The unexpected death of Zhang Shoucheng, a Chinese physicist at Stanford University who was touted as a possible candidate for winning the Nobel Prize, has continued to generate a lot of discussion on Chinese social media—especially with regards to the venture capital (VC) company that he founded. 
Zhang committed suicide in San Francisco on Dec. 1. According to his family’s statement, the late professor had periodic bouts of depression prior to his death.
