Li Qingwei

Li Qingwei was a People's [Republic of China] politician. He was born in Xingtai, Hebei Province. He joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1937. He was governor of Shaanxi Province from 1983 to 1986, and vice head of the Development [Research Center of the State Council] in China.
While in office, Li hosted foreign dignitaries such as Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth II. These visits were spurred by the then recently discovered Terracotta Army archaeological site, and replicas of the statues were presented as gifts.
