Who's Wang Baochang? What is the historical prototype?

"The first insurance in the world" is Peng Tianlu, the insurance director of Jinshan Village (known as "Pengjiaying" before liberation) in Shuikou Town, Qionglai City.

In order to find out this historical fact, an investigation team composed of Shuikou Town Government, Jinshan Village Committee and relevant departments of Qionglai City conducted multi-party verification, and confirmed that the prototype of Wang Baochang's "Wang Mazi" story-"the best in the world" was in Qionglai.

In the book Qionglai Literature and History Materials jointly compiled by Qionglai Municipal Committee and CPPCC, the reporter saw such a passage: In the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943), Peng Tianlu, the director of Peng Jiaying's eight-guarantee household, made a fortune by sharing cigarettes with smokers (according to planting area and growers), collecting cigarette mud (tax) and selling opium. At a meeting in Chengdu, Mr. Peng, a Kuomintang teacher, mobilized Peng Tianlu to donate money to buy a plane to fight against Japan. Peng Tianlu made an impromptu speech at the banquet and donated all the ocean worth 200,000 yuan from selling opium to the Kuomintang to buy a plane ... After Chiang Kai-shek was informed, he awarded Peng Tianlu as "the best insurance in the world" and wrote an inscription for the gold plaque "the best insurance in the world". Peng Tianlu held a banquet in Qionglai for three days to celebrate this honor.

Extended data:

Peng Zhongliang said that his father Peng Tianlu was born in 19 15. At that time, he was a big landlord in Pengjiaying mountain area, with thousands of acres of fertile land and 10 mills at home. My father also runs tobacco, rice village and other businesses, and has gathered hundreds of people to organize local armed forces. 194 1 year, my father mobilized local armed forces, cooperated with Ren Heping, then the county magistrate of Qionglai County, set up a security team, and went to Pengjiaying mountain area to fight bandits and won. Ren was overjoyed by the county magistrate, so he appointed Peng Tianlu as the supervisor of eight insurance companies in Pengjiaying.

Peng Zhongliang recalled that his father was awarded "the best insurance in the world" and was awarded a gold plaque. "At that time, this gold plaque with the words' the first insurance in the world' was hung on my door!" Peng Zhongliang said, but after the death of 195 1 his father, this gold plaque, together with other 10 wooden plaques in the family, was pulled to Shuikou Township and burned.
