After Zedong's parents died in 1920, Zejian unwillingly married a fruit seller in Changsha at the age of 15, as a child bride, where she was maltreated in the new family. In 1921 she divorced her husband and followed Mao Zedong to Changsha, where she attended women's polytechnic school. She joined the Communist Party in 1923, and changed her name to Mao Daxiang (Chinese: 毛达湘). In the same year she was admitted to Hengyang Provincial Third Women's Normal School. She married a communist member Fen Chen (Chinese: 陈芬) in 1925. In 1928 she joined the Hunan uprising led by De Zhu and Yi Chen in Leiyang. Since then she led uprising activities as a female guerrilla soldier around Hunan Province. In May 1928 she was caught in a guerrilla activity together with her husband Fen Chen. She was tortured in prison. Her young child born in prison was killed by Kuomintang authorities shortly after birth. She was executed at Hengshan, Hunan Province (Chinese: 湖南衡山县) on 20 August 1929.
