Résumé
Qu Wu (; July 16, 1898 – June 13, 1992) was a Chinese military officer and politician, who most notably served as chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, Vice Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy secretary-general of the National People's Congress, deputy secretary-general of the Central People's Government and vice chairman of the Committee of Foreign Cultural Relations. A graduate of Peking University, Moscow Sun Yat-sen University and the Frunze Military Academy, Qu was a left-wing nationalist; he joined the Kuomintang and married a daughter of Yu Youren, but strongly supported collaboration with the Communists against Japan and aggressive nationalizations of foreign-owned businesses. In 1949, as the Nationalist-appointed Mayor of Ürümqi, he played a leading role in the mostly peaceful incorporation of Xinjiang into the People's Republic of China. Qu was born on July 16, 1898, in Weinan, Shaanxi. In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution broke out. Qu Wu, who was only 13 years old, also joined the ranks of the insurgents. In February 1914, Qu Wu went to Huashan Academy to study. Huashan Academy was founded by Guo Xiren, Liu Airu, and Cao Yinhou, who were known as the "Three Masters of Guanzhong" during the Revolution of 1911 . Qu Wu begged Guo Xiren to take him in, and Guo Xiren agreed to subsidize him to complete his studies there. Qu Wu then studied political science at Peking University, where he was also a leader of the student movement at the Peking University Student Union. In 1919 he became a member of the Kuomintang (KMT) and in April 1922 he married Yu Zhixiu, the eldest daughter of Yu Youren. During the first collaboration between the KMT and the Chinese Communist Party, Qu Wu was one of the students sent to study in the Soviet Union, and he graduated from both Moscow Sun Yat-sen University and later the Frunze Military Academy. In 1927 the partnership between Nationalists and Communists collapsed because of the Shanghai Massacre; Qu Wu did not approve of the actions of Chiang Kai-shek and he decided to remain in the Soviet Union.
