Lù Jīngqīng ( Chinese  陆晶清 , actually 陆秀珍; * 1907 ; † 1993 ) was a Chinese poet, essayist and foreign correspondent.

Life

The writer grew up in the Chinese province of Yunnan . After her mother committed suicide in 1922, she left her father, a literature-loving antiques dealer, in Kunming to attend Beijing University to study literature at Beijing Women's Normal University (北京 女子 an Universität ). Her courses also include a Lu Xun literature course . During her studies she edited the magazine The Wild Rose Weekly together with her fellow student Shí Píngméi (schrift 评 梅) . The publication of the magazine was stopped when Shí Píngméi died in 1928. For Lù Jīngqīng it was a great loss.

In 1931 Lù Jīngqīng married the publicist Wáng Lǐxī (王礼 锡) in Tokyo . The couple stayed in Tokyo until 1933. In the following years until 1938 they traveled through Europe, their main place of residence was London. From here the couple wrote and translated for various Chinese and English newspapers and magazines.

After returning to the Republic of China, Wáng Lǐxī fell seriously ill and died in 1939.

In 1940, Lù Jīngqīng published the Sǎodàng bào (扫荡 报) at schools in Chongqing . In 1945 she went back to London. Here she was later to report for the Peace Daily (和平 日报) from the Paris Peace Conference in 1946 .

In 1965, before the Cultural Revolution , she retired.
