Li Guangchang (Chinese: 李光長; pinyin: Lǐ Guāngchǎng, fl. 1980s), also known as Zheng Min (Chinese: 鄭民; pinyin: Zhèng Mín), was a self-declared Chinese emperor and leader of a salvationist sect. He ruled a small territory in Cangnan County, called the "Zishen Nation" (子申国), from 1981 to 1986 in de facto independence from China. His reign was eventually brought to an end by Chinese security forces who captured him and dismantled his statelet as well as his sect. Li was tried in court, and probably sentenced to death for leading a counter-revolutionary movement.
