Brief introduction of Li Hongzhang
Li Hongzhang was born in a well-off family. Since he was a child, he has read an introduction to Li Hongzhang. When he grew up, he took the imperial examination and began his career as an official. Mr. Li Hongzhang's teacher is Mr. Zeng Guofan, a famous politician and writer in modern China. Mr Zeng Guofan had an indelible influence on Li Hongzhang's life.

During Guangxu period, Li Hongzhang established a brief introduction of Beiyang Water Army Li Hongzhang and devoted himself to the Westernization Movement. Unfortunately, the Westernization Movement finally failed because of the class contradictions and the lack of materials and armed resources within the Beiyang Water Army, which was completely annihilated.

Historical evaluation of Li Hongzhang
Because Li Hongzhang lived in a period of feudal monarchy and bourgeois revolutionary struggle, there were actually two extremes in the evaluation of Mr. Li Hongzhang at that time. Some people think that Mr. Li Hongzhang is a great politician, practitioner and thinker. He could see that the Qing Dynasty was bound to decline, so he actively promoted the ideological and theoretical revolution and laid a solid foundation for a series of bourgeois revolutions in the later period. On the contrary, some people think that Li Hongzhang is an out-and-out traitor, and he founded Beiyang Water Army for his own benefit. They think that Li Hongzhang's bourgeois revolution is actually seeking property for his own class under the guise of fighting for the people's interests, and the Westernization Movement is completely disorderly. However, later generations can learn that Li Hongzhang was the first person to go abroad in the closed-door Qing Dynasty, and his communication with western cultures was very important to the development of China.
