When it comes to the big traitors under Wang Jingwei, the first thing that people think of is Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai, and many people may not have any impression of Chu Minyi, but he is one of the core figures of the Wang puppet government, who helped Wang Jingwei do a lot of bad things, and Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai are called the three big traitors of the Wang puppet. Born in 1884 in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, Chu Minyi traveled east to Japan to study in his early years and earned a doctorate in medicine and science, and soon after he joined the League and became a Kuomintang elder.
After returning from Japan, under the introduction of Huang Xing, Chu Minyi became acquainted with Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun, and married Chen Shunzhen, Chen Bijun's righteous sister, and became Wang Jingwei's brother-in-law. After that, Chu Minyi became wang jingwei's hardcore and began to follow wang jingwei with a dead heart. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jingwei first spread pessimistic remarks, and then decided to defect to Japan as a traitor, and Chu Minyi actively advised him and secretly contacted the Japanese. After the establishment of the Wang puppet government, Chu Minyi became vice president of the Executive Yuan and "foreign minister", and was willing to give the Japanese a dog's leg.
In addition to "official duties", Chu Minyi is also very interested in traditional Chinese martial arts, and has studied with many famous tai chi masters, and a set of tai chi plays are similar. Later, Chu Minyi simply presented himself as a "tai chi master" and performed his kung fu in front of the Japanese many times. The Japanese are a layman in Chinese martial arts, only know how to watch the hilarity, see him play like a model, have clapped their hands and applauded, Chu Minyi saw that his kung fu was actually recognized by the Japanese, more self-satisfied.
After Japan surrendered, Chu Minyi was trapped by the military commander and subsequently taken to Nanjing for trial. In court, Chu Minyi touted Wang Jingwei, saying: "When the country is in trouble and the war is in decline," "Fortunately, Mr. Wang and his people, regardless of their own safety, embraced the ambition that our people would not go to hell and who would go to hell, and according to the declaration of our party's 27-year Provisional Congress in Hankou, in response to the Konoe statement, they sent a brilliant telegram, first resumed the party, and then formed the government." This is really a "benevolent gentleman." The purpose of covering up Wang Jingwei's crime of treason and surrendering to the enemy is still to exonerate himself for the crime of treason.
At the same time, he also boasted of his historical "merits," particularly emphasizing all kinds of deeds that were "conducive to the War of Resistance" during his tenure as a puppet post, flaunting that he was "worthy of the party-state and social and cultural contributions," and not only recovered many cultural relics from the Hands of the Japanese, but also presided over the "repossession of the concessions." He said: "When I was foreign minister, because I had nothing to do, I came out to argue with him about the Japanese occupying our private houses or other things that were not conducive to the people. Because of my age and high prestige, the Japanese also let me out or corrected the matters I negotiated, which can also be said to be a way for me to resist Japan..."
But history is fair, and no matter how cunning Chu Minyi is, he cannot hide the crimes he committed during his defection to the enemy, and in the end, the fourth person in the Wang puppet regime was sentenced to death. But during the execution, Chu Minyi made another incident: the gendarmes who shot from behind fired a total of five bullets at him, but Chu Minyi stood still and even looked back at the gendarmes. The people on the spot were frightened, thinking that he had the body of King Kong. Fortunately, Chu Minyi did not make any more moths after this, and fell straight to the ground, ending his sinful life.
