It is pointed out that Li Wangzhi changed his surname to Li because his parents divorced when he was a child. He lived with his mother Li Danyu and changed his surname to Li. Li Wangzhi graduated from Peking University Law School and later became a lawyer. He later went to Columbia University in the United States for further studies and joined the financial and investment world.

The article stated that Li Wangzhi was not involved in the Bo Xilai case. When Bo Xilai was tried, he went to the Jinan court to hear the trial.

In April 2024, the Peking University New England Alumni Association in Massachusetts, USA, invited three outstanding entrepreneurial alumni to share their entrepreneurial experiences. Li Wangzhi is one of them; currently Li Wangzhi is the founding director and core mentor of the Peking University Entrepreneurship Training Camp. From 2023 to 2024, he will be a visiting scholar at the Fairbank Center for China Studies at Harvard University, focusing on constitutional law and Chinese politics.

The article stated that it seems that although Li Wangzhi is engaged in business, he "still cares about politics."

In addition, Bo Xilai, the son of Bo Xilai and his wife Gu Kailai, has been living overseas. He has recently published photos and messages on social platforms, attracting attention and discussion from the outside world.

During China's National Day holiday, Bo Guagua left a message on social media, "As a Chinese, don't forget: if China is not strong, no matter how well the Chinese do overseas, they will never be able to hold their own. If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached..."

Regarding Bo Guagua's above remarks, the Ming Pao article stated that some people criticized him for being an exile, but still guiding the country as a "red third generation", and even ridiculing him for begging for mercy and currying favor with Beijing. However, some people believe that Bo Guagua is only talking about political reality.

38-year-old Bo Guagua is the grandson of CCP veteran Bo Yibo. His father Bo Xilai was a political star who was dismissed in 2012 and was sentenced to life imprisonment for bribery and corruption. His mother Gu Kailai was also suspected of murdering a British businessman and was sentenced to a suspended death sentence.
