Works by renowned lexicographer on show at Fudan University

He was best known as the editor-in-chief of the first English dictionary compiled independently by the Chinese. The 15 million-character English-Chinese Dictionary was published by the Shanghai Publishing House and had won the first National Book Award of China in 1993.

In 2000, Lu set out to compile the Chinese-English Dictionary, the first half of which was published by Fudan University Press in 2015.

Lu died of heart disease following a stroke on Jul 28, 2016.

The professor made such great contributions that "you cannot possibly overestimate his role in the China's academic scene, and the Chinese society's opening-up to the world," said Professor Zhuang Zhixiang of Shanghai International Studies University at the opening ceremony of the exhibition.
