Li Wei the Magistrate II is a 2004 Chinese television historical comedy-drama and the sequel to the 2001 hit-series Li Wei the Magistrate, again starring Xu Zheng as the titular official Li Wei. Xu also co-directed the series with Zhou Shidu.

In the sequel, the Kangxi Emperor had died, and Li Wei became a high-ranking minister under Yongzheng Emperor (and no longer just a magistrate).

Filming began in August 2003 in Hengdian World Studios.[1] It was first broadcast in February 2004 locally in the Nanjing area.[2]

It was followed by a 2005 sequel Li Wei Resigns from Office, starring Paul Chun as an older Li Wei.

Cast and characters

Most of the main cast from Li Wei the Magistrate returned, except the 3 actresses Chen Hao, Li Qian and Wen Bo. Their roles were filled by Sun Feifei, Shu Chang and Tan Xiaoyan respectively.
