He was the younger brother of the prominent novelist Mao Dun (Shen Yanbing) and a member of the 28 Bolsheviks.

From 1916 to 1919, Shen Zemin attended school in Nanjing with Zhang Wentian, who became another member of the 28 Bolsheviks.

He taught at the left-wing Shanghai University, and married his student Zhang Qinqiu in 1924.

In late 1925 and early 1926, Shen and Zhang went to the Soviet Union to attend Moscow Sun Yat-sen University.

In January 1931, at Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, Shen Zemin was made a Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary for the Eyuwan Soviet.
