When reading the story of the Qing officials with two sleeves of qingfeng, I always felt that they were a little far away from now, so I said that the famous Lord Bao Zheng, during his period as an official, even his relatives "broke off diplomatic relations", and he was afraid that someone would look for him to do things, and his principle was that as an official of the imperial court, he served the people, and later when he died, the whole city mourned.
In fact, officials with this style have always existed, and when Chen Yi was the mayor of Shanghai, he personally ordered Wang Yiping to be the director of the Organization Department of the Shanghai Municipal CPC Committee. Why did he win Chen Yi's favor like this? His name may be relatively unfamiliar to many people, but his revolutionary experience is no less than that of many generals who conferred the title in 1955.
Don't be a teacher, rather throw yourself into the revolution
Although Wang Yiping's family was poor, but the family attached great importance to education, although the family's livelihood depended on fishing for a living, his studies were not delayed, and later he was also admitted to the Wenden Rural Normal School.
At that time, China was in a dark moment of internal warlord strife and external aggression by great powers, and he witnessed this, and during his studies, he chose a path, and he joined the Chinese Communist Party.
He did not become the teacher expected by his family, he threw himself into the revolution without hesitation, he came out of a small fishing village in Shandong, grew rapidly in the baptism of the battlefield, and at the time of the Battle of Huaihai, he was already the political commissar of the Eighth Column of Huaye, and later participated in the Battle of Crossing the River and the Battle of Liberating Shanghai. After the founding of new China, he was the director of the political department of the Eighth Corps of Sanye.
However, he came to Shanghai in 1952, and since then he has completely rooted in the city, and in 1977 he was promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee, a power that was prominent in the eyes of outsiders, but he had "no connection" with his family.
Almost "unkind" demands on family
Wang Yiping has a profound understanding of "using power for personal gain", so the requirements for his family are almost harsh.
His wife, Zhang Meixiu, was also tested by the revolution, and at that time the city was ready to transfer her to the Work of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and at that time his work in charge involved this part, and when the approval documents arrived at him, as soon as he saw his wife's name, he directly crossed it out. Later, his wife asked him why he did this, and he directly said that in the eyes of others, he would only think that I had opened the back door.
This is not the first time that Wang Yiping has been "inconsiderate" to his wife, who was pregnant in 1947 and was equipped with horses and grooms according to his rank, but he never took care of his wife, he just did things according to the regulations, and only the wounded could ride horses at that time.
He was more demanding of his children. Several of his children have joined the army, the eldest son has become an ordinary worker after retiring from the army, because of the strict family style, the eldest son is very good at work, the factory intends to train him, wanting him to go to the cadre training class. As a result, after Wang Yiping learned of this news, he directly told his son that he could not take the career path and asked him to withdraw from the quota. This son has always been an ordinary worker.
His second daughter was a soldier in Nanjing, and her husband was a native of Beijing, and the policy at that time was that if both husband and wife were from a big city, they could transfer the working relationship back to their original home when they changed jobs. The second daughter planned to return to Shanghai, and When Wang Yiping learned of it, he told her that he should stay in Nanjing. His reason was simple: four of his five children were already in Shanghai, and the daughter should stay in Nanjing to contribute. So the daughter's family stayed in Nanjing.
This is Wang Yiping. He would never use a shred of his power for the sake of his family, and he could do so, because he always understood that he could be in this position, and that the country trusted him and hoped that he would do more for the welfare of the people.
If he had continued to be in the army at that time, he might have been awarded the rank of lieutenant general. At that time, his rank was the rank of deputy corps, and when he was awarded the rank in 1955, only one of the 42 generals of his rank was a major general.
But Wang Yiping is very indifferent to fame and fortune, he strictly abides by the principle of doing things, and strictly demands himself and the people around him.
None of his children were in office. The 14 characters on his tomb cover have highly praised this old revolutionary: "A lifetime of integrity and fairness, and the breeze on his sleeves is touching." ”
