After five years of schooling in his village, he worked two years as an apprentice. Following the liberation of Loyang in 1949 he worked first in a bank and later taught Chinese in a school for cadres. He began writing short stories on rural life in his spare-time and in 1952 some of these were published, which found many keen readers among the peasants. Since then he has written some 50 short stories and medium-length novels besides six film scenarios. Li Chun is now a member of the Union of Chinese Writers.
