Luan Fu was originally a talented student from Taipei University. He was wanted by the Guomindang for drawing cartoons satirizing Chiang Kai-shek's regime, so in 1949, he smuggled himself on a freighter from Taiwan to the mainland to join the revolution. He was sent to Shanxi University to continue his studies and stayed to teach after graduation. He taught 13 courses and translated books in 15 languages. Because he came from Taiwan, he always said that he was a spy, but there was no place to check. He became a "veteran athlete" in successive political campaigns. He developed cancer as a result of injuries sustained during criticism campaigns.
