In 1903, the 20-year-old Wang Jingwei was instructed by the Qing court to study in Japan.
During his study in Japan, Wang Jingwei's ideas collided fiercely, and the Qing government did not expect that its own measures would cultivate a sinner in the future.
The period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a period of great upheaval, with factions engaged in what they considered great due to their different political views.
Due to Wang Jingwei's compromise, he successively "cooperated" with Mr. Sun and Japan, but eventually ended up infamous.
More than 60 years after his death, a white-haired old man once went to the Qi Jiguang Memorial Hall to pay his respects, and when he faced the statue of Wang Jingwei and his wife in the corner, he bowed three times and said: "If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
Why would he bow to the statue of Wang Jingwei? Why would you say such a thing?
The old man who cried bitterly in front of the kneeling statue of Wang Jingwei and his wife was named Wang Wenti, and he was one of Wang Jingwei's sons.
After the founding of New China, Wang Wenti has been living in Hong Kong. This time, in addition to paying homage to the heroic martyrs, he also specially worshipped his parents.
Wang Jingwei's actions in history have always been deeply despised by people.
Wang Wenti's evaluation of this point so far is the final atonement for what his parents have done. Then, how did Wang Jingwei, who was a late Qing Dynasty talent, gradually become a big traitor spurned by the people?
In 1883, Wang Jingwei was born into a family of scholars, and his family was also very well-off. Wang Jingwei's grandfather was a Qing Dynasty official, and his father was also a talent, and the family culture atmosphere was very strong.
However, when Wang Jingwei was 14 years old, the family suffered great changes, and his parents died one after another, so he had to live with his half-brother Wang Zhaoyong. In order to have a place in feudal society, Wang Jingwei believed that if he wanted to get ahead, he had to take the meritorious name.
In 1902, at the age of 19, Wang Jingwei took the exam for Xiucai. The following year, Wang Jingwei was given the opportunity to study in Japan for free, and during his study in Japan, Wang Jingwei saw a different political system from feudal society, which also laid the groundwork for his future revolutionary career.
At the same time, the Qing government, which was across the ocean, did not expect that this move of its own would lay a disaster for the future.
In 1905, Wang Jingwei met Mr. Sun, who was also in Japan, and the two had similar interests, and Wang Jingwei soon became a member of the League.
At this moment, Mr. Sun is in a low period, and due to the failure of one uprising after another, his face is full of disappointment.
After Wang Jingwei joined the League, he not only helped Mr. Sun's revolutionary cause to a certain extent, but also made himself clearly understand that the demise of the Qing government was a matter of time.
During the League, Wang Jingwei published a series of articles denouncing the corruption of the Qing government and vigorously promoting the ideas of the Three People's Principles, which was also appreciated by Mr. Sun.
In 1906, Wang Jingwei returned from studying in Japan, as a person sent out by the Qing government to study, he was supposed to serve the Qing government after returning to China, but Wang Jingwei, who was eager for revolution, was no longer satisfied with the job of stable income, so he resigned from the Japanese translation work arranged by the Qing government.
Not only that, but he also showed himself to be a revolutionary who wanted to follow Mr. Sun and the League in their efforts to overthrow the decadent Qing Dynasty.
In 1908, Puyi ascended the throne, and because of his young age, he had his father Zaifeng regent. And in the same year, Wang Jingwei met his lifelong partner Chen Bijun. Previously, the League had organized several uprisings to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but all of them ended in failure.
The so-called capture of the thief first captured the king, Wang Jingwei germinated the idea of assassinating Zaifeng. However, he was opposed by Mr. Sun, who believed that the overthrow of the Qing government should not be carried out by people, after all, the risk coefficient was very high.
However, Wang Jingwei had his own opinion, and he resolutely went to assassinate Zaifeng.
In 1909, Wang Jingwei officially began to act. He formed an assassination group with Yu Peilun and Chen Bijun, and in order to hide his eyes and ears, he ran a photo studio in beijing, and after figuring out the trajectory of Zaifeng's movements, they planted explosives in the place where Zaifeng traveled.
However, a coachman found a bomb buried under the bridge, Wang Jingwei's assassination plan was completely foiled, and after the Qing government's search, Wang Jingwei was eventually imprisoned.
However, the Qing government did not immediately execute Wang Jingwei, but held him in prison.
During his imprisonment, the Qing government tortured Wang Jingwei to extract a confession, and did not betray the hiding places of other revolutionaries.
Wang Jingwei, who knew that his fate was not long, made many revolutionary remarks when recording his confession, and this remark also won the approval of an official of the Qing government, so he interceded for Wang Jingwei.
At this time, due to the sharp social contradictions of the Qing government, after the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, the Qing government was forced to release Wang Jingwei out of necessity.
During his study in Japan, Wang Jingwei has been following in the footsteps of Mr. Sun. If he had not met Mr. Sun by chance, Wang Jingwei would not have ignited the flame of revolution.
After being released by the Qing government, Wang Jingwei was faced with a dilemma, when Yuan Shikai had a heavy army in his hands, and if he continued to die, he would not have much success.
In 1912, Wang Jingwei made peace with Yuan Shikai, and also tried his best to persuade Mr. Sun to abdicate, and only by relying on the strong strength of the Beiyang government could it be possible to control the situation.
After Mr. Sun abdicated, Yuan Shikai did not develop toward Wang Jingwei's ideal trajectory, and Yuan Shikai, who had a great obsession with the position of emperor, was not satisfied in the face of the revolutionary party's step-by-step concessions.
