Bao Tianxiao (Chinese: 包天笑; pinyin: Bāo Tiānxiào, 1876 – 24 October 1973) was a Chinese writer and translator. Born in Jiangsu, he completed the imperial examination in 1894. However, having grown interested in literature through his reading, he left his hometown in 1900 to travel to Nanking before settling in Shanghai. He translated numerous works, wrote multiple original novels, and edited several magazines. Building on this success, he adapted his works into screenplays for the Mingxing Film Company. These included Lonely Orchid, one of the most successful silent films in Republican China. Bao remained active through the 1960s, having moved to Hong Kong after the Chinese Civil War.
