The family was poor, but his father was kind and carried the sliding pole to support his five children. Xianhua attended private school for two years and then worked as a farmer. When he was 15 years old, he was drafted into the army. Soon, his parents died one after another. Xianhua was tortured in the Kuomintang army, but fortunately he was reborn in December 1949 and joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

When the Hua class was digging traffic trenches, he first hollowed out the bottom layer and then smashed the upper layer, which improved the work efficiency by two and a half times. When building a stone tunnel, he found a trick to increase the blasting progress from 30 centimeters to 30 centimeters. 50 centimeters; the axes for repairing fortifications and chopping firewood were not enough, so he let the soldiers rest and he worked all night in the wind and snow; after the work was done, he let the soldiers rest while he went down the mountain to fetch water; at night, after everyone went to bed, he also shaved the soldiers. He took off the ice cubes from his shoes and dried the wet shoes; when the soldiers' feet were frozen, he gave the winning socks to the soldiers to wear, while he wrapped his feet with rags; there was little lamp oil in the class, so he peeled greens, crushed them and baked them to dry them. The method of replacing lamps solved the urgent need. Xianhua led the soldiers to successfully complete the task of building fortifications and won the third-class merit.

On the eve of the counterattack in Guandaili, Jincheng, the Xianhua Class made a series of pre-war preparations. According to the superior's deployment, the key to this battle is blasting. Without blowing up the enemy's main position and command post on the mountainside, we can't even try to attack from anywhere. This arduous blasting task was handed over to Xianhua Class.
At 5 pm on September 29, 1952, the Guandaili counterattack began. Xianhua led the party members and soldiers in the class to swear: "When the party needs it, I am willing to sacrifice my life!" Xianhua directed the class to divide into two blasting groups to rush to the target.

He was shot and fell to the ground in the middle, but he still tried his best to get close to the enemy's fire point, lit the fuse and braved the dense rain of bullets, rushed into the tunnel, killed more than 40 enemy people, eliminated the fire point, cleared away the obstacles for the troops to advance, and opened the door for Guandaili The victory in the counterattack created the conditions.

I am willing to sacrifice everything for the whole, for victory, for the liberation of the people of China and North Korea and all mankind."

An incendiary bomb fell right next to Qiu Shaoyun, and flying sparks splashed on his left leg. The incendiary liquid burned all over his body, burning his cotton clothes, hair and skin. There is a ditch next to him. As long as he rolls into the ditch, he can put out the fire? Because Qiu Shaoyun is a soldier in the sharp knife squad and is responsible for cutting the enemy's barbed wire after the battle starts, so the ambush is farther forward. As long as he moves a little, he can put out the fire. There was a chance that they would be discovered, and the entire platoon would be discovered, and the entire operation might fail. But the heroic Qiu Shaoyun didn't move from beginning to end, letting his whole body burn. In order not to expose the lurking troops, he strictly abided by discipline, gritted his teeth, and allowed the fire to burn his body without moving.
He dug his hands deeply into the soil and pressed his body tightly against the ground. He endured the severe pain with amazing perseverance, remaining silent and motionless until he died heroically. He was only 26 years old at the time. The moment Qiu Shaoyun's comrades had been waiting for finally arrived! At 5:30 pm, the enemy's gunfire stopped, the flames gradually extinguished, and there was silence on the position. Suddenly, more than 500 volunteer soldiers lurking in the grass exploded like a time bomb. After Comrade Qiu Shaoyun died, the Korean people and the Chinese People's Volunteers, with deep respect, stood on the stone wall of Heights 391. A line of big characters was engraved on it: "Comrade Qiu Shaoyun, the great soldier who sacrificed himself for the whole and for victory, will be immortal!" In order to commend Qiu Shaoyun's heroic deeds, the superior party committee ratified him as a member of the Communist Party of China.
