"慷慨歌燕市,從容作楚囚。引刀成一快,不負少年頭。留得心魂在,殘軀付劫灰。青磷光不滅,夜夜照燕台。" I think calling Wang a Han traitor simplied his action. Read this poem. Some KMT members complained that none of the core KMT leaders participated in any uprising and only low level members were ordered to sacrifice their lives. Wang volunteered, and wrote this poem when he was arrested for his failed attempt to assassinate Qing's Provost. Reading his poem more than 100 years later one could still feel the thrill and blood boiling. This was as heroic as "望門投止思張儉, 忍死須臾待杜根。我自橫刀向天笑, 去留肝膽兩崑崙," and "風蕭蕭兮易水寒,壯士一去兮不復還!" You truly believe such a person of character would intentionally betray China for personal gain? I don't! What did he get in return for being a Han Traitor? Money? Power? Fame? None, and nothing. He made some wrong assumptions that led him down the path of no return. He believed that Chinese were no match for Japan and China sovereignty would be totally destroyed if Chiang continued with the war. He urged Chiang to negotiate a temporary peace treaty to allow time to finish off the communist and build up KMT's military power. He failed to recognize that Chiang had the support of the mass to fight against Japanese. He resigned as the VP of China and made a detour to Shanghai via Vietnam. To garner credibility he called Chiang a dictator and his government was not the one envisioned by Dr. Sun. He claimed that he was the legal and legitimate successor of Sun. He believed that negotiating peace with Japanese would spare many Chinese lives. Unfortunately for him he was marginalized by Japanese and Chiang. His government had no impact on China or the war. He failed his mission and he was stuck. I don't think that he had the initial plan or the desire to be a Han traitor to help Japanese to rule over China. He was just a failed politician. KMT took every opportunity to discredit him and called him all kinds of derogatory names. King or bandit? All depends if one wins or loses as the winner writes history.

本人觉得他的决策是保民,但我不认同。To me,I dun think he should be labelled as a traitor.Rather that his passive approach would dampen KMT plans to wane off the Japs
