The first book is Liang Qichao's Biography of Li Hongzhang, which should be the most famous one in Li Hongzhang's biography.
The second book is Yuan's Biography of Li Hongzhang, which is recognized as a better one among many biographies of Li Hongzhang in contemporary times. Rich historical materials, considerable viewpoints and good writing style.
There are many people who write biographies of Li Hongzhang, but there are really not many good ones. I suggest you read these two books. One is Liang Qichao's Biography of Li Hongzhang (Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House, 2000 edition). It can be said that the author and the owner belong to the same period and are more compassionate. The other is Liu's Comment on Li Hongzhang: The Beginning of China's Modernization (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House), with a different perspective.
