Her mother, Hu Lingsheng, was a senior editor at Workers' Daily. Her father, Cao Qifeng, had a midlevel post in a trade union.

Hu Shuli attended Beijing's prestigious 101 Middle School. The Cultural Revolution brought criticism to her family (her mother was placed under house arrest). She became a Red Guard and traveled around the country, trying to educate herself as best she could. After two years she joined the People's Liberation Army, and when college classes resumed in 1978, she won entrance to the Renmin University of China.( People's University of China), from which she graduated in journalism in 1982. Before Caijing, she was working as assistant editor, reporter and international editor at the Worker's Daily, China's second largest newspaper.
