Feng Keng (Chinese: 馮鏗; 7 October 1907 – 10 February 1931)[1] was a poet and author who, following her execution became known as one of the Five Martyrs of the League of Left-Wing Writers.[2][3] Feng was born in Guangdong province, China.[4] Her mother was a teacher.[5]

When the magazine China Forum reported on the executions, it also published poems and stories written by four of those killed, and Feng's work was featured.[6]
