Shanxi is full of talents, and as Wang Shiying, the founder of the Shanxi United Front during the war, let's talk about his legendary life today and how he contributed to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland through his own abilities.
Wang Shiying was born in a poor family in Shanshan. As a teenager, he attended a normal school. Influenced by new ideas, he took the lead in participating in student movements and was ruthlessly expelled from the school. Unwilling to be ordinary, he made the right choice and joined the big family of our party. He was then sent to the Henan National Army to engage in military movement work. His life opened a new chapter.
secretly cooperated with the party work - conveying intelligence and protecting comrades
In 1931, Wang Shiying was sent to Nanjing to start work as a special commissioner. With careful planning, bold decisions, and strict organization, he rescued a group of trapped party members from the enemy. At the same time, he established an important communication hub for our party through his own relationships. Under his leadership, Nanjing's underground organizations developed rapidly. was later transferred back to Shanghai to take charge of the Intelligence Department, secretly transporting underground intelligence in the name of a family of three. At that time, due to the rebellion of internal personnel, the entire system was in danger. At this time, a large number of party members needed to be relocated as soon as possible. He and his comrades planned to organize hundreds of party members to move to the track and field, preserving important backbone forces for our party.
Promote anti-Japanese work - persuade generals to gather troops
On the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War , Wang Shiying received a difficult task to help General Ye return to China to join the anti-Japanese war. Wang Shiying conveyed the instructions of the Party Central Committee to General Ye, which was highly recognized by the other party. General Ye made it clear that he would go north to fight against Japan, and later he served as the first commander of the New Fourth Army.
Wang Shiying also met with Li Zongren and elaborated on our party's anti-Japanese proposition. Li Zongren said that he would forget all past grievances and unite with the outside world. Later, Li Zongren indeed led the Guangxi Army to travel thousands of miles to East China and shed his blood to resist the Japanese aggressors.
Give full play to united front capabilities - negotiate wisely and fight against Japan together
In 1936, Wang Shiying established the North China Liaison Bureau in Tianjin to engage in military united front work. On the one hand, we are trying every means to absorb outstanding people and expand the size of our party in a difficult environment. On the other hand, we are trying to prevent from civil war and unite in the war of resistance. He also personally went to Xi'an to negotiate secretly with Yang Hucheng, and finally reached an agreement to jointly resist Japan.
tried every means to persuade - argued with reason, fulfilled the mission
In 1938, Wang Shiying carried out comprehensive work in the Shanxi Eighth Route Army Office , In the past three years, he fought with Yan Xishan in a well-founded and well-founded manner, giving full play to his wisdom. turned the tide and successfully persuaded Yan Xishan, completing the special tasks assigned by the Party Central Committee. His outstanding work ability was highly praised by the leaders.
During the Anti-Japanese War , he was brave and capable as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. During this period, he participated in many battles, led the troops to fight to the death with the enemy, and made outstanding contributions to the complete victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
In 1942, the so-called "rescuing the fallen" movement was launched in Yan'an. Wang Shiying rescued many people who were stuck in the quagmire in his own way.
After the founding of New China, Wang Shiying successively served as Secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Shanxi Province. Because he had left the military system at this time, according to the principle of awarding titles, Wang Shiying no longer participated in the awarding of titles, so he did not have any military rank when he was awarded the title in 1955. For Wang Shiying, he didn't care about these formal things. The practical thing he needed to do was to build a new China. Even if he didn't hold a position, he still had to fulfill his basic mission as a party member.
In 1962, Wang Shiying worked as a supervisor of the Supervisory Committee in Beijing. At the same time, he and Kang could not avoid face-to-face contact. They had conflicts in Yan'an before. At this time, the conflict could be intensified at any time. How could Kang, who was in a senior position, let go of this opportunity? This was very detrimental to Wang Shiying.Wang Shiying wanted to save Wang Chaobei at this time, but Kang took the opportunity to cause trouble for him, so he ordered the task force to arrest Wang Shiying and imprison him. Wang Shiying was physically and mentally tortured, but he fought to the death and died at the age of 63.
Wang Shiying has been engaged in the underground work of our party for more than ten years. He has adhered to the truth and sought truth from facts throughout his life, and has made outstanding contributions to the construction and development of the party. He is a true patriot.
