Wang attained the rank of lieutenant general in 2011. In July 2013, he succeeded the retiring lieutenant general Li Guohui as Deputy Political Commissar of the Lanzhou Military Region.[2]
In December 2014, Wang retired after reaching 63, the mandatory retirement age for deputy military region chief-level commanders. About the same time, Fan Changmi, the other deputy political commissar of the Lanzhou MR, was dismissed and placed under investigation for corruption.[2][3] They were replaced by two lieutenant generals transferred from other military regions: Shi Xiao from the Chengdu Military Region and Kang Chunyuan from the Beijing Military Region.[2]
