Lü traveled to the United States to attend the March 2015 United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, but during her stay, Chinese officials detained five of her activists colleagues in China, who were planning a public demonstration on sexual harassment.

Feminist Voices, founded in 2009, is the most influential social media for feminist advocation in China. The channel fostered a generation of young Chinese feminists and created a community for activist engagements before it was censored in 2018. Lü also played a vital role in offline feminist activism in China, providing general moral support as well as concrete ideas. She is an important supporter for the "Young Feminist Action", a feminist group based in Chinese cities who participate in public protest.

Lü worked as a journalist at the national newspaper for women China Women's News (zhongguo funübao) after graduating from Shandong University. She took part in the United Nation's 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing, which gave rise to a strong wave of NGO organizing related to women's issues in China during the 1990s. Lü resigned from her job and became a freelancer in 2004.

In 1994, Lü received her master's degree in Chinese from Shandong University.
