Wang Zhipeng was born in 1924. He grew up to be tall, but because he had smallpox as a boy, he unfortunately had a few pockmarks on his face, so he was known as "Wang Pockmarked."

Tracing back to the roots, there was a “Wang Baochang” in Longzhen Township

“There used to be a ‘Longzhen Wang Baochang’ in Longzhen Township! Everyone thinks that whether it is the movie "Catching the Strong Man" or the story of Wang Baochang in the TV series, they all have some connection with our Wang Baochang! "Before the West China City Reader reporter went to Longzhen Township, Junlian County for an interview, local friends from Longzhen mentioned "Longzhen liquor", "alpine old bacon", "green fern" when introducing the local customs and folk specialties of Longzhen. Such a sentence is always mentioned after local specialties such as "dishes".

The story of Wang Baochang has added many stories and plots to the original one.

Is there also Wang Baochang in Longzhen? Is this remote town in southern Sichuan, Junlian County, the birthplace of the legendary Wang Baochang?

Recently, a reporter came to Jun with questions? Longzhen Township, Lian County explores the true story of Wang Zhipeng, the "Wang Baochang of Longzhen". Through inquiries and conversations with Wang Zhenglian, the wife of "Longzhen Wangbaochang" Wang Zhipeng, fellow villagers in Longzhen Township, and the inquiry of many materials, it is discovered that "Wang Baochang of Longzhen" "The real story of "Wang Baochang" in movies and TV series does overlap quite a bit.

Could it be a lot of coincidence that the story is similar

"In the 1960s and 1970s, he was He was directly criticized as the "Wang Baochang" in the movie "Catching the Young Men". "Wang Zhipeng's daughter Wang Zhenglian said that because of this, Wang Zhipeng was often called "Longzhen Wang Baochang" by local people to show that he was different and related to the movie character "Wang Baochang".

"Republic of China" period , Longzhen Township, now known as Longzhen by the locals, was originally called Longtang, and the chief of the 11th Bao was named Wang Zhipeng.

Wang Zhipeng was born in 1924. He grew up to be tall, but due to his childbirth. Smallpox, unfortunately, left a few pockmarks on his face, so he was called "Wang Mazi". This is very similar to the image of Wang Baochang in "Catch the Strong Man". The movie character Wang Baochang was also called "Wang Mazi" when he grew up and did not do his job properly. He often molested passing women, and even his wife was snatched back from Yunnan. In 1942, when Longtang was officially established as a township, Wang Mazi went to the township office and became a village servant; in early 1944, he became the 11th security guard.

After Wang Mazi became the chief security officer, he became a figure in Longtang Township, a small town in the mountains of southern Sichuan. Naturally, he gathered several brothers, among whom he was the closest. The one with a hunchback is also similar to the character in the movie "Capturing the Strong". The "follower" of the movie character Wang Zhipeng is also a hunchback, named "Pan Hunchback". However, the hunchbacked "follower" of Wang Zhipeng is not named Pan but Wang. His name is Wang Chengbing, and he is called "Wang Tuobei" by the locals in a long voice. Wang Zhipeng and Wang Tuobei often work together to get money and borrow money at usury, and they have done many bad things.

Wang Zhipeng, the pock-marked warden, has little education, but he is very face-conscious and pompous. He likes to make friends with people from all walks of life. He often drinks tea and drinks with his friends.

He has a bad temper and likes to intimidate people when something happens. His catchphrase is "I'm going to deal with you." When he is making money and eating well, he always uses this as a symbol of his status from time to time: "I want to deal with you"!

Wang Zhipeng was the eleventh security guard of the chief, less than 1 kilometer away from the streets of Longtang Township, so he often went to a teahouse next to Longqiao (a small place name) in front of the township office at that time. Drink tea. The owner of the teahouse is named Li Yinwu, and he often lends money at usury. Wang Zhipeng and Li Yinwu are good friends at one moment, and at the next they plot against each other. This is similar to the relationship between Wang Baochang and Li Laoshuan in the movie "Catch the Strong Man". Li Yinwu has three sons, the third of whom is named Li Ligang. He is slow-minded and a bit boring. He is also very similar to Li Laoshuan's son "Sanwazi" in "Catching the Strong Men".

In addition, the movie "Capture the Strong" did not specify where the story took place, but several TV series filmed later named the place where the story took place as Longyin Town, which is similar to the name of Longzhen. There are so many coincidences that make people sigh!

Welcoming the liberation was once designated as "Wang Baochang"

The last few years when Wang Zhipeng became the Baochang coincided with the period when the Kuomintang was recruiting troops forcibly to launch a civil war. As the security chief, Wang Zhipeng worked very hard to catch Ding and distribute funds.

“It was very cruel to capture strong men at that time. Once caught, they were tied up with ropes and then imprisoned together like prisoners. When enough people were arrested, they were taken to the county together and finally sent to the county seat. "Go to the front line and serve as cannon fodder."

Li Kui'an, a 93-year-old man from Longzhen Township, said that in 1946, a young man chopped off his own head with a knife in Xiadunba (a small place name) in Junlian Town, Junlian County. The incident with the index finger on his right hand - without the index finger, he could not use the trigger of the rifle, so he could escape the fate of being captured. The cruelty of catching strong men can be seen from this.

In the TV series "The True Story of Wang Baochang" filmed after the movie "Capture the Strong Man", the final ending of the TV character "Wang Baochang" is: welcoming liberation, and "Dragon Town King Baochang" Wang Zhipeng also finally welcomed liberation. After liberation, Wang Zhipeng joined the Chinese People's Volunteers to fight in North Korea. Shortly after returning home after retiring for three years, Wang Zhipeng was criticized.

"In the 1960s, a slogan was hung on the streets of Longzhen, 'Exposing in depth the evil crime of the bad guy Wang Zhipeng who acted as a pseudo-security chief to arrest young men and persecute the people.' At that time, he was directly featured in the movie "Capturing Young Men" Wang Zhipeng's daughter Wang Zhenglian said that in the late 1970s, "Longzhen Wang Baochang" Wang Zhipeng returned to a normal life. Until his death in 1993, his life was very poor.

"It is precisely because of the filming, screening and broadcasting of the movie "Catch the Young Man" and the many "Wang Baochang" TV series derived from it that many people remember Wang Baochang; it is also because of this that "Longzhen Wang Baochang" "Wang Zhipeng was designated as the real-life 'Wang Baochang' and was criticized." Local people said that Wang Zhipeng was called the "Longzhen Wang Baochang" because of too many "coincidences" between his story and the movie characters. He was designated as the "Wang Baochang" in the movie, which changed the trajectory of his life.
