In 1937, the month of the "July 7" Lugou Bridge Incident, he resolutely gave up his studies at Meiji University in Japan and returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. He successively served as section chief and director of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Political Department of the Second Sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.
In November 1945, he went to the northeast and successively served as the political commissar of the Second Military Subdistrict of the Nenjiang Provincial Military District, the secretary of the Prefectural Committee of the Second Subdistrict of Nenjiang Province, and the commissioner of the special office.
In June 1949, he was transferred to Angang Steel from the director of the Construction Department of Nenjiang Province, and successively served as the secretary general of the company, the director of the mining department, and the deputy manager of the company.
In January 1955, he was reappointed as the deputy manager of "Anjian", and later served as the manager of Bengang Steel, the secretary of the Party Committee of Jiugang and the general commander of construction.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Wen was in the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.
"You must catch the mine, I am well and I will work with you!"
In 1971, lying on the bed of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Wang Wen, who was seriously ill, was still worried about the construction of Jiugang in his heart, and repeatedly told his colleagues who came to visit.
After the victory in the Liaoshen Campaign, the liberation of the whole country was just around the corner, and the northeast industrial base, which was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, entered a period of recovery first. In June 1949, Wang Wen, then director of the Construction Department of Nenjiang Province, was transferred to Angang Steel, briefly served as the secretary general of the company for 3 months, and was immediately changed to the director of the mining department. In that year, among the 9 major departments under Angang Steel, the Mining Department was the first major department in the position of "leader", with 9 mining areas under its jurisdiction, spanning Liaoning and Jilin provinces and covering many prefectures and counties. On the steel front, Wang Wen can be called a fierce general, who has been galloping for twenty-two years, and has successively served as the deputy manager of Angang Steel, the deputy manager of "Anjian" and the manager of Benxi Branch, and the manager of Benxi Iron and Steel Company.
In the mid-1960s, the construction of wine steel, which had lasted for more than 3 years, was launched for the second time! The day when Zhao Beike, the commander of the army at that time, was looking forward to re-killing and returning, had finally arrived! The news reached the construction site, and more than 1,300 "Saddle Construction" left-behind personnel who endured hunger and frost to hold on to the desert were excited. Under the leadership of the left-behind manager Fan Tianyou and the deputy manager Liu Jiequan, they immediately began to collect materials, equipment and construction tools scattered everywhere, remove rust, clean and grease, repair and store, and make full preparations for the restart. When the old "Anjian" people who had been displaced in various places heard the news, just like the children who had left their hometowns for a long time and wanted to return to their mothers, they could not wait to rush back from Baotou in Inner Mongolia, Anshan and Fushun in Liaoning, Fularki in Heilongjiang, and Xinjiang. When they saw the snow-capped Qilian Mountain, they couldn't help but burst into tears, and silently chanted in their hearts: "Wine steel! I'm finally back. ”
In 1952, Wang Wen, then deputy manager of Angang Steel, took a photo in front of his residence in Anshan Taicho.
The construction of wine steel was launched again, and Zhao Beike was not able to return to the border pass as he wished, and what pleased him was that his old partner Wang Wen stood proudly in the Gobi. In January 1965, the central government approved Wang Wen to be the secretary of the party committee of Jiugang. In March of the same year, the Ministry of Metallurgy decided that Wang Wen would concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of Jiugang Construction. When he first arrived at Jiugang, Wang Wen asked the workers' canteen not to make it too big, and the number of diners in each canteen should not exceed 300 people; the workers should sit on stools and have hot meals to eat in the canteen; and also decided to subsidize the canteen diners with a monthly subsidy of 6 yuan per month. At that time, the living conditions of Jiugang were extremely difficult, especially the shortage of vegetables, and Wang Wen directly ordered the use of trains to transport vegetables such as bean sprouts. Wang Wen's "old eight roads" style has left a deep impression on cadres and workers in Angang, Bengang and Jiugang.
Wang Wen was born in December 1912 in Dalai County, Jilin Province. Ancestors settled here from Dengzhou Capital, Shandong Province, "Breaking into the Guandong", and with the hard work and diligence of several generations, they gradually became a large family in the local area. After the "918 Incident" in 1931, Wang Wen entered the customs with the exiled students in northeast China, studied at the Guangfu Middle School in the northeast of Beiping, and was friends with Wu Duo (who was the director of the Angang Rolling Steel Department). In 1935, after the outbreak of the "129 Student Movement" in Peiping, Wu Duo was arrested and imprisoned, and Wang Wen, who had been expelled from the school, deliberately visited Wu Duo in prison, crossed to Japan and was admitted to Meiji University.
