- Lanfang Mei was born on October 22, 1894 in Beijing, China. He was an actor and writer, known for Remorse at Death (1948), Tiannu san hua (1920) and Luo shen (1955). He was married to Meng Hsiao-Tung (actress). He died on August 8, 1961 in Beijing, China.
- SpouseMeng Hsiao-Tung (actress)(? - August 8, 1961) (his death, 4 children)
- Must be one of the few performers who got two obituaries in the New York Times. The Japanese reported him dead of poisoning in 1943 which the Times posted as unconfirmed along with a review of Lanfang's career. Interesting that he died on August 8, the same day and month given in the premature obituary.
