Li Guangyu was born in 1907 in a peasant family in Gaogezhuang Village, Luan County, Hebei Province, and attended private school for six or seven years.
At the beginning of 1935, Ding Zhenjun, principal of Angezhuang Primary School and an underground member of the Communist Party of China, often went to the area of Gaogezhuang to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance in the name of lecturing. Li Guangyu is the director of Gaogezhuang and Tianzhuangzilian Village Primary School, and often has contact with Ding Zhenjun because of his working relationship. Ren Junjian and Li Guangyu were good at thinking, had a strong sense of justice and national self-esteem, so they briefed him on the revolutionary struggle and the situation of the War of Resistance in North China, and showed him progressive books and periodicals. Soon, under the enlightenment and guidance of Ding Zhenjun, Li Guangyu gloriously joined the Communist Party of China. Originally a Catholic. After 1935, he turned to communism and joined the Communist Party of China.
In order to develop and expand rural grassroots party organizations, Zhao Yuqing, secretary of the Luanxian County CPC Committee, will settle at Li Guangyu's house whenever he goes to Lubei to carry out activities. With the active cooperation of Li Guangyu, Zhou Dianyuan, the township chief of Gaogezhuang, and Zhou Dianqing, Li Guangyuan, Tian Rong, and others in the village quickly increased their ideological consciousness and joined the Communist Party of China one after another. At the end of the year, a central party branch headed by Li Guangyu was established in Gaogezhuang.
In anticipation of the anti-Japanese upsurge, Li Guangyu used the spread of Catholicism as a cover to contact the anti-Japanese fighters in many ways to publicize the Anti-Japanese ideas of the Communist Party of China. In order to make the township a consolidated revolutionary fortress, he consciously had long-term contacts with Zhou Weixin, director of the pseudo-police stationed in the township, spread the anti-Japanese patriotic ideology to him, and concluded a non-interference agreement with Zhou Weixin. Under the influence and education of Li Guangyu, Zhou Weixin changed from suppressing the anti-Japanese armed forces to sympathizing with and supporting the anti-Japanese forces. In 1938, when the anti-Japanese armed rebellion broke out in eastern Hebei, Zhou Weixin led all the police and vigilante groups of the township police branch to revolt, and the backbone of the Ninth General Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in eastern Hebei.
In the spring of 1937, Li Guangyu participated in the work of the Luanxian County Committee of the Communist Party of China and served as the head of the Luanxian Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Committee. Before and after the great anti-Japanese armed uprising in eastern Hebei, Li Yunchang, Yan Dakai, Li Baohua, responsible persons of the CPC Central Hebei Central Committee, and staff members from various counties often stayed at his home, and Li Guangyu ate and covered all the people who came to him. Once, his wife was confinement. Just after coming to his house with the rain, Li Guangyu and his wife gave him all the food sent by their mother's family to eat, but they ate coarse rice and grains. Li Guangyu, a native of Guizhou who was living in difficulty, also sold dozens of acres of land, and people who did not understand him gave him a nickname, called "the second loser."
In July 1938, the anti-Japanese armed rebellion broke out in eastern Hebei. The Luan County Party Committee ordered Li Guangyu to assist Gao Chunyi in the Third Brigade of the Fifth General Brigade of the Angezhuang Piece Component. Li Guangyu sold his property and bought a Seven-Nine rifle and a No. 3 German pistol. Based on these two pistols, Li Guangyu's riot team confiscated a large number of guns scattered by the people, so that the third brigade grew rapidly. The main force of the Fifth General Brigade went south to Leting and marched east to Funing and Lu Long. Under the leadership of Li Guangyu and others, the Third Brigade persisted in waging a struggle in the northwestern region of Luanxian County, effectively pinning down the enemy in Luanxian County, coordinating the main force of the anti-Japanese coalition army in eastern Hebei, and making contributions to winning victory. Soon, Li Guangyu was elected deputy commander-in-chief of the First Road Headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in eastern Hebei.
Soon after the defeat of the anti-Japanese armed rebellion, in order to avoid the frantic search and arrest of the enemy, Li Guangyu's whole family left his hometown, and the little family property he had was also looted by the Japanese puppet army.
In September 1939, he was ordered to study in the Pingxi base area, and returned to Jidong in 1943 to be responsible for relocating to Lufuchang Union County behind enemy lines. In the spring of that year, he took people to the area of Bao Gezhuang in Qian'an County to carry out work, but unfortunately he was surrounded by the enemy. At the critical moment, Li Guangyu pointed his gun at himself and ordered other comrades to break through, and he was responsible for attracting the enemy. After a bitter battle, the comrades-in-arms were safely out of danger, but Li Guangyu died heroically at the age of 36.
After Li Guangyu's sacrifice, the crowd of Bao Gezhuang buried his body. He was buried on the hillside on the edge of the village and named his grave "Eighth Route Army Tomb"
