Qiao Guanhua was born in Yancheng in 1913; his father was a local land-owner, considered relatively illuminated.

Since his childhood, Qiao Guanhua showed a great intelligence, especially remarkable memory, so he repeatedly skipped school grades, and was admitted to the Tsinghua University at the age of 16.
