In 1883, the Wang family in Shaoxing gave birth to a baby boy. The family named Wang Zhaoming. When he was young, Wang Zhaoming was intelligent and lively, he was familiar with books and was good at ancient Chinese. The literary style prevails in Shaoxing. Under the influence of his clan, he also embarked on the road of obtaining meritorious names. However, with the development of the foreign affairs movement, he was gradually affected. In 1903, he went to Japan to study. There, he became acquainted with the League and others.
The Youth Revolution
Since then, Wang Zhaoming has embarked on the revolutionary road. In order to reflect the ambition, he changed his name to Jingwei. In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Jingwei Bird Stone reclamation, Zhicheng is touching. Inspired by this, he also took a revolutionary step. At Shobun University in Japan, he became the most radical student. This year, he was appreciated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. In 1905, Wang Jingwei and the others drafted the statutes of the League. They are young and vigorous and denounce democracy. Overseas, they became Mr. Sun's right and left arm.
In 1906, he came to Guangdong. Here, he was employed by the Qing government as a Japanese translator. With a salary, his revolutionary work became smoother. Secretly, he continued to finance revolutionaries and co-opted many important people. A year later, he followed Sun Yat-sen to Nanyang. There, he became the chief writer of nanyang daily. Relying on his extraordinary talent, Wang Jingwei refuted the enemy.
In overseas Chinese circles, royalism and democracy are two opposing currents of thought. Calling for a republic and propagating the Three People's Principles are all early credits of Wang Jingwei. His achievements are obvious to all, and Sun Yat-sen is also very appreciative. In this way, he became the main leader of the League. In the future, he also naturally became a Kuomintang elder. In 1909, Wang Jingwei returned to China. After intercepting Su Qinwang's trip, he decided to carry out the assassination.
In January of the following year, with the long-cherished wish of "leading the knife into a fast and living up to the head of the youth", he broke into the Wang Mansion alone. Unfortunately, Su Qinwang was meeting guests. His assassination failed, revealing his identity. The next day, Wang Jingwei was arrested. In prison, he was treated with courtesy. Faced with a sugar-coated shell, he was actually moved. After the Xinhai Revolution, Wang Jingwei was released. However, his thinking changed.
After the success of the revolution, he took Chen Bijun and went to France to study. At home, beiyang forces are getting stronger and stronger. Yuan Shikai openly acted perversely, and 40,000 compatriots were in the depths of the water. In Guangzhou, Dr. Sun Yat-sen called for a second revolution. Soon, the Kuomintang was formed. Wang Jingwei was urgently summoned back. He also became an important member of the revolution. During the Northern Expedition, Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek were full of contradictions.
Middle-aged rebellion
In 1927, the elder Chiang Kai-shek was arrogant, and he established a national government in Nanjing. In the same year, Wang Jingwei established a separate imperial court in Wuhan. Soon after, under the mediation of the Kuomintang elders, the two reconciled. Wang Jingwei also joined Lao Jiang' command. At that time, the two reached a tacit understanding. Together, they slaughtered the world and divided the powers. Against their opponents, they launch strikes and relentlessly suppress them. Seeing this, the patriot Wang Yaqiao organized an assassination campaign.
In 1931, old Jiang was stabbed in Lushan, and he luckily escaped the disaster. The following year, Chen Cheng was seriously injured by the explosion. Since then, everyone at the top of the Kuomintang has put themselves at risk. Wang Jingwei had a premonition that every time he attended an event, he had to take strict precautions. Who knows, he was still attacked. In 1935, the Nationalist government held a press conference, and Wang Jingwei attended the event. Wang Yaqiao's men pretended to be reporters, and Wang Jingwei was shot in the back.
He was taken to the hospital, but his condition deteriorated several times. After using foreign drugs, Wang Jingwei stabilized. In December 1937, the city of Nanjing was destroyed. Wang Jingwei took advantage of the situation and defected to the Japanese. In this way, he became a big traitor. Defecting to the Japanese, Wang Jingwei served as the chairman of the puppet government. Since then, he has rarely appeared in the public eye. Some people around him revealed that Wang Jingwei's condition has never healed.
Since then, Wang Jingwei has played the role of a sino-Japanese goodwill messenger many times. His series of claims and actions are abhorrent. In 1944, Wang Jingwei's back injury recurred. He was in excruciating pain and was finally admitted to the hospital. Domestic conditions were backward, and Wang Jingwei was taken to Tokyo by the Japanese. At the Imperial University Hospital, he was treated by the Japanese. The Japanese side invited the best doctor, but Wang Jingwei still failed to get better.
The cemetery was bombed
Ten years ago, the Assassin Sun Fengming shot a bullet into Wang Jingwei's back. The damaged nerves had long since festered, and Wang Jingwei was in pain. He died of illness in Tokyo on November 10, 1944. The news spread back to China, and Chen Bijun and Zhou Fohairen set up a funeral committee. According to Wang Jingwei's last wishes, he was buried in the foothills of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing. It is not far from the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Chen Bijun planned 500 acres of burial land and allocated 50 million yuan.
With this huge amount of money, the puppet government planned Wang Jingwei's cemetery well. To prevent vandalism, five hundred tons of cement were poured on it. In addition, there are steel bars mixed in. It can be said that Wang Jingwei's cemetery is rock solid. In September 1945, the Nationalist government returned to Nanjing. Old Jiang gave instructions to immediately blow up the Wang Jingwei cemetery. Under the personal command of he Yingqin, a battalion of engineers was dispatched.
Using 150 tons of explosives, Wang Jingwei's cemetery was razed to the ground. After that, Wang Jingwei's cemetery was opened. Some witnesses still remember that Wang Jingwei wore a robe and a horse coat and a top hat. His face was lifelike, apparently embalmed. In Wang Jingwei's pocket, the soldiers found a book of poems. In addition, there are no other funerary items. In his chest pocket, the soldier found a note. It was written the words "The Soul Returns".
Obviously, this is Chen Bijun's expectation of her husband. However, they were not forgiven by the people. After the founding of New China, the Wang Jingwei cemetery was replanned. A plum blossom garden was built there. As for the Wangs, they were set up with kneeling statues. Under the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the couple could not kneel. They are ashamed of the people and ashamed of their children and grandchildren.
epilogue
Wang Jingwei was originally a patriotic youth. Unfortunately, in the course of the long revolution, he gradually lost his faith. Faced with a cruel enemy, he felt fear. For the sake of personal glory and wealth, he even betrayed the motherland. Wang Jingwei is a sinner of history, and he will never be forgiven by the people.
At the beginning of the new century, Wang Wennian, the son of Wang Jingwei, came to visit the mainland. After visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, he stumbled upon the kneeling statues of his parents. Seeing his parents like this, his eyes were moved. In the end, he said, "If you make a mistake, you will be punished." It can be said that as a son of man, he is ashamed and angry with his parents. I hope that the descendants of the Wang family can reflect well and never repeat the mistakes of their ancestors.
