In [[2517]], Li was abducted at the age of six, when [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] singled him out as a perfect genetic match for the Spartan-II program. He was replaced with a [[Flash-Cloning|flash clone]] who later died (either because [[The Covenant]] glassed his homeworld or because of the defects that flash clones are created with.) He was then taken to [[Reach]], where he was trained with the rest of the Spartan candidates by [[Deja]] and [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez]].

Li was one of the SPARTAN- II's zero-gravity combat.  He had trained extensively with microgravity equipment and martial arts at the UNSC's extreme-conditions facility on Chiron in orbit around [[Mars]].  It was also said that he was a much at home in free fall as the rest of them were on solid ground.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 219</ref>

In [[2552]], he was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and was present at the [[Battle of Reach]]. During the battle, his team deployed grounside to defend the [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s but their [[Pelican]] dropship, [[Bravo 001]], was shot down. Li regrouped with the rest of the Spartans, and was assigned to [["Team Gamma"]] by [[Frederic-104]], along with [[Anton-044]] and [[Grace-093]]. Their objective was to rescue [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]].<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 24</ref> The group was successful, in rescuing Admiral Whitcomb, but Frederic-104 ordered them to stay in hiding because their fall back point was hot with [[Covenant]] activity.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 111-112</ref>

Anton, Grace, Li, and Admiral Whitcomb were forced to retreat to [[Camp Independence]] for three weeks, where they attacked the enemy repeatedly with hit-and-run tactics. They also broadcasted the [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]] code on the [[COM|UNSC E-Band]] until the signal was picked up by [[Cortana]] and John aboard the captured Covenant [[Reverence-class cruiser|''Reverance''-class cruiser]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 156</ref> Shortly thereafter, John took a team consisting of [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]], [[Coporal]] [[Locklear]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]], and [[Warrant Officer]] [[Sheila Polaski]] in a [[Spirit]] Dropship to rescue them. On Whitcombe's order, Li the joined the team to rescue Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] and the remaining SPARTAN-II's who were trapped in an underground [[Forerunner]] complex.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 173</ref>

With the [[Forerunner Crystal]] artifact the [[Slipspace]] was altered, creating an anomalous Slipspace bubble in which the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' became trapped.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 211</ref> Surviving [[Sangheili]] crew members of the ship sabotaged the main power conduit of the ship, forcing Li, [[John-117|John]], [[Frederic]], [[Anton]], [[Grace]] and [[William-043|William]] to go out onto the surface of the ship and repair the conduit.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 218</ref>  
While the [[Forerunner Crystal]] artifact was in possesion of the crew, the part of [[Slipspace]] that they were traveling through was altered, creating an anomalous Slipspace bubble in which the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' and all Covenant ships following them became trapped.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 211</ref> During the ensuing battle,  surviving [[Sangheili]] crew members of the ship sabotaged the main power conduit of the ship, forcing Li, [[John-117|John]], [[Frederic]], [[Anton]], [[Grace]] and [[William-043|William]] to go out onto the surface of the ship and repair the conduit.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 218</ref>  


They were fixing the conduit when a plasma bolt flew overhead and revealed the camouflaged Sangheili approaching.  They continued repairing the conduit, but a stray plasma bolt struck the ship, destroying the drop ship during the repair. Afterward, Li (who had continued firing at the approaching Sangheili while the plasma bolt approached), Anton, and Polaski were missing, with only John, Frederic, William and Grace known to have survived.<ref>''[[First Strike]]'', page 223</ref>
