Li Haoyu was a Haidean political figure and the central figure in the bloody Haidean Civil War. As a Communist diehard, he sought to establish the People's Republic of Manchuria within the Haidean Republic, which he believed would replace the People's Republic of China. Li Haoyu's controversial rule and his attempt to reshape the political landscape of Haide resulted in a protracted and devastating conflict that spanned from 2063 until his death in 2067. Fueled by his desire to implement a Communist government, Li Haoyu orchestrated an armed insurgency against the Haidean Republic in 2063. His movement sought to permanently establish the People's Republic of Manchuria, which aimed to dismantle the existing capitalist system, redistribute wealth, and introduce socialist reforms. Li Haoyu's forces, comprised of dedicated Communist militants, engaged in guerrilla warfare tactics and gained control over significant portions of Haide. The charismatic leader employed propaganda and social mobilization to bolster his support base, portraying himself as a champion of the working class and an advocate for social justice.

Li Haoyu's audacious bid to reshape Haidean society ignited a protracted and bitter civil war that ravaged the nation from 2063 to 2067. The conflict pitted the forces loyal to the Haidean Republic against Li Haoyu's Communist insurgents. The war was marked by intense battles, urban warfare, and widespread destruction, resulting in significant loss of life and extensive infrastructural damage. Li Haoyu's forces, operating under the banner of the People's Republic of Manchuria, employed guerrilla tactics, propaganda campaigns, and coercion to expand their control and recruit supporters. Despite facing staunch resistance from the Haidean Republic's military and paramilitary forces, Li Haoyu's charisma, organizational skills, and ideological appeal allowed him to maintain a formidable presence in key regions.

The Haidean Civil War reached its climactic conclusion in July of 2067, as government forces launched the Battle of Mudanjiang. Determined to quash Li Haoyu's insurgency once and for all, the Haidean Republic's military launched a massive offensive, unleashing a wave of coordinated attacks against the remaining strongholds of the People's Republic of Manchuria. Facing relentless bombardment and overwhelming force, Li Haoyu's forces found themselves increasingly isolated and outmatched. Despite their fierce resistance, they were gradually pushed back, losing crucial strategic positions and territory. The Haidean Republic's military, bolstered by international support and strengthened by years of conflict, demonstrated superior firepower and strategic coordination.

On July 18, 2067, after days of intense fighting, Haidean Republic forces breached the defenses of Li Haoyu's headquarters. A ferocious firefight ensued within the compound, as both sides engaged in close-quarters combat. Haoyu and several officials attempted to flee the city in an entourage made up of mostly Teslas, however, the autopilot system on Haoyu's car malfunctioned, which caused the car to suddenly accelerate, eventually crashing into a Russian T-14 Armata that was advancing into the city, ultimately killing him.
