He served as Deputy Chief of General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, Vice Premier and Vice President of the People's Liberation Army, and made great contributions to the construction of Xinjiang and the promotion of ethnic unity.
Although he has a nickname"King's beard", gives people a rough impression, but in fact, he also has a delicate side, especially in the face of his wife Wang Jiqing, he shows his iron man tenderness.
So, what is the story of the woman behind this heroic general? Let's walk into Wang Jiqing's world together.
Wang Jiqing, born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1913, experienced family difficulties in her early years, but she was determined and tenacious. In 1931, the September 18 Incident broke out, and Wang Jiqing and his mother were forced to leave the Northeast and flee to Beiping.
In Beiping, Wang Jiqing did not give up his studies because of the change of environment, but studied harder, and finally was admitted to the Department of Chemistry of Peking University with excellent results, becoming a leader at that time.
During her studies at Peking University, Wang Jiqing actively participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement, and she deeply felt that the September 18 Incident was not only a national shame, but also a family feud, so she hated the Japanese and was determined to drive the invaders out of China.
Wang Jiqing came into contact with and believed in Marxism-Leninism during the progressive movement, became a member of the Communist Youth League in 1935, and became a full member of the Communist Party in the same year. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, she withdrew from Beiping and went to the Eighth Route Army Office in Taiyuan to join the army and join the anti-Japanese front.
After joining the Eighth Route Army, she went to the headquarters of the 120th Division in Lan County, Shanxi Province with the youth, and met **, Guan Xiangying and ** and others on the way. At that time, ** was already considered an older youth, but he still had no object, and the quiet Wang Jiqing left a deep impression on him.
During his tenure in the 120th Division, Wang Jiqing specialized in first-class work and was deeply appreciated by first-class leaders. **intentionally urged him to marry **General**, and through Guan Xiangying's matchmaking, the two tied the knot after only a week of acquaintance.
After marriage, Wang Jiqing followed ** to the 359 Brigade, and the husband and wife supported each other and had three sons together. After experiencing the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, they ushered in the founding of New China.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Jiqing worked in Xinjiang with her husband, and then in 1953, he was transferred to the commander of the Beijing Railway Corps, and Wang Jiqing also returned to Beijing and served as the principal of Beijing No. 8 Middle School.
Wang Jiqing made important contributions to the education of New China, but the anti-"rightist" movement of 1957 mistreated him and many other cadres in the education system.
Although he was forced to suspend his job for introspection during the year, he did not give up and stood by his beliefs. It was not until the end of the 7,000-person congress in 1962 that the relevant departments took the initiative to correct some unjust, false and wrongful cases, and Wang Jiqing was able to make a comeback and continue to serve as the principal of the No. 8 Middle School.
His firm belief and perseverance are worth learning from.
Wang Jiqing and ** have three sons, namely Wang Bing, Wang Jun and Wang Zhi. Among them, Wang Bing was the deputy chief of staff of the South China Sea Fleet Air Force, Wang Jun served as the chairman of the CITIC Group in the business community, and Wang Zhi was a computer scientist in China, who founded the China Computer Development Corporation and served as the general manager.
In short, Wang Jiqing's three sons have all made outstanding contributions to the development of the motherland in their respective fields, and they are all valuable assets of the country.
