What kind of person is Wang Baochang in history?

Wang Baochang is a character in the movie "Catch the Young Men", and there is a prototype of this person in history. In history, he was a man with no culture, but he was very good-looking, ostentatious, liked to make friends with people from all walks of life, and often had tea and drinks with three friends and four friends.

almost everyone in Sichuan knows about the movie "Catch the Young Men". This is a satirical comedy. Wang Baochang, who wrote about the old society, wanted to make a fortune in the conscription. When he got carried away, Li Laoshuan's eldest son, who was returned from the provincial capital, led the whole family to beat him. After the fight, the two sides made plans to catch a strong man. Unexpectedly, the Huaying Mountain guerrillas went down the mountain, and the captured able-bodied men took the opportunity to riot.

When the Spring Festival was approaching in p>1947, the then Chengdu municipal government issued a telegram, rejecting the joint request to suspend conscription. The original file said, "Before the investigation of the case of the 11th District Office, the joint request was made to resume the annual customs clearance due to the industrial and commercial depression and economic exhaustion, and the conscription work was difficult, so as to relieve the people's difficulties. The matter of conscription cannot be delayed. " This file truly reflects the rapid inflation in China at that time, and the government was busy with the civil war.

the eleventh district mentioned here is about equivalent to Nanchong, yuechi county and Vu Thang. As can be seen from a list of able-bodied men left by Jinjiang District Archives Bureau, most of the soldiers recruited in Nanchong, yuechi county and Vu Thang are farmers' children who don't have much land, and conscription is called "catching able-bodied men" in Sichuan, mainly because most of the able-bodied men are poor peasants who have no power or power. At that time, if they wanted to escape from catching young men, the poor had only one way at that time, that is, to join the Paoge organization in Sichuan.

Paoge Club originated in the late Qing Dynasty and prevailed in the Republic of China. Together with green gang and Hong Men, Paoge Club was the three major folk gang organizations at that time. The prevalence of Paoge has almost completely affected the military and political circles in Sichuan throughout the Republic of China. According to the records in Jinjiang District, during the Revolution of 1911, the signboard of "Da Han Gong" was hung in front of the Sichuan military government. Behind this signboard is the history of Yin Changheng, the governor of Sichuan, who made a fortune during the regime change.

At No.4 Wangjiaba Street, the fourth section of Hongxing Road in Chengdu, there is a unique old-fashioned mansion site. This is the official residence of Yin Changheng, the former governor of Sichuan, with a history of more than 15 years. In December 1911, the Revolution of 1911 was stormy, and there was a rebellion in Chengdu. Yin Changheng led his troops back to Rongping to quell the chaos, and then bought the mansion for a long time.

Here, Yin Changheng once contacted Paoge at the entrance of various lobbies in Chengdu, and asked the leading leaders of these non-governmental organizations to help him seize power in Sichuan. Later, Yin Changheng was placed under house arrest, and Zhou Jun, the successor minister of military and political affairs, followed Yin Changheng's example and gave himself the title of "Duke of the Mainland". Although his influence was quickly eliminated, Paoge's influence in Sichuan's military and political circles never dissipated. Therefore, the idea of becoming Paoge if he didn't want to be able-bodied man was born during the civil war.

Wu Yanping, an expert in Chengdu archives, said that in the process of arresting able-bodied men in Sichuan in those years, many poor people with ties to Paoge organization were not arrested. Junlian County is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. According to the records of Jinjiang District Archives Bureau, there are many reports of arresting able-bodied men here.

During the Republic of China, Longzhen Township, now known locally as Longzhen, was originally named Longtang, and the name of its eleventh insurance company was Wang Zhipeng. Wang Zhipeng was born in 1924, and he was tall when he grew up. However, as a teenager had smallpox, he unfortunately left a few pockmarked faces, so he was called "Wang Pockmarked". This is very similar to the image of Wang Baochang in Catch the Young Men. Pockmarked Wang often dallies with passing women, and even his wife was snatched back from Yunnan. In 1942, Longtan was officially established as a township, and Wang Mazi went to the township office to become a township; At the beginning of 1944, he became the director of the eleventh insurance company.

Pockmarked Wang became a figure in Longtang Township, a small town in the south of Sichuan, and his men naturally gathered several brothers, among which the one who was closest to him was a hunchback, which was similar to the character in the movie Catch the Young Men. However, this hunchbacked "follower" was named Wang Chengbing instead of Pan, and was called "Wang hunchback" by the local people face to face. Wang Zhipeng and Wang Tuobei often echo each other in catching Ding Pai and borrowing usury, and did many bad things.

Wang Zhipeng, the pockmarked boss, has little culture, but he is very proud and ostentatious, likes to make friends with people from all walks of life, and often drinks tea and wine with three friends and four friends. Wang Zhipeng has a bad temper, and he especially likes to intimidate people when he meets something. His mantra is "I want to fuck you". He always takes it as a symbol of his status from time to time when he is grasping Ding Pai's money and enjoying spicy food: that is, "Lao Zi wants to fuck you".

Wang Zhipeng, the 11th Bao of Bao Chang, is less than 1km away from the street in Longtang Township, so he often drinks tea in a teahouse near Huilongqiao at the entrance of the township office at that time. The owner of the teahouse is Li Yinwu, who often lends money at usury. Wang Zhipeng and Li Yinwu are good friends for a while, and then they calculate each other, which is similar to the relationship between Wang Baochang and Li Laoshuan in the movie "Catch a Young Man".

In addition, the location of the story was not stated in the movie "Catch the Young Men", but several TV series filmed later named the location of the story as Long Yin Town, which is similar to the name of Longzhen. So many coincidences can't help sighing. Not long ago, a reporter from Huaxi Dushi Bao interviewed the Wang family in Junlian County. Surprisingly, there is also a Wang Baochang in Junlian County with pockmarked face.

"At that time, it was very cruel to catch able-bodied men. As soon as they were caught, they were tied up with strings and then held together like prisoners. When the number of people is enough, they will be taken to the county town together and finally sent to the front line as cannon fodder. " Li Kui 'an, a 93-year-old man from Longzhen Township, said that in 1946, there was an incident in which a young man cut off his right index finger with a knife in Xiadunba, Junlian Town, Junlian County. Without the index finger, he could not use a rifle trigger to escape the fate of being arrested.

after liberation, Wang Zhipeng took part in Chinese people's Volunteer Army's war in Korea. Shortly after returning home from retirement for three years, Wang was criticized. "In the 196 s, the slogan" Expose in depth the evil element Wang Zhipeng as a pseudo-warden to arrest young men and persecute the people "was hung on Longzhen Street." Wang Zhipeng's daughter, Wang Zhenglian, said that in the late 197s, Wang Zhipeng returned to a normal life, and until his death in 1993, his life remained poor.

"It is precisely because of the filming, screening and broadcasting of the film" Catch the Young Men "and many Wang Baochang TV series derived from it that many people remember Wang Baochang; It is precisely because of this that' Longzhen Wang Baochang' Wang Zhipeng was fixed as the real' Wang Baochang' and was criticized. " The local people said that it was because of too many "coincidences" between his story and the characters in the film that he was fixed as "Wang Baochang" in the film, thus changing his life track.
