Between 1949 and 1978, Zou held a number of academic and administrative positions in northwestern China.[1] He worked as a researcher at Yan'an University, assistant instructor at the Northwest People's Revolutionary University, secretary in the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Northwest Administrative Committee, and deputy director of the general office of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs.[2] He also served as secretary in the general office of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government, deputy director of the provincial government's Policy Research Office, deputy director of the Bureau of Culture and Education of Baoji, and director of the office of the Shaanxi Civil Affairs Bureau.[3]
