China Institute of Technology in Qiu.

When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, most of the teaching staff failed to move in time. Qiu and others continued to run Jiaotong University in the French Concession. Qiu, together with some celebrities and industrialists, founded "China Institute of Technology" in the French Concession in the summer of 1940 in the name of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) alumni association, with a full two years (no winter and summer vacations) and six semesters. Professor Qiu's physics course is still based on the Outline of College Physics, which is simple and fascinating when giving lectures. At that time, Wang, a student of China Institute of Technology, was noticed by the Japanese puppet authorities for distributing patriotic leaflets and posting patriotic slogans along the road, and was included in the "New Declaration" of the puppet regime, asking them to surrender. When Qiu learned about it, he immediately agreed that Wang and others should change their names to ensure peace. 194 10 After the Pacific War broke out in February, 1942 in August, the puppet regime of Wang Jingwei forcibly took over Jiaotong University. Although Qiu was poor at that time, he resolutely dropped out of school and vowed not to cooperate with Wang Fei. He and five professors who refused to teach at that time were called "anti-pseudo-six professors". After the concession was occupied by the Japanese army, China Institute of Technology was forced to close down. Fortunately, there was only one internship left in the last semester, and the school and Qiu helped students graduate ahead of schedule (from graduation photo, there were at least 47 teachers and students at that time). Since then, Qiu has worked in Nanyang Instrument Factory for one year. After the merger of the factory, he went to work in the Science Society of China (hiding some physical instruments of Jiaotong University), which was even more difficult economically. However, he still contacted social progressives to give a lecture in the basement of the declaration hall to serve the social youth. He talks about physics himself, and other teachers talk about electricians. Regarding Qiu's performance in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Wu, president of Jiaotong University, praised him for his "extraordinary moral integrity" in the article "Mourning Mr. Qiu".
