She was good at literature and history, and could write poems. At the age of 15, she learned to ride horses and fencing with her cousin.

In 1894, when his father qiushounan was appointed as the general manager of Xiangxiang County, he betrothed Qiujin to Shenchong king tingjun in Heye town of Shuangfeng County. In 1896, Qiu married Wang. Wang tingjun opened "Yiyuan pawnshop" in Xiangtan. Qiu Jin lived in Xiangtan and often returned to her mother-in-law's home.

When Qiu Jin was in her mother-in-law's bimodal lotus leaf, she often had contacts with Tang Qunying and Ge Jianhao. "She was like brothers and sisters, often gathered together, or drank wine and wrote poems, or played the piano to the moon, or played chess and had heart to heart talks.

Revolutionary career

In July 1904, despite the opposition of her husband Wang tingjun, she broke through the shackles of feudalism and went to Japan to study at her own expense. In Tokyo, she went to the Japanese Language Institute set up by the Chinese students' Association to study Japanese. She often attended international students' conferences and meetings of Zhejiang and Hunan fellow townships, and took the stage to speak revolutionary salvation and feminist principles. In addition to studying in school, Qiu Jin also made friends with many people with lofty ideals among overseas students, such as Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun), Tao Chengzhang, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Chen Tianhua, etc. During this period, Qiu Jin took an active part in the revolutionary activities of the students studying in Japan. She once initiated a common love association with Chen jiefen as a group to carry out the women's movement, and formed a secret association with ten people, such as Liu Daoyi and Wang Shize. With the purpose of finally breaking the feudal shackles on her body, rebelling against the Qing government and restoring Zhongyuan, she founded the vernacular newspaper, participated in the Hongmen Heaven Earth Association, and was honored as the "white paper fan" (Army) Division).

In the process of editing vernacular monthly in Japan, Sun Yat Sen suggested that she should "use propaganda tools to report current affairs and solve practical problems according to this specialty. The more direct the effect, the faster the better.". Qiu Jin has always taken advocating women's rights as her duty. She said that "women's studies are not prosperous, and the race is not strong; women's rights are not strong, and the country will be weak". In order to seek equality between men and women, "women must be knowledgeable, self-supporting, and should not give everything to men." "imitating the example of European and American newsprint, taking slang as an example It is the forerunner of women, men and children. Under the pseudonym of "Jianhu nvxia", she published articles in magazines such as "the benefits of speech", "warning China's 20000 female compatriots", "warning my compatriots", criticizing the ugliness of feudal system, propagating feminism and calling for national salvation. She wrote: "everyone, you should know that it's impossible to rely on others for everything in the world. You should always ask yourself to do it. At the beginning, those corrupt scholars said such nonsense as "men are superior to women", "women are virtuous if they have no talent" and "husband is wife". If we women have ambition, we should call on our comrades to oppose it. " "But from now on, I still hope that our sisters will put the past things aside and try their best to do the future things If we don't pull ourselves together, it will be too late when our country dies. " Between the lines, there is a passion for women's liberation. In autumn, he joined the Qingshan practical girls' school and joined the triad organized by Feng Ziyou in Yokohama.

After graduating from the Japanese Language Institute, he signed up to transfer to the Qingguo women's accelerated normal school attached to the Qingshan practice girls' school in Tokyo, and then returned home to raise money for further study. In 1905, Qiu Jin returned to China. In spring and summer, she met Cai Yuanpei and Xu Xilin in Shanghai and Shaoxing respectively, and Xu introduced her to the restoration conference. After Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin joined the restoration conference, the domestic revolutionary situation developed rapidly.

In July 1905, Qiu Jin went to Japan again and soon went to study in Qingshan practical girls' school. Introduced by Feng Ziyou, he joined the alliance in Huang Xing's residence and was promoted as a member of the appraisal department and a member of the Zhejiang main alliance. During her study in Japan, she wrote many revolutionary poems, which were impassioned, saying: "in such a dangerous situation, she dares to cherish her body and is willing to sacrifice her life." "If you want to save 100000 heads of blood, you have to save the world."

In 1906, after protesting against the Japanese government's ban on foreign students, he returned home and founded a Chinese public school in Shanghai. In March, he went to xunxi women's school, Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province to teach. Xu Zihua, who is in charge of the school's educational affairs, and student Xu shuangyun joined the alliance. In the summer vacation, he left for Shanghai, contacted with Yin Ruizhi, Chen Boping, etc. in the name of "Ruijin society", aojiaxiong, LV xiongxiang, etc. to prepare for the uprising. After the uprising, Ping, Liu and Li, together with members of the alliance, Yang Zhuolin, Hu Ying and Ning Tiaoyuan, responded to the uprising in all provinces of the Yangtze River Basin and took charge of the mobilization of Zhejiang. After arriving in Hangzhou, he made an agreement with Xu Xilin, who was going to Anhui, to launch the campaign in Anhui and Zhejiang provinces at the same time. At this time, she developed in the new army of Hangzhou, and LV Gongwang, Zhu Rui and many other people participated in the alliance and the restoration. Soon after, the Ping Liu Li uprising failed, and the uprising stopped.

In the autumn and winter of the same year, in order to raise funds for the founding of China Women's daily, he went back to her husband's home and got a sum of money. He said goodbye to his family and declared that he was divorced from his family. In fact, Qiu Jin "since determined to revolution, I'm afraid to be involved in the family, so there is a move out of the family, which is to hide people's eyes and ears."

On January 14, 1907, China Women's daily was founded. Qiu Jin advocated women's rights and revolution. It aims at "opening up the atmosphere, promoting women's studies, connecting feelings, forming groups, and establishing the foundation of the Chinese women's Association in the future". He also wrote an "address" for the newspaper, calling on women to be "the forerunner of lion awakening" and "the forerunner of civilization".

go to one 's death unflinchingly

After returning to Shaoxing because of the death of her mother, Qiu Jin went to Zhuji, Yiwu, Jinhua, Lanxi and other places to contact the party. At this time, no one was in charge of Datong school, but was invited to preside over the school affairs in the name of a director. Taking the school as a stronghold, he continued to send people to all parts of Zhejiang Province to contact the society and the party, while he traveled between Hangzhou and Shanghai to move the military and academic circles and prepare for the uprising. She secretly established the military system of recovery, and drafted a proclamation and a notice. She agreed that Jinhua uprising and Chuzhou response would induce the Qing army to attack Hangzhou, and then Shaoxing would cross the river to attack Hangzhou. If not, she would return to Shaoxing, and then through Jinhua and Chuzhou, she would enter Jiangxi and Anhui, echoing with Xu Xilin. Originally scheduled for July 6, 1907 uprising, later changed to 19.

On July 6, 1907, Xu Xilin failed in the Anqing uprising, and the incident broke down.

On July 10, 1907, she knew the news of Xu's failure, but she refused all the advice to leave Shaoxing, saying that "the revolution will succeed only with blood". She dismissed all the people and resolutely stayed at Datong school. On the 13th, the Qing army surrounded Datong school, and Qiu Jin was arrested. She insisted on not giving up her confession, but wrote "autumn wind and autumn rain are very sad".

In the early morning of July 15, 1907, Qiu Jin died at xuantingkou, Shaoxing, at the age of 32.
