Decades after the founding of New China, an old man once came to the world's first Meishan Scenic Area, which is located in the south of Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area, because of a variety of plum blossoms, so it has won the name of the world's first Meishan, and because it is close to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, so every year when the plum blossoms bloom, here is the crowd, shoulder to shoulder.

Only to see this old man slowly walk to the front of Guan Meixuan, and after stopping for a long time, Bi respectfully bowed three times. This move aroused the curiosity of the surrounding tourists, they went up to talk with the old man, only to learn that the identity of the person in front of them is not simple, it turned out that he was actually wang Wenti, the younger son of the traitor Wang Jingwei, who came to worship his father this time, and this Guan Mei Xuan is the place where his father rests. But this is obviously a scenic spot, why did it become the tomb of Wang Jingwei? What is the rumor that Chiang Kai-shek once blew up the tomb and found amazing notes?

Speaking of why Wang Jingwei was buried near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, it also began with the cause of Wang Jingwei's death. On January 1, 1935, the Dingjiaqiao Central Party Hall in Nanjing was preparing to hold the Sixth Plenary Session of the Fourth Central Committee of the Kuomintang. Before the meeting began, the people present were to take group photos according to the usual practice, all for the propaganda work of the party department, and many journalists and media also kept group photos of these politicians.
Perhaps it was that the staff responsible for informing the meeting at that time were ineffective, and it was supposed that at eight o'clock these participants should be dressed in uniform and start taking pictures, but no one arrived until more than eight o'clock, and these Kuomintang generals who came to the meeting were not uniform costumes, but had their own different clothes, which made Chiang Kai-shek, who has always loved face, sulk, and when everyone arrived at nine o'clock, he was unwilling to come out to take pictures. At this time, Wang Jingwei stood up and prepared to invite Chiang Kai-shek, but he was rejected on the grounds that "today's order is chaotic, I am afraid that something big will happen", and Chiang Kai-shek also made a full set of dramas to tell Wang Jingwei to let him not take pictures.
Chiang Kai-shek
But where would Wang Jingwei listen to Chiang Kai-shek? So he instead went to participate in this group photo without Chiang Kai-shek with ease and happiness, and when the group photo was over and everyone was ready to leave the table, suddenly a person rushed out of the press bench while shouting "Down with the traitor", and raised his pistol according to the crowd that had not yet reacted, Wang Jingwei bore the brunt of it, and after three shots of "snapping", Wang Jingwei fell in a pool of blood, his left cheek, left arm, and back were all hit, and this fatal shot hit him in the back of the spine.

Because it was a public assassination operation, the patriotic soldier Sun Fengming was captured by the escort on the spot, and after interrogation, Sun Fengming's identity and assassination target were ascertained. It turned out that Sun Fengming, as a member of the hoeing operation, had been using his identity as a reporter for the Chenguang News Agency as a cover, and the target of his assassination this time was not actually Wang Jingwei, and the poor traitor was just Chiang Kai-shek's substitute ghost. Perhaps Chiang Kai-shek's life should not be extinguished, but an emotion saved his life, leaving the C position of the original group photo to Wang Jingwei, and the C position of the assassination was also left to him.

After the incident, Wang Jingwei was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment, but the bullet hit too accurately and too sharply, and even if the doctor wanted to make this traitor recover, there was no way but to remove the other two bullets, and the bullets in the spine could only be left to fend for themselves. On the other hand, Sun Fengming also died heroically after being arrested, although he could not live for one life, but this patriot sacrificed himself but could leave a fatal bullet for this traitor. In 1987, the organization posthumously recognized Sun Fengming as a patriot, and a monument was erected for him in his hometown.

