前几日，国内有关方面发布讣告，中央保健委员会原办公室主任（中央保健局原局长）王敏清同志，因病医治无效，于2024年8月19日在北京逝世，享年95岁。王敏清老先生是我的“忘年交”挚友，也是我学习的榜样，我尊称他为王老。由于自己事务繁忙，未能及时注意国内这份讣告，直到送别仪式结束，我才得知王老已经仙逝。
A few days ago, an obituary was released saying that Comrade Wang Minqing, the former head of the office of the Central Health Care Commission (the former director of the Central Health Care Bureau), died in Beijing on August 19, 2024 at the age of 95 due to illness. Mr. Wang Minqing is my dear friend and a role model for me, and I respectfully call him “Wang Lao”. Due to my own busy schedule, I was unable to pay attention to the obituary in time. It was after the funeral that I learned that Mr. Wang had passed away.
王老是中央特科负责人、八路军副总参谋长王世英之子，生于1929年，12岁以“娃娃战士”参加革命，17岁加入中国共产党。此后担任华北军区第一野战医院医生，华北军区陆军总医院医生，中央保健委员会办公室副主任、主任，中央保健局局长等职务。王老的父亲王世英长期在中央特科工作，曾经担任八路军副总参谋长，解放后历任中共山西省委书记，中央监察委员会专职委员等职。
Mr. Wang Minqing was the son of Wang Shiying, head of the Central Special Branch and deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army. Born in 1929, he joined the revolution at the age of 12 as a “child soldier” and joined the Communist Party of China at the age of 17. Since then, he has served as a doctor at the First Field Hospital of the North China Military Region, a doctor at the Army General Hospital of the North China Military Region, deputy director and director of the office of the Central Health Care Committee, and director of the Central Health Care Bureau. Wang's father, Wang Shiying, had long worked in the Central Special Branch, once served as deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and after liberation served as secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and as a full-time member of the Central Supervisory Commission.
大约在十六年前，我还在澳大利亚担任国际七三学社主席，有一次回国，为了帮助一个“红色后代”小女孩解决北京户口，我写信给时任北京市委书记刘淇同志。由于这个小女孩的爷爷也是革命前辈，和王老的父亲王世英曾经同在中央特科工作，所以就请王老签名佐证我的信函。小女孩的户口解决后，我专程去拜访了王老。
About sixteen years ago, when I was Chairman of the International Seven-Three Society in Australia. Once when I returned to China, I wrote a letter to Comrade Liu Qi, the then Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, in order to help a little girl of the “Red Descendants” to solve the problem of household registration in Beijing. Since this little girl's grandfather was also a former revolutionary, and since he and Wang's father, Wang Shiying, worked together in the Central Special Branch, I asked Wang to sign my letter. After the little girl's household registration problem was solved, I made a special trip to visit Wang.
王老和高占祥先生一样，称赞我是他们半个世纪以来见过的最优秀的“笔杆子”，这个称赞委实让我汗颜，但这样的鼓励让我充满了前进的信心，从此我与王老来往频繁，每次归国都会去看望他。一旦见面，他就给我做体检，比如听诊心脏、量血压等流程。我和他开玩笑：“您是给中央领导做保健的，我这游击队的何德何能麻烦您啊！”
Like Mr. Gao Zhanxiang, Mr. Wang praised me as the best “Bi Gan Zi(writer)” they had seen in half a century. This praise really puts me to shame, but such encouragement fills me with confidence to move forward. From then on, I had frequent dealings with Mr. Wang and visited him every time I returned to China. Every time we met, he gave me a medical checkup, such as listening to my heartbeat and measuring my blood pressure. I joked with him, “You are the one who provides health care services to the central leaders, how can I, an ordinary person, trouble you!”
接触时间多了，我和王老商议一起干点事，我们创办了北京圣佩清医学研究院，机构名中的清字就是源于王老的名字，我们以这个机构名义举办万寿论坛、出版医学研究书籍等。王老时常担心我们在海外没有工作经费，对我的一些商业构想大力支持，比如支持军赋科技研究院创办贵州军赋酒业有限公司，他还多次参与品尝军赋酒，提出宝贵意见。
After a long time of contact, Mr. Wang and I agreed to do something together. We founded the Beijing Shengpei Qing Medical Research Institute, and the word “Qing” in the name of the Institute is derived from the name of Mr. Wang Minqing . In the name of this Institute , we have organized the Wanshou Forum, published medical research books, and so on. Mr. Wang was often concerned that we had no funds for our work overseas, and he strongly supported some of my business ideas. For example, he supported the Junfu Science and Technology Research Institute to establish Guizhou Junfu Wine Co. He has also participated in the tasting of Junfu wines on several occasions, offering valuable advice.
新冠病毒事件发生以来，许多问题真真假假，普通老百姓很难辨别，基本上都被忽悠成了谈病毒而色变。我也担心自己万一从国外回来，把不明病毒传播给一些老前辈，他们年老体弱，抵抗力已经不如过去。针对已经九十多岁国宝级的王老，我基本上不敢去他家里拜访了，一般通过电话和微信问候，但内心对这位“忘年交”挚友的感情一点也没有淡化，反而更加深厚。
Since the 2019-nCoV outbreak, it has been difficult for the people to discern the truth of many of the issues, and they have basically become virus-phobic. I'm also worried about the possibility that I might come back from abroad and spread an unknown virus to some old-timers who are old and frail and whose resistance is not what it used to be. For Mr. Wang, who is already a national treasure in his nineties, I basically don't dare to visit him at home anymore, and usually greet him by phone and WeChat. But the inner feelings for this dear friend have not faded at all, but have grown even deeper.
事实上，王老去世的那一天，我已经从国外回来，以南合组织南方丝绸之路总商会理事长身份，前往海上丝绸之路文化地区福建省考察调研。遗憾的是，有朋友通过微信将噩耗和讣告发给我，我没有注意看微信。未能回京参加送别仪式，内心是多么的遗憾和悲痛，往事历历在目，王老音容永在，今撰此文送别我敬爱的“忘年交”王老。
As a matter of fact, on the day of Wang's death, I had already returned China from abroad, and in my capacity as Chairman of the Southern Silk Road Chamber of Commerce of the SSCO, I had traveled to Fujian Province, the cultural region of the Maritime Silk Road, to conduct research. Unfortunately, a friend sent me the obituary via WeChat and I didn't pay attention to the WeChat. How sorry and saddened I am that I could not return to Beijing to attend the funeral. Wang's past is fresh in my mind, Wang's face is in front of my eyes, Wang's voice surrounds my ears, and I am writing this article in memory of my beloved friend Mr. Wang Minqing.
