There was once such a group of people, although they were not on the battlefield, but they went to great lengths for the party's cause on the hidden front, and Xiong Jinyu was one of them.
He worked hard for the party to manage finances, but he was willing to do it, and he was a veritable "red housekeeper". Zhou Enlai called him "the most confidential organ of the Party Central Committee, born and dead, made great contributions, and was the most reliable."

Xiong Jinling, born in 1886 in Changsha, Hunan Province, in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, his father named him Qingting, as he grew older, he was determined to "be a sound and impressive revolutionary, as precious as jade", so he changed his name to Jinling.
Xiong Jinyu
Xiong Jinyu was influenced by Xu Teli to come into contact with progressive ideas, joined the Xinmin Society in 1918, became acquainted with Mao Zedong, He Shuheng, Xie Jueya and others, and participated in the May Fourth Movement in Changsha. Because of his sophistication and financial acumen, he was appointed to take charge of the fundraising work of the Xinmin Society.

In 1928, Xiong Jinyu moved to Shanghai and was appointed chief of the accounting section of the Central Secretariat, where he engaged in secret work under the direct leadership of Zhou Enlai. At that time, Shanghai was under the White Terror, and in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he and his lover Zhu Duanshou used the "Fuxing Firm" as a cover to ensure the operation of the central secret organs in a "socialized" and "family-oriented" way, and Zhou Enlai, Li Lisan, and Deng Xiaoping often came here to attend meetings of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
From 1928 to 1931, with the increasing contacts between the central government and various localities, it was urgent to increase the number of secret contact points. Under the instructions of Zhou Enlai, Xiong Jinyu successively opened wineries, money houses, foreign goods stores, printing houses, silk factories, etc., which not only provided a lot of financial support for the Party Central Committee, but also became an important place for the central leaders to hold meetings, connect, and transmit information, so that the highly confidential central hub was held in the white area.

In 1933, Xiong Jinyu was unfortunately arrested due to a traitor's informant, and no matter how the enemy tortured him, he remained loyal and unyielding, and kept his mouth shut until the outbreak of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War, when he was rescued from prison, at which time he had been detained for several years.
Although he has been managing the party's finances for many years and has handled countless amounts of money, Xiong Jinyu has no savings. He spent his life practicing the oath of working for the party and being loyal to the party. In 1940, Xiong Jinyu's family was seriously ill, and the medical expenses of 10 yuan stumped him, and finally the family died due to lack of effective treatment, and the couple has been sad about this. In 1973, 87-year-old Xiong Jinyu entered the countdown to life, and Premier Zhou Enlai, who was seriously ill, rushed to visit the hospital. ”

On the hidden front, there are many unsung heroes like Xiong Jinyu, who are willing to be incognito, promise the party to serve the country, and are absolutely loyal and unswerving to the party. In the new era and new journey, the state security organs will continue the fine tradition, faithfully practice the oath of "firm purity, reassuring the party, willing dedication, and ability to fight for good" at the forefront of the struggle, and make unremitting efforts to escort the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
