Li Hongzhong (Chinese: ; born August 1956) is a Chinese politician and current Communist Party Secretary of Tianjin. Born in Shenyang, Li spent much of his early career in Guangdong province, most notably as mayor, then party chief of Shenzhen. He was transferred to Hubei province in 2007; he would go on to serve as Governor and party chief there. During his term in Hubei, Li generated controversy after grabbing a recording pen from the hand of a journalist.
Li was born in Shenyang, but traces his ancestry to Changle County, Shandong province. During the Cultural Revolution, he performed manual labour as a sent-down youth in Sujiatun District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. In 1978, he earned admission to the history department at Jilin University. After he graduated, Li was sent to work at the government. He worked for the General Office of the Shenyang municipal government, then a secretary at the ministry of electronics industry. In 1988 he was sent to Guangdong province, where he would go on to spend two decades of his political career. He successively served as the mayor and party chief of Huizhou City, then the vice governor of Guangdong, then in 2003, the acting mayor and mayor of Shenzhen, China's most prominent Special Economic Zone.
In March 2005, he was named Communist Party chief of Shenzhen. In November 2007, he was transferred to Hubei province, where he took on the office of deputy party chief, governor, and then finally in December 2010, provincial party chief. During his Hubei governorship, the Shishou incident and Deng Yujiao incident occurred in the province.
