In November 1944, on the streets of Nanjing, a huge funeral of Wang Jingwei was underway, and we can see from the footage that a huge posthumous photo of him was hung on a hearse, surrounded by many black and white ribbons.
The streets lined the streets, some wearing white flowers on their chests and bowing their heads in silence. The scale of the funeral may seem very grand, but those who know the facts know that it is a complete illusion. Because as a generation of traitorous traitors, Wang Jingwei's despicable behavior has always been spurned. His treason and defection to the enemy seriously harmed the interests of the state and the nation and also violated the fundamental will of the Chinese people. Therefore, many people hate him to the core, and even want to "eat his flesh raw".
Although this funeral seems grand on the surface, it is actually a symbol of hypocrisy and deception, and it turned out that on November 10, 1944, when the news of Wang Jingwei's death in Japan due to illness reached China, the common people could be said to be very happy.
We all know that at the time of Wang Jingwei's death, the Japanese army was already at the end of the road, just like grasshoppers after the autumn, they couldn't jump for a few days, in order to maintain their last "decency", the two big traitors Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai discussed and decided to raise the specifications of Wang Jingwei's funeral. However, they were worried that no one would come to the funeral and that the scene would be very embarrassing. So, in order to make sure that enough people attended the funeral, they took a very "smart" approach.
They decided to stop all work and study Xi on the day of the funeral, and give the citizens a day off, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, all those who participated in the funeral, everyone also had a tip, after the news came out, it aroused great concern of the people at the bottom, because the people living in the occupied areas lived in poverty, and their lives were extremely difficult. Therefore, when they heard that they could receive a 20 yuan China Reserve Certificate, they enthusiastically signed up for it.
For these poor people, this amount of money is a lot of money. You know, at that time, this money was almost equivalent to three-quarters of a worker's monthly income. So, on the day of the funeral, people poured into the streets and stood next to the street to mourn. Unlike the usual solemn funerals, the people who saw off the funeral this time were jubilant and laughing.
For them, the death of the hateful traitor Wang Jingwei is a thing to be happy about. Moreover, how can such a good deed not make people happy, and so the funeral becomes a peculiar scene, with a mournful funeral procession on one side and a jubilant crowd on the other.
Wang Jingwei was soon buried on the top of Meihua Mountain on the outskirts of Nanjing, and in order to prevent human damage to the tomb, the builders used a full 5 tons of concrete to strengthen the tomb. However, he may not have dreamed that his grave would be opened just 10 months after his burial.
His body, along with the coffin, was cremated in a blaze that seemed to be the most direct indictment of his life's crimes. The corpse was turned to ashes in the flames, and all the sins, conspiracies and ambitions were turned to ashes in the raging flames, and a generation of great traitors finally paid the due price.
