What is the evaluation of Li Guang's life?
Sima Qian, a great historian in the Han Dynasty, praised the biography of Li Guangli: "Peach and plum don't say anything, but go their own way." Peaches and plums have fragrant flowers and sweet fruits. Although they can't speak, they still attract people to enjoy flowers and taste fruits under the tree, which makes them all walk out of the way under the tree. General Li Guang won people's respect for his sincerity and noble qualities. In Tang Dezong, 64 famous martial arts masters such as Li Guang were enshrined in Wu Wang Chengsi, known as the sixty-four generals of Wu Wang Chengsi. Song Huizong addressed Li Guang as Huairou Bo, one of the seventy-two generals of Wu Song Temple.

Li Guang, Han nationality, born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Qin 'an County, Tianshui, Gansu), was a famous soldier in China during the Western Han Dynasty. In the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (BC 166), he joined the army to attack the Huns because of his meritorious service. Jingdi was appointed as the magistrate of seven counties in the northern border region. Emperor Wu ascended the throne and was called Weiyang Palace Guard.

In the fourth year of Yuanshou (1 19), Li Guang was a general before the Battle of Mobei. He lost his way and failed to take part in the war, so he committed suicide in anger. Sima Qian did not say anything, and evaluated himself as a peach and plum.
