王懿荣与庚子国难

Wang Yirong and Gengzi Incident

学界、传记学者对王懿荣爱国事迹的记叙多采用《王文敏公年谱》中的相关资料,年谱为王氏幼子崇焕编于光绪三十年(1904),而庚子国难之时王崇焕年仅8岁,当时已出逃离京,可知其并不了解当时具体情状。本文利用国家图书馆藏未刊王懿荣书札手稿,结合庚子事件亲历者的实录,使王懿荣鲜活、坚贞的爱国大臣形象得到更加具象的彰显,并且更真实地窥见到他直面亡国倾覆时的内心独白。

The academic circles and the scholars of biography recorded Wang Yirong＇s patriotic deeds by use of the related data in Chronicle of Wang Wenmin, which was edited by his youngest son, Wang Chonghuan in 1904 （the 30th year of Guangxu, Emperor of Qing Dynasty）. However, he didn＇t know much about the details because he was only 8 years old at that time and left Beijing when Gengzi Incident happened. Wang Yirong＇s unpublished manuscripts and letters in National Library and the witnesses＇ records of Gengzi Incident are very valuable in that they can highlight his faithful patriotic figure and we can see his internal monologue in the face of the conquered nation.
