If you are talking about Ts'ai Lun the Chinese 'inventor of paper', another more common name is Cai Lun.

He was born in China in 50 AD, in Guiyang (today Leiyang).

Explanation:

He is often regarded as the inventor of paper, but you must remember that paper was around in Ancient Egypt (which was made out of Papyrus, reason why paper is called, paper) & early forms of paper had existed in China before 50 AD (since the 2nd century BC) but the 'inventor of paper' merely improving paper drastically & standardizing paper making by adding new essential materials to it.

Hope this helps.
