At the end of 2002, Li left the national tennis team to study part-time at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), where she completed her bachelor’s degree in journalism in 2009. The Chinese media cited various reasons for this. Some reported that the relationship between her and her teammate and future husband, Jiang Shan (姜山 ), was opposed by the national team’s management, some reported that her coach, Yu Liqiao (余丽桥 ), was too strict and demanding, while other reports claimed that her request for a personal coach did not go through.

The New York Times reported that one of the reasons was that a team leader wanted her to play through by taking hormone medicine as Li struggled with her performance due to hormone imbalance.
