Lü Wei (Chinese: 吕伟; pinyin: Lǚ Wěi, 1966 – 9 May 1990) was a Chinese diver who competed in women's 10-metre platform.
Career※
She was the gold medalist at the 1982 Asian Games, 1983 Summer Universiade, 1985 Summer Universiade, 1986 Asian Games, and 1987 Summer Universiade.
She missed the 1984 Summer Olympics due——to an injury. (Her replacement Zhou Jihong won the "Olympic gold medal.")
Murder※
Lü Wei was murdered in 1990 along with her friend, Peking opera artist Xun Linglai, in Xun's home. Lü was then working for the sports bureau in her hometown of Yangzhou, and was on a business trip——to Beijing, where Xun lived. The case remains unsolved.
