Li Zehou (13 June 1930 – 2 November 2021)[1] was a Chinese scholar who lives in the United States.[2] He was an important scholar of Chinese history and culture.[3] He criticized the Chinese government's response to the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. Because of that, his books and articles were banned in China. He was invited to the United States to teach. He was granted permanent resident status. Li had an important role in Chinese culture. Professor Yu Ying-shih of Princeton University wrote that Li's books helped a whole generation of young Chinese students become free from communist ideas.[2]

Li died on 2 November 2021, aged 91.[4]
