Guisheng was from the Shandong province of China when in 1916 he signed a five-year contract to join the Chinese Labour Corps, through the Huimin Company.[1][2] He possibly left Qingdao in August 1916, to join the Chinese Labour Corps in France.[1] After the war, he remained in France.[2]
Guisheng worked with the French in the Second World War.[2] He married a French woman and they had two children.[2] He worked as an electrician and had also operated cranes.[2] In 1989, he was one of only two surviving CLC members who were awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1989.[2]
Guisheng died at the age of 106, in La Rochelle in March 2002.[2] Until then he had been the last surviving member of the Chinese Labour Corps.[2]
