The predecessor of the Ministry of Urban Work was the Ministry of Urban Work, which was later renamed the United Front Department, which is responsible for China's cooperation, ethnic and religious affairs, and is a very important department. What we want today is the person who has served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, and he is Gong Yubing.
Gong Yingbing was born in 1896 in Changsha, Hunan Province, into a declining landowning family. The early death of his parents left him alone, but this unfortunate experience sharpened him and strengthened his will.
As a child, Gong was exposed to progressive ideas and participated in the May Fourth Movement in 1919. After Marxism-Leninism began to spread in China, he joined the Communist Party of China in 1923 as a full member.
Gong Yubing was sent to Baise, Guangxi, and made important contributions to the Baise Uprising and the establishment of the Red Seventh Army. In 1930, he was transferred to the ** Special Branch, mainly engaged in intelligence work, and established an underground intelligence station in Shanghai, becoming an important intelligence officer of our party in the Kuomintang region.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Gong Yubing and his wife were ordered to set up three underground radio stations to send intelligence to Yan'an on a regular basis. In 1942, Li Bai's radio station was exposed, and Gong Yubing and his wife delivered the news in time to avoid greater losses.
They later went to Chongqing and continued to work in underground intelligence. During the Liberation War, Gong Yubing was still engaged in intelligence work, and even disguised himself as a Buddhist layman to cover his identity. ** He was once jokingly called "Minister Monk".
These stories show Gong Yingbing's important contribution to the history of the Chinese revolution. Gong Yinbing successively served as the vice minister of the Ministry of Light Industry and the vice minister of the Ministry of Light, and became the vice minister of New China. He died in 1976 at the age of 80.
It is worth mentioning that Gong Yubing's son Gong Yuzhi is a high-profile educator, who has successively served as a doctoral supervisor and professor of philosophy of science and technology at Peking University, and deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department.
