Li survived the 1950 battle severely injured, with his lungs penetrated by bullets, his two ribs broken, and his spine split. Miraculously, eight surgeries saved him from death's hand.
Li said in his Government Work Report this month that efforts will be made to further lighten the tax burden on businesses. The government will reform and improve VAT, consolidate the three tax brackets into two, adjust tax rates, prioritize lowering rates in manufacturing and transportation, and raise the threshold for annual sales volume for small-scale taxpayers.
Li left school and moved from the poor rural area to the city of Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi, to get a job, like hundreds of thousands of others who left their hometowns and flocked to the cities.

Li, 63, has devoted more than a decade of his life to the 2 hectares of macadamias he grows in Mengzhi village in Yunnan province. The village is among the largest production areas for macadamias in China thanks to locals who brought Australian seedlings there more than 20 years ago.

Like many of her colleagues, Li has a 50-minute daily commute from her home in the city.
Li hoped the two sides will accelerate alignment of development strategies and strengthen communication and coordination in major international issues such as climate change, so as to boost their comprehensive strategic partnership.
Li spoke highly of Chan's efforts in promoting global health and medical development and dealing with important public health issues such as the outbreak of Ebola virus epidemic and Hemorrhagic Fever when she was the director-general. He said Chan has been promoting public health systems in WHO member countries, especially in developing countries, and has also provided advice and support to China's medical reform.
Liberalization of infrastructure is another important step that will help us to have greater market access, to serve more customers, to even invest ourselves in areas that were not possible.
