1944 was the last year of Wang Jingwei’s life. At that time, the outcome of the Chinese battlefield was clearly revealed. The situation of the Japanese side in China gradually came to an end. At this time, Wang Jingwei, who was seriously ill and had a short life, looked back. It might only be ridiculous to start my life.
Juvenile seeking fame
Wang Jingwei was born in a traditional scholarly family. His grandfather had been in Juren, but his father’s generation failed to embark on the road of studying and becoming an official. Wang Jingwei's life was not very superior since he was a child. His father ran business all the year round to support his family. Since childhood, Wang Jingwei followed the family tradition of upholding learning and respecting officials, studied hard, and was admitted as a scholar at the age of 19. However, the difficult livelihood and the rigorous life had a huge impact on the development of the young Wang Jingwei’s character. Coupled with the experience of his parents passing away at the age of thirteen or four, and then admiring his brother and sister, Wang Jingwei gradually developed an inferiority complex and cowardice. Indecisive character.
After becoming a young talent, Wang Jingwei got the opportunity to study in Japan at public expense. During his study in Japan, Wang Jingwei came into contact with Sun Yat-sen and his new social and national ideas. These new ideas ignited his long-term depression like a torch. Inferiority in the heart. Inspired by Wang Jingwei, with great republican ambition and passion, he devoted himself to the revolution without hesitation. After graduating in 1906, he refused to return to work for the Qing government, followed Sun Yat-sen to join the Tongmenghui, and actively carried out revolutionary activities. In 1910, in order to further promote the development of the revolutionary cause, Wang Jingwei and others secretly planned to assassinate the Emperor Zaifeng, the regent who controlled the Qing Dynasty at the time, in Beijing. However, the assassination failed and Wang Jingwei was arrested and imprisoned, facing murder. Wang Jingwei, who was in prison, calmly dealt with it, and he also left the rhetoric of "getting the sword to make a quick success and not losing his youth". As an early follower of Sun Yat-sen, Wang Jingwei's position in the League and the Kuomintang afterwards was very important, and he was even designated by Sun Yat-sen as the ghostwriter of his last words. After Sun Yat-sen and Liao Zhongkai died one after another and Hu Hanmin was forced to resign, Wang Jingwei became the top candidate for power in the KMT. However, at this time Chiang Kai-shek, as a new star in the Kuomintang, his prestige was also developing. As a veteran of the Tongmenghui, Wang Jingwei has always declared that he will inherit the will of Sun Yat-sen and carry the revolution to the end. In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's surpassing, Wang Jingwei was obviously dissatisfied with this. The two sides fought openly and secretly, and fought fiercely for power within the Kuomintang. Originally, Wang Jingwei had a comparative advantage, but in the end he gradually lost the battle for power. The most typical case of
is the Zhongshan Ship incident in 1926. Facing Chiang Kai-shek’s conspiracy, Wang Jingwei was very dissatisfied, but he was just blindly sentimental and left angrily without taking effective countermeasures. His impulsive way of doing things gave Chiang Kai-shek. A smooth rise to the post provides an opportunity. His best friend Chen Gongbo said that he once said: Mr. Wang will go out if he gets into trouble, stay if he gets along, and go if he doesn't agree. For an ordinary person, if they are only willing to work together because of "co-production", and they are a little too arrogant, let alone important leaders? It can be seen that Wang Jingwei has the arrogance of a traditional literati in his bones, but this has also become his shortcoming-lacking the spirit of taking the overall situation into account. It is precisely because of Wang Jingwei's self-motivated and disregarded character that he gradually fell into a disadvantaged position in the struggle, and eventually missed the position of top leader.
After the September 18th Incident, Wang Jingwei still actively advocated resistance to Japan, but after the Battle of Songhu, Wang Jingwei's attitude towards Japan began to change. After the fall of Nanjing, Wang Jingwei advised Chiang Kai-shek more than once to negotiate with the Japanese for a peaceful settlement. However, Chiang Kai-shek was not moved by Wang. He believed that Japan's thief's heart is not dying, and the heart is not dying. Only by persisting in resistance will it not perish the country and the species. In this regard, Chen Lifu pointed out sharply that (Wang Jingwei) what he pursues is perseverance, and it is difficult for a scholar like him to make a big deal. After the power struggle within the Kuomintang lost its momentum, Wang Jingwei remained depressed, and he began to think of the Japanese. He believed that the Japanese could help him establish the Nanjing government, and that the Japanese would withdraw from China when things succeed.
Wang Jingwei can be said to have been dazzled by the desire for power at this time. He even naively thought that he could use the Japanese forces in China to realize his wishes. But the facts are obviously not what he thoughtIt's that simple. From the moment he chose to move closer to Japan, he was completely reduced to an accomplice of Japanese fascists, standing on the opposite side of the Chinese people and becoming a hated traitor.
When Mr. Sun Yat-sen was alive, Wang Jingweidan was an upright gentleman in terms of his usual personal qualities. As a high-level leader of the KMT, he was a staunch revolutionary who didn't touch cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, or sex. However, one thought becomes a devil, and one thought becomes a Buddha. Wang Jingwei's erroneous decision in his later period properly ruined his fame for the first half of his life.
Some people say that Wang Jingwei did not realize the nature of Japan’s invasion of China and thought that the Japanese would end up in a good way, so he made a compromise and voted to Japan in an attempt to influence the Japanese military’s policy towards China. Therefore, Wang Jingwei was said to be trying to save the country through imperfections. typical. This statement is entirely a defense for Wang Jingwei's personal weakness and shamelessness. In times of national crisis, he still had cowardly and short-sighted views, despised the resistance, determination, and will of the Chinese people. Not only did he not insist on resisting Japan, he also served as a tiger. Isn't this treasoning for glory?
Wang Jingwei’s life is really ridiculous. As for Wang Jingwei's death, he had a premonition of what Japan was going to think of after the defeat. In his poem "Self-deprecating" you can learn: "The heart will be destroyed and everything will rest, and the world will be everywhere. Resent you. Even if the ancestors taste the heat and the cold, forgive no future generations to continue the spring and autumn", the sadness revealed in the poem is beyond words, presumably he also looked back at the past, thinking that he had also done the revolution with passion for the nation. He sacrificed his life to seek independence, but he knew clearly that after his death, he would not be left in history in future generations. There is no regret in the poem. It is just full of regret and despair. I just don’t know whether Wang Jingwei, who was in Japan and was tortured by illness and pain, can still remember the determination that he must die in Beijing prison. Wang Zhaoming, a heroic man who sees death as his home?
