==Death== In March 1944, Wang left for Japan to undergo medical treatment for the wound left by an assassination attempt in 1939.<ref name="Wang Ching-wei"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.desertwar.net/wang-jingwei.html|title=Wang Jingwei}}</ref><ref name="Ramon Hawley Myers 1993. p. 141"/> He died in [[Nagoya]] on 10 November 1944, less than a year before Japan's surrender to the Allies. Many of his senior followers who lived to see the end of the war were executed. His death was not reported in occupied China until the afternoon of 12 November, after commemorative events for Sun Yat-sen's birth had concluded. Contrary to a number of secondary accounts, Wang was not buried near the [[Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum]] in an elaborately-constructed mausoleum.<ref>Taylor, Jeremy E. (2019). "From Traitor to Martyr: Drawing Lessons From the Death and Burial of Wang Jingwei, 1944". ''Journal of Chinese History'' '''3''', pp. 146β153. https://doi.org/10.1017/jch.2017.43.</ref> Instead, he was buried on Plum Flower Mountain, near the mausoleums of the Ming dynasty, in a small, temporary tomb consisting of only a circular grass topped mound eight metres wide and four metres high, a makeshift wooden structure and a sign reading "Wang Jingwei's tomb". Wang was to be moved to Canton for final burial below [[Pakwan Mountain]] upon the reunification of the country under the Nanking government.<ref>Taylor, pp. 146-153.</ref> Soon after Japan's defeat, the Kuomintang government under Chiang Kai-shek moved its capital back to Nanjing, destroyed Wang's tomb, and burned the body. Today, the site is commemorated with a small pavilion that notes Wang as a traitor.<ref>Taylor, pp. 146-153</ref>
