General Wang Jinshan was a well-known founding general, and in the war years, he was a famous Wang madman, who specialized in fighting hard battles and making countless achievements. In 1953, after returning from Korea, Wang Jinshan was appointed commander of the Beijing Military Region, and in 1955 he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. But in November 1964, he was demoted to colonel for some reason and sent to the outskirts of Henan to become a deputy farm director. It was not until five years later, with the help of General Xu Shiyou, that he returned to the military circles and served as deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region. No one expected that in this position, Wang Jinshan completed his legendary life at the age of 64.
In 1978, Wang Jinshan died of illness and wrote a memorial service. At that time, the commander of the Nanjing Military Region entrusted the task of drafting a memorial message to General Xiao Yongyin, who came to see him off. General Xiao Yongyin was Wang Jinshan's old subordinate, and when he wrote about the title of old chief, the sub-character really made it impossible for him to write. How could Wang Jinshan, a generation of war generals, explain his vigorous life to the deputy chief of staff? After writing the eulogy, Xiao Yongyin was always obsessed with the adverb, and finally he made up his mind to cross out the adverb. However, this title was not something that Xiao Yongyin could change by saying that he could change it, and he turned his mind and sent a letter to the political commissar.
At the beginning, it was written: Xiao Yongyin asked the leader to look over, and this was the memorial service of Comrade Wang Jinshan, commander of the Sixth Column. This move is completely forcing the political commissar to remove the sub-word. If others did this, the political commissar would be furious, but Xiao Yongyin was his beloved general, and Wang Jinshan was a rare fierce general under him, and the merits he had made were of course clear to the political commissar.
Therefore, the political commissar personally called Xiao Yongyin: "Are you fooling around, people are already dead, you can't give orders." The commissar was silent for a moment and said, "Then call the adviser." "According to the regulations at that time, this advisory position was rated with the commander of the military district. That is to say, after Wang Jinshan's death, the military rank was promoted to one and a half levels. This result made Xiao Yongyin not expect that the old chief would be treated like this after his death, and Xiao Yongyin's inner depression was also swept away.
