Lu Yi is the head of the Department of Economics at Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management, he joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in May, 2021.

Professor Lu gave up his privileged life in Singapore to return to China to pursue research in economics. He actively interacted with his peers, identified many problems, and was also eager to help them with their teaching and academics.

He used to feel that joining the Party or not would not significantly alter his behavior. His outlook on life and values had already been formed for the most part. But one day, he was inspired by another CPC member Zhang Guimei, a principal and founder of a school in Huaping County, who has spent her entire career providing free education for girls in remote rural areas of Yunnan Province. Lu Yi was very moved and admired her sense of mission and code of conduct of a CPC member.
