Later, because of organizing and leading students to participate in the "December 9" patriotic student movement, they were accused by the Kuomintang authorities in Beiping of being a * * * production party and forced to return to China. Later, he carried out anti-Japanese activities in Liaocheng and Zhang.

1937 After the July 7th Incident, bandits and landlords were recruited in Guantao, guanxian and other places according to the instructions of the Special Committee of Northwest Shandong and the Commissioner of the Sixth District of Shandong Province, Fan Zhuxian. 1938, joined the China * * * production party.

Xia Hou, 1940, once served as director of civil affairs departments in Luxi and Hebei, director of Hebei-Shandong-Henan Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee and commander of the Yellow River Flood Control Headquarters.

Since 1946, Wang Huayun has been leading the work of harnessing the Yellow River. From 1946 to 1947, he led the establishment of Hebei-Shandong-Henan Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee and various repair and defense sections. After the Yellow River blocked the Huayuankou and returned to the old road, it implemented the policy of "ensuring that it faces the Yellow River (levee), sticking to the golden levee and not opening its mouth", mobilizing the masses, repairing the levee, abolishing the military system in flood season, establishing the people's system, leading the rescue of famous villages, and safeguarding the safety of the dangerous work area in Hebei, Shandong and Henan.

After 1949, he successively put forward the ideas of river regulation, such as "widening the river course, strengthening dikes", "eliminating pests and promoting benefits, comprehensive utilization", "storing water to stop sand" and "blocking up and discharging down". The leaders abandoned houses, blocked ditches, petrochemical projects, repaired levees, removed hidden dangers of flood control levees, and built temporary flood storage and detention projects to lay the foundation for overcoming the floods in previous years. At the same time, the leader blocked the breach of the Qin River and built a project to divert irrigation from the Yellow River to help health.

From 1950 to 1954, he led the extensive collection of information on topography, geology, hydrology, meteorology, vegetation, soil erosion and social economy, which created conditions for the completion of 1954 technical and economic report on comprehensive utilization planning of the Yellow River.

1955 after the second session of the first national people's congress deliberated and adopted the resolution on controlling flood and waterlogging disasters and developing the comprehensive planning of the Yellow River water conservancy, Comrade Wang Huayun participated in organizing and leading the preparation and construction of Sanmenxia Water Control Project, the largest project of the Yellow River, which accumulated experience for the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects in China and trained a large number of construction talents.

1July, 958, the largest flood occurred in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Under the care of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and under the personal leadership of Premier Zhou Enlai, Comrade Wang Huayun organized and directed the flood fighting. His proposal of relying on dikes and civil air defense to overcome floods instead of using Beijing dikes for flood detention and diversion was approved by Premier Zhou Enlai. Through the joint efforts of the party, government, army and people in Henan and Shandong provinces, the flood was defeated, the dike safety was ensured, and the heavy loss of flood diversion was avoided.

After 1970, he served as deputy director, member of the party group and deputy director of the Yellow River Water Resources Commission. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, he served as a member and deputy minister of the party group of the Ministry of Water Resources, and concurrently served as the director and party secretary of the Yellow River Water Resources Commission.

Comrade Wang Huayun attaches great importance to soil and water conservation. In the early 1950s, he visited the Loess Plateau many times, summed up the experience of mountain management and water control among the masses, personally summarized and established a number of advanced models of soil and water conservation, actively organized and established soil and water conservation institutions, and put forward a set of governance policies, which promoted the development of soil and water conservation.

Comrade Wang Huayun is one of the active advocates of South-to-North Water Transfer Project in China. As early as 1952, when Comrade Mao Zedong inspected the Yellow River, he put forward the proposal of transferring water from south to north. Later, he organized many teams and personally participated in the survey of water transfer lines, which promoted the development of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. During the Cultural Revolution, Comrade Wang Huayun was severely devastated by the Gang of Four, but he believed that the party and the masses still cared about the Yellow River and continued to work hard for the cause of governing the Yellow River. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, he was in charge of the overall management of the Yellow River and did a lot of work to set things right, especially for the early construction of the Xiaolangdi Water Control Project. He worked hard day and night. He presided over the Yellow River for more than 40 years and made great contributions to the development of An Lan and the Yellow River.

After 1970, he put forward a systematic and comprehensive management of the Yellow River: vigorously develop on the loess plateau, focusing on the management of sandy and coarse areas; Several large reservoirs have been built on the main stream: water and sediment regulation; Reinforce dikes and regulate downstream rivers; Harnessing estuaries; Build a flood control engineering system to improve flood discharge and sediment discharge capacity. Wang Huayun has done a lot of work for the floods in the lower Yellow River for more than 40 years.
