The Qing government brutally suppressed this movement. After he got out of danger, in October 1911, Wei Zhoushang, ran chonggen and Shi tiyuan returned to his hometown East The townships and counties (Xuanhan) organized young "volunteers", and hundreds of urban and rural militia groups entered the city to hold an armed uprising, and ordered the county magistrate to surrender, On December 2, the Dongxiang military government was established, and Weizhou served as the guard captain.

After the fall of the Qing government, Wang Weizhou served as the battalion commander and head of the "Jingguo army" and led the Ministry to fight against yuan and protect the law. One for each garrison, He strictly disciplined the officers and soldiers of his subordinates, and demanded that they should not be recruited, slavish, or harass the people. This won the hearts of the people, which was rare at that time. Up to now, Xuanhan county still retains the moral and political monuments such as "eliminating violence and pacifying the people" and "Zhao people rely on it" which were built by the people for Wang Weizhou in those years, which express their respect for him. However, in the old days, the armed forces were engaged in intrigues and struggles to win land and profits, and wars continued, leading to the people's suffering and suffering year after year, This completely destroyed his ideal of serving the people. He resolutely abandoned his official position and left for Shanghai, believing that he would find a real way to save the country and the people.

In 1920, Weizhou resolutely left the old army and went to Shanghai. In Shanghai, Wang Weizhou met Comrade Jin Li of the international communist organization, He began to come into contact with Marxist theory, and he eagerly studied and actively publicized Marxism, thereby strengthening his faith and pursuit throughout his life. In May 1920, introduced by Jin Li, Wang Weizhou joined the Korean Communist Organization in China and went to the Soviet Union to study in the same year. At that time, the young Soviet socialist countries were under joint attack by the armies of 14 imperialist countries, and their domestic material conditions were extremely poor, There is a shortage of food, and each person can only guarantee half a pound of black bread every day. Wang Weizhou, together with other students, actively responded to Lenin's call for "compulsory labor on Saturdays", He often endured hunger and participated in voluntary labor to support the front line and the Red Army. On the day of the national day of the Soviet Union, Wang Weizhou and his classmates participated in the Red Square celebration He met Lenin, the revolutionary mentor, and listened to Lenin's vivid speech. Wang Weizhou deeply felt this and will never forget it.

In 1921, he set out for home with great revolutionary enthusiasm. The following year, he and Comrade Wu Yuzhang jointly organized the red heart society in Beijing Yes, it publicized Marxism Leninism, organized fund-raising and disaster relief, and supported the Soviet Union. In early 1922, he returned to Beijing and organized the "Red Heart Society" with Wu Yuzhang to publicize the October Revolution, Launched the "Russian disaster relief association", raised a donation of 100000 yuan, and purchased materials to transport to the Soviet Union. In 1923, Wang Weizhou returned to his hometown due to his mother's illness. After his mother died, he established a new group of girls' school in Qingxi. Later, he took over Hongwen high school, hired progressive teachers to reform education, made Hongwen high school a model high school, established a Communist group, and trained revolutionary youth, Organize Communist groups and set up Qunhua newspapers; In Xuanhan county and Kaijiang County In Liangshan County, peasant associations were established to develop peasant armed forces and carry out activities such as fighting against local tyrants and driving out warlords.

In 1925, he was ordered to work in Wuhan. In 1927, he participated in the Hubei peasant movement workshop presided over by Mao Zedong, After listening to Mao Zedong and Peng Pai's lectures on the peasant movement, I understood the characteristics and tasks of the Chinese revolution. This is the most important moment in Comrade Wang Weizhou's life, This laid a solid foundation for his struggle for the Chinese revolution and the Communist cause. In the same year, he joined the Communist Party of China.

After the failure of the great revolution, Wang Weizhou secretly sneaked back to the east of Sichuan and mobilized the peasants to fight against exploitation and oppression in Xuanhan, Daxian, Chengkou, Wanyuan, Liangshan and Kaijiang, Together with Li Jiajun of Wanyuan, Tang Bozhuang of Daxian County, Lei Yushu of Xuanhan and other revolutionary martyrs, he established the Red Army guerrillas in eastern Sichuan (the guerrillas are composed of two routes) to carry out the armed struggle in rural areas. He successively served as deputy commander in chief and commander in chief. After the first and second route Red Army guerrillas were frantically suppressed by the enemy, he launched peasant uprisings in Hunan, Daxian and Nanyue and organized the third route Red Army guerrillas. In the white terror environment where the enemy was strong and we were weak, Rooted in the masses, he has long insisted on armed struggle and opened up a guerrilla base in eastern Sichuan.

