In May 1924, he was admitted to the first phase of Huangpu Military Academy. He actively supported Sun Yat Sen's idea of "uniting with Russia, the Communist Party and supporting agriculture and workers", and vowed to "devote himself to the revolution and revitalize China".

In October 1933, Chiang Kai Shek withdrew his post as brigade commander and transferred him to the special class of the Army University to study because he did not take action during the "encirclement and suppression" of the workers' and peasants' Red Army. In July 1937, Japanese imperialism launched a comprehensive war of aggression against China. In August, the battle of Songhu began. Zheng zuomin, who was the commander of the ninth division of the second army, read out the letter of determination submitted to the national government, Chiang Kai Shek, Huangpu classmates' Association and Jiang Dingwen at the official assistant meeting of the whole division. At the same time, he read out the letter to his mother: "male now leads the division to go back to the battlefield. If he fails, he will be benevolent. He vows to fight the enemy to the end and drive the enemy out." He also repeatedly admonished his subordinates: "if you seek benevolence, you will be honored when you die. As long as the civil servants don't want money and the military officers are not afraid of death, the Japanese devils will go out obediently. ". In the spring of 1938, Zheng zuomin led his troops to take part in the battle of Xuzhou, breaking through the encirclement of the enemy.

On the eve of his departure, he left a letter to his wife, who was determined to kill the enemy and serve the country. At the beginning of January 1940, he cooperated with Du Yuming's Fifth Army to attack the Japanese and recover Kunlun Pass. The ninth division was ordered to garrison Kunlun Pass to stop the Japanese from invading the north. On February 22, with the advantage of the air force, the Japanese army captured Binyang and seriously threatened Kunlun Pass. The Supreme Command repeatedly sent a telegram to the ninth division to withdraw, and Zheng zuomin called back: "after fighting back the enemy, move in turn." Not approved. So he decided to pretend to attack the whole line before dusk, and the command troops retreated calmly. In the middle of the attack, the enemy planes attacked in turn, and the division headquarters could not be transferred. On the evening of March 3, Zheng zuomin was shot and died for his country.

In the 19th year of the Republic of China, he took part in the "Central Plains war". In October of the Republic of China, he was promoted to the commander of the 26th brigade of the ninth division. In November, at the order of Chiang Kai Shek, he led the Ministry to take part in the second "encirclement and suppression" against the workers' and peasants' Red Army. Later, in the fourth and fifth "encirclement and suppression", Zheng zuomin all used various excuses to delay. Seeing that Japanese imperialism coveted China, he felt that the Chinese should not always beat the Chinese. Therefore, he was dismissed by Chiang Kai Shek and transferred to the Army University to study in the training class. Later, he was still the brigade commander. After the July 7th incident, Zheng zuomin, who was then the commander of the ninth division of the second army, was determined to drive out the Japanese devils to the death. He took part in the Guangfu battle in the Songhu battle, the Xuzhou breakout battle and the Tianjia town guard battle in the Wuhan battle. After the outbreak of the national anti Japanese war in 1937, Zheng zuomin, then deputy commander of the 9th division of the 2nd army of the Kuomintang army, was ordered to take part in the battle of Songhu. Zheng zuomin, together with division commander Li Yannian, commanded the 9th division and cooperated with other troops to launch a fierce battle with the Japanese army on the Guangfu line.

During the Wuhan games, Zheng zuomin was promoted to the commander of the 9th division of the 2nd army. On July 14, Zheng zuomin was ordered to lead the 9th division to Tianjia town to take charge of the northwest of Tianjia town fortress. Tianjia town is an important place for both sides to fight for because of its important geographical location, which is the Yangtze River route and Wuhan barrier. Zheng zuomin is deeply aware of the great responsibility this time. For this reason, before the war, Zheng zuomin led his troops to seize the time to build fortifications and called on all the soldiers to unite and fight the enemy bravely. After the Japanese attack, Zheng zuomin led his troops to fight tenaciously with the Japanese army's land, sea and air forces. He fought with blood and would rather die than retreat. He completed the scheduled task of blocking the Japanese army and delaying the Japanese army's advance to Wuhan. On November 15, 1939, in order to cut off China's coastal traffic line and control Nanning as its southward base, the Japanese aggressors dispatched more than 40000 people to fight fiercely with the Chinese army under the cover of more than 100 planes and more than 50 ships. On December 24 and December 4, they successively occupied Nanning and Kunlun Pass. In order to recover Nanning, recapture Kunlun Pass and protect the southwest Anti Japanese rear, the military authorities of the Kuomintang decided to launch a counter offensive. Zheng zuomin, who was promoted to deputy commander of the 2nd army and division commander of the 9th division at that time, was ordered to lead his troops from Duyun, Guizhou, to the front line of Kunlun Pass to participate in the Kunlun Pass campaign. Before leaving, Zheng zuomin made a will, arranged his family affairs, and was determined to fight the Japanese army to the end. At the beginning of January 1940, Zheng zuomin was ordered to lead the 9th division to defend. In order to ensure Nanning, the Japanese army drew troops from Guangdong for reinforcement. On February 2, the Japanese army, relying on its air superiority, attacked Binyang and other places, seriously threatening the garrison of Kunlun Pass. Later, because the left-wing 36th army of the 9th division was surrounded by the Japanese army, Zheng zuomin led his troops to support. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by the Japanese army. On February 3, in order to reverse the passive situation, Zheng zuomin braved the Japanese artillery fire and commanded the troops to fight back. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and died. He was 38 years old.
