Li Yeming, a director of the Singapore Writers' Association, had a sudden heart attack while hiking. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 55 after being rescued.
The Singapore Writers Association posted on Facebook that it received the bad news this afternoon (3rd), and pointed out that there was no news of Li Yeming's health before his death. The sudden news was unacceptable to everyone.
In addition to serving as a director of the Singapore Writers Association, he is also the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Nanyang.com, and is also the editor-in-chief of Nanyang Time Review, writing current reviews and literary works for a long time. In addition, he is also the vice president of the World War II Historical Research Association.
The Singapore Writers Association said that Li Yeming has served as a director of the association for many years, mainly responsible for academic lectures and as a tutor in the prose and novel lecture hall sponsored by the Writers Association.
In the past two years, under his promotion, the association has also received writers from China to exchange and discuss on the topic of "New South and New South China Sea".
In addition, he served as the editor-in-chief of the 93rd issue of Xinhua Literature, "The Country of Literary Wisdom" and the 100th special edition.
Li Yeming graduated from Shanghai University in 1992. After graduation, he stayed at the university to teach. He came to Singapore to work in 1996 and obtained a master's degree from Curtin University of Technology in Australia in 2001.
The Singapore Writers Association deeply regrets the death of Li Yeming and expresses its deepest condolences.
