Founding Father, signer of the Declaration of Independence, first US Vice President under Washington and second President (1797-1801). Don't confuse with his son 约翰·昆西·亚当斯 (John Quincy Adams), the 6th president. The same name in modern contexts may refer to American minimalist composer John Adams (《尼克松在中国》 'Nixon in China').
