Li Qianfu (Chinese: 李潛夫), courtesy name Xingdao (行道), was a 14th-century Chinese playwright of the Yuan dynasty. His works include The Chalk Circle (灰闌記) which was used as the basis for Bertolt Brecht's play The Caucasian Chalk Circle (1948).[1] He notably kept much to himself, choosing living a life of seclusion in the countryside. He is said to have died around 1350 AD.
