Wang Zhixin

Wang Zhixin (Chinese: 王治馨; (August 17, 1868 – October 23, 1914) was a Chinese politician of the Republic of China era. He was born in Yantai, Shandong.^[1] He was an associate of Zhao Bingjun during the later years of the Qing Dynasty. A member of the Beiyang government, he served as the 3rd mayor of Beijing (October 16, 1913 – March 23, 1914). On June 27, 1914, on the orders of Yuan Shikai, Wang was arrested and imprisoned for his involvement in the assassination of Song Jiaoren. Wang's downfall was related to his association with Zhao, who had mysteriously died during his tenure as mayor. On Yuan's orders, Wang was executed.^[2][3][4]
