It was not until 2019, or 21 years after Wang's retirement from his civilian service, that his military contributions became widely known in the neighborhood, as local authorities attempted to collect information on military veterans in that year.

To date, Wang still lives a simple life, passing his time by reading, practicing calligraphy, or sharing his stories with young people when invited. "I am always a piece of building block," Wang is often quoted as saying, "I will do whatever I can wherever I'm needed."
