In March 1937,when Wang Chonghui took over the position of foreign minister of the National Government,he expressed his commitment to following the line of peace and improving Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations.After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident,he initially proposed a peaceful settlement of the Sino-Japanese conflict,and as Japan pressed hard and there was no hope for a peaceful settlement,Wang Chonghui gradually turned to the war of resistance and sought international"aid to China and control of Japan".Although he was inclined to accept the mediation of Trautman to end the Sino-Japanese war,he also adhered to the position of resistance,and preached that victory would be ours,which had a positive impact both at home and abroad.Wang Chonghui's inconsistent actions were not only constrained by the complex situation and the influence of the National Government's policy toward Japan,but also by his personal political stance and understanding of the nature of Japan's invasion of China.This demonstrates the contradiction and entanglement of Wang Chonghui's identity behavior and his inner thoughts.It also reflects the complex interweaving of personal orientation and national destiny in the period of national crisis.
