He was the fourth term of the Whampoa Military Academy, and after graduation, he returned to Yunnan and joined the Yunnan Army. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, he made outstanding achievements, and in the War of Liberation, he took the lead in uprising and joined the camp of the People's Liberation Army, and he was Pan Shuoduan.
Pan Shuoduan was born on October 19, 1901 in Panjiashan, Chang'an Township, Weixin County, Yunnan Province. His father was Xiucai at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and he had four brothers and sisters, and Pan Shuoduan ranked third.
In 1929, Pan Shuoduan returned to Diandan and served as the squadron leader of the Yunnan Officers' Cadet Corps, and after the disbandment of the Cadet Corps, he successively served as battalion commander, regimental commander, brigade commander, and division commander. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Pan Shuoduan served as the commander of the Sixtieth Army, led the leading troops in the Battle of Taierzhuang to kill the enemy bravely, commanded the battle with wounds, held the position until the follow-up troops arrived, made battle merits, and was awarded the Baoding Medal of the First Class and the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, Pan Shuorui encountered Rikou in Chen Wafang Village, and at the end of the battle, only he and one soldier were left in the whole regiment, Pan Shuoduan was seriously wounded, and when he was rescued, the doctor announced that he was no longer able to do so. But Pan Shuoduan, with tenacious perseverance, defeated the God of Death and came back to life!
Later, Pan Shuoduan went to Wuhan to treat his wounds, and it was during this time that he came into contact with the people in the office of the Eighth Route Army in Wuhan, witnessed the work style and anti-Japanese propositions of the Eighth Route Army, and his thinking underwent major changes.
During Pan Shuoduan's recuperation, he met his compatriot, Luo Binghui, who was doing united front work in Wuhan. As fellow villagers in Yunnan, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and just when Pan Shuoduan left Wuhan, Luo Binghui told him: "I hope he will see each other again one day and take the same boat." This also laid the groundwork for Pan Shuoduan's uprising.
In August 1945, Phan Washung was sent to Vietnam to accept the surrender of Japan. While in Vietnam, he received a message from his wife saying that Chiang Kai-shek had carried out a "reverse dragon coup" in Yunnan, and many people had been arrested. At this moment, Pan Shuoduan received another order to leave Yunnan and garrison Haicheng in Liaoning.
Pan Shuoduan was very angry, he was single-minded for the country, but Chiang Kai-shek was unwarranted suspicion of him, guan Jian also transferred him away at the moment, which made him very disappointed in Chiang Kai-shek, hesitating whether to lead the uprising, he carried out a fierce ideological struggle, and finally Pan Shuoduan decided to take the lead in the uprising.
The next day, Pan Shuoduan summoned his subordinates to announce the uprising, and after Mr. Zhu learned of the information, he personally sent a congratulatory message. After the uprising, Pan Shuoduan served as the commander of the 1st Army of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, and joined the Communist Party shortly after the uprising, and he did a lot of work for Zeng Zesheng's uprising.
Later, Pan Shuoduan entered Yunnan with Siye and became the first mayor of Kunming, Yunnan, where he worked for 22 years. On September 14, 1978, Pan Shuoduan died of overwork at the age of 77.
