Stevedores. 
Coolie subsistence, Pinghumen Wharf; Hard-working and powerful, Xiong Bingkun is a first-class soldier. The eighth battalion of the Hubei New Army, the post of squad leader is easy to take. In 1909, the Japanese Notification Society and the Communist Advancement Association took root, and the revolutionary ideas took root.
The Communist Party was a revolutionary organization determined to overthrow Manchu rule in 1911. They planned to launch an armed uprising in Wuhan, Hubei Province, on October 6, but the defeat or death of the leaders gave Xiong Bingkun an opportunity.
Between September 24, the date of the decision to decide on the uprising, and October 6, the date of the uprising, the time was very tight and the preparations were not sufficient, so the command decided to postpone the uprising until October 16.
However, it was during this period that the unexpected happened. When Sun Wu, the commander-in-chief of the uprising, was preparing a bomb in the Russian Concession in Hankow, he unfortunately triggered ** and was seriously injured himself.
* The patrol soon arrived, and the uprising proclamation, the flags of the 18 provinces, and the list of revolutionaries who participated in the uprising were raided, and the secrets of the uprising were exposed.
In the Wuchang Uprising, Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji and Yang Hongsheng, the three leaders of the revolutionary party, were the banners of the rebel army. However, they were unfortunate after the uprising**.
In the face of the interrogation of the Qing army, they did not flinch, firmly defended their beliefs, and chose death without hesitation. In the end, in the early morning of October 10, they died heroically at the Dongyuan Gate of the Huguang Governor's Office.
In the face of the sudden crisis, the Wuhan revolutionaries and the command of the uprising fell into confusion, lost contact with each other, and even the new army that was preparing to participate in the uprising was confiscated**.
At this critical moment, Xiong Bingkun, a senior soldier squad leader of the 8th Battalion of the Hubei New Army Engineering and a party representative of the 8th Battalion of the Communist Advancement Association, with his wisdom and courage, urgently contacted other revolutionaries during the meal time, and decided to launch an uprising on the evening of October 10 according to the original plan.
Xiong Bingkun's resolute actions and firm conviction laid a solid foundation for the success of the uprising.
At the critical juncture when the Hubei New Army was about to revolt, platoon commander Tao Qisheng found a soldier surnamed Jin who was preparing for an uprising and ordered someone to arrest him. However, Cheng Zhengying, a revolutionary, decisively shot and killed Tao Qisheng, and killed Huang Kunrong, Zhang Wentao and other officers who came to suppress him, and gunfire suddenly broke out in the eighth battalion.
Faced with this situation, Xiong Bingkun stepped forward and provoked the pillars of the uprising. After hearing the gunshots, he immediately assembled his troops, carried out a simple mobilization, and in his capacity as the party representative of the eighth battalion and the captain of the revolutionary army, he fired three shots into the air in a row, and led his troops to successfully capture the "Chuwangtai Armory."
The capture of the Chuwangtai armory was a crucial step in the uprising, and it ensured that the follow-up troops had enough ** and ammunition to fight.
1.Xiong Bingkun quickly assembled the rebel troops and attacked the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang. After a fierce battle, Governor Rui took advantage of the night to escape from the back wall of the Governor's Office, and the Revolutionary Army attacked again in the early hours of the morning, finally occupying the Governor's Office.
Subsequently, Hanyang, Hankou and other places were also occupied by the revolutionary army, and the Xinhai Uprising achieved a complete victory. 2.Xiong Bingkun was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a major general in only five days.
In the absence of a superior command, he led the 8th Battalion to spontaneously carry out an uprising and became the first hero of the Xinhai Revolution. Only five days after the uprising, Li Yuanhong appointed him as the commander of the Fifth Association (Brigade) of the Revolutionary Army, and he was promoted to five ranks in a row, a speed that no one can match.
Xiong Bingkun was a hero of the Xinhai Revolution, and with his courage and wisdom, he was promoted from a sergeant squad leader to a major general brigade commander in only five days. He later participated in the Yangxia Campaign, where he fought fierce battles with the Qing army at several points in Hankou.
However, the gains of the Xinhai Revolution were soon usurped by Li Yuanhong, Yuan Shikai and others, and Xiong Bingkun parted ways with them. In 1913, he was wanted for opposing Li Yuanhong, Yuan Shikai and others to sabotage the republic, and was forced to leave his post as commander of the 5th Brigade, flee to Guangdong, and join the Second Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen.

Xiong Bingkun, a revolutionary who dedicated his life for peace and democracy, on the eve of the liberation of Wuhan, he telegraphed against ** and actively promoted the peace movement. Although he stayed at home at the time of liberation to welcome the arrival of New China, he never considered personal enjoyment.
However, his life was very simple, and his dwelling was small, dilapidated, and leaky. But it was such a person that Hubei Provincial Governor Zhang Tixue suddenly came to visit him at his home and paid his respects.
Xiong Bingkun, the leader of the Xinhai Revolution, upheld the spirit of honesty and self-discipline throughout his life. Even in his old age, he insisted on refusing to move to the provincial party secretary Zhang Tishi, believing that the country was in a period of construction and resources should not be wasted for him.
