The political commissar and commander of this unit successively changed defenses during the adjustment of the PLA military cadres. According to the "Yunnan Daily", on 02 April 2015, the Second Artillery Corps of the People's Liberation Army awarded Wang Zhongxin the honorary title of "Practicing a Strong Army Target Model Officer". The naming conference was held in a certain department of the Second Artillery in Yunnan.

According to public information, the second artillery stationed in a certain part of Yunnan is the 53rd base of the second artillery, the unit code is 96201, and the station is Kunming, Yunnan. Wang Zhongxin is a squad leader of the army. Tang Guoqing said in his speech on April 2 that the Second Artillery Station in Yunnan is a missile powerhouse with profound historical heritage and honour. Wang Zhongxin is an advanced model that emerged from the Second Artillery Force during the journey of strengthening the army.

After 29 years in the military, Wang Zhongxin always insisted on being professional, strong in skill, difficult in difficulty, being a human ladder, maintaining his true colors, proficient in operating 3 types of missile weapons, proficient in 19 missile measurement and control positions, and deducing with extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions. "The Legend of the Soldier King" was honored with second-class merits once and second-class merits twice, and was twice received by Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, as "a veteran recognized by Xi Jinping at a glance."

Li Yuchao is a general who grew up step by step from the grassroots of the Second Artillery Force. He graduated from the first master's degree program of the army's first division. He served as the head of the Second Artillery Emergency Mobile Operations Regiment, the commander of the nuclear emergency missile brigade, the deputy chief of staff of a base, the vice president of the Second Artillery Engineering University, and the deputy commander of a base. Staff and other positions, promoted to the rank of major general in 2013.

He controlled the strategic missile vehicle and accepted the review of the motherland and the people.

Major General Zhang Youxiang has served as the political commissar of the 53rd Base of the Second Artillery Corps at least in January this year. On the afternoon of January 24 this year, at the opening of the third meeting of the 11th CPPCC Yunnan Provincial Committee, Major General Zhang Youxiang and Major General Deng Zhiping, deputy commander of the 14th Army Group, took a seat on the rostrum.

A number of generals who have gone out from the 53rd Base of the Second Artillery had successively entered the second artillery leadership team, such as the current Central Military Commission member, General Wei Feng and Admiral General of the Second Artillery, and Deputy Commander Zhou Yaning of the Second Artillery. Major General Zhou Yaning was promoted to the commander of the 52nd base from the commander of the 53rd base around 2011, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the second artillery in December 2014.

Wang Zhongxin, male, Han nationality, born in Xiuning, Anhui, was born in October 1968 and joined the army in December 1986. The battalion technical battalion of the 622 brigade of the 62nd base of the Rocket Army tested a squad leader of 1 sergeant in the 1st company. Proficient in operating 3 types of missile weapons, proficient in 19 missile measurement and control positions, and is hailed as "Operation King", "Troubleshooting King", and "Teaching King" by officers and soldiers. He won the Outstanding Talents Award of the Sergeant Officer three times, and was named as the army's elite martial arts model and outstanding Communist Party member. In 2015, he was awarded the honorary title of "Practice Strong Army Target Model Officer" by the former Second Artillery Corps.

Wang Zhongxin, the squad leader of the Rocket Brigade's technical battalion and the first-level sergeant, is known admirably as the "Missile King." In the autumn of 2007, Wang Zhongxin ’s troops swept northwest of the division to perform live ammunition launches. In an important sub-system test before launch, a signal indicator has not been displayed. Seeing the launch window getting closer and closer, Wang Zhongxin was ordered to lead the technical team to troubleshoot. I saw that he quickly opened the relevant four circuit diagrams, while deducing along the line, while quickly eliminating all kinds of "impossible". After more than an hour, Wang Zhongxin locked the fault on a circuit board. Upon checking, it turned out that a capacitor on this circuit board was broken. Replace with a new capacitor, the indicator shows normal. A few days later, a new type of missile took off in the northwest Gobi, rushed into the sky and hit the best accuracy in history.

There is such a set of data that records his value: 31 years as a soldier, 29 years as a company, and 28 years as a squad leader. He was repeatedly received by President Xi, and was honorably elected as the representative of the 12th National People's Congress; skilled in operating three types of missiles Weapon, proficient in all 19 positions of the measurement and control major, tens of thousands of installation operations, no mistakes; participated in 28 major missions, operated and commanded the launch of multiple types of missile weapons, hits; trained and helped bring out more than 200 Technical backbone, more than 40 people entered the Rocket Army and base technology talent pool.

Success is not accidental. From the first day of enlistment, Wang Zhongxin had a firm belief that everything must be the best, and must be at the forefront at all times. After the reform of the rank of non-commissioned officers in 2009, Wang Zhongxin became one of the first batch of first-level sergeants in the army. Many people think that he "can lie down until retirement", but he was still strict with himself and led by example.

In 2013, Wang Zhongxin was elected to the National People's Congress. In addition to fulfilling his duties and responsibilities, he also insisted on investigation and research, extensively collected first-hand information, actively made suggestions and suggestions, and actively sowed theoretical seeds.

At the end of 2016, Wang Zhongxin, who reached the soldier's maximum service life, could have retired, but remembering his beloved missile business, Wang Zhongxin chose to continue his service. He said: "It was the organization that cultivated me. As long as the organization still needs me for a day, I will work hard to do my part well and contribute my strength to the cause of strengthening the army."