In 1937, when the news of the "Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident" came, Wang Wen was indignant, resolutely abandoned his studies, and immediately set off to return to China, day and night to rush to the anti-Japanese front. According to Wang Wen's old comrade-in-arms Chen Long (who was former vice president of the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts), after the "July Seventh" incident, he also left home to seek the road to resist Japan and save the country, and when he was watching the slogan and notice posted by the Eighth Route Army in front of the Tongguan City Tower in Shaanxi Province, "Young people with lofty ideals participate in the Eighth Road, resist Japan and save the country" posted by the Eighth Route Army, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "What else to see?" Let's go! When he looked back, he saw that it was a black-faced northeastern man greeting him, and this person was Wang Wen. Subsequently, the two men went to find the Eighth Route Army together. In August 1937, at No. 30 Xinmancheng West Street in Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army office in Jin had just been opened, where Wang Wen met Nie Rongzhen and Zhao Erlu, deputy director of the Eighth Route Army's General Supply Department (the founding general). After that, Wang Wen, Chen Long, Zhang Chen (former Minister of Nuclear Industry), Deng Tuo (former secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee), and others went to Jinchaji with Nie Rongzhen and Zhao Erlu. Wang Wen successively served as section chief and minister of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Political Department in the Third Sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. In 1938, shortly after arriving in the Third Subdistrict, he went deep into the Tiger's Den with Li Nan, then director of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and participated in the "Manchurian Mutiny" that shook North China, prompting the uprising of the first regimental unit in the Japanese puppet army, and was commended by Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.
In 1955, Wang Wen and Shen Nairan took a group photo with their families.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in August 1945, in accordance with the intention of the Central Committee, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region successively dispatched troops and cadres to support the Northeast Theater. Wang Wen went to the northeast with the army in November, and successively served as the political commissar of the Second Military Subdistrict of the Nenjiang Provincial Military District, the secretary of the Prefectural Committee of the Second Subdistrict of Nenjiang Province, the commissioner of the Bureau, and the director of the Construction Department of Nenjiang Province.
The construction of wine steel has once again begun. Half a year before Wang Wen went to Jiugang, Yuan Baohua, deputy director of the State Economic Commission, Chai Shufan, deputy director of the Planning Commission, and Gao Yangwen, vice minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy, personally visited the border pass to determine the resumption of construction of the jiugang rush construction project, which was called "Sanjiu Company" to the outside world. Six months after Wang Wen took office, the Beijing Iron and Steel Design Institute took the lead in compiling and completing the preliminary design of "Sanjiu Company", with an annual mining scale of 5 million tons of iron ore, and an annual output of 1.57 million tons of iron, 1.5 million tons of steel, and 1.1 million tons of materials. Qilian Mountain also woke up from its slumber, and the mawanshui engineering team, which was famous throughout the country, drove into Jingtie Mountain, which is located in the hinterland of Qilian Mountain. General Wang Wendian, Xie Changrong (later mayor of Jiayuguan City) of the Nanfen Iron Mine of The Tuoben Steel Co., Ltd., was appointed as the director of the Jingtieshan Iron Ore Mine.
On the Gobi Desert, the commander of the army took the lead, and thousands of troops and horses rose up with excitement. Wang Wen poured his enthusiasm into the construction of Jiugang, and as soon as he arrived in Jiuquan, he could not wait to climb the mine, see the terrain, run to the scene, and visit the masses. Dressed in coarse cloth, wearing cotton rubber shoes on his feet, and with the bandages he used to use in the army on his legs, he led the staff to the remote mountains such as Jingtie Mountain and Bison Beach, which were far away from the urban area, to inspect the mineral resources. In the letter to his family, it is enough to imagine Wang Wen's excited and confident look at that time, he wrote: "I climbed the Jingtie Mountain at an altitude of 4500 meters today, indicating that my physical condition is very good, and it seems that I can work for the party and the country for another 20 years and build two steel bases." However, his body was becoming less and less able to cooperate with his will, and it was collapsing day by day. Organizationally, Wang Wen was forced to leave temporarily and go to Benxi to recuperate. Soon, the "Cultural Revolution" movement swept through Benxi like a storm, and his body was not waiting to be nourished, but was brutally destroyed.
In 1956, Wang Wen (front row first left), Ji Mingda (front row third from left) and other Soviet experts took a group photo in front of the Bengang Power Plant.
