Biography[edit]

Wang was born in the town of Buliu, Rongcheng County, Shandong, in November 1938.[2]

Wang enlisted in the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in January 1956, and served in the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).[2] In 1958, after the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis, he served in the coastal province Fujian. In March 1960, he enrolled at the Advanced Vocational School of the People's Liberation Army Navy, and graduated in September 1961. He joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at the same year.[2] In November 1965, he served as the captain of the 126 torpedo boat squadron.[2] He and his battle companion sank the Nationalist warship "Yongchang", wounded "Yongtai", and captured 9 enemies.[2] As a result, he was personally honored with second-class merit.[2]

Wang became deputy commander of the People's Liberation Army Navy Fujian Base [zh] in December 1976, rising to commander in August 1985.[2] In July 1987, he was reassigned as commander of the People's Liberation Army Navy Zhoushan Base [zh], and held that office until October 1991.[2] Starting in 1992, he successively served as deputy commander of the East Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet. He was commissioned as deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region in November 1994, in addition to serving as commander of the South Sea Fleet.[2][3] In August 1998, he led two marine corps with nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers to withstand the impact of the sixth, seventh, and eighth flood peaks of the Yangtze River, ruled out 15 major and minor risks, and successfully completed the flood control and rescue mission.

Wang was promoted to the rank of rear admiral (shaojiang) in August 1988 and to vice admiral (zhongjiang) in August 1996.[2]
