In Chinese history, there have been many outstanding military leaders, one of whom is less well known as General Wang Jian'an. Although he is not as famous as Zhong Wei, Wang Bicheng, Ye Fei and others, his experience has made him the focus of everyone's attention. This experience is related to a misunderstanding by Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao reviewed the list of founding generals, he inadvertently crossed out Wang Jian'an's name with the note "Proud and complacent, it is appropriate to appoint a lieutenant general." The root of this misunderstanding lies in the Anti-Japanese War period, when Wang Jian'an, when he was the deputy commander of the Shandong Military Region, had an argument with Chen Yi, who was also the leader of the Shandong Military Region, and even slapped the table. Although Wang Jian'an later apologized to Chen Yi, the incident was exaggerated and distorted, leading Chairman Mao to misunderstand him. However, after an effort to clarify the misunderstanding, Chairman Mao made amends for the mistake by conferring the rank of general Wang Jian'an in January 1956.
Wang Jian'an is a straightforward man who adheres to principles and is jealous like hatred. Although he had a fiery personality, he never served his country wholeheartedly for personal self-interest. He cannot tolerate those who use their power to take advantage of the public, and he dares to stand up for unfair things. After the founding of New China, he successively served as deputy commander of the Shenyang Military Region and the Jinan Military Region. However, as he grew older, injuries left over from World War II had an increasing impact on his health.
One of Mr. Wang's actions reflected his principles. One day, his secretary heard that Wang Jian'an did not get enough cooking oil, so he went to the management department to get a barrel of peanut oil. But when Wang Jianan learned about this, he was very angry. He immediately criticized the secretary and paid for peanut oil. He patiently instructed his secretary: "If everyone does what you do, it will corrupt the morale." Today I took a barrel of oil, tomorrow maybe something else. "Wang Jianan firmly opposes any act of taking advantage of the public, even if it is insignificant.
In addition, Wang Jianan also showed his cherishing of public resources. Once, when he was out on business, he passed through the old revolutionary area of Jinggangshan, and he wanted to visit it. However, when he learned that the trip required a detour of hundreds of miles and wasted the government's fuel bill, he immediately changed his mind, thinking that it was not worth the expense. This example shows his frugality and responsibility for public funds.
In the special historical period, Wang Jianan also dared to fight Jiang Qing and others. Once, he attended a banquet with Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing touted the showcases at the dinner to show off her success and try to improve her political status. Although Jiang Qing's special status forced everyone to echo her remarks, Wang Jianan expressed dissatisfaction with this. At the banquet, he realized that Jiang Qing's topic was not only praising the show, but also adding chips to his political agenda. So he took a clever way of expressing his dissatisfaction. Wang Jianan picked up a piece of braised pork, held up his chopsticks and said: "Comrade Jiang Qing, your model play is like braised pork, although it is fragrant, but it cannot be eaten all at once." Although this remark was euphemistic, it conveyed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Qing's acting activities. Such boldness and tenacity were extremely rare at the time.
On July 25, 1980, Wang Jianan died in Beijing at the age of 72. On his deathbed, he asked that the funeral be as simple as possible, no memorial services, no wreaths, no farewells, no notification of relatives and friends, and no cremation ceremony. These five demands make his memorial service seem a little deserted, but they also reflect his commitment to simplicity and official duties.
Wang Jian'an was a tenacious and principled military leader who dedicated himself to the country and worked for the rational use of public resources, while also demonstrating his resolute resistance to injustice. His courage and sincerity set an example for future generations. His life was full of ups and downs, but his noble character and principles will always be remembered.
