Qu Qiubai studies Russian language at the National Institute of Russian Language in Beijing.
During the winter of 1918-1919, he joined Li Dazhao's informal study group on the Russian Revolution and Marxism and in May 1919 he began publishing short translations of Russian authors.
By 1920, before his first trip to the Soviet Union, Qu had begun to comment on the value of Russian literature. These early comments are our best evidence of the ways in which the political and the literary sides of his interest in Russia were connected.
