Acerca del autor

Wei Zhang was born in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Province in China. As a child, her favorite book was The Moscow Puzzles by Boris Kordemsky. When Wei was 11 years old, she saw the Chinese Rings puzzle for the first time and immediately fell in love with it. Wei came to North America in 1983 for her education and training in linguistics and computer science. However, she finds it far more intriguing to roam in the world of mechanical puzzles.
