According to the obituary, Wang Bingzhang, the old Red Army, the cadre of the Third Party Branch and the former cadre of the Second Retired Cadres Conference in Beijing were the figures at the farewell ceremony.

Ye, the founder of Sentinel, is the author of the first commander-in-chief legend series and an expert in military history research. Ye said that Wang Bingzhang was the first commander of the China People's Liberation Army 17, and Wang Bingzhang died in Beijing on September 25th, 2005.

Then, why didn't a farewell ceremony be held for Wang Bingzhang in the twelve years after his death? According to official sources, Wang Bingzhang has been lying in the freezer for twelve years due to the influence of Lin Biao incident.

In the book Legend of the First Commander of the Second Field Army, Wang Bingzhang begins: "From the messenger in the Ningdu riots to the' father of the founding of missiles' of the Republic, Wang Bingzhang, the first commander of the 17th Army of the China People's Liberation Army, is enough to make people comment, as well as the photos that have been circulated in the world in the Pingxingguan campaign.