Wang Wen's generation is a generation that has gone through ups and downs and has been tempered a lot. They are well-informed and have accurate scores in their hearts, which are difficult to shake. On January 7, 1955, Wang Wen and Ji Mingda, then deputy managers of "Anjian", led 3,000 people to Bengang and formally established Benxi Branch. In this year, Shu Qun, a famous writer they met in the Angang infrastructure construction system, was beaten into the "Shu, Luo, and Bai Anti-Party Clique" with Luo Feng and Bai Lang, expelled from the party, and the administrative level was reduced from 8 to 14. In October 1956, Shu Qun, bearing the "crime" of being wrongly convicted, took the initiative to request to be sent to Benxi to engage in literary creation. At this time, Wang Wen, deputy manager of "Anjian" and manager of Benxi Branch, has been transferred to bengang manager, and Ji Mingda is also the manager of Benxi branch. It goes without saying that Shu Qun left the capital and came to this mountain city in the northeast, one of which was because Shi Guang(later Wang Wen's relatives), then the propaganda director of the Benxi Municipal Party Committee, and he were both Yan'an writers, and they used to get along very well. (On August 3, 1989, Shu Qun died of illness.) According to his wife, Xia Qing, on the occasion of his death, Shu Qun had repeatedly called out the name of "Shi Guang". Another very important reason is that Wang Wen and Ji Mingda are both in power in Benxi. When Wang Wen's wife, Shen Nairan, was serving as deputy director of the Cultural Bureau in Anshan City, she was in love with Shu Qun's wife, Xia Qing (a national second-level drama critic, stage name "Little Grape Red"),) from the Liyuan family. At that time, Shen Nairan was serving as the director of the Cultural Bureau in Benxi City, and when he heard that Xia Qing would also come to Benxi, he specially sent the head of the municipal drama troupe to Beijing to greet him. See the truth in times of difficulty. After the arrival of Shu Qun and his wife, they were arranged to stay in the Bengang Guest House, and then arranged to a small building with a single courtyard. Between them, they walked around each other every New Year's Festival, and the daily exchanges of the family were continuous, and They never thought that Shu Qun was an "anti-party element." During that time, Shu Qun, who was in a happy mood, wrote a long novel "This Generation" against the background of Angang; Mrs. Xia Qing served as the head of the Benxi Critics Troupe and was always active on the stage of the theater.
However, the Cultural Revolution movement was different. In the past movement, Wang Wen was able to help Shuqun in a conditional way. In today's movement, Wang Wen can neither help Shuqun nor protect himself. In fact, if he didn't hear anything outside the window, he would hide at home and recuperate, and maybe he would suffer a little less. However, Wang Wen, who was known as the head of the "Four Great Heavenly Powers" when he was in Angang, could not change his always upright and strong personality. In 1959, when he was the manager of Bengang Steel, he openly resisted the practice of "small blast furnaces" that violated scientific common sense, and openly opposed the tendency to impact production and quality in the name of "political commander-in-chief". At a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he was designated as a "right-leaning" when only Shi Guang and Li Yuanlong (who became the director of the first Angang Steel Manufacturing Plant in 1948 and later the director of the Benxi Mining Bureau) opposed him. His partner Ji Mingda once commented on Wang Wen in his memories: "We are all familiar with and admire his frank, upright and indomitable spirit. During the Cultural Revolution, Wang Wen was still outspoken and jealous, so he was doomed. The rebels have continuously criticized this "unrepentant bourgeoisie," and the struggle has continued to escalate, causing him to be physically and mentally devastated.
In 1956, Wang Wen took a photo during an expedition to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
It was not until 1971 that Wang Wen was "liberated." The Ministry of Metallurgy, taking into account his physical condition, was ready to arrange for him to work in a place with good conditions, but he insisted on returning to Jiugang. At this time, Jiugang was more than halfway to the goal of "two years of preparation and eight years of completion", and he wanted to grab back the delayed time. At the turn of the spring and summer of 1971, Wang Wen set off from Benxi and arrived in Beijing first, where he had already bought a train ticket to return to Jiuquan. Before getting on the bus, the liver disease attacked, he helplessly admitted to Tongren Hospital, diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, the candlelight of life has burned to the end. Upon learning the news that Wang Wen was critically ill, many people hurried from Jiugang and Bengang. The old subordinate Xie Shengkai (who had been the logistics director of the 02 unit of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps) led a group of dusty servants to Beijing, and gave an order in front of the hospital bed to give a military salute to the old chief Wang Wen.
“...... I'm sick and I'm going to do it with you!" Before his death, Wang Wen, a fierce general on the steel front of the Republic, was still ambitious, firmly believing that the heroes would not fall, but their ambitions were not rewarded, and he died of illness in Beijing on November 2, 1971, at the age of 59.
When the bad news came, Shi Guang burst into tears and sighed longly: "I don't know myself, I don't know myself!" ”
A few years later, Shu Qun was completely rehabilitated, returned to the city from the devolved countryside, touched the scenery, and missed Wang Wen, not waiting to rest, to visit Wang Wen's wife and children. As soon as he entered the door, Shu Qun said loudly to the family, "When I come back, the first one will come to your house..."
In 1961, Wang Wen, then the manager of Bengang Steel.
Many years later, Deng Hongxun, Wang Wen's secretary when he was working in Angang and then secretary of the Hainan Provincial CPC Committee, came to visit Wang Wen's wife, Shen Nairan, and repeatedly said: "The work style of the old leader Wang Wen has had a great and great influence on me. ”
