1926

In 1926, Shu went to study physics in the United States, where he initially studied at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas, but later transferred to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

During this time, Shu was quite active in various social and political activities and communities, and it is said that he even once joined the Communist Party USA.

1928

Shu then went to the UK, where, in October 1928 he enrolled in the University of Edinburgh to study mathematics and physics under E. T. Whittaker and Charles Galton Darwin, obtaining his MSc after one year.

1930

Finally, in February 1930 Shu went to the University of Cambridge, and worked under Arthur Stanley Eddington, who that August advised him to return to the US to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Shu took this advice, becoming a teaching assistant at the MIT Department of Mathematics and obtaining a second MSc under Dirk Jan Struik.

1931

In September 1931, Shu returned to China, largely due to pressure from his mother to marry his fiancée, Ge Chuhua.

Shu Xingbei married Ge Chuhua in 1931.

The couple had seven children: Shu Yuexin, Shu Huxin , Shu Xiaoxin , Shu Qingxin , Shu Yixin , Shu Runxin and Shu Meixin.

1932

Shu's first position was in physics at the Whampoa Military Academy but in September 1932, invited by the chair (Zhang Shaozhong ) of the Department of Physics of Zhejiang University, he began teaching there.

1935

In August 1935, Shu became chairperson of the Department of Mathematics of Jinan University, which was at that time located in Shanghai.

Shu was also an adjunct lecturer at Jiaotong University.

1936

In April 1936, President Coching Chu of Zhejiang University invited him to return to that institution, where, in August 1936, Shu was promoted to the rank of associate professor, then in 1937, professor.

During this period, some famous students of his include: Cheng Kaijia, Xu Liangying, Hu Jimin, and Zhou Zhicheng.

In 1952, Shu was transferred to the Department of Physics at Shandong University in Jinan, Shandong Province, then in 1954 to its Department of Oceanography.

1956

In 1956, classified as a leader of anti-revolutionary forces, Shu was purged.

1957

Most notably, one of his students, Tsung-Dao Lee went on to win the 1957 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work on the violation of parity conservation in weak interactions; Lee (together with Chen-Ning Yang) was awarded the prize for the theory.

Another student of his was Chien-Shiung Wu, who received recognition for the experimental verification of the parity violation.

1958

In June 1958, during the Anti-Rightist Movement, Shu was denounced as an ultra-rightist and an anti-revolutionary.

Under the program of "reform through labor" (laogai), he was sent to work on the construction of the Yuezikou Reservoir in Qingdao.

On 11 September 1974, Shu partially regained his normal life.

1978

She received in 1978 the Wolf Prize in physics.

In 1978, Shu was transferred to the Chinese State Oceanic Administration where he became a professor and senior researcher for oceanic dynamics at its First Research Institute of Oceanography.

In 1979, when the Oceanic Physics Branch of the Chinese Society of Oceanography was established in Guangzhou, Shu was elected its honorary director-general.

In December 1979, the Chinese government completely removed Shu's classification as a rightist and anti-revolutionary, restoring his reputation.
