preface
For that car accident, Wang Luguang recalled many years later:
I was born in the war years, but I grew up under the red flag, and the first half of my life can be said to be smooth sailing. But that car accident changed my life...
Wang Luguang is the favorite son of General Wang Shusheng, in this case, how should Wang Shusheng deal with the driver who caused the accident?
Born in the war years
General Wang Shusheng had three sons and a daughter in his lifetime. Among them, Wang Luguang was the eldest son of General Wang Shusheng, and he was also the most important child of the general.
On the one hand, Wang Luguang was born in the war period and his life was not easy to come by; on the other hand, among the three sons, Wang Luguang's physical condition was the best.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized the troops of more than 20 divisions to encircle and encroach on the Liberated Areas of the Central Plains in an attempt to eliminate our troops in the Liberated Areas of the Central Plains.
In order to avoid civil war, our side has repeatedly negotiated with the Kuomintang government and expressed its willingness to cede the Central Plains and peacefully transfer its troops to other liberated areas.
The Kuomintang did not listen to our opinion, but continued to mobilize troops, and by the end of June, there were about 300,000 enemy troops surrounding our Central Plains Liberated Area.

Under such a severe circumstance, the Central Plains Military Region prepared to carry out a breakthrough operation in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities. Wang Shusheng, then deputy commander of the military region, believed that it was better to break through to the west and was suitable for our side to carry out guerrilla operations; deputy commander Wang Zhen thought that it was better to break through to the north and that there were fraternal units to meet; commander Li Xiannian thought that it was better for our troops to break through to the east, and there were also friendly troops who could respond.
The three disagreed, so Li Xiannian submitted the three plans to the central authorities. In the end, the central government adopted Wang Shusheng's plan: the main force broke through to the west!
After the battle plan was determined, Wang Shusheng began to lead the team to break through. At that time, General Wang Shusheng's wife Yang Ju was pregnant (Wang Luguang), and in order to avoid affecting the speed of the troops, he deliberately left the troops to hide and wait for later to find her husband.
As the commander of the team, Wang Shusheng shouldered a heavy responsibility, although he did not go back to look for him after he found out that he and his wife had separated.
However, there is no invincible road, and after Wang Shusheng led the team to fight for several days, he was lucky to meet his wife Yang Ju.

Yang Ju knew that the team had not yet successfully broken through, and there was still a fierce battle to be fought. In order to avoid becoming a burden to the team, he decided to drink the fetal medicine.
Yang Ju himself was a doctor, so he found a prescription for Chinese medicine. However, at that time, the guards in front of Yang Ju were unwilling, and they thought that the chief was so old (that year, General Wang Shusheng was 41 years old), there should be children.
To this end, they replaced Yang Ju's medicine, so that the child in her stomach could survive.
In the subsequent breakout operation, because Yang Ju was pregnant, the marching speed was very slow, and everyone carried her away. Later, through the comrades of the underground party, Yang Ju was dressed as the wife of the leader of the Kuomintang regiment, brought out of the encirclement, and left the army...
Wang Luguang was born on November 2, 1946, in a remote mountain village in Linyi County, Shandong Province. For his first child, Wang Shusheng naturally liked it very much.
In order to let the children inherit their revolutionary will, he named his eldest son: Wang Luguang!

If you use one sentence to describe Wang Luguang's growth, it is to be born under the fire of war and grow up in a honeypot. Born in 46, he was liberated in 49, so he did not suffer too much from the war.
Wang Luguang's generation grew up in a way that was not a little stronger than his own father. For his own children, Wang Shusheng naturally has great expectations.
In Wang Luguang's memory, his father was both kind and stern. Because General Wang Shusheng participated in the revolution at a very young age, the war created him, and his personality was to make a decision on the spot and his temperament was more violent.
My father especially wanted us to study hard, because he had never been to school, so he was particularly strict with us.
Once, at the dinner table, Wang Luguang said a few heavy words because the nanny did not wash her clothes. After hearing this, Wang Shusheng slapped the table hard and reprimanded loudly: "How do you talk?" Why is the revolution? It's about equality. These staff members are organizationally assigned to me, and you don't have any right to do anything to them. Why don't you wash your clothes yourself? Also complained that the washing was not clean, and then washed it myself. ”

