Lenin was an advocate of the socio-political theory of Marxism, first developed by the German sociologists Karl Marx ( 1818 – 1883 ) and Friedrich Engels ( 1820 – 1895 ) in the mid-19th century, and Li's articles helped bring an understanding of Marxism to the Chinese revolutionary movement, even though he failed to fully understand it himself.

Li's overthrow may have been accompanied by China's first recorded peasant rebellion.

Hero also saw Jet Li's first appearance in a film produced by mainland China, after his debut in Shaolin Temple.

The first televised artiste course broadcasted was in 1966 under the title, " Ying Li's voice.

This was Jet Li's first American film debut as Wah Sing Ku.

Li's first major appearance internationally was at the 2010 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

In 1918, Li's grandfather, Li Koon-chun, along with his great-uncle, founded the Bank of East Asia, the first Chinese-owned bank in the territory.

Li's integrity is being questioned by Legislators, and corporate gadfly David Webb was the first to put Li under pressure to relinquish his position as a member of both the Legislative and the Executive Councils of Hong Kong because of his implication in the affair.

Zhu, hearing of Li's impending arrival, first attacked Fengtian even more severely but still could not capture it, and with Li arriving, Zhu withdrew back to Chang ' an on December 18.

CIBC was Mr. Li's choice for financing many of his Canadian ventures, like Husky Energy.

The object of Li's strategy was to maintain a foothold on the Chinese mainland in the hope that the United States would eventually be compelled to enter the war in China on the Nationalist side.

Yan Xishan continued in his attempts to work with both sides, creating the impression among Li's supporters that he was a " stooge " of Chiang, while those who supported Chiang began to bitterly resent Yan for his willingness to work with Li.

Much of Li's rapid political promotion was due to the support of Party elder Chen Yun.

Li spent much of the 1990s expanding and managing an energy monopoly, State Power Corp. Because the company was staffed by Li's relatives, Li's management effectively transformed China's energy industry into a " family fiefdom ".

At its height, Li's power company controlled 72 % of all energy-producing assets in China, and was ranked as the sixtieth-largest company in the world by US magazine Fortune.

After Li's departure from government, Li's energy monopoly was split into five smaller companies by the Chinese government.

In 2010, Li's autobiographical book, The Critical Moment – Li Peng Diaries, was published by New Century Press.

The Critical Moment covers Li's activities during the period of the Tiananmen Square protests, and was published on the protests ' twenty-first anniversary.

New Century Press is run by Bao Pu, the son of Bao Tong, who was an aide to Li's rival, Zhao Ziyang.

Dai Qing states that by 1997, Li was receiving annual income in excess of ¥ 10 million through sales of his books, noting that Falun Gong practitioners purchased numerous copies of Li's works, pictures, and made voluntary donations.

" In light of Li's teachings on homosexuality as immoral, a nomination of Li for the Nobel Peace Prize by San Francisco legislators was withdrawn in 2001.

A year after his death, a deputy in the Board of Works made a submission to the Emperor appealing Li's innocence, arguing that since Li was already at the apex of honour, wealth and power, the accusation that he wanted to help someone else usurp the throne was clearly ridiculous.

Li's appearance on state television weeks later showed that this was not the case.

Jiang nevertheless made sure to secure Li's promotion to the Politburo Standing Committee, though in 2002 he was " the sole member of the PBSC without a specific post in the cabinet of Party bureaucracy ," and was initially simply charged with supervising the Party organs that deal with propaganda and ideology.

While he sought out his mother Consort Li's cousins ( Consort Li's brothers had been executed with their father Li Hui ) and rewarded them with relatively low offices, he later retracted the rewards, bringing criticism that he was treating the Fengs with too much kindness and not treating the Lis with sufficient kindness.

After the battles of Luoyang and Kaifeng, the Ming government was unable to stop Li's rebellion, as most of its military force was involved in the battle against the Manchurians in the north.

After Li's army was defeated on 27 May 1644 at the Battle of Shanhai Pass by the combined forces of Ming turncoat general Wu Sangui and the Manchurians, Li fled from Beijing towards his base in Shaanxi.

One of the Division Commanders, Cheng Qian ( 程潜 ), who was both Li's father's townsman and alumni, sponsored Li to study in Beijing.

