Yuán jìnshì (1333) and late-Yuán loyalist of Cháling 茶陵 (Tánzhōu, modern Húnán). Style-name Yīchū 一初; biéhào Xīqú 希蘧; in retirement after the Yuán fall he styled himself Bù’èrxīn lǎorén 不二心老人 (“Undivided-Heart Old Man”). He passed the Yuántǒng 1 (1333) jìnshì — the same examination that produced Yú Què 余闕 (style-name Tíngxīn) as second-rank graduate on the right (yòubǎng, Mongol-Sèmù) and Lǐ Qí himself as second-rank graduate on the left (zuǒbǎng, HànNán); the zhuàngyuán of that examination was Lǐ Fǔ 李黼 (later Xúnyáng prefect, zhōngliè). Appointed yìngfèng hànlín wénzì; reposted as Wùyuánzhōu tóngzhī; then JiāngZhè rúxué fù tíjǔ. He resigned on mourning his mother; with the rebellions breaking out he withdrew to the hills at Yǒngxīn and never returned. In Hóngwǔ he refused all Míng summons. He lived past 70 sui. Lǐ’s Yúnyáng jí 雲陽集 (KR4d0571) is the surviving collection; he had been wounded by Míng troops at Yǒngxīn and was sheltered, treated, and finally — after his death — printed by the local qiānhù officer Lǐ Zǐmào 李子茂**, in an exemplary case of cross-loyalty Míng-officer / Yuán-yílǎo respect.
