Lu Wenfu (, March 23, 1927 – July 9, 2005) was a contemporary Chinese writer. He was interested in literature from an early age and devoted all his life to it. He worked for many years as journalist and a magazine editor and served as president of the Jiangsu Writers' Association (:zh:江蘇作家協會, 江苏作家协会) and vice president of the Chinese Writers' Association (:zh:中國作家協會, 中国作家协会). Lu's life ended in Suzhou, his favorite city in Jiangsu province. All his work is a mirror of this old city and that's why his novels are generally regarded as ''Suzhou literature''. He is famous for his first story ''Deep within a Lane (小巷深处)''. From then on, Lu started producing a lot of fictions and essays.
