Wang Jialie (王家烈) (1893 -
August 11 ,1966 ) Chairmen of the Guizhou government Nov 1931 - May 1935, and he continuously resistedChiang Kai-shek 's attempt to unifyChina under his central government.One of Wang's most notorious and successful attempt occurred during Chiang's first attempt to spread his power to
Guizhou by establishingKuomintang party memberships inGuizhou that was previously non-existent. Wang first refused Chiang's request, but later when he realized that he could not get away with it, Wang answered Chiang by claiming that everyone inGuizhou would become a member ofKuomingtang . Chiang was too far away to offer any actual help to his recruiters inGuizhou , and as a result, recruiters had to randomly circle names from the local population registry in order to fulfill their task and Wang thus successfully thwarted Chiang's initial takeover attempt.However, Chiang got his chance for revenge years later when pursuing the fleeing
Chinese Red Army during theLong March . Wang's local provincial army was no match for the communist force and under the excuse of helping the locals rid of the communists by chasing after them, Chiang sent in his own troops intoGuizhou , and successfully bribed Wang's trusted lieutenants to defect to Chiang's camp. Without his effective military support, Wang Jialie was deposed byChiang Kai-shek after theChinese Red Army leftGuizhou . Wang eventually returned toZunyi in May 1946 for his retirement. After the communist takeover, Wang was named the deputy chairman of the provincialPeople's Political Consultative Conference , but he was struggled during theCultural Revolution byRed Guards and died in 1966.
