Several of her elder brothers have studied in Japan, and have been influenced by them since childhood to pursue new knowledge. At the age of 6, he entered a private school, and at the age of 8, he entered a new primary school founded by his elder brother in the county. She is good at both character and learning in school and dreams of becoming a Mulan hero. Later, he entered Hunan No.3 and No.1 women's normal school and Zhounan women's school. He got to know Cai Hesen and Mao Zedong because of his classmate relationship with CAI Chang, Cai Hesen's sister. After graduating in 1916, Xiang Jingyu returned to his hometown in Xupu. He broke the traditional concept of "men are superior to women" at that time and became the president of a new school, trying to save the country through education. In the school, she asked the girls to release their feet, untie the foot binding for them, and accompany them home one by one to mobilize their parents.

In the summer of 1919, Xiang Jingyu, in order to avoid the entanglement of the garrison chief's marriage proposal and to seek the truth, went to the sofa to set up a women's work study program in France, and joined the "Xinmin society" presided over by Mao Zedong and Cai Hesen. In the winter of 1919, Xiang Jingyu, Cai Hesen, Cai Chang, Cai Mu and Ge Jianhao went to France by boat. While working in gum factories and textile factories, she studied French and Marxism Leninism, and joined the "work study world society" organized by Zhou Enlai.

At the end of 1921, Cai Hesen and others who were in France were sent back by the authorities for participating in the student movement, and Xiang Jingyu, who was pregnant, also returned. The following year, she joined the party in Shanghai, and then participated in the second National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She was elected a member of the CPC Central Committee and served as the central women's minister. Since then, she continued to be elected as a member of the CPC Central Committee at the third and fourth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. She has led 15000 women workers' strikes in 14 silk factories in Shanghai and 7000 workers' strikes in Nanyang Tobacco Factory. She has also written many manifestos and articles on women's Liberation Movement for the Party Congress and newspapers.

In 1925, Cai Hesen went to the Soviet Union to attend international conferences, and Xiang Jingyu went with him to study in the Chinese class of Oriental University. In April 1927, Xiang Jingyu returned to China to participate in the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He stayed in Wuhan and was responsible for the leadership work of Wuhan Federation of trade unions, Hankou propaganda department, Hubei provincial Party committee and Wuhan municipal Party committee.
