Biography

Li joined the Communist Party of China in 1927, and served as an army captain and political commissar for the Chinese Red Army during the Long March.

He was an influential political figure throughout the PRC, having been a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China since 1956. He fell from favour after the Cultural Revolution but was made finance minister in 1973 by Zhou Enlai, and started early moves to a market-based economy. For some years he was a deputy prime minister.

He is considered as one of the Eight Immortals of Communist Party of China. [ [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,954285,00.html "History Beckons Again"] Kurt Anderson Time Magazine, (07 May 1984).]
