For Wang De, many people really didn't hear much, because he was only awarded the rank of colonel in 1955.
Although Wang De participated in the revolution, he had been engaged in underground work during the period of the agrarian revolution. It was not until after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that he went to Yan'an To study at the Anti-Japanese War and later participated in the anti-war struggle.
During the 8 years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the work was divided into two parts. In the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he had been working at the Kang University Branch, and in the late stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he went to the Shandong Military Region as the chief of the operations section.

In 1958, he was asked to change careers to the local area, why?

Shandong Provincial Planning Commission is deputy director.
After transferring to the local area, he could only work steadily, and it was unlikely that he would want to return to the army. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Marshal Luo Ronghuan once again served as the director of the General Political Department, and he was to be transferred from the local area back to the work of the army.
Later, he was promoted to major general because of his position.
He worked in the Nanjing Military Region for more than twenty years, and in 1976, he was transferred to the nanjing military region
The Lanzhou Military Region served as deputy chief of staff, later promoted to chief of staff, and later retired from this position.
