In the history of the Chinese revolution, Wang Jian'an, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, was undoubtedly a bright star. He won the respect of the people with his upright character, noble character and selfless dedication. He was not only a great military strategist, but also a highly influential politician. Today, let's get closer to this legend and learn about his life and his unique personality.
Wang Jian'an, the liberation hero of the People's Republic of China, has experienced countless wars and vicious battles, leaving an indelible mark on future generations. In the course of the arduous revolution, he always adhered to the principle of the bottom line and opposed bureaucracy and formalism. The book "The Biography of Wang Jian'an, a Senior General" records these precious historical moments in detail and gives us the opportunity to get a glimpse of the heroic image of this figure.
The prestige shocked the locality and refused to take a special plane for treatment
In 1980, Yang Dezhi, then chief of the general staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, personally arrived at Wang Jian'an's residence in Xinjiang to try to persuade him to go to Shanghai for treatment. However, in the face of this plan, Wang Jian'an politely declined Yang's invitation on the grounds that he had to deal with urgent matters in the construction of the third line. According to relevant biographies, he did not like luxury and refused to leave his job even if he had health problems. Eventually, he died in July of the same year at the age of 72 due to his deteriorating health.
Be honest and self-disciplined, and teach your children and grandchildren strictly
It is rumored that Wang Jian'an attached great importance to the education of his children in his later years. Although the children wanted to take care of him, he insisted that they return to their respective posts and urged them to do their duty. He was well aware of the cruelty of war, so he was strict with his family, and the discipline and system of the army were the norms he adhered to. He set an example for everyone by leading by example.
Last wishes, simplifying funerals
At the last moment of his life, Wang Jian'an did not express his dying will. But it can be seen from his words and deeds that he does not advocate elaborate rituals. He did not accept the setting up of a memorial venue for him, a farewell and goodbye ceremony, and he did not want leaders, relatives and friends to bid him off, or even refuse to send a wreath. He wanted to simplify the funeral procedures and bury himself in a change of customs and simplicity.
Wang Jian'an, a hero deeply engraved in the history of the Chinese revolution, used his life to show the world a positive attitude towards life. His charisma is not only reflected on the battlefield, but also in his adherence to principles and bottom lines, as well as his positive attitude towards life. His life deserves the respect and memory of each of us.
