An Analysis Of Wu Chih-hui's Political Orientation During The Founding Period Of The Republic Of China

Wu Chih-hui,whose life almost overlaps with the whole modern history of China,lived through many important historical events in this period and many historical turning points in the period from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China,and finally went to Taiwan.He was a complicated and unique historical figure.His life went through the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.During this period,he has not only experienced,but also participated in all the major historical events,such as the Reform Movement of 1898,the Revolution of 1911,the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army,the revolt revolution of the Kuomintang,the establishment and unification of the Nanking National Government,the War of Resistance against Japan,the final battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China,Chiang Kai-shek's defeat to Taiwan,and so on.In some of these events,Wu Chih-hui played even a central role.These events are obscured in the dust of history,so we need various icons and guides such as Wu Chih-hui,a historical figure who have experienced all this events,to get us closer.His words and deeds,attitudes,standpoints,orientations,are not only the paths and keys for us to correctly interpret the history of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History,but also the main basis for us to accurately understand and evaluate Wu Chih-hui.Based on the previous research results of Wu Chih-hui,this paper starts with Wu Chih-hui's political interpretation.In response to the Kuomintang official's political assessment of him,choose the During the founding of the Republic of China Wu Chih-hui's various manifestations as an interpretation of his political attitude as a matter of fact.There are three important moments in the establishment of the Republic of China.The first was the establishment of the Nanking Provisional Government in 1912.The second was the establishment of the Guangzhou National Government which was based on the Grand Marshal House of Guangzhou established by Sun Yat-sen in 1925.The third was the establishment of Chiang Kai-shek 's Nanking National Government in 1927 and the completion of Ning-Han collaboration and the banner changing of Northeast China.The three national governments have different main bodies,different purposes and different goals.And corresponding to these differences,Wu Chih-hui's performances on these three nodes are also very different.In the eyes of Kuomintangofficials and some scholars from Hong Kong and Taiwan,Wu Chih-hui was regarded as the "old man of the Party",the "founding father" and the "division guard" of the Republic of China.In fact,he looked coldly from the side-lines at the establishment of the Nanking Provisional Government,also he was quite indifferent for Sun Yat-sen's establishment of the government in Guangzhou three times and the Guangzhou National Government.It is observed that he was far away from the above titles.However,he fully supported and protected the establishment of the Nanking National Government led by Chiang Kai-shek and subsequent Ning-Han collaboration.Therefore,there is no doubt that Wu Chih-hui was the "division guard" of Chiang Kai-shek and his Nanking National Government.His attitudes towards Nanking provisional government and the Guangzhou National Government are indifferent,in sharp contrast to the passionate participation to the Nanking national government.Furthermore,we believe that Wu Chih-hui' s political orientation is a certain logic,guy chose his position based on a certain political attitude.
