Li Siguang (1889-1971), is the founder of China's geomechanics. According to his daughter, he was a Mongol in China. He made outstanding contributions to changing an "oil deficiency" problem in the country, enabling the large-scale development of oil fields to raise the country to the ranks of the world's major oil producers.
A native of Huanggang, Hubei, Li studied in Japan and the UK in his early years. He became a geological professor at Peking University upon his return from abroad in 1920. Li Siguang was the president of National Central University (Nanjing University) in 1932.
After the People's Republic of China was established, Li held the positions of deputy president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and minister of geology.
