In 1957, why did you promote Wang Shengrong exceptionally?
In 1957, he visited Wuhan to inspect local affairs, and leaders at all levels in Hubei Province attached great importance to it and accompanied him to introduce the development of Hubei.
Looking at the rapid development of New China, ** felt a lot of emotion in my heart. Just as he was inspecting, he suddenly remembered a person, so he asked the leaders of Hubei Province beside him: "Where is Wang Shengrong now?"
This puzzled the leaders of Hubei, the name Wang Shengrong was not known at all, why did the chairman ask about this person?With a stomach full of questions, the governor of Hubei Province immediately sent someone to investigate Wang Shengrong, and after many visits, he was finally found in the Zhongnan Construction Engineering Bureau, at this time he was only a deputy director.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder how such an unknown "little person"* knew him?And why did you name him?Just when everyone was full of questions, the next words were even more shocking: "Let Wang Shengrong serve as the director of the Metallurgical Department in Hubei, and the treatment will start from the deputy provincial level."
So who is this Wang Shengrong?Why did he suddenly promote him directly from the deputy director level to the deputy provincial level?
In 1906, Wang Shengrong was born in Wuchang, Hubei Province, in an ordinary working family. My father made a living by carrying chopsticks, and my mother used the craft of making chopsticks to supplement the family. Due to his family's poverty, Wang Shengrong entered the factory at the age of 13 as a child laborer.
In his work, he showed a hard-working spirit that caught the attention of some progressives. In 1926, on the recommendation of Xiang Ying, Wang Shengrong actively participated in the workers' movement and joined the Chinese Communist Youth League as the head of the Children's League.
The following year, Wang Shengrong successfully became a member of the Communist Party because of his outstanding performance, and since then he has overcome all obstacles and worked hard for China's revolutionary cause. After the defeat of the first domestic revolution on August 7, 1927, the revolutionary cause of the Party and the country was facing unprecedented challenges.
At this critical moment, an emergency meeting was held in Hankow, that is, the "87 Conference" to determine a series of follow-up operational guidelines.
Wang Shengrong, under the instructions of his superiors, was responsible for organizing and defending this important meeting. The meeting was urgent, Wang Shengrong bought more than a dozen mats, and after the meeting, everyone slept on the ground.
Wang Shengrong was deeply moved by the cordial and easy-going attitude of the leader of *** and ** for the first time at that time, and since then he has strengthened his determination to follow ***.
In order to strengthen ideological and political education, Wang Shengrong accepted the organization's arrangement and studied Xi at Moscow University in the Soviet Union for three years until he returned to China in 1930. After returning to China, Wang Shengrong became one of the important revolutionary forces in the party.
In 1932, for the smooth progress of the revolution, he personally went to the southern Gan region to conduct investigation and research. At that time, the revolution was in full swing, and he had become the provisional chairman of the Chinese Soviet Republic.
Participating in important meetings is the norm, and unfortunately, not long after the arrival of *** in southern Gansu, an important meeting will be held. The task of notifying *** to participate in the meeting fell on Wang Shengrong.
After receiving the task, Wang Shengrong did not hesitate, immediately organized a team, and rushed to the southern Jiangxi region. As soon as I arrived at my destination, I heard a fierce burst of gunfire. Wang Shengrong was alert in his heart, the Kuomintang frantically encircled and suppressed the Communists throughout the country, is the chairman in danger?
He immediately led the team and rushed over, only to see that the chairman's guards had exchanged fire with the reactionary forces, and the chairman was unable to move due to his old illness**. The situation of the chairman's guards gradually became tense, and at the critical moment, Wang Shengrong stood behind the enemy and shouted: "Ceasefire!."
Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, Wang Shengrong shot and killed all these people, successfully rescuing the chairman.
In a period of history, Wang Shengrong's name was engraved in his heart, because he showed the spirit of daring to fight and kill and not being afraid of hardships in this mission. Highly praised for his performance and given him increasingly important tasks.
In 1933, after the temporary relocation to the Soviet District, the activities of the Shanghai Bureau gradually became tight, and it was decided to send a regiment-level cadre to Shanghai with 7,500 US dollars.
