Li Dazhao (or Li Ta-chao) (1888–1927)

Chinese revolutionary. He was one of the founders of the Chinese Communist Party, and his interpretation of Marxism as applied to China had a profound influence on Mao Zedong. In 1927, when the Manchurian military leader, Zhang Zuolin (Chang Tsolin), then occupying Beijing (Peking), raided the Soviet Embassy, Li was captured and executed.

Appointed head librarian of Beijing University in 1918 and professor of history in 1920, he had the young Mao as a library assistant, and founded one of the first of the communist study circles that, in 1921, were to form the Communist Party.
