'''Lu Shengkui''' (1822–1889) was a [[Qing dynasty]] [[Peking opera]] artist and dramatist based in [[Beijing]] who specialized in ''[[laosheng]]'' roles, or old gentlemen. Unlike most performers, he was from a literate family of officials and received a good early education. He only joined the theatre troupe after failing the [[imperial examination]]. In addition to performing, he wrote several plays for the Three Celebrations Company (三慶班), based on older story cycles.
