Li was born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. He is honored as a landmark figure in the modern Chinese painting field. He is knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times, and incorporates the strengths of both Chinese and Western painting in his ink paintings.

Li excelled at Chinese landscape painting. He is skilled in using the shades of ink, ranging from light to dark and wet to dry to express the texture and charm of his landscapes.

In his landscape paintings, natural elements such as mountains, rocks, trees, clouds, and mist, as well as water buffalos, are brought to life through the ingenious use of ink and brushwork.
