Lie On Moy

Lie On Moy (1884–1951) was a Peranakan Chinese journalist, writer and translator in the Dutch East Indies.

[2] At around the turn of the century, she moved to the colonial capital Batavia and married Lauw Giok Lan, who would eventually become one of the best known Chinese Indonesian journalists.

Lie became a prolific translator of Chinese stories into Malay, which were then serialized in newspapers; she may have sometimes published these under pseudonyms such as Hemeling.

In 1913 Lie, along with her husband Lauw Giok Lan, Tjoe Bou San and Song Chong Soei, founded a weekly publication in Batavia called Penghiboer ("Entertainer"), although it does not seem to have lasted long.

As Indies society was very conservative during this era, with few public roles for Chinese or Native Indonesian women, it is possible she continued to translate or under pseudonyms.
