Wang Jingwei's life(1/5)
(The following text is to quote other people's works. The reason why it is listed here is that it hopes that readers can have a more comprehensive understanding of this famous historical figure. This passage does not represent the author's viewpoint. Welcome to read.)
There is often a strange phenomenon in China. When it comes to a person's name, it is known to everyone, but when asked about the life and deeds of that person, it is little known. Wang Jingwei is such a special person. Wang Jingwei can be said to be a household traitor in China, but everyone is not aware of Wang Jingwei's "traitoring the country". This is also a major feature of Chinese history education. He only tells everyone that he is a bad person, but does not tell everyone what bad things he has done. Fortunately, Chinese students are relatively simple in their minds and do not like to dig into the bottom line, so history teachers will not encounter too much trouble.
Wang Jingwei is a completely denied person in China, and is even considered a shame to the Chinese. Therefore, in the current Chinese history textbooks, Wang Jingwei was completely erased from the history of the Xinhai Revolution and the Kuomintang. It is only because Wang Jingwei's existence could not be erased from the history of the Anti-Japanese War, so that Wang Jingwei and his reform government were simply mentioned. This practice of arbitrarily modifying history out of subjective desires caused the Chinese to have an error and false understanding of history, which was indeed hindered China's development and progress.
The real Wang Jingwei in history was once a powerful historical figure in modern China, and had a significant impact on the historical trend of China. Today, when history reaches the 21st century, we should consider restoring Wang Jingwei's true identity and re-understanding the real Wang Jingwei in history. There are still many difficulties in writing a relatively real and objective biography for Wang Jingwei. The biggest difficulty is that the information about Wang Jingwei is very lacking. People seem to try their best to avoid such a sensitive person, afraid of causing all kinds of trouble for themselves. In the late 1980s, some books about Wang Jingwei began to appear in China, such as Cai Dejin's "Biography of Wang Jingwei", Huang Meizhen's "Biography of Wang Jingwei", Qin Kangzong's "Towards the Abyss", etc. However, the books published in China began to appear in China
There is a common problem, which is to consciously belittle Wang Jingwei. The focus of writing books is on curiosity and erotic history. It is not a serious biography of characters but is similar to unofficial history novels. There are great questions about authenticity. There are also many books about Wang Jingwei, such as "The Truth of Wang Zhaoming" by Tomoko Kamikata, "The Biography of Wang Zhaoming" by Kusugimori, "Recallings of the Chinese Incident" by Takeo Imai, and especially the memoirs "The Kouwei Times" and "Shanghai Times" written by Shigeji Matsumoto, and Ken Inukai's "The Yangtze River Still Flowing" by Ken Inuhiko, revealing many little-known things. Compared with Chinese information, Japanese books about Wang Jingwei are more serious, and basically do not have a part of curiosity and erotic history based on low-reliance.
Wang Jingwei's life can be roughly divided into three stages: the first part: dedicating everything for the revolution; the second part: overthrowing the dictator Chiang Kai-shek; the third part: saving the country through the curve of the peace movement.
Judging from Wang Jingwei's life, Wang Jingwei was a typical "literary revolutionary", good at using pens but not guns. Sun Yat-sen attached great importance to Wang Jingwei's literary talent. Sun Yat-sen's important documents were drafted by Wang Jingwei. Sun Yat-sen was always satisfied after reading it and rarely changed it. Wang Jingwei actually served as Sun Yat-sen's secretary. The Tongmenghui established in 1905, Sun Yat-sen served as prime minister, Huang Xing served as minister of the executive department, and Wang Jingwei served as minister of the evaluation department. It can be seen that Sun Yat-sen's respect for Wang also shows that Wang has a very high reputation in the Tongmenghui. However, what made Wang Jingwei famous in China was a series of articles published in the "Minbao" sponsored by the Tongmenghui under the pseudonym of "Jingwei". Wang Jingwei wrote "Man"
A series of articles such as Constitution of the Constitution and the National Revolution, "Theory of Refuting the Revolution Can Call for Partition", "Theory of Refuting/Theory of Refuting the Revolution Can Cause Civil Dissent", etc. are all well-circulated political papers at that time. On August 19, 1908, Sun Yat-sen published an article under the pseudonym of "Nanyang Primary School Students" in Singapore's "Zhongxing Daily" "On those who fear the division of revolution are those who do not know the current affairs". The article said: "From the sixth issue of Mr. Jingwei's "Minbao" "Theory of Refuting the Revolution Can Call for Partition", the Chinese and foreign situations were completely original, which made Chinese people suddenly realize that they were afraid of external views... Reading the theory that Mr. Jingwei's revolution can be divided, and they couldn't help but be prostrated and worshipped by them." This article was later included in the "Complete Works of Sun Yat-sen".
But Wang Jingwei's fate is like his teacher Sun Yat-sen. He is a leader with only prestige but no real power. Literary revolutionaries played an extremely important public opinion-making job before seizing power, but once the regime was obtained, they were squeezed aside by military politicians who controlled the army. Sun Yat-sen was manipulated by Yuan Shikai and Wang Jingwei was manipulated by Chiang Kai-shek, and they were all victims of China's "policy came out of the gun". However, Wang Jingwei's "merits" for the establishment and development of the Kuomintang cannot be erased. Now, the Kuomintang in Taiwan must read Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen's last words before convening an important meeting. However, this last words were actually written by Wang Jingwei, and Sun Yat-sen was just signing a letter. This also shows that Wang Jingwei's influence on the Kuomintang is still "intellectual".