On another occasion, Wang Shusheng took his family and Xu Shuai's family to Beidaihe for recuperation. Xu Shuai's son Xu Xiaoyan and Wang Luguang have a good relationship, so the two play together every day.
They had a good relationship with the local fishermen, so they learned from them the techniques of rowing and rocking.
Because of this, they borrowed the fishermen's boats to play on the beach by themselves, and played for hours at a time. However, playing at sea, sometimes encountering wind and waves, when the two returned to the shore, Wang Luguang saw his father waiting for him.
Looking at their soaked clothes, Wang Shusheng understood what was going on. After returning home, Wang Shusheng beat up his son without saying a word, scolding: "Do you know my relationship with Xu Shuai?" Xu Shuai is such a son, what if something happens? How do I explain to Xu Shuai? ”
For his father's criticism, Wang Luguang admitted that he did not think it through carefully and would not be so irrational in the future. It can be said that on the road of Wang Luguang's growth, Wang Shusheng has been a good guide!
In Wang Luguang's memory, his father was very low-key and never boasted of his brilliant battle examples. When he was at home, Wang Shusheng never wore a military uniform, like ordinary people wearing civilian clothes, and only when attending major meetings would Wang Shusheng wear his military uniform.
Figure 丨 Wang Shusheng
Although Wang Shusheng never talked to his son about the army, Wang Luguang was born in a military family after all, and most of his friends around him were military families, so he was very interested in being a soldier and weapons and equipment.
In terms of weapons and equipment, Wang Luguang can be said to be deeply influenced by his father!
Regarding weapons and equipment, Wang Shusheng also said to Wang Luguang many times:
When we first made a revolution, we used red guns and large knives, and the enemy planes in the sky chased us everywhere. At this time, I realized the importance of equipment, so I regarded weapons and equipment as my second life and tried my best to take it. Because the troops did not have arsenals at that time and could not build weapons, it was the primary task to seize the enemy's equipment and arm themselves.
After liberation, General Wang Shusheng was appointed Minister of the General Ordnance Department, dedicated to the study and improvement of weapons and equipment. To this end, he hopes that his children can engage in weapons research and contribute to the development of weapons in his country.
It was precisely in this way that Wang Luguang single-mindedly wanted to go to the Kazakh military industry, because if he wanted to engage in equipment, he had to go to a school to study equipment. But later, I learned from a friend that the best school in this regard is Tsinghua.

To this end, Wang Luguang successfully entered Tsinghua university with his own efforts and realized his childhood wish to engage in weapons and equipment.
After graduating from school in 1970, Wang Luguang entered a research institute to study, and soon after entered the Air Force for training. At that time, among the troops, knowledgeable young officers and men were still very popular, and it can be said that Wang Luguang's future was bright.
As Wang Luguang grew older, he also reached the age of falling in love.
Wang Luguang is very good in terms of ability and family lineage. His girlfriend is naturally outstanding, and for the combination of the two, it is naturally supported by the two families.
Heaven forbid
At the end of 1972, Wang Luguang was ready to get married, but there was only one old wardrobe in the house, and no other furniture. After all, it was marriage, and in order not to be so shabby, Wang Luguang moved a stone coffee table placed outdoors to his hut, found a tablecloth to cover, and found two old chairs to put on both sides.
At that time, Wang Shusheng's guards really couldn't see it, although the children of senior cadres were married, and they should not put on a pomp and circumstance. But we can't make marriage so shabby, and ordinary people's families are not like this.
So after consulting with Wang Luguang, he was ready to temporarily borrow the furniture of Wang Shusheng's office to decorate the new house and return it after marriage.

However, when Wang Shusheng learned about it, he asked the guards to return the things to their original places. After Wang Luguang saw his father's approach, he did not understand it, but he borrowed it and did not occupy it.
Wang Shusheng knows his son very well and knows that he is in trouble. For this reason, after dinner, he called Wang Luguang to his side: "Marriage as long as you two really love each other, what do you want to do?" In the past, comrades got married, and there was not even a 'nest', but now you want a room and a bed, which is very good. Besides, marriage is a private matter, so how can you use public things? ”
For his father's words, Wang Luguang still approved, so he did not "toss" anymore, and married according to the previous arrangement. However, just when Wang Luguang was about to become a groom in 4 days, an unfortunate thing suddenly happened.
December 26, 1972, was unforgettable for Wang Luguang.
At that time, because it was almost the end of the year, Wang Luguang's unit needed to do sanitation. Usually he went to the unit late, except that day.
Early in the morning, Wang Luguang left after eating. On this day, the whole city was shrouded in a milky white mist, and there was a thick layer of ice on the ground.
Because it was very cold at the time, Wang Luguang was wearing gloves, and when he left the gate, he took off one of the gloves and showed the doorman a pass.

When I left the gate and was ready to get into the car, my gloves accidentally fell off. Wang Luguang put the bicycle there and bent down to pick it up. Due to the negligence of the driver, Wang Luguang was knocked out three or four meters away.
His injuries were so severe that after being taken to the hospital, he was diagnosed by doctors: four to five thoracic vertebrae misalignment combined with complete paraplegia. This also means that in the years to come, he will not be able to leave a wheelchair, this year he is only 26 years old.
After Wang Luguang learned of this result, he felt that his life was completely over! When Wang Shusheng learned of this news, he immediately rushed to the hospital.
After seeing his son, Wang Shusheng didn't say anything, you have to be strong and so on. They were all talking about some other things, trying to distract Wang Luguang.
General Wang Shusheng, who was calm in front of his son, choked up as soon as he walked out of his son's hospital room: "Lu Guang, this child is bitter!" ”
Wang Luguang, as the eldest son, suddenly suffered such trauma, which was a big blow to the whole family.
Picture 丨 Wang Shusheng and his daughter took a group photo
According to the memories of Wang Luguang's sister:
At that time, our family was full of sadness, my father could not sleep well for several days in a row, and my mother kept silently shedding tears...
General Wang Shusheng had four children, except for the eldest son Wang Luguang; the second son, Wang Chu, was still weak and sick since childhood and had been taking medicine for a long time; the third son, Wang Jianchu, was also in poor health and had frequent headaches; and the younger daughter, Wang Jichi, was still a minor at that time.
Wang Luguang, who was in good health, became his father's hope, and as a result, an accident shattered all this. In the words of Wang Luguang: "Our family is very unlucky. ”
Wang Luguang's family was in a bad mood, what was the situation on the driver's side of the accident?
When the leader of the driver who caused the accident learned of this incident, he suddenly did not know what to do, and knocked the son of the deputy minister of defense into the rescue room, which was really a big disaster!
The driver himself was so frightened that he couldn't even eat, and he didn't know what was waiting for him: shooting or going to jail?

