The article speaks for itself. Didn't you read it?

"Their circumstances were made worse by the debts they had incurred
from the seasonal loans granted under Wang’s reform initiatives. The
situation was made even worse when local officials insisted on
collecting on the loans as the farmers were leaving their land. This
crisis was depicted as being Wang’s fault. The empress dowager was
also an opponent of Wang. Wang wanted to resign, but the emperor
still supported him, giving him high honors and an appointment to
Jiangning (present-day Nanjing.)
He was recalled by the emperor the following year, but now he was
seen as vulnerable and was openly attacked from groups of
conservatives. Wang returned to Nanjing, which be preferred to
Kaifeng. He wrote and engaged in scholarship through to his death in
1086.
With Shenzhong's death in 1085, Wang was permanently ousted and the
New Policies rolled back."
