Li Mochou (Chinese: 李莫愁; pinyin: Lǐ Mòchóu) is a fictional character from the Chinese wuxia novel The Return of the Condor Heroes (Shen Diao Xia Lü) by Jinyong. She is Xiaolongnü's senior. She was more powerful in martial arts than her junior at the start of the novel. Although she is beautiful in appearance, she morphs into a vicious killer after her lover betrays her. However, she appears as a motherly figure to the infant Guo Xiang, whom she kidnaps from her parents.^[1] She is seen trying to take the Jade Maiden Sutra from Xiaolongnü on several occasions at the beginning of the novel, but has never been successful. She commits suicide by throwing herself into the fire in Passionless Valley.^[2]^[3]

Li Mochou is considered one of the central characters in the novel, where the narrative begins with her. Within the story, she also sings the novel's theme song, "What Is Love?".^[4] She is the subject of the chronicle The Philosophy of Life of Li Mochou (李莫愁的人生哲學) written by Guo Mei. This work delves into Li Mochou's life from diverse perspectives, encompassing her birth, upbringing, experiences with love and hatred, and overall worldview. Guo Mei's analysis aims to elucidate and explore the philosophical aspects embedded in Li Mochou's life journey.^[5]
