Anecdotes of characters

Wang Zhaoyong was not an official of the Republic of China

After the success of the revolution of 1911, the new government once invited Wang Zhaoyong to take up the post of local official, but Wang Zhaoyong regarded himself as a relic of the Qing Dynasty and refused to serve in the Republic of China. In 1912, Wang Jingwei, his half brother, asked him to work for the government of the Republic of China, but he refused and swore that he would disdain being an apprentice in the Qin and Chu dynasties. Later, Hu Hanmin invited Wang Zhaoyong to serve as the general secretary, and he resigned. Wang Zhaoyong was invited to be the political director of Guangdong Salt Merchants, and he resigned.

Regard oneself as a relic of the Qing Dynasty

During the more than ten years since the founding of the Republic of China, Wang Zhaoyong took his family members to Macao many times to avoid chaos. He often regarded himself as an old man and respected Puyi. When he lived in Macao, he and a group of benevolent scholars, who also claimed to be the adherents of the former dynasty, expressed their ambition of the Republic of China and the new dynasty in poetry. Because Wang Zhaoyong insisted on his position as an old man, he was granted the word "Fu" by Puyi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was so overjoyed that he named his residence "blessing hall". Even after his death, Puyi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, rewarded him with a plaque of "unshakable integrity".

Wang Wen's corruption

Wang Zongzhu, Wang Zhaoyong's second son, worked with Song Ziwen. His niece Wang Wen used his relationship to work in Guangzhou stamp tax bureau, but her real identity was the underground Party of the Communist Party of China. Wang Wen "embezzled" hundreds of thousands of yuan in the stamp tax bureau. Later, she found a party organization in Macao and handed in all the hundreds of thousands of yuan.
