Perhaps in anticipation of posthumous damnation, Wang Jingwei on his deathbed asked his family and followers not to publish his speeches or essays. A collection of his classical-style verses alone, he declared, would serve as his testament.4 An editorial committee duly compiled and published his poems as Poetry on the Double-Shining Tower in May 1945,5three months before…
