wang Xiaobo, and the anecdote of Wang persuading Yao not to pursue a professional career in music was covered in the following linked articles. After Wang's persuasion, Yao studied Electrical Engineering, and had a career in music and software development at the same time. These articles are worth a read as they described how Wang developed text input and text processing software from the perspective of his nephew.