However, because of his bad ideological conduct, this cadre changed his mind and fled to Hong Kong with money on the way. The same situation happened to the divisional cadres sent for the second time. In order to solve the predicament of the Shanghai ** Bureau as soon as possible, ** decided to send the seized $35,000 to Shanghai.
In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, ** decided to send Zhang Aiping to Shanghai to deliver money.
Zhang Aiping was very anxious about the organization's mission, but because he could not speak Shanghainese and was not familiar with Shanghai, he was worried that he would bring trouble to the organization.
Therefore, after explaining his situation to the organization, he recommended Wang Shengrong to complete this difficult task. Wang Shengrong has worked in Shanghai, is familiar with Shanghai, and has also studied in the Soviet Union and knows Russian.
He is also a military cadre and a responsible person of the Young Communist Party within the party, and in all respects, Wang Shengrong is the best person to accomplish this task. After comprehensive consideration, ** adopted Zhang Aiping's suggestion and decided to send Wang Shengrong to Shanghai to send money.
Before leaving, the party organization found Wang Shengrong again and carried out ideological work on him: "Comrade Wang Shengrong, the superiors have decided to hand over this task to you, which is a sign of trust in you.
This mission is very dangerous, you have to be more careful, and you must make sure that this money is delivered to Shanghai ** or Comrade Yang Shangkun. Wang Shengrong felt a lot of pressure, but he replied firmly: "Promise to complete the task!"
He found two suitcases, put the $30,000 "entrusted" by the organization underneath, and then put some books on top as a disguise. After everything was ready, Wang Shengrong set off.
In order to avoid the Kuomintang search, he did not hesitate to climb over the mountains and mountains, only taking dirt roads, and in the face of the interrogation, he wittily lied that it was his books and luggage, and the Kuomintang soldiers usually just kicked to confirm that they were all real objects, and then let them go.
He tightly guarded the two suitcases, always vigilant, and even slept with one eye open and one eye closed, for fear that the money would disappear. After three months of waiting and anxious urging, he finally appeared in front of the people of the Shanghai ** Bureau, who were both surprised and delighted, because the money solved the urgent need and ensured the sustainable development of the organization in Shanghai.
Wang Shengrong's outstanding performance was praised by ***, and he formed the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army and created the Southern Henan Base Area. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, although he did not directly participate in the war, he made a great contribution to the stability of the rear of the Communist Party, and as a native of Wuhan, he was also sent to Wuhan to participate in the work of the rear.
In Wuhan, which was occupied by the Japanese army, in November 1937, the Yangtze River Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the Wuhan Office of the Eighth Route Army were established. In order to better carry out high-level liaison work, member Dong Biwu asked for Wang Shengrong by name.
He believes that Wang Shengrong is very familiar with the situation in Wuhan and is competent for this job. However, Wang Shengrong knew that his cultural level was not high, and it was difficult to deal with the upper echelons of the Kuomintang and celebrities from all walks of life, so he applied to the organization to fight on the front line.
In the end, after the approval of ***, Wang Shengrong was sent to Henan to organize anti-Japanese rescue activities. In January 1938, Dong Biwu arranged for Wang Shengrong and his wife Zhao Mingzhen to enter Zhugou Town, Queshan County, Henan Province, to lead the guerrilla forces there.
Wang Shengrong sheltered the separated Red Army soldiers in Henan and expanded them into his unit through reorganization and training. At the same time, he led the guerrillas to suppress the bandits everywhere, dealing a serious blow to the bandits.
Although Wang Shengrong's team was not large, it had received strong support from the local people because of its rich combat experience. In an anti-bandit operation, he led his troops to win more with less, annihilated a bandit team of more than 1,000 people, and captured more than 300 guns.
Under Wang Shengrong's ideological work, the bandits responded to the call to join the guerrillas and contribute to defending against foreign enemies. In this way, Wang Shengrong's guerrilla force rapidly expanded to more than 2,000 people, an unprecedented scale.
