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.
