Luo Zhi (Chinese: 罗志; also Lo Zu;[1] 1915 – 1949), born Luo Changsheng (罗长生), was a Chinese revolutionary and community leader in Xinjiang. He died just before the region's incorporation into the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Luo Zhi was born Luo Changsheng in Yuangang Village, Yanghe Township in what is today Gaoming District of Foshan City in Guangdong Province in 1915.[2] In 1924, he accompanied his uncle to Manchuria to pursue studies in Changchun.[2] After the Mukden Incident, he changed his name to Luo Zhi and joined the Northeast Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to fight against Japanese rule.[2] In the winter of 1932, he retreated to the Soviet Union.[2] In 1933, he re-entered China and went to Dihua (now Urumqi).[2] In 1935, he studied at Tashkent in the Soviet Union before continuing his studies in the politico-economy department of the Xinjiang Academy, where he was exposed to Marxist-Leninist theories.[2] From 1939 to 1942, he taught at a teacher’s college and middle school in northern Xinjiang and was twice arrested for activism against Chinese Nationalist rule.[2]
