Li comes from the Kiangsu countryside, the fourth son of a moderately wealthy farmer. In Li Wen-Cheng’s year of birth, the great imperial examination system of China was abolished; to obtain a Western technical education, Li converted to Christianity and attended a Methodist boarding school. When he announced his conversion, his Confucian father tore Christ from a place of respect among the household gods and disowned his unfilial fourth son.
Death (Session 45): Li Wen-Chang detonated a dynamite stick in Stanford's bedroom, killing himself, two of his companions, and the sorcerer.
