Wei Li-huang (Wei Lihuang) joined the Kuomintang in the early 1920s and participated in the Northern Expedition of 1926-1928. The outbreak of the Pacific War found him in command of 1 War Area. He later relieved Ch'en Ch'eng as commander of Y Force in Burma.

One of the most capable and least corrupt of the Kuomintang generals, Wei was known as "Hundred Victories Wei" for his successes against the Communists. Chiang Kai-shek is alleged to have bought him off with land to ensure his political reliability.  He had a modern education and was highly pro-American; his chief fault was that he was ponderous in his thinking, looking at all sides of a problem when prompt action would have been more appropriate. For example, after taking Che-fang during the Salween campaign with a skillful flanking move, Wei waited a full month before moving on Wanting.

Postwar Wei again relieved Ch'en Ch'eng, this time in Manchuria. The fall of Chinchow left him isolated; his planned counterattack was forbidden by Chiang, who relieved him of command. He fled to Taiwan (Formosa) with the Kuominitang in 1949 and retired in 1955.