In 1915, Yuan Shikai ascended to the throne. Yuan Shikai's behavior was not only not subservient to the people, but also attacked by society. In just 83 days, Yuan Shikai fell from the throne.
The powerful Yuan Shikai and Wang Jingwei never expected that there would be so many people against him. In fact, in the final analysis, it is because people hate feudal rule, which is also the people's desire.
In 1917, Wang Jingwei once again followed in the footsteps of Mr. Sun to participate in the revolution, and organized the War of Protection of the French in the same year. In 1919, Wang Jingwei was once again praised by Mr. Sun for his outstanding remarks, and he became the second in command of the Kuomintang.
Later, Mr. Sun decided to expand the revolutionary ranks, resolutely and resolutely wanted to reorganize the Kuomintang, and hoped to carry forward the revolutionary cause through the three major policies of uniting with Russia, the United Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers, but Wang Jingwei vigorously rejected the Communist Party from joining.
In 1924, the Kuomintang held its first people's congress, and Wang Jingwei became Mr. Sun's right hand and left arm. At that time, Mr. Sun was invited by Zhang Zuolin and Feng Yuxiang to Beijing to discuss state affairs, including Wang Jingwei.
Without Mr. Sun's appreciation and trust, Wang Jingwei would not have been able to achieve the position of second in command of the Kuomintang. However, at this time, Mr. Sun was overworked and overworked by the revolutionary cause, and finally died on March 12, 1925.
After Mr. Sun's death, the Kuomintang was leaderless and had an immediate plan to elect a new leader.
There are two people who can become the new leaders of the Kuomintang, one is Wang Jingwei, who mr. Sun has supported all the way, and the other is Mr. Sun's brother-in-law Chiang Kai-shek.
They were both deeply trusted and appreciated by Mr. Sun, and in the hands of the old Chiang Kai-shek, they also held the military power of the Kuomintang, so both of them were qualified to be heirs.
In July 1925, the Nationalist government was formally established, wang Jingwei became the new leader of the Kuomintang, as an old Chiang kai-shek who held military power was naturally dissatisfied with his subordinate position to Wang Jingwei, and the two fought openly and secretly.
Under the persecution of Lao Jiang, Wang Jingwei had to go to France. As two important figures of the Kuomintang, if the two join forces, the revolutionary cause may be even stronger, but this is not the case.
In 1927, Wang Jingwei became chairman of the Nationalist government and led the Northern Expedition to occupy Wuhan. In fact, after lao Chiang kai-shek occupied Shanghai, he launched the horrific 412 massacre, and the Kuomintang at this time was divided into two factions, which was also known in history as the "Ninghan diversion".
In 1928, in cooperation with Zhang Xueliang, the Nanjing government officially became the government of the Republic of China, and Wang Jingwei's strength at this time was far inferior to that of the old Chiang Kai-shek.
But Wang Jingwei, who was keen on power, was not willing to live after lao Chiang, and in May 1931, Wang Jingwei set up another portal and resolutely refused to recognize the nationalist government led by lao Chiang.
On September 18 of the same year, the Japanese created the September 18 Incident in northeast China, and in the face of foreign invasion, the two major Nationalist governments united the front and jointly expelled the Japanese invaders.
Later, Wang Jingwei gradually realized that the disparity in strength between himself and Lao Jiang was very large, and Lao Jiang was not only financially superior to him, but also completely crushed him in military terms, while Wang Jingwei only had someone to support him when Mr. Sun was alive, and now Wang Jingwei was isolated and helpless.
In order to find another way out, he chose to collude with the Japanese.
Because of the japanese invaders' sophisticated army and advanced military weapons, Wang Jingwei was overwhelmed by the invaders.
In 1935, Wang Jingwei officially defected to the Japanese, and in November of the same year, he was assassinated by Wang Yaqiao, as a righteous soldier, Wang Yaqiao naturally did not tolerate Wang Jingwei, a traitor, and sent Sun Fengming to shoot Wang Jingwei's spine, but Wang Jingwei was not killed.
In 1937, the July 7 Incident broke out on the land of China, and the Japanese invaders invaded China in an all-round way, leaving tens of thousands of Chinese devastated by more than ten years of war. Soon, the Japanese occupied the northern part of China. In order to occupy north China well, it was necessary to support a puppet government in China, and Wang Jingwei became their first choice.
At this time, Wang Jingwei openly surrendered to Japan and established a wang puppet government in Nanjing.
In order to become the leader of the Nanjing government, Wang Jingwei recruited puppet troops on a large scale, but how could the sinister and cunning Japanese give power to Wang Jingwei?
With the passage of time, Wang Jingwei gradually found himself a puppet, but he was in a dilemma, so he had to grit his teeth and insist.
In 1941, the Pacific War broke out, as a puppet Wang Jingwei was asked by the Japanese government to declare war on Britain and the United States, although Wang Jingwei tried his best not to comply, but the Japanese were far more powerful than him, and finally declared war on Britain and the United States in 1943.
In order to create momentum for the Japanese army, Wang Jingwei vigorously publicized that the Japanese would lead the Chinese people to prosperity and strength. In the few years since the establishment of the Wang puppet government, Wang Jingwei has become a lackey.
Because he had previously been assassinated by Wang Yaqiao, and the bullet was still stuck in Wang Jingwei's body, in 1944, Wang Jingwei was swollen in bone marrow due to the spread of lead poison, and eventually died in Japan.
Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun had six children under their knees, and Wang Wenti was his second son. From the early hot-blooded youth to the shameless traitors in the later period, Wang Jingwei's life can be described as difficult to describe. As his descendants, he can only bear the consequences of what he does.
