Li Min (Chinese: 李敏; pinyin: Lǐ Mǐn; born 1936 in Zhidan, Yan'an, Shaanxi with family roots in Xiangtan, Hunan), original name Mao Jiaojiao (Chinese: 毛姣姣; pinyin: Máo Jiāojiāo), is the daughter of Mao Zedong and his third wife, He Zizhen. Her surname is Li rather than Mao, because Mao had changed his name to "Li Desheng" (simplified Chinese: 李德胜; traditional Chinese: 李德勝; pinyin: Lǐ Déshèng) for a period of time to prevent from being chased by Kuomintang army during the Chinese Civil War.
