Biography

Born in Yueqing, Ni studied for his master's degree at Columbia University in the United States, and later taught at Great China University.[1] He was elected to represent Chekiang Province in the parliament through the 1947 legislative elections.[2] Ni served as Vice President of the Legislative Yuan, before replacing Huang Guo-shu in the top leadership position as Huang had resigned due to health reasons.[1] Ni was replaced as President of the Yuan by Liu Kwo-tsai in October 1988 when he first attempted to resign,[3] but did not relinquish his legislative seat until December 1988, when his resignation was approved.[4]

Ni was married to Shirley Kuo until his death on 3 June 2006 at Cathay General Hospital in Taipei.[2][5]
