Li Jingquan (Chinese: 李井泉; Wade–Giles: Li Ching-ch'üan; November 1, 1909 – April 24, 1989) was a Chinese politician and the first Party Committee Secretary (governor) of Sichuan following the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. He supported many of Mao Zedong's policies including the Great Leap Forward.
In 1956, in order to initiate "land reform", Li ordered the execution of some 6000 landlords in the Tibetan areas of Sichuan.[1] Li was responsible for the massive starvation of Chinese citizens in Sichuan and Chongqing during the Great Leap Forward. Li executed around 50,000 "bourgeoisie rightist" Chinese people, around 10% of the rightists persecuted nationwide during the movement.[2]
Ultimately, Li was deemed an enemy of the party during the Cultural Revolution, expelled from the party, and imprisoned.[3]
