Wang Jialie (1893-1966), a native of Tongzi, Guizhou Province, was the Kuomintang governor of Guizhou Province and a principal representative of the local forces in Guizhou. He was transferred out of Guizhou in 1935, when troops under Chiang Kai-shek's direct command entered the province. In July 1949 he was offered the post of deputy director of the Kuomintang government's Guizhou Pacification Headquarters, but he did not take up the position. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became a member of the Southwest Military and Administrative Commission and vice-chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
