I would like to contact persons with any knowledge of descendants of the Li family to which Li Hsiu-ch'eng (Pinyin = Li Xiu-cheng) belongs. Li Xiu-cheng was entitled Loyal King, [alias Zhong Wang (pinyin), Prince Cheng or Prince Chung] of the ill-fated Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the 1860s. It is said that some Li family members managed to escape and emigrate to the West Indies where they are now known by the surname Lee.
