Xiao Chunv worked as an apprentice and handyman in her early years, and joined the Hubei New Army. In 1919, he participated in the May 4th Patriotic Movement, taught in Xiangyang Provincial Second Normal School in Hubei and Xuancheng Provincial Fourth Normal School in Anhui, and joined the Mutual Aid Club and Coexistence Club organized by Yun Daiying. In August 1922, he joined the Communist Party of China.

In September 1921, Xiao Chunv was invited to teach in Anhui Provincial Fourth Normal School as a Chinese teacher.He is good at teaching and incorporates revolutionary ideas into teaching activities, and is deeply loved by students.During his teaching period, he once wrote a poem, which said: "Jingting Gongbei, Wanshui surrounds the east, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful and lush. Gaozhai is hidden, and there are many mountains. My school stands in it. Today's young people, who have broken the porridge, will be the masters of East Asia in the future. The future is long and the hair feathers need to be rich. Once you rise up, you will be so powerful." This poem was praised by teachers and students all over the school, and soon it was composed and became the school's school anthem.

In 1922, introduced by Yun Daiying and Lin Yunan, Xiao Chunv went to Sichuan and successively taught in Luxian Sichuan South Normal School, Chongqing Lianhe Middle School, Wanxian Provincial Fourth Normal School, and Chongqing Women's Second Normal School. He spread revolution among students Thought, organized reading clubs, and secretly established the earliest socialist youth league organization in Wanxian area.He also served as the editor-in-chief of "Xinshu Daily", responsible for the newspaper's editorial and current commentary.He made full use of this position to "accuse the warlords of the chieftains" and "swear at corrupt officials", exposing the crimes of feudal warlords' rule and analyzing the root causes of these crimes.His articles are sharp and combative, and even the newspapers and periodicals controlled by the reactionaries have to praise his articles as "words with wind and thunder, sounds like gold and stone".At the same time, he often wrote articles for the party's official publications "Guide" and "Chinese Youth", propagating the revolutionary principles of Marxism.His activities in "Xin Shu News" aroused the dissatisfaction of the reactionary authorities, who were ready to kill him.After the party organization learned of this situation, it immediately instructed him to leave Sichuan temporarily.

At the beginning of 1924, Xiao Chunv of the party faction came to Xiangyang Hubei Provincial Second Normal School again to work.At this time, during the first KMT-CPC cooperation period, besides completing teaching tasks, he devoted his energy to propagating the party's revolutionary united front policy.In August of the same year, the party sent him to Sichuan again as the special commissioner of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Sichuan, leading the revolutionary struggle between the Chongqing Socialist Youth League and Sichuan.In order to mobilize the masses and cultivate activists, he successively initiated and organized the "Sichuan Civilian Society" and "Study and Action Encouragement Association", founded civilian schools, and published the magazine "Sun Guang". Based on the members of these organizations, he promoted Marxism-Leninism And the ideas of the October Revolution, absorb young activists into the group, and at the same time transfer outstanding members of the group to the Communist Party of China.

Xiao Chunv's revolutionary activities in Sichuan made the reactionary authorities and warlord bureaucrats deeply hate her.They threatened and coerced him to leave Sichuan. In May 1925, according to the requirements of the party organization, Xiao Chunv left Chongqing for Shanghai to assist Yun Daiying to participate in the leadership work of the League Central Committee and edit "Chinese Youth". After Dai Jitao's doctrine came out in June 1925, Xiao Chunu wrote the book "National Revolution and the Communist Party of China" to refute Dai Jitao's attacks and slanders on the Communist Party.At the same time, he also wrote an article criticizing the nationalists who opposed the proletarian revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat, which had a great influence throughout the country.

In December of the same year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to transfer a group of cadres to Guangzhou to strengthen the work in Guangdong's revolutionary base areas and lead the united front of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.Xiao Chunv came to Guangzhou in early 1926 at the request of the Party Central Committee, worked as an officer and a professor of political workshops in the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang where Mao Zedong was the acting minister, and assisted Mao Zedong in editing the "Political Weekly".In addition, he was also responsible for compiling and distributing the "Propaganda Outline" to the leftist organizations of the Kuomintang in Guangdong, Guangxi and other areas.

In February 1926, at the initiative of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang reorganized the Peasant Movement Committee, and Xiao Chunu was appointed as a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang.In the Sixth Peasant Movement Workshop in charge of Mao Zedong, he was hired as a teacher.At the end of the same year, he accepted a new task assigned by the party and went to the Whampoa Military Academy as a political instructor.In addition to attending classes, he often goes deep into the students to participate in their political studies and answer their questions.He sorted out the questions raised by the students and published them in the "Whampoa Daily" run by the military academy.

Ms. Xiao Chu once said when she was sick at the Agricultural Lecture Institute and the Whampoa Military Academy: "Students, don't you think that candles can shine brightly? A person should be like a candle. In a limited life, there is a part of the heat and a part of the light. Give people light and warmth.” He vividly described his outlook on life as “candle outlook on life” and used it to motivate himself.He said so, and he did so.Xiao Chunv's "candle spirit" will be passed down from generation to generation among Communists. With the development of the situation of the Great Revolution, Chiang Kai-shek's activities of betraying the revolution became increasingly rampant.Xiao Chunv stood up to fight despite being raped.Using his pen as a weapon, he wrote articles exposing the face and crimes of Chiang Kai-shek's new warlord. On April 15, 1927, Xiao Chunu was arrested in a counter-revolutionary coup in Guangzhou, and died in Nanjing Stone City Prison on April 22 at the age of 34.
