Wu Yili (; 1931 – 20 April 2019), also known as
Elaine Yi-Li Wu, was a Chinese-Singaporean classical pianist. A member of the first generation of Chinese pianists, she served as the first solo pianist of the
China National Symphony Orchestra and arranged the piano accompaniment for the ''
Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto''. After suffering persecution during the
Cultural Revolution, she moved to the United States before settling in Singapore. Following the release of two acclaimed albums in her old age, she was rediscovered by Chinese music lovers and became a social media sensation in her 80s.
