may 1, 1904 - Leaves family to study in Japan

Description:

"In the spring of 1904, Qiu Jin confronted her husband with her desire to study there. After selling her jewelry to finance the trip and making a hurried journey back to her hometown, she dressed as a man and traveled third-class on a ferry boat from Shanghai to Japan. She had left not only her husband but also her young son Wang Yuande (b. 1897) and daughter Wang (Qiu) Canzhi (b. 1901)."
