汪精卫的性格与政治命运

The Character of Wang Jingwei and His Political Fate

汪精卫以"烈士"登上历史舞台,却以"汉奸"结束政治生命,在貌似"多变"、"矛盾"的政治选择背后,潜藏着他"一贯"的性格,即在行动中常带着一种近于妄想的偏执与自信,且不乏付诸行动的勇气。然而一旦身陷困境,就自暴自弃,缺乏强韧的意志和圆融折冲的智慧。汪精卫在民族生存最艰难的时刻,没有坚持战斗的勇气,接受日本人的诱降条件,幻想以媾和赢得一个偏安之局,最终"被诱而亡",身败名裂。他大起大落的政治命运与他的性格密不可分。

Wang Jingwei emerged on the historical stage as a 'person of high endeavor' but ended his political life as a traitor.Underlying these seemingly volatile and inconsistent political choices was a consistent character: one of an almost delusional paranoia and self-confidence frequently reflected in his actions.In fact he didn’t lack the courage to act.But once trapped in a difficult situation,he would be tormented by self-doubt,lacking strength of will and the wisdom to be flexible and compromise.At the most difficult moment of China’s survival,Wang lacked the courage to fight on;he was then seduced by the Japanese into capitulation,imagining he could thereby obtain a partial peace,and ultimately lured to ruin.The vicissitudes he encountered in political life were inseparable from his character.