He represented a vital link between the Northern Song school ( Guo Xi, Fan Kuan, Li Cheng, and others ), and the later Southern Song painters, such as Xia Gui and Ma Yuan, both of whom studied Li's art.

Reviewing the book for the Daily News of Bowling Green, Kentucky, historian Robert Antony described it as an " intimate, candid account of one of the most powerful men in the modern world " and " a haunting tale of intrigue and debauchery in the court of Mao Zedong, as could only be told by a member of the inner circle " and described Li's journey from an idealized patriot who idolized Mao, to a critic disillusioned by Mao's hypocrisy and philandering.

Another Chinese critic of Li's work was Qi Benyu, who was formerly a member of the Cultural Revolution radicals in Beijing.

His outspoken nature led to his assassination by secret agents of the Kuomintang, right after eulogizing his friend Li Gongpu's life at Li's funeral in 1946.

His novel Mountaintop Love (《 上山 ． 上山 ． 愛 》), about a mother and daughter who fall in love with the same man, though several years apart, solidified Li's status as a serious novelist.

More recent films that have explicitly explored parallel universes are: the 2000 film The Family Man, the 2001 cult movie Donnie Darko, which deals with what it terms a " tangent universe " that erupts from our own universe ; Super Mario Bros. ( 1993 ) has the eponymous heroes cross over into a parallel universe ruled by humanoids who evolved from dinosaurs ; The One ( 2001 ) starring Jet Li, in which there is a complex system of realities in which Jet Li's character is a police officer in one universe and a serial killer in another, who travels to other universes to destroy versions of himself, so that he can take their energy ; and FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions ( 2004 ), the main character runs away from a totalitarian nightmare, and he enters into a cyber-afterlife alternative reality.

While controversial among many in the party, who fear that he might be a Chinese Mikhail Gorbachev, Li's views about political liberalization, however, do not entail Western-style models.

Ai struck a guard who offered shade and water to Li, whence a group of peasants tore apart Li's shackles, spirited him to a nearby hill, and proclaimed him their leader.

Li's forces fell under the command of his brother Li Liu ( 李流 ), who died later that year as well and was succeeded by his nephew Li Xiong.

Some of these were old CCP members such as labor activists He Mengxiong and Luo Zhanglong who were blamed for their rightism only because they were against Li's extremism.

Li Hongzhang died in 1901 and was replaced by Yuan Shikai, who took on Li's appointment as Viceroy of Zhili and as Minister of Beiyang ( 北洋通商大臣 ).

Yen and Li appeared together again in the 2002 film Hero, where Yen played a spear ( or qiang ) fighter who fought with Li's character, an unnamed swordsman.

In publicising The Private Life of Chairman Mao, Li Zhisui stated that he was Mao's personal physician for twenty-two years, in which time he became a close confidant of the Chinese leader, although this has since come under criticism from those who do not agree that Li's relationship was as close to Mao as he maintains.

One of Li's collaborators who was involved in the editing of the work, the western historian Anne F. Thurston, noted that because of this, his claims were " fallible " and might " be wrong ".

A statement protesting that many of the claims made in Li's book were false was issued soon after its publication, signed by 150 people who had personally known or worked with Mao, including Wang Dongxing, Li Yinqiao and Ye Zilong.

They also criticise Li's claims regarding Mao's personal life, for instance challenging his assertion that Mao was sterile, in which they are supported by Professor Wu Jieping, who was another of Mao ’ s medical carers.

Called Elder Li's Pagoda ( 理公塔 ), it houses the ashes of Hui Li, the Indian monk who founded Lingyin.

Deciding to quit his job on the cargo ship, Charles returned to General Gu, who was Dai Li's boss, to ask for help.

Then with the direct support from Mif, who came to China as envoy of Comintern, in the 4th Plenary Meeting of 6th National Congress of CPC in 1931 Wang and his associates won the battle with Li Lisan, who was incumbent paramount leader of CPC at that time, and Li's opponents of old CPC members, such as Labor activists He Mengxiong and Lin Yuying.

Many people blamed Wei for causing Li's death, including historian Sima Qian as well as Li's youngest son Li Gan ( 李敢 ), who was a subordinate of Huo Qubing at the time.
