On December 11, 1949, Sichuan clique warlords Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui surrendered Chengdu to the advancing People's Liberation Army, resulting in Wang's arrest by the forces of the Chinese Communist Party. Wang was imprisoned by the authorities of the People's Republic of China until December 1964.