Since the gunshot wound, the doctor who gave Wang Jingwei the main knife at that time asserted that he would not live for more than ten years, and sure enough, as the doctor expected, in August 1943, Wang Jingwei could not bear the torture of the old injury and went to the hospital for medical examination, and found that the wound left by the bullet had infected the bone marrow and could not be treated at all. What was even more unfortunate was that soon after, Wang Jingwei accidentally rolled down the stairs and fell back to the wounds of that year again, and after passing out, he was rushed to the Japanese Army Hospital in Nanjing. Although the Japanese removed the bullet from his spine, the wound for many years had long since deteriorated into multiple myeloma, which was a cancer, and it was probably a miracle that he could survive.
Wang Jingwei gave a speech
After learning of this news, a cadre of the Wang puppet government asked the Japanese for help, hoping to cure their leader, and at that time, Wang Jingwei was basically paralyzed, and the Japanese government saw that Wang Jingwei, who had been supported by one hand, was about to fall, and did not want to invest so much money to fight in the water, so on March 3, 1944, they took Wang Jingwei back to Japan to continue treatment. After arriving in Nagoya, Wang Jingwei was immediately sent to the famous local Imperial University Affiliated Hospital, where news had been received in advance, and a special medical team had been set up for him urgently, and the members were all the elites in the field of bone marrow in Japan, who were on standby 24 hours a day to start treatment for Wang Jingwei.
Wang Jingwei participated in Japanese military activities
At that time, Japan's medical conditions were indeed a hundred times stronger than the domestic, the next day they did bone marrow surgery on Wang Jingwei, and the postoperative effect seemed to be very good, within a few days Wang Jingwei's legs had consciousness, but unfortunately he had reached the limit, and the condition worsened before he recovered. At this time, Wang Jingwei also knew that his time was short, so he immediately sent someone to summon zhou Fohai, a thousand-faced man, to Japan, ready to let him deal with his own affairs. On August 10, Wang Jingwei, his wife Chen Bijun, and Zhou Fohai, including Wang Dictated, compiled a suicide note entitled "The Last Mood", which was more than 5,000 words, beautifying his past treason and surrendering to the enemy.
Wang Jingwei funeral
At the time of his death, his Nagoya had begun to withstand the bombardment of the US army, when it was already winter, in order to avoid the bombing, the hospital team transferred Wang Jingwei from the ground to the underground, but the conditions in the basement were very poor, dark and damp, not to mention that there was no heating equipment, and he could only wait for the arrival of the god of death while lying on the bed. In the end, Wang Jingwei had a high fever and was on the verge of exhaustion of various functions of his body, and finally died at 4 p.m. on November 10.
The three daughters were escorted throughout the whole process, which lasted for half a month only for the standard of state burial
After his death, Zhou Fohai brought Wang Jingwei's body back to Nanjing for burial according to his request. At that time, the Japanese also attached great importance to this pro-Japanese puppet of the Wang puppet government, not only equipped him with a coffin made of fine gold silk and nan wood, but also decorated him with a chrysanthemum medal, and even sent 4 planes to accompany him when he came out of the funeral, which can be said to give face to the extreme.
More than half of the Japanese at the funeral site turned out to be a gathering place for Class A war criminals
Either that the traitor was always a traitor, and even after his death, his style of behavior did not change, and on the surface he asked the Wang puppet government to make everything simple for his funeral, but in fact, in order to hold a grand funeral for him, a pompous cemetery, these dog-legged people spent a huge amount of nearly fifty million yuan to do something useless.
Tomb of Wang Jingwei
Wang Jingjian had visited the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum before and said that he hoped to be buried in Meihua Mountain next to Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum after his death, so everyone followed his will and buried his body here. At that time, in order not to let Wang Jingwei's tomb be stolen, Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun also specially used 5 tons of broken steel to melt into concrete to firmly protect her husband's tomb. The grave was incomparably strong, but Chen Bijun probably could not imagine that even if she had done enough work on her husband's tomb, Wang Jingwei still could not escape the fate of being frustrated and ashes after death, and it was Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Kuomintang, who created all this.
Later, the War of Resistance Against Japan was victorious, and the Nationalist government was preparing to move back to Nanjing from Chongqing, but after hearing that Wang Jingwei's tomb was near the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Chiang Kai-shek could not sit still. On January 15, 1946, He Yingqin, who was still at home, suddenly received a secret order from Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing to blow up Wang Jingwei's grave. After receiving the order, He Yingqin immediately summoned his subordinate officers and men to discuss how to carry out this task. It was Qiu Weida, then commander of the 74th Army, who was assigned to carry out the main grave bombing work, who was also awakened by telephone in the middle of the night, and when he arrived at the meeting by car, he found that the mayor of Nanjing, the commander of the army headquarters engineers, and the commander of the Nanjing gendarmerie were also called.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, He Yingqin said, "There is a secret mission for you to come here at night today, and I don't want anyone here to know about it." He also glanced at the crowd and then continued: "Chairman Jiang will return to Nanjing from Chongqing in the near future, but Wang Jingwei, the tomb of a traitor, dares to be so close to Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and there is no rule to the extreme, and now we must move the tomb before the chairman of the committee returns. ”
He Yingqin
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads, among which Xiao Yisu added: "The upper limit is for us to deal with this matter within ten days, so if everyone has no opinion, they will start to prepare for each other." When everyone dispersed, it was already the middle of the night, and finally everyone reached an agreement, simply blowing up Wang Jingwei's grave once and for all, and the body was taken to the crematorium to be burned, this matter was carried out by Qiu Weida, assisted by the Nanjing Municipal Government, and Ma Chongliu was responsible for the scene, all the way down, it seems that He Yingqin left himself clean.
Xiao Yisu
However, Chen Bijun had already made Wang Jingwei's tomb a strict and solid one, and Qiu Weida and the others finally used 150 kilograms of explosives to blow up the concrete before they saw the coffin, and when the coffin was opened, everyone could not wait to open the coffin lid, only to see that Wang Jingwei's corpse was covered with a blue sky and white sun flag, and under the flag he was wearing the official clothes of the Wang puppet government, wearing a top hat on his head, and only a few corpse spots on his face were not all rotten. It turned out that Chen Bijun had embalmed her husband after his death, and then Qiu Weida and others began to sort out the burial items in the coffin, and in Wang Jingwei's pocket they found a sudden note with four big words written on it - Return of the Soul. In addition, Wang Jingwei also has a hand-copied poem manuscript next to him, one of which is called "Self-Deprecation", which reads more like a desperate poem he wrote for himself, and complains everywhere.
The crowd excavated the tomb of Wang Jingwei
Subsequently, the crowd sent Wang Jingwei, along with the remaining coffins, to Qingliangshan for cremation, and it is said that after cremation, Wang Jingwei's ashes were still blown away by someone with a blower, and there was really nothing left. At the beginning, he Yingqin said at the secret meeting, there were two reasons for blowing up the grave: First, Wang Jingwei was a traitor and did not deserve to be buried near the capital; second, Wang Jingwei's tomb was juxtaposed with Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum, which was too unusual. But it is good to move the tomb away, why must it be bombed? Therefore, Wang Jingwei's daughter once questioned He Yingqin and said: "If Nanjing cannot be buried, can't it be transported back to Guangdong?" Why do you have to blow up? But in the face of this question, He Yingqin was speechless.

Now Wang Jingwei's tomb site is also left with this View meixuan, a generation of traitors chasing fame and profit before they died, but after death, they did not turn into a bunch of ashes, except for the smell of ten thousand years.
