Team Leader Li is the authoritative leader of Li Village, described as having word that is almost always final and binding. He received news of Li Dasheng's arrest from his son Li Dafu and went to confront Accountant Li and his wife. He sternly rebukes them for their scheming and warns them about the signed documents that serve as evidence against them. He does not want to offend Zhao Ke, fearing it might affect his son Li Dafu's factory job. He threatens to report the Li family to the commune if they provoke the Zhao family again. He tells them to avoid the Zhao family and not to try to get Li Dasheng out of jail, saying he should learn his lesson. He plans to visit Zhao Village to speak with their Team Leader.