Wang Shengrong's series of actions have been highly valued. Soon after, he reorganized the team and became the 8th Regiment of the 4th Detachment of the New Fourth Army.
This unit played a key role in both the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. Seeing the growth of the troops, Wang Shengrong's heart was full of joy. Thanks to his efforts, this force has also become stronger and stronger.
Especially after the outbreak of the Eastern Anhui Campaign, when the atmosphere of national resistance against Japan was strong, there were many scattered anti-Japanese teams near Zhugou Town, many of them were Red Army soldiers who were separated during the Long March, or soldiers who broke through from the Western Route Army, because they were separated from the troops, they had to return to their hometowns.
Wang Shengrong thought that this was a good opportunity to expand the troops, so he immediately wrote a letter to *** to report the incident, and applied to send a comrade who had held a high-ranking position in the Red Fourth Army and had done relatively good ideological work to do ideological work for the masses.
Wang Shengrong's suggestion attracted the attention of the first leader, after the discussion of the leaders, he had served as a political commissar in a number of troops, and participated in the construction of the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, came to Zhugou Town, and Wang Shengrong established the New Fourth Army Henan Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment.
Right: After the efforts of everyone, the small guerrilla force near Zhugou Town was successfully reorganized, so that the size of the anti-Japanese advance detachment in southern Henan increased to more than 3,000 people.
This large unit was later reorganized into the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army and became an important main force in the New Fourth Army. When the "Seventh National Congress" was about to be held in 1945, Wang Shengrong, who was originally unable to attend the meeting, participated in this important meeting as the founder of the Fifth Division under the recommendation of ***.
At this time, Wang Shengrong was full of enthusiasm and always worked the front line for the country and the revolutionary cause. However, an incident in 1946 forced him to retreat to the rear for work on ideological education.
At that time, Wang Shengrong was the secretary of the Qiqihar Municipal Party Committee, and when he was mobilizing the people at a meeting, there was a sudden loud bang, and his left leg was injured and fell to the ground, and a large area of blood flowed from the sole of his left foot.
It turned out that when Wang Shengrong was giving a lecture, a soldier of the guard squad was sorting out his weapons when the gun suddenly went off, and the bullet penetrated the ceiling and shot directly into his left leg from the sole of his left foot.
Sadly, he was wearing Soviet-made dog skin boots, which had a deadly bacterium in them. Although doctors had given him various vaccinations, he ended up losing his entire left leg due to the limitations of medical technology at the time.
Despite his physical disability, Wang Shengrong still cared about the revolutionary cause in his heart, and even if he could not go directly to the front, he made his own contribution to the liberation of the country in the rear.
Later, due to some reasons, he became a deputy director of the Central South Construction Bureau, and made a lot of efforts for the construction development of the motherland. What he didn't expect was that the *** who had been saved by him always remembered him.
In 1957, ** went to Wuhan, Hubei Province to inspect the work, at that time Hubei was preparing to build the Hanyang Rolling Mill for the development of heavy industry, ** suddenly remembered Wang Shengrong when listening to the introduction of the governor of Hubei Province.
He asked the leaders of Hubei Province: "How is Wang Shengrong doing now?"”
Left: When the chairman asked, the leaders looked at each other, they had never heard of such a person. Under the chairman's instructions, the governor of Hubei Province immediately sent someone to investigate, and finally found Wang Shengrong, who was the deputy director of the Zhongnan Construction Bureau, and told the chairman about him.
The chairman was deeply surprised and decided to promote Wang Shengrong from the deputy director level to the director of the Metallurgical Department, and give him the treatment of deputy provincial level. Knowing that the chairman had not forgotten himself, Wang Shengrong was moved to tears, and after accepting the appointment, he promised: "I will definitely not disappoint the chairman's trust!"
Since then, Wang Shengrong has worked harder in his job, and despite many difficulties, he has never forgotten his original intention.
On September 1, 2006, Comrade Wang Shengrong, who had fought all his life for the revolutionary cause, passed away peacefully in Wuhan at the age of 100, becoming the last member of the first Central Revolutionary Military Commission to pass away.
