Zhang Xichen (Chinese: 章锡琛; pinyin: Zhāng Xīchēn; 24 September 1889 – 5 June 1969) was a Chinese editor who founded the publishing firm Kaiming Press. Born to a family of poor merchants near Shaoxing, he received traditional tutoring, failed to pass the civil service exams, and was forced to drop out of a private school in order to enter an arranged marriage when he was 17. He established a rudimentary primary school for his hometown, enrolling in a normal school after an inspector refused to certify him. He grew close to the school's principal, who found him employment at the Shanghai publisher Commercial Press in 1912.
