He was admitted to the provincial No.3 Normal School in Hengyang, and joined the academic movement launched by the No.3 Normal School in March, 1923, during which he got to know about the advanced revolution ideas at that time, and therefore became determined to find a way for our nation, ethic groups and society to save themselves. He became a member of the Chinese Communist Party in 1925. He participated in the Northern Expedition and the Xiangnan Uprising.
