Lu Muzhen (1867-1952) was the first wife of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. She married Dr. Sun at the age of eighteen and gave birth to three children: Sun Ke, Sun Yan and Sun Wan. As Sun Yat-sen had to travel all over the world for the revolution, the two of them spent very little time together. After the 1911 Revolution, Lou Mo-ching became disenchanted with being the First Lady and felt that she could not assist Dr. Sun in running the country, so she took the initiative to separate from Dr. Sun and formally divorced in 1915 (the same year that Dr. Sun married Soong Ching-ling), and in her later years she settled down in Macao, where she lived in Rua de Ventas, No. 1, (the site of the present-day Macao Founding Father's Memorial Hall).

Lou Mo-ching became a Christian on April 14, 1915, in Hawaii, USA, and in 1933 was ordained by the Macau Baptist Church as its first minister. A pious man with a passion for helping the poor, she died on September 7, 1952, and was buried in Macau's Old Western Cemetery, then moved to Macau's Taipa Hao Si Forever Cemetery in 1973, where she was reburied in 2005 at the request of the city of Zhongshan in Guangdong Province.

Another version of Lu's divorce from Sun Yat-sen

Lu's marriage to Sun Yat-sen was arranged by both families. She was not highly educated and was ideologically distant from Dr. Sun. On October 25 of the same year, the day after Song Qingling fled to Japan, 49-year-old Sun Yat-sen married 22-year-old Song Qingling.
