He is believed to have been born somewhere in Central Asia, and to have moved to [[Sichuan province]] with his family around the age of five. He began traveling at the age of 25, seeking connections and a means of political advancement. In [[742]], he was invited to the [[Tang Dynasty|Tang]] Imperial Court, and in [[755]], he fought alongside Imperial forces attempting to suppress the [[An Lushan Rebellion]]; his lord was defeated, and Li was exiled to Guizhou by the rebels. This did not last long, however, as the rebellion was eventually ended, and a general amnesty declared, allowing Li and many others to return to the capital.