In 1930, the "left" line dominated the party. Wang Weizhou had to be ordered to lead the guerrillas in eastern Sichuan to attack Hankou, which suffered a major setback. After the failure, Wang Weizhou led the rest of the troops to break through the siege and return to Eastern Sichuan, summed up the lessons and reorganized the guerrilla army in eastern Sichuan; The guerrilla army has grown to tens of thousands of people by constantly recruiting young farmers with consciousness, which has rekindled the spark of revolution in eastern Sichuan and created favorable conditions for the establishment of the Sichuan Shaanxi revolutionary base area. Comrade Zhu De published Liberation Daily in Yan'an in June 1943 An article in this regard said: all these efforts "have made great contributions to the entry and rapid expansion of the main force of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army into Sichuan."

In the autumn of 1933, during the Xuanda campaign, the eastern Sichuan guerrilla army cooperated with the red Fourth Front Army to liberate Xuanhan, Daxian and Wanyuan. [3] At the end of 1933, the eastern Sichuan guerrilla army and the red Fourth Front Army successfully joined forces, making the Sichuan Shaanxi revolutionary base area and the eastern Sichuan guerrilla area. After that, the East Sichuan guerrilla army was reorganized into the 33rd army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army. Wang Weizhou served as the commander, with three divisions (97, 98 and 99), Jiang Qunlin as the commander of the 99th division, ran nanxuan as the commander of the 98th division, and Wang Bo as the commander of the 99th division. The red 33rd army then took part in the anti six route siege campaign which lasted for 10 months, The eastern expedition to Wanyuan and Chengkou defeated the reactionary local armed forces, and expanded the Sichuan Shaanxi base area to the East for more than 100 miles.

At the moment when the defense war in the Sichuan Shaanxi base area was unprecedentedly fierce, Zhang Guotao pursued the "left leaning line", which led to the expansion of the elimination of counter revolutionaries, causing heavy personnel losses to the red 33 army, and many revolutionary comrades were detained and examined. Wang dinglie, who joined the red 33 army at the age of 15 and was the Secretary (secretary) of the 295 regiment, was also among them. At the critical moment, Wang Weizhou risked the risk to personally go to the 295 regiment to deal with the problem. He was very sad to see what happened. In line with the principle of taking the overall situation into consideration, safeguarding unity, protecting cadres and stabilizing the army, after careful screening and understanding and in-depth and meticulous ideological work, he announced the release of detained cadres and soldiers on the spot at the CYL meeting, and removed the political commissar of the CYL, thus protecting a number of valuable revolutionary backbone forces in a timely manner. However, the "elimination of counter revolutionaries" still affected the leaders of the red 33rd army such as Wang Weizhou. Army commander Wang Weizhou and political commissar Yang Keming were successively removed from their leadership posts.

Wang Weizhou was transferred to the general headquarters of the Fourth Red front army. He did not care about his personal gains and losses. He was loyal to his duty. He fought against Zhang Guotao's wrong line of splitting the Central Committee and the Red Army in the Fourth Red front army. He firmly stood on the side of Zhu De and other comrades, supported the correct direction of the Central Committee to go north to resist Japan, and followed the left Route Army to cross the snow mountains and grasslands three times. After going through difficulties and dangers, he demonstrated a Communist Party member's firm belief in the truth. In 1943, at the meeting of senior cadres in Northwest China, Chairman Mao personally presented him with a letter of "loyalty to the party and the country".

From August 1937, Wang Weizhou served as the Deputy brigade commander, brigade commander and political commissar of the former 385 brigade of the 129th division of the Eighth Route Army. He led the brigade directly and incorporated a regiment into the rear garrison of the Eighth Route Army, stationed in Longdong, and carried out the task of defending the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region of the Party Central Committee. In 1945, after Chairman Mao went to Chongqing for peace talks, the Party Central Committee decided to appoint Wu Yuzhang and Wang Weizhou as secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Sichuan provincial Party committee, and Wang Weizhou went to Chongqing with his family to work. After the CPC Central Committee decided to open the Sichuan provincial Party committee's activities, Jiang Jieshi learned of Wang Weizhou's return to Sichuan. Chiang Kai Shek felt a kind of unspeakable anxiety about the return of this veteran soldier who participated in the 1911 Revolution in his early years, was familiar with the generals of the Sichuan army, had rich experience in guerrilla warfare, and had a deep mass base. One day, Zhang Dulun, the mayor of Chongqing and director of the acting camp, invited Wu Yuzhang and Wang Weizhou to his home in the name of inviting guests to dinner to convey Chiang Kai Shek's intention: to restrict Wang Weizhou to come out of Sichuan in three days, or to arrest and detain him and restrict his freedom. Zhang also said: Wang Weizhou is an expert specializing in mutiny. Obviously, the Kuomintang hated and feared Wang Weizhou, and was deeply afraid that he would enter Sichuan, which the Kuomintang regarded as the rear area, as a Communist Party, and pose a threat to the Kuomintang's local power. Therefore, the Kuomintang made excuses, Wang Weizhou and his family were hurriedly sent to Nanjing by plane. After coordination by the office of the Eighth Route Army in Nanjing, Wang Weizhou and his family were able to change planes and return to Yan'an safely.

