Biography
Li was born in Taixing, Jiangsu, in October 1962. Beginning in 1980, he served in several posts in Liuzhou Compressor General Factory ({{zh|s=柳州压缩机总厂|labels=no}}), including worker, deputy director, general manager, and chairman.
Li joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in March 1989, and got involved in politics in April 2003, when he was appointed deputy party secretary and director of Liuzhou Economic Commission. He was vice mayor of Laibin in September 2007, and held that office until April 2009, when he was assigned to deputy secretary-general of Guangxi and deputy director of its General Office. In August 2011, he was transferred to Wuzhou and admitted to member of the standing committee of the CCP Wuzhou Municipal Committee, the city's top authority. He became mayor of Qinzhou in February 2013 before being assigned to the similar position in Guigang in February 2015. In December 2015, he rose to become party secretary, the top political position in the city. In February 2021, he was appointed party branch secretary of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Department of Guangxi.{{cite news|author1=Zhuang Yu ({{lang|zh|庄彧}})|url=http://district.ce.cn/newarea/sddy/202102/09/t20210209_36305360.shtml |script-title=zh:李新元任广西壮族自治区农业农村厅党组书记 刘俊不再担任(简历) |work=ce.cn |date=9 February 2021 |access-date=24 November 2021 |language=zh}}
