Lu Yang, a well-known Chinese science fiction author, passed away in Hefei at 5:17 on October 17, 2010. Lu Yang (meaning “Green Poplar”) was born Li Jukang in Shanghai in 1934 to a family from Panyu, Guangdong Province. He was a doctor by profession. After publishing his first work in Science Literature and Arts in 1979, he threw himself into writing and became one of the few writers to emerge from two successive boom-bust cycles and continue writing. In the 1980s, he published science fiction under the pseudonyms “Albatross” and “Green Poplar,” and in the 90s, he published the “Luvenchy” series of stories in Science Fiction World. He subsequently made the jump to novels, writing Adventures of the Gemini, Genetic Ghost, and Angels’ End, which influenced a generation of readers and illustrated an old SF author’s stubborn faith in scientific progress.