Comrade Wang Weizhou successively served as deputy commander of the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Shanxi Suiyuan joint defense army and deputy commander of the northwest military region, and assisted Comrade He Long in participating in the defense of Yan'an Major campaigns such as eliminating Hu zongnan and recovering Yan'an.

Wang Weizhou is the vice chairman of the Southwest Military and political Commission, the director of the Southwest Ethnic Affairs Commission, and the president of the Southwest Institute for nationalities. In 1956, he was transferred to Beijing and served as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee for a long time. He is a member of the Standing Committee of the first, second and third National People's Congress, an alternate member of the Seventh National People's Congress Member of the Central Committee of the Eighth CPC National Congress. During the "Cultural Revolution" period, he was an old man. In order to protect the old comrades, he was framed and attacked. He died of illness on January 10, 1970.

Comrade Wang Weizhou will always remember that he is the son of the people and serves the people wholeheartedly, no matter what position he assumes. On June 2, 1942, the Liberation Daily in Yan'an published an article on commander in chief Zhu's wish for Wang Weizhou's 56th birthday. The article pointed out: "Wang Weizhou completely regarded himself as the son and student of the masses, while the masses regarded him as a nanny and a husband." Commander in chief Zhu called: "he should be learned and respected by the whole party, the whole border region and the whole Chinese people. ”These evaluations represent the affirmation and praise of the central leadership for Comrade Wang Weizhou's revolutionary practice throughout his life.

During the war of resistance against Japan, among the people of Longdong in the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region, there was a saying that there were "Ma Qingtian" and "Wang Shanren" among the cadres of the Eighth Route Army. "Ma Qingtian" refers to Ma Xiwu, the Commissioner of Longdong district (the Commissioner in the film and drama Liu Qiaoer is a good leader, which means Ma Xiwu) 。 "Wang Shanren" refers to Comrade Wang Weizhou, brigade commander and political commissar of the 385 brigade of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Longdong.

One day in June 1939, Wang Weizhou and Li Youyi, a guard, helped the brigade's cooking team to fetch water from the river. When they came to the city wall, they saw a woman with a child digging the wall. The child's mouth was covered with mud. When I asked, I learned that what they were digging was a kind of "white board soil" containing a small amount of salt. Farmers in Northern Shaanxi often used it to satisfy their hunger in the year of famine. It is learned that the woman's husband is Shi Hua, who is the commander of the militia battalion in the village. She went to Yan'an to study for a period of time, and she was left to rent land with her children. When the year was bad, after paying the rent, the family had little food left, so they had to pick elm leaves and dig "white board soil" to supplement. When Wang Weizhou saw this, he was heartbroken. He took the mother and the son back to his home. He asked his wife Ma kuixuan to go to the canteen to fetch food for them. He also found his children's clothes and gave them to the mother. Wang Weizhou knew that solving one meal could not solve the famine problem of the family, so he personally wrote a note to Ma Xiwu and put forward suggestions: ask the special agency (government) to solve five Dou of grain and some relief funds for the woman to overcome the food shortage. He also instructed Xiao Li, a guard, to take his mother and son to the relevant departments of the Special Administration for implementation. Out of the gate, the woman asked Xiao Li, "what's the surname of the big guy with a foreign accent? What's the official of the Eighth Route Army?" Xiao Li told her: the big man is our brigadier Wang. The woman said, "Oh, God has opened his eyes. The officers of the Eighth Route Army are great benevolents." Since then, the reputation of the "great benevolent man" has been spread among the masses. In a hundred miles around Qingyang City, people know that there is a "Wang benevolent man" among the cadres of the Eighth Route Army. As long as it is a matter for the people, he will take it to heart.

