Embraced Marxist-Leninist ideas at Shanghai University and embarked on the revolutionary road
Zhang Qingfu was born in 1901 to a private school teacher in Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province. He was intelligent and studious from an early age, and was admitted to the Third Normal College of Jiangsu Province in 1916 and to the Department of English Literature of Shanghai University around 1923. Zhang Qingfu said in his memoirs that Shanghai University at that time was characterized by Marxism-Leninism and communist ideas. Therefore, after entering the school, he soon came into contact with progressive books and periodicals such as Marxism-Leninism, and his thinking resonated strongly, "The theory of social revolution in these journals has greatly inspired me and made me have a revolutionary desire." Because of Zhang Qingfu's hard work and ideological progress, he later became the president of the student union of Shanghai University. During this period, in addition to assiduously studying Revolutionary Books and Periodicals such as Marxism-Leninism, he also conscientiously organized students to read progressive books and periodicals such as "Guide" and "New Youth".
In 1923, during his time at the school, in order to better publicize the revolutionary ideas of Marxism-Leninism, he and An Jianping (An Ruoding), Zhang Xiaoliu, and others established the "Lone Star Society" in the school, with the aim of "studying scholarship, discussing problems, thoroughly understanding life, and fundamentally improving society.", and founded the "Lone Star" magazine. Thus a large number of students accepted the progressive ideas of Marxism-Leninism, strengthened their revolutionary convictions, and then chose the Communist Party, raised the banner of communism, and embarked on the revolutionary road.

In July 1925, Zhang Qingfu joined the Communist Party of China through Yun Daiying's introduction at school, and Zhang Qingfu recalled about his ideas when joining the party: "Joining the party at that time was equivalent to dedicating one's life to the revolution, and at any time there was a danger to life, but in order to realize Marxism-Leninism in the Chinese revolution and ultimately win victory, he was willing to sacrifice himself and fight all his life." ”
After joining the party, Zhang Qingfu served as the principal of the Shanghai Civilian School, a civilian school founded by our party to disseminate revolutionary ideas to the broad masses of workers and staff members.
During his time at the school, Zhang Qingfu also actively participated in revolutionary activities in all walks of life, and in 1925, together with Zhou Pingping, Mao Xueqin and others, he founded the "Starlight Newspaper" in Jiangyin.

Liu Zhidan was deeply touched by Zhang Qingfu's courage to uphold the truth and his spirit of daring to struggle, and he once said affectionately: "Zhang Qingfu is a good comrade, but it is a pity that he was tired of me in the process of purging the rebellion." So much so that after Liu Zhidan was released, the first person to ask to visit was Zhang Qingfu.
Zhang Qingfu established a deep relationship with Xu Teli when he was teaching at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University of the Red Army University, when he and Xu Teli lived in a cave, built an old sheepskin in the winter, and swam in the same Yanhe River in the summer.
