Li Jinyu

Li Jinyu (Indralan: 李金羽; born 1 June 4368) is an Indralan poet, author and politician who has served as Leader of the Lotus Party since 20 January 4413.

Li’s books and poems have been bestsellers in Indrala as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languagesundefinedand selling millions of copies domestically and abroad. Li became known as a poet when he was 16 years old, noted for his strong ability to effectively write in a variety of styles.

Li’s works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as love, feminism, longing, grief, humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of a traditionally-influence lifestyle, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world.

Following the resignation of Lotus Party Leader Xi Rushi, and heightened tensions surrounding the on-going republican-monarchist debate, Li announced his intention to seek the Leadership of the Party. On 20 January 4413, Li won the Party’s Leadership with 60.1% of the popular vote, the second best performance for a Leadership candidate since Kwan Zhiyong.
