咸豐初，從湘軍，隸李續賓部下。 Early in the Xianfeng reign he joined the Hunan Army and served under Li Xubin.

從攻武昌，六年，李續賓夜出偵賊，之雙鳳山，突戰，寬世潛繞山趾橫擊之，賊敗奔； During the assault on Wuchang, in 1856 Li Xubin went out one night to scout Shuangfeng Mountain and was drawn into a sudden fight; Kuanshi slipped around the mountain's base and hit the rebels in the flank, sending them fleeing;

既而羅澤南卒於軍，續賓代將，召寬世回營。 When Luo Zinan died in the field, Xubin succeeded to command and recalled Kuanshi to camp.

從李續賓進軍安徽，戰楓香鋪、小池驛，克太湖、潛山，搗舒城，寬世皆為軍鋒。 He followed Li Xubin into Anhui, fighting at Fengxiangpu and Xiaochi Post, capturing Taihu and Qianshan, and raiding Shucheng, with Kuanshi leading the van throughout.

十月，進攻三河，續賓戰沒，寬世斂餘眾守二日，彈丸俱盡，夜率親卒突圍，受重傷。 In the tenth month, during the assault on Sanhe, Xubin was killed; Kuanshi rallied the survivors, held out two days until their ammunition was gone, then broke out by night at the head of his personal guard and was badly wounded.

李續賓軍覆三河，潛山、太湖复陷，際昌屯英山，遏潛、太之衝。 After Li Xubin's army was destroyed at Sanhe and Qianshan and Taihu fell again, Jichang held Yingshan and blocked the corridor between Qianshan and Taihu.

週寬世為李續賓所倚，無役不從，及自將亦未著奇績。 Zhou Kuanshi was a man Li Xubin trusted and he followed him in every campaign, but when he commanded on his own he never won any striking success.

咸豐四年，應募入李續賓營，從克岳州、武昌，累功擢守備。 In the fourth year of Xianfeng he enlisted in Li Xubin's battalion, took part in capturing Yuezhou and Wuchang, and rose through merit to garrison commander.

達武每戰陷陣，手大旗盪決，續賓異之，使領百人曰信字營，常為軍鋒。 In every fight Dawu plunged into the fray, sweeping forward with the great standard. Xubin took notice of him and gave him command of a hundred men in the Xinzi Battalion, and he was often the army's vanguard.

從續賓攻舒城，達武率死士先登，左耳受槍傷，克城後，留守。 Following Xubin against Shucheng, Dawu led dare-to-die men over the walls first, took a musket wound in the left ear, and after the city fell was left to hold it.

俄續賓覆軍三河，舒城守軍亦潰，達武以創重回湖南。 Before long Xubin's army was annihilated at Sanhe and the Shucheng garrison broke as well. Dawu returned to Hunan to recover from his wounds.

七年，李續賓代澤南，使總理營務。 In the seventh year Li Xubin succeeded Luo Zenan and placed Guochen in charge of overall camp affairs.

續賓戰歿三河，國琛與其弟續宜招集散亡，勞徠撫慰，重申紀律，軍勢復振。 After Xubin was killed at Sanhe, Guochen and Xubin's younger brother Xuyi rallied the scattered troops, consoled and reassured them, restored discipline, and the army's fighting spirit returned.

論曰：金國琛為羅、李舊部。 The historians comment: Jin Guochen belonged to the old following of Luo Zenan and Li Xubin.
