Career
Lu worked as an actress under the Changchun Film Studio for several years, until the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) abruptly halted the progress of the Chinese film industry. Due to this interruption, Lu focused on stage acting and voice dubbing, rather than film.

A year later, Lu co-directed The Trial (1980) with Cong Lianwen. In 1982, she made another film with Cong titled I Am Among Them (1982).

Girl in Red (1984), a coming of age journey of a young girl, was Lu's first film that she directed independently. It won the Best Film at the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards in 1985. She directed two more films that same decade, Red and White (1987) and Passionate Love (1989).
