In 2005, he was executed for murdering his wife.[1] At the time, it was reported that Lü was the highest-ranking official charged with homicide since the establishment of the People's Republic of China.[2]
Born to a poor family in Yinu Village, Dama Township, Yanling County, Henan Province, Lü became a village cadre as a teenager and was admitted to the Henan Agricultural College (now Henan Agricultural University) as a Worker-Peasant-Soldier student. He later attended Kansas State University, where he received master's and doctoral degrees.