In the face of the perpetrators who caused Wang Luguang's lifelong disability, how did General Wang Shusheng solve it?
The general was worried that Wang Luguang was young and vigorous and could not spare the driver who caused the accident, so Wang Shusheng said: "At this time, we must think that we are a cadre family, and we must stand taller and see farther towards people and things." The driver was also from a poor family, and it was not easy for his parents to raise him, but this incident could not cause another family to fall into tragedy. ”
After Wang Luguang listened to his father's words, his heart was also much calmer, and he summoned up the courage to face reality squarely.
At that time, the leader of the driver who caused the accident came to see Wang Luguang's condition, and Wang Shusheng said to him: "After you go back, tell the driver that the food should still be eaten, and you must learn the lesson of this time in the future." ”
In everyone's mind, an ordinary driver will have to go to jail for at least a few years after injuring the son of the deputy defense minister, but General Wang Shusheng did not do so.
In fact, if you understand General Wang Shusheng's personality, you will find that his results of this treatment are unexpected and reasonable.
General Wang Shusheng came from a poor family and was well aware of the hardships of the people. After achieving fame, Wang Shusheng has never forgotten his original intention: to serve the people!
Picture 丨 Family Portrait
Wang Shusheng once said to his son: "No matter what kind of situation, we must think about the cold and warm safety of the people..."
General Wang Shusheng said so, and did the same.
So what happened to Wang Luguang, the son of General Wang Shusheng?
As we said earlier, when Wang Luguang was in a car accident, he was four days before he was ready to get married. After this incident, Wang Luguang voluntarily rejected the marriage that had been the right person because of his health, and it was not until many years later that he married another lady.
Influence of his father: Devoted the rest of his life to the public welfare of the disabled
In 1973, Wang Shusheng was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and was admitted to the hospital. He and Wang Luguang's hospital room were not far away, so he often visited his children.
However, as his condition worsened, Wang Shusheng could not leave the hospital bed to visit Wang Luguang. When the father and son last met, Wang Shusheng said to him: "The party has cultivated you for so many years, you always have to do something, do something you can. ”

In the days that followed, his father's words often echoed around Wang Luguang. After being enlightened by his family, Wang Luguang has long been able to face reality.
How to do what he can, this is also a question that Wang Luguang has been thinking about since he was discharged from the hospital.
In 1982, Wang Luguang's friend called him: "Lu Guang, there is something you can discuss and discuss, run a rehabilitation center for the disabled in China..."
After Wang Luguang learned of his friend's idea, he felt very good, so he began to investigate various work.
After a period of investigation, Wang Luguang and his friends met with two ministers from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Health, explained their ideas to them, and explained the results of his recent investigation to the two.
No matter what industry you are in, you need perseverance. After the arduous efforts of Wang Luguang and others, finally on March 15, 1984, the China Welfare Foundation for the Disabled was established, and Wang Luguang successively served as secretary general and vice chairman of the board.
Wang Luguang also found something suitable for himself to do, and did not live up to his father's expectations: to do what he could.

Many years later, a reporter asked Wang Luguang: "After the establishment of this foundation, what changes have occurred to the cause of the disabled in China?" ”
Wang Luguang replied:
The first was a change in the perception of the disabled, which at first our country has always been called disabled, and then we met to discuss and put forward many proposals. It is finally determined that it is called disability, and the disability caused by the disease is called disability. This concept is people-oriented, which has changed the previous view of people with disabilities.
Wang Luguang himself is very satisfied with the establishment of the China Welfare Foundation for the Disabled, and he wants to help those in need in this way.
Picture 丨 Wang Luguang old photo
In this position, he can realize his value and serve the people! Whenever the foundation has any activities, Wang Luguang will always personally participate in them, and strive to find his position in his position.
For his father's help to his growth, Wang Luguang will always say emotionally: "Dear father, your son did not become a deserter in the will struggle, I will take you as a model to be a strong and optimistic excellent soldier who does not wear military uniforms..."
On February 20, 2005, Wang Luguang passed away due to illness!
Although he left the people, the China Welfare Foundation for the Disabled is still playing a role, and many people have benefited from it.
