After the founding ceremony of the country, Mao Zedong began to pay attention to the situation of the imprisoned Kuomintang war criminals amidst his busy schedule. Based on various opinions, Mao Zedong determined the overall policy towards war criminals: no trials, no judgments, no executions, humane treatment, organizing political education and participation in labor reformation, and proposing handling methods at an appropriate time when the situation matures. In the specific organization of the Ministry of Public Security, management offices for war criminals were established in various regions, with the Beijing Gongdelin Management Office being the largest. The Kuomintang war criminals originally detained in North China and other places gradually concentrated in the Gongdelin Management Office. Wang Yingguang was ordered to report to the Ministry of Public Security, where he met many "old acquaintances." There were upright Kuomintang generals like General Chen Ruizhang, who was straightforward, and the suspicious and changeable Lieutenant General Liu Anguo, head of the North China Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense; there were also troublemakers seeking a quick death like Major General Ye Lisan, and paranoid Lieutenant General Cai Shouyuan, commander of a corps. These former senior Kuomintang generals were worried about being tried and were obsessed with "Chiang Kai-shek's counter-offensive to the mainland," displaying various states of mind. Some, filled with thoughts of “loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness,” resorted to suicide, fasting, or waiting for the right moment to escape; some were in tears, worrying about retaliation from the other side and displaying disgraceful behavior; others started to ingratiate themselves with the People's Liberation Army as soon as they were captured, eager to achieve merit; and some participated in subversion work and battlefield intelligence consulting. Wang Yingguang engaged in a battle of wits and courage with this group of war criminals, ultimately helping them recognize the Communist Party's earnest intentions to reform war criminals, thus stabilizing the morale of the management office. In the end, this group of war criminals, under the guidance of Wang Yingguang and other Gongdelin personnel, actively learned the principles of Marxism-Leninism, compared their behaviors with Mao Zedong Thought, and engaged earnestly in every aspect of their reformation through learning. In 1959, the first group of war criminals was granted amnesty, and at the same time, Wang Yingguang completed his mission and found love with the medical staff Liang Dongfang from Gongdelin. The amnestied individuals returned to society, having been defeated by the Communist Party on the battlefield in 1949 and completely subdued by the Communist Party in spirit by 1959.