Wang Jingwei fought twice with his life as a bet, one was to assassinate the Regent, and the other was to launch a peace movement. The previous gambling was a huge success and received praise from the world, but the latter gambling was completely failed and was scolded by the world. However, "human calculations are not as good as God's calculations". In many major events, luck or destiny plays an important role. When Wang Jingwei assassinated the Regent, he was determined to die and did not expect to survive. The Qing government assassinated the assassination. The assassins of Manchu princes have never been precedent for not executing death, but only made an exception to avoid death when Wang Jingwei was killed. If the Qing government at that time fulfilled Wang Jingwei's determination to kill Wang Jingwei, China would have lost one traitor and one more hero. Now our primary and secondary school students will read the bold words of Martyr Wang from generation to generation to generation, "Turn the sword into one's quickness and live up to the young man." If Wang Jingwei was beaten to death when he was assassinated in 1935, it would have become a heroic glory in China. Old revolutionary, but Wang Jingwei was only injured but not killed. If the Chongqing spies did not kill Zeng Zhongming by mistake but killed Wang Jingwei, people would just sigh that Wang Jingwei was confused for a while and would not make Wang Jingwei bear the reputation of the greatest traitor in history. But the God of Destiny seemed to be deliberately teasing people, and Wang Jingwei was also dissatisfied with his life in the end. At the age of 60, he wrote a poem about "Chao Zhongcuo" in "The City Tower is a hundred feet long and leaning against the sky, and the geese are on the back of the geese. Flying low; the ground is covered with fallen leaves, and the yellow flowers keep the setting sun. The railings are all over, the heart is full of tumbling, and the scenery is in my eyes. In order to ask about the green mountains and clear waters, how many times can the rise and fall of the sky? Wang Jingwei also wrote this passage before the lyrics: "On the 9th day of the year, I read the lyrics of Yuan Yishan. When I was 'The country is like a painting, I forget the rise and fall when I was drunk', I also wrote a poem." Yuan Haowen's works resonated with Wang Jingwei, which shows that Wang Jingwei was also depressed and depressed. ]
Many people interpreted Wang Jingwei's surrender to the Japanese as a fight for power with Chiang Kai-shek, but from the history of Wang Jingwei, Wang Jingwei was not a person who was particularly obsessed with power. When the 1912 Revolution of 1912 was victorious, Wang Jingwei's status and social influence in the party at that time, he could at least be an official of more than one minister, and Hu Hanmin became the governor of Guangdong. At that time, Wang Jingwei was only 30 years old, and such a high-ranking official should be very attractive to a 30-year-old young man. However, Wang Jingwei proposed "not to be an official, not to be a congressman." , the "six nostalgia" of not prostitutes, not gambling, not taking concubines, and not smoking opium, gave up being an official and went to France to study. After the Revolution of 1911, there was no one like Wang Jingwei who had merits and prestige but had no official position. Later, when Wang Jingwei was appointed as the chairman of the Guangzhou National Government, he took the initiative to resign without resigning, which also reflected that Wang Jingwei did not attach much importance to power. Therefore, simply regarding Wang Jingwei leaving Chongqing to engage in a peace movement as a fight for power, but actually making historical figures stereotypes.
Wang Jingwei's personal tragedy is actually a tragedy of modern China. Just imagine if China was a wealthy and powerful country at that time, how could it be invaded by foreign countries? How could there be traitors? The more traitors there are in a country's history, the weaker the country. For a weak country that is invaded by strong enemies, someone must always take on the "burden of traitors". This is the case in history between ancient and modern times, China and abroad. Therefore, we should not formally understand "traitors" as a group of national scum who thinks of selling their country and seeking prosperity all day long, but should understand the tragedy of "traitors" from another perspective. Wang Jingwei's lifestyle is rigorous, and he regards death as if he is home in his early years. In his later years, he endured humiliation and suffered a greater sacrifice than death!
Wang Jingwei had extremely strict requirements for his subordinates, but he had always been highly favored and held high positions in the Kuomintang and government. After the "rebellion", there were still a large number of elite figures such as Zhou Fohai, Tao Xisheng, Zeng Zhongming, Gao Zongwu, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, Zhou Longxiang, Chen Gongbo, and Wang Kemin who took risks and followed him without complaints. His secretary Zeng Zhongming even died for it. All this is only understood as the loyalty of his subordinates to his superiors?
After Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun was arrested, she refused to accept the crime and made a generous statement in court to distinguish Mr. Wang Jingwei. After the CCP drove away Chiang Kai-shek, she still detained Chen Bijun. Soong Ching-ling and He Xiangning personally came out to plead with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. Mao Zhou said that as long as Mr. Chen issued a brief statement of remorse, freedom would be restored immediately. Chen Bijun would rather go to jail than admit that Wang Jingwei was guilty against his conscience! All this is only understood as his wife "keeping her reputation for her husband"?
Wang Jingwei participated in the revolution in his early years and was arrested and imprisoned. He retired after the Xinhai Revolution. During his tenure, the Kuomintang resigned repeatedly and was assassinated twice. He died in a foreign land. He joined the Communist Party and opposed the Communist Party all his life, used Chiang to fight and resume his post, and went abroad to return to China. He was in charge of war and harmony. He was very varied, but all his words and deeds were consistent with Confucian principles of benevolence and righteousness and people-oriented thinking, because he always had an unchanging highest purpose in his heart: national interests and national interests based on the interests of all the people.!
