As a former powerful figure, Wang Hongwen had an enviable and brilliant resume, but he was drowned in the torrent of history due to his own corruption and misguided. After being sentenced to a reactionary person at the time, Wang Hongwen spent the rest of his time in prison. After being diagnosed with liver cancer and died of , his ashes have not been buried yet. Today, let’s explore the reasons behind this.
Ups and downs of life
Wang Hongwen was born in a poor family. It was very common for poor people to eat in that era, but no one expected that Wang Hongwen, who was born in such a family, would go astray. Perhaps because of his youth and poverty background, when he was a leader in Shanghai, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and he had a variety of tricks and endless means. Wang Hongwen liked to drink Moutai and collected Moutai. At that time, this was a well-known thing. Even when he was fishing, he asked the people around him to put some Moutai wine next to him. These are typical manifestations of his corruption, which also laid the foundation for him to embark on the road of no return.
Wang Hongwen was suspended for investigation because of corruption when he was the national leader. In 1981, the court sentenced Wang Hongwen to life imprisonment. After that, his life was spent in prison. This is why he disappeared from the public eye later. What was even more surprising was that Wang Hongwen just smiled after hearing the verdict on him. Perhaps he had expected his fate today. It was not until 1992 that when Wang Hongwen died in prison, people learned that he had liver cancer during his sentence and died ineffective rescue. Looking back at Wang Hongwen's 57 years of life, he did not take the people in his heart at all. Perhaps he always believed that he could stand on the shoulders of historical laws and did not follow historical laws at all, which led to his life ending in a tragedy.
Ashes have never been buried
In Wang Hongwen's life trajectory, his wife also plays an important role. His wife is Cui Gendi, who is from Shanghai and works in the 17th cotton mill in Shanghai. Although Wang Hongwen became the vice president of the country, his wife continued to work in a cotton mill like an ordinary person. Cui Gendi gave birth to three children for Wang Hongwen. Although Wang Hongwen was later imprisoned, she insisted on raising the three children alone. After Wang Hongwen was imprisoned, his wife also took her three children to visit him. Moreover, when Wang Hongwen became vice chairman, she wanted to divorce his wife. His wife did not agree, and his wife did not pursue the matter later. This shows that Cui Gendi is a very competent wife. After Wang Hongwen died, he was not buried in the cemetery. His ashes were directly taken home by Cui Gendi and placed at home.
Regarding this practice, Wang Hongwen's daughter Wang Yaping once said that being a child can see her father's urn at home, on the one hand, it means that her father has not yet left them, and on the other hand, it was also a better choice in that era.
Children are very excellent
Wang Hongwen has two sons and one daughter. Because the crime does not harm his family, neither the party nor the government has implicated them. Since these three children have always been raised by Cui Gendi, they are influenced by their mother's advantages and cannot agree with their father Wang Hongwen's approach. They even use this as a warning to reflect on their every word and deed. Because of this, all three children later achieved certain success in the business field and became very outstanding people.
Wang Hongwen's eldest son Wang Yajun is engaged in the antique business. After achieving some achievements, he donated the money he earned to society. The second son Wang Yamin is also a businessman and has made some achievements in the business field. He is also very filial to his mother. Wang Hongwen's third daughter, Wang Yaping, is also a business tycoon. It is said that her wine business is in full swing and she has her own business empire. The United States has invited her to settle down many times, but she has refused. Wang Hongwen's three children are completely different from Wang Hongwen in terms of enlightenment and are very filial, but at the same time, no matter what they do, they will not deliberately avoid their father's identity and only be the truest self.
From being appreciated by Chairman Mao to hope for Wang Hongwen to being disappointed, looking at his life, we should all use his experience as a warning. We must respect the objective laws of history development, and anyone who goes against the rules will be eliminated by history!
