Li Zhisui (simplified Chinese: 李志绥; traditional Chinese: 李志綏; pinyin: Lǐ Zhìsuī) (b. 1919, Beijing, China d. February 13, 1995, Carol Stream, Illinois) was Mao Zedong's personal physician and confidante[1]. After immigrating to the United States, he wrote a biography of his experiences with Mao entitled The Private Life of Chairman Mao .
Weeks after he announced on a TV interview that he was going to write another memoir[citation needed], Li died of a heart attack at his son's house. He had lived with his son after immigrating to the United States.
As a physician, Li was interested in psychiatry. In October 1986, Li wrote the Preface for the first Chinese textbook on psychopharmacology, "Psychopharmacological Treatment for Psychiatric Disorders." [Editors: Drs. Neng Cai (Tsai)（蔡能）, Hong-zhang Shi (史鸿璋）, etc., Shanghai Scientific Technology Publisher, May 1987]
