Most of the heroic warriors who followed in the turbulent years did not leave their names, or their deeds were little known and their names were not very loud, but they also gave up their personal interests in the face of the interests of the country and the people, and they devoted their strength to their fullest efforts, and had a noble and selfless mind.

Originally, before his grandfather's death, his family had more than 100 acres of land, and his family was very well-off, belonging to a large local family.
However, later, his family lost money in business, and could only sell most of the fields and houses, and the family's life became poorer and poorer. When he was born, the living conditions in his family had plummeted, and only his father's meager teacher's salary struggled to make ends meet.
Fortunately, his father was a teacher, and although he grew up in a difficult life, he was able to learn from his father after the age of 7. He studied very seriously, and after some hard work, in 1910, he was admitted to the Qingtai Township Folk School, and Ren Bishi and others were alumni.
Unfortunately, not long after he studied at this school, he was unable to complete his studies due to his family's financial support. In 1912, he was admitted to the Changsha Xiangjun Factory Art Apprentice School, working half-time and studying half-time, but not long after, for various reasons, he failed to graduate.

In 1916, Chairman Mao, who studied in the First Division, often gathered with a group of like-minded and promising young people to discuss ways to save the country, and Li Weihan was also in this patriotic contingent.
On April 14, 1918, at the suggestion of Chairman Mao and Cai Hesen, they held the inaugural meeting of the Xinmin Society, and Li Weihan and Li Fuchun were arranged to work hard to accumulate cultural knowledge at Baoding Yude Middle School to study in France.
After the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, Li Weihan borrowed money and the support of his teacher Zhu Yan and others to go to France for further study. In France, he learned advanced ideas such as Marxism-Leninism, and after returning to China, he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, and in 1922, at the age of 26, Li Weihan joined the Communist Party of China.
Soon after, Li Weihan took over Chairman Mao's original post and became the secretary of the Xiang District Committee, responsible for propagating new revolutionary ideas, organizing activities, and cultivating outstanding revolutionary backbones.
Not only that, but he also won the approval of his superiors with his outstanding contributions and outstanding abilities, and he was promoted very quickly, once surpassing Chairman Mao.
In 1925, he was elected as an executive member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and during his post, he actively exerted his greatest strength and worked hard for the party and the motherland. At that time, because Chairman Mao was recuperating from illness in Hunan, he did not hold any position.
In May 1927, Li Weihan was elected a member of the Politburo and secretary general of the Central Committee. At this time, Chairman Mao had just recovered from his illness and was only an alternate member of the Central Committee, and his position was not as high as his.
On July 12 of the same year, Li Weihan became one of the five main standing committees in the provisional period, one of the five most powerful people in the central government at that time. By August, he was elected one of the three members of the Provisional Central Bureau, of which Chairman Mao was a temporary member.
From August 1937 to May 1938, he trained about 3,000 outstanding students for the country in one year. Even during the War of Resistance Against Japan, we went all out to inject new blood into all departments of the Party.

In terms of feelings, Li Weihan once met Deng Xiaoping's ex-wife, Jin Weiying, during the Long March. They all had a firm revolutionary conviction and were married in love.
In 1936, their son was born, named Li Tieying, and the couple became more emotionally stronger because of the arrival of this child. Unfortunately, when Li Tieying was less than 2 years old, Jin Weiying unfortunately died.
Li Tieying grew up in a difficult environment, adhering to the patriotic mind of his parents, simple and low-key, never showing off his identity outside, and always remembering a sentence that his father said to him: "Revolutionaries need to lead by example."
With this conviction in mind, he became a party member in 1955 and went to study at Karist University in Czechoslovakia, where he graduated as a senior engineer. In 1961, he returned to the motherland with a skill, actively contributed to the construction of the motherland, and joined the People's Liberation Army.
In 2003, Li Tieying was elected vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress, with the rank of vice-state. Since then, he has been in the corresponding post, with a good style of down-to-earth work, starting from reality, solving various problems with hard work and complaints, and always completing the tasks in his hands very well.
