These are only bits and pieces of rumors gathered off the Chinese blogs. Given WP:RS and WP:OR I can't add it to the article, but I'll put it here for reference to give out more pointers on researchs.
Took command of NK I Corps sometime during the winter of 1950-1951 (My records indicated that he is already in command of the I Corps by January 25, 1951)
Promoted to Chief of Staff on 1957/9
Purged on 1959/7 along with all other former Chinese Communist members on charges of counter-revolution, then completely disappeared in public
I suppose so, though the info on his background is very brief. I don't know if we'll ever be able to get the article above a B since next to nothing is known of him after the Korean War. —Ed!(talk)19:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Since they are US-based sources, I'd assume that they would be written by American authors, with the linguistic assistance of South Koreans, as opposed to North Koreans, and thus would use the South Korean writing style... hence why I am unsure as to whether we should use the sourced romanizations, or the orthodox romanizations. -- 李博杰 | —Talkcontribsemail02:51, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
You could explain this situation in the article, but with the absence of official North Korean documents that explain their own spelling of Lee's name, I guess US/SK POV wins by default. Jim101 (talk) 03:05, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well I guess that makes a lot of sense. The absence of official NK documents may be due to his purge (compare to how the role of Lin Biao during the civil war was significantly downplayed during the Cultural Revolution due to similar political reasons), which could be why nothing was officially written about him by NK. I guess we have no choice but to rely on what the US sources say. -- 李博杰 | —Talkcontribsemail03:29, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
