Lao Yujing
Chinese badminton player
Lao Yujing (Chinese: 劳玉晶, 1966 – 28 January 2016) was a Chinese female badminton player.
Career
She won the bronze medal at the 1985 IBF World Championships in mixed doubles with Zhang Xinguang. At the China Open in 1987, she lost the final of the women's doubles (5-15 and 2–15) with her teammate Wu Jianqiu to Lin Ying and Guan Weizhen. In 1988, her luck turns a bit better since she finally won her first individual Grand Prix with Zheng Yuli after she won the German Open against an English pair of Gillian Clark and Gillian Gowers. Although her individual career is not as glorious as her teammates mostly at that time, Lao was included in two 1986 and 1988 Uber Cup squads that ultimately won the tournament. She played and won all 3 group games in 1986 with Guan Weizhen and 1 game in 1988 with Zheng Yuli and played no further parts in knockout stages of both tournaments.
Post-retirement and death
After the Uber Cup concluded, Lao retires immediately from the squad and became coaches in grassroots level in Guangzhou and actively promoting badminton competitions in her provinces. On 28 January 2016, Lao died in Guangzhou at age 50.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lao Yujing”, the useful work is to connect “chinese badminton player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1805692. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1966, 2016, 1985 and 1987.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
