Qu Qiubai loved literature, but he also struggled on the road of revolution. After his arrest, he was unyielding to the death, and his indomitable spirit of sacrifice was admirable. However, Qu Qiubai's dedication is supported by his theory, which is his theory of "tools of history". It is the profound understanding of the responsibility of intellectuals as "tools of history" that inspires Qu Qiubai to live and fight.
