In 1956, Zhang Geng transferred to the financial department of Tongbai County. He used the financial and accounting knowledge he had learned at the Army's Invalides School to pick up lights and fight at night, and to write accounting textbooks without sleeping or eating. After arduous efforts, the accounting methods such as the "Agricultural Receipt and Payment Cash Accounting Method" and the "Advanced Social and Social-run Industry, Canteen Receipt and Payment Accounting Method" compiled by him were used as teaching materials for accounting training courses and promoted and used throughout the county, which played a great role in the financial management of Tongbai rural areas at that time.

The elderly have repeatedly paid out of their own pockets and appealed in many ways to strive for project approval and construction funds from relevant departments. With the efforts of him and relevant departments, the Tongbai Hero Monument was finally built. The Tongbai Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery began preparations in 2014 and is now basically completed.

"As a Communist Party member, we should always bear in mind the society, be enthusiastic about public welfare, and let the revolutionary spirit carry forward!"

A heart, a lifetime, dedicated to the party. Zhang Geng, a 64-year-old party member, deeply hides his merits and fame, and in the torrent of the times rolling forward, he interprets the original intention and mission of communists with practical actions.
