Early life and education

edit

Lu was born in Cishan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Her father, Lu Jianzhi (けんこころざし), was a doctor and director of the Ministry of Health and Welfare Pingtung Hospital [zh].[5] Her mother, Jiang Meiying (蔣美さくら), was a teacher at Cishan Junior High.[5]

Lu's paternal grandfather, Lu Laozhi (ろうえだ), was a well known figure in Cishan during the period of Japanese rule due to an incident that reportedly happened during World War II when he was studying in Japan. At a military parade in Tokyo, a Japanese flag fell under one of the vehicles. Lu Laozhi made the vehicle stop and crawled underneath to pull the flag out, drawing a round of applause, newspaper coverage, and later on even a mention in Japanese primary school textbooks. After returning to Taiwan, Lu Laozhi became the principal of Cishan Junior High.[5]

Lu Li'an attended Kaohsiung Municipal Kaohsiung Girls' Senior High School.[2] In September 1986 she started studying at Taiwan's National Chengchi University, and in June 1990 she graduated from NCCU's Department of Western Languages and Literature (later renamed the Department of English). From September 1991 to December 1992, she got her master's degree from the English literature department at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. In September 1993, she started a PhD program in English literature at the University of Glasgow, and she graduated in December 1999.[2][3] While in the UK, she met Shen Yifan (沈一), born in Taichung but of mainland Chinese descent, who was a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. They were married in a no-frills civil ceremony.[2][6][7][8][9]

Career

edit

In 1997, Lu and her husband accepted an invitation from the Chinese Ministry of Human Resources [zh] to move to Shanghai as "experts returning to China to settle" (かえし国定こくていきょ专家).[2] She joined Fudan University's College of Foreign Languages and Literature, where she was a lecturer from 1997 to February 2001, an associate professor from March 2001 to December 2013, and a full professor starting in December 2013.[3] Her areas of research include British literature, twentieth-century British novels, gender studies, feminism, sociology of literature, life writing, and Hans Christian Andersen.[3] From September 2009 to June 2010, she undertook advanced studies on a Fulbright scholarship at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the English department of the University of Michigan.[3]

In 2003 Lu became a member of the Shanghai Political Bureau.[1] She has served as a member of the Political Consultative Conference Shanghai committee and the Shanghai Women's League.[1][10] In September 2013, she became president of the Shanghai Taiwan Compatriots Friendship Association, while continuing to work as a professor, PhD supervisor, and assistant dean.[2][11] In 2015 she joined the Communist Party.[11][12]

At the Communist Party's National Conference of Taiwan Province Party Members from 19 to 21 June 2017, Lu was one of ten delegates elected to represent Taiwan Province at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She was the only delegate who was born and raised in Taiwan, the other nine being of Taiwanese descent but mainland born.[2] In October 2017, Lu attended the 19th National Congress as a delegate and took questions from the media.[10] She said she was "proud to be a daughter of Taiwan and proud to be Chinese",[11][13] and argued that there is no contradiction between "loving Taiwan and loving the mainland".[14][5] On 5 October, Katharine Chang, minister of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, confirmed that Lu had been born in Taiwan and had obtained PRC citizenship and said that the Taiwanese government respected her decision.[15] On 26 October, the Taiwanese government indicated that Lu and her son's ROC residency (戶籍こせき) had been revoked (her husband's residency had already been revoked in 2015).[4][8][14][16]

Lu received a 2017 "Touching China" (かん动中こく) award.[17]

She was a delegate to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.[18][19]
