Zhao Yiman, formerly known as Li Kuntai, nicknamed Shuduan, scientific name Li Shuning, also known as Li Yichao, was born in 1905 in a small landlord family in the north of Yibin County, Sichuan Province. She entered a private school when she was 8 years old. When she was 10 years old, her mother wanted to bind her feet and pierce her ears and eyes according to local customs, but she refused no matter whether she was scolded or beaten. She washed her feet in front of everyone, which was considered immoral at the time.

During the May 4th Movement, Zhao Yiman was influenced by revolutionary ideas. In 1924, her eldest brother-in-law Zheng Youzhi introduced her to join the Socialist Youth League through communication. In the summer of 1926, she joined the Communist Party and served as a women's committee member of the Yibin District Committee of the Communist Youth League and the acting women's minister of the county Kuomintang party department. In the summer of 1927, when the Wuhan government collapsed, she moved to Shanghai, and then went to Moscow to study at Sun Yat-sen University. The following year, she married her classmate Chen Dabang (Chen Dabang). In the winter of 1928, due to illness and pregnancy, she was transferred back to China and worked underground in Yichang, Shanghai, Nanchang and other places. In the spring of 1932, she was sent to work in the Northeast region, changed her name to Zhao Yiman, and led workers' struggles in Fengtian (Shenyang) and Harbin. The following year, in order to hide her identity, she pretended to be husband and wife with Lao Cao (Huang Weixin), the head of the Manchuria Federation of Trade Unions. In July 1934, she went to the anti-Japanese guerrilla zone east of Harbin and served as a member of the Zhuhe Central County Committee and later as the Secretary of the Zhuhe District Committee. In the autumn of 1935, she concurrently served as the political commissar of the second regiment of the first division of the Third Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army, and was affectionately called "our female political commissar" by local soldiers.

In the guerrilla zone, Zhao Yiman had a very close relationship with the masses. She suffered from pneumonia and was physically weak. She used the pseudonym Li Yichao and was affectionately called "Skinny Li" and "Sister Li" by the villagers. In November 1935, the troops she led were surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops. She asked the regiment leader to lead the troops to break out of the encirclement, and she acted as cover. She was shot in the wrist of her left hand and was injured. She was discovered by the enemy while she was recuperating in hiding in the village. When she rose to fight, her left thigh bone was pierced by a bullet. She was arrested due to excessive bleeding and fell into a coma. She was taken to the Puppet Binjiang Provincial Police Department in Harbin and tortured. She fell into coma several times, but remained steadfast and unyielding. When she was dying, the Japanese invaders were worried that they would not get a confession after she died, so they sent her to Harbin Municipal First Hospital for surveillance and treatment. Dong Xianxun, the Puppet Manchukuo policeman who was responsible for guarding her, and Han Yongyi, the female hospital nurse, were both moved by her bravery. They also listened to her propaganda of resisting Japan and saving the nation, so they decided to join the Anti-Japanese Alliance team. With the help of the two men, she escaped from Harbin late at night on June 28, 1936, heading towards the anti-Japanese guerrilla zone.

The pseudo-mountain police team caught up with their carriage in the early morning of the third day, and Zhao Yiman was arrested again. The enemy tortured her repeatedly for a month, but she just scolded them angrily: "You can turn the entire village into rubble and chop people into mud, but you can't destroy the faith of Communist Party members!"

On August 1, 1936, the enemy took her to Zhuhe County, where she was tied to a carriage and paraded through the streets before being publicly executed. She sang "Red Flag Song" along the way, and many people along the way were moved to tears. She was only 31 years old when she died.