In 1942, an old lady went to the 385 brigade headquarters to see Wang Shanren. The sentry stopped her and told her: "Wang Shanren" was a brigade commander, not a doctor. Wang Weizhou came out to see her in person after learning that she had a disease called "gall melon" in Northern Shaanxi, that is, big neck disease caused by iodine deficiency. He sent the unknown old lady to the hospital of 385 brigade outside Qingyang City. Under the technical conditions of diagnosis and treatment at that time, the doctor thought that the old lady needed surgery, but the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region was blocked, and the medical conditions were very difficult. The brigade hospital did not have corresponding professional and technical personnel. Therefore, Wang Weizhou sent a telegram to the Yan'an Party Central Committee requesting help to treat the old lady's disease. Before long, two full-time surgeons were sent to Yan'an to perform the operation for the aunt and make her recover quickly. The people of Longdong went around telling each other that the Eighth Route Army had saved the people and solved their difficulties The story of seeking benefits for the people, so that when people burn incense and worship God, they always pray that the Eighth Route Army will win the war and the Communist Party will win the world.

Once, when Wang Weizhou was passing by Xinbao village, he met a middle-aged man crying beside the road. After inquiry, it was learned that the farmer had worked hard to grow 10 mu of watermelon. Overnight, the seedlings of small watermelons had been hung. I don't know who had pulled them into a mess. He was extremely sad to see the watermelon land that his family was counting on to survive was ruined. After learning about the situation, Wang Weizhou personally went to the district government to file a complaint on behalf of the people and instructed that it must be investigated and handled. One month later, Wang Weizhou went to the Xinbao district government to inquire about the handling result of the matter. He was relieved to learn that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved. Wang Weizhou and Ma Xiwu, as leaders of the party, government and army in Longdong, insisted on handling affairs impartially, and seized all local violations of law and discipline, regardless of their size. They believe that, As an official, we should take charge of those who violate the law and things that violate the law. We should be the masters of the people, punish the evil and promote the good, so that the people can truly feel that the government style of the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region government is what it says.

After the founding of new China, whether Wang Weizhou held an important position in the Southwest Bureau or served as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee supervisory committee, his consistent thinking and style of caring for the people and insisting that party members must be honest and honest for the public are still reflected in his work. In 1958, there was a wind of exaggeration in the party, and the situation of concealment and misrepresentation in various places increased. Although Wang Weizhou is over 70 years old, he still insists on deeply understanding the national conditions and the people's conditions on the ground. Every time he goes to the place, he openly and seriously criticizes the exaggeration of false and concealed reports. He said without any concealment: cadres who engage in boasting "are not Marxism, they are niukesi. They cannot boast about socialism by boasting!" After returning to Beijing, He formally submitted a work report to the central supervisory committee, suggesting that those cadres who relied on lying and did not persuade them to change their ways should be given disciplinary sanctions and, in serious cases, dismissed from office.

In 1963, Wang Weizhou was already 76 years old. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wang asked to participate in the procuratorial work conference held in Sichuan Province, hoping to implement the spirit of the central 7000 people conference and a series of instructions of the central supervision committee. He went to East Sichuan for inspection and investigation along the way. When he heard the people's reflection that life was difficult due to the impact of natural disasters, and some people died of starvation, he was sad and shed tears. During the 18 days of observation and covert visits in Xuanhan County, various symposiums and investigation meetings were held, more than 100 petitioners were received, 150 letters were received, the problems of the then county Party committee were found out, and the Sichuan provincial Party committee took the initiative to communicate with them. The post of secretary of the then Xuanhan county Party committee was removed. At the same time, he presided over the vindication of a number of unjust, false and wrong cases, gave party lectures and reports to students and government cadres seven times, and publicized the policies and instructions of the Party Central Committee. While solving the problem of cadres, he promptly reported to the central authorities and applied for an increase of two liang of grain per person per day for the people of Xuanhan County, which was seriously affected by the disaster, to help them tide over the current difficulties. Today, the 60-70-year-old people in Xuanhan county are filled with emotion when they talk about Wang Weizhou's return to his hometown during the three-year difficult period.

Throughout his military service, Comrade Wang Weizhou has always cherished deep feelings for the masses, patiently listened to the opinions of the masses, realistically reported the situation to the central authorities, and solved the problems urgently needed by the masses. He despises cadres who look at the wind, speculate about their superiors, and make superficial remarks. He said that it is a crime against the people to let such selfish people gain official positions.
