Sorgi received his early schooling at Berlin. His uncle Alfred Sorgi was the secretary to Karl Marx and Sorgi was highly influenced by his uncle. Sorgi joined World War I as a soldier and was twice wounded. While in hospital, he got the doctorate in Political Science from Berlin University in 1920. After his doctorate, he became a teacher. But, he soon resigned and worked in a coal mine. In 1922, he started writing for newspapers. By then, he had mastered in five languages-French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and German. But, gradually, his field of interest changed. He joined the Communist Party and by 1927, he became a secret agent. However, to conceal his true identity, he continued to write and remained a German journalist. In 1930, he was sent to China. It was here that Sorgi had to fulfill many important jobs.
