Wang Jin-pyng (Chinese: 王金平; pinyin: Wáng Jīnpíng; born March 17, 1941), is a Taiwanese politician. He served as President of the Legislative Yuan from 1999 to 2016, which makes him Taiwan's longest-serving legislative speaker. Once a leading figure of the Kuomintang (KMT), Wang is considered to be soft-spoken and a conciliatory figure who has often brokered deals between the KMT and opposition DPP. He was replaced by Democratic Progressive Party's Su Jia-chyuan as President of the Legislative Yuan after a decisive victory for the DPP in the 2016 election.
Wang was born in a simple rural community in Rochiku Village, Takao Prefecture, Taiwan, Empire of Japan (modern-day Lujhu, Kaohsiung). Living in villagers life, Wang gained positive mental and physical condition. Wang excelled in sports during his school years. His teachers encouraged him to enter the physical education department in university.
Wang finished his elementary school in Tainan Municipal Dashe Elementary School. He finished his junior and senior high school from the Tainan First Senior High School in Tainan. In this school, Wang had always become the team leader of the school's tennis team.
He finally graduated from the Teacher's College of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics in 1965.
Wang said that he never put extra efforts in academic studies since childhood and he doesn't believe in renowned star schools. However, his grades have always been good and his education went smoothly throughout his school years.
