Li Zehua

Li Zehua (Chinese: 李泽华, born 1995) is a Chinese citizen journalist, rapper and YouTuber.

Li was born in 1995 in Pingxiang, Jiangxi. After graduating from Communication University of China, he joined China Central Television (CCTV) as a television presenter in 2016.

During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in China, he resigned from CCTV and found a way to get into Wuhan in hopes of following in the footsteps of disappeared journalist Chen Qiushi. With the locals' help, he was able to get a car and find a place to stay. In the following days, he tried to use vlog to introduce the true situation of Wuhan. He disappeared on 26 February 2020, presumed detained by officers from state security. It was reported that Li Zehua returned to the hotel on 28 February. However, other reports stated that no one has heard from Li since his 26 February 2020 disappearance.

On 22 April 2020, Li posted a video on Youtube, Twitter, and Weibo. According to Li, he was escorted on 26 February to the police station and was under investigation for disrupting public order. Additionally, police detained and quarantined him, citing his visits to sensitive epidemic areas. Li's quarantine was at first in Wuhan, and later moved to his hometown. Li stated he had been treated well by the police during the detention, and that he had been released on 28 March. According to The Guardian, Li's neutral tone in the video was very different from his previous videos. Activist Ou Biaofeng stated the authorities may have pressured Li to make the brief statement.
