Born in 1951, Li graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China with a bachelors degree in low temperature physics. He worked as a researcher and would assist scholars at institutes in Wuhan, China and France between 1976 to 1987. Li then spent about fours years working at a medical equipment firm in Shenzhen.
In 1991, he started Mindray and the company became publicly traded in New York in 2006. Li and a consortium took the company private about a decade later.
