On February 12, 1912, in the continuous uprising of the southern revolutionaries, Empress Longyu, who was wearing the aura of "orphan and widow", announced the abdication of the Qing Emperor. The end is not only the Qing Dynasty that experienced 276 years, but also the feudal dynasty that has lasted for thousands of years in the land of China.
However, according to the negotiating conditions between Empress Longyu and the Government of the Republic of China at that time, the royal nobles of Aixin Jueluo retained their own family property, and Emperor Puyi and Empress Longyu and others were able to use the Forbidden City as their private territory.
In this era background, the last heir of the Aisin Jueluo royal family was quietly born in the Prince of Alcohol Palace in 1921, and she was Aisin Jueluo Yunhuan.
Yun Huan was the latest child born in prince Zaifeng Yimai's mansion and the latest child born in the entire Aisin Kyora royal family, and she ranked seventh in the family.
Although in the Palace of Prince Alcohol, which followed the "Royal Family Rules" and the "Manchu Qing State Law", because of the need to take care of the practice of the inheritance of children's moral inheritance and the internal distribution of custody, the children did not move around much with each other, and the feelings were not as deep as those of ordinary people.
But Yun Huan is still the most favored one among his brothers and sisters, and even Puyi takes good care of Yun Huan.
It is said that Yun Huan was Puyi's youngest sister, but because Puyi was selected by Cixi to succeed to the Tongzhi Emperor at the age of two, and later became emperor, Puyi's feelings for the brothers and sisters in the Zaifeng Mansion of the Prince of Alcohol were extremely complicated.
On the one hand, Zaifeng is his biological father, and Yun Huan and others are his siblings, but they cannot recognize each other and cannot be too intimate because of etiquette. Due to the preferential treatment policy of the Republic of China government to the Manchu Qing royal family, their property was not confiscated, so Yun Huan's childhood life was basically very happy.
Although it is much worse in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation than in the Qing Dynasty, it is already considered to be "living in the sky" compared with the ordinary people who are struggling to survive.
However, without the imperial court's Feng Lu, and because of the loss of power and the lack of "filial piety" of the people below, the entire Prince Of Alcohol Palace was in a state of sitting on the mountain and eating the air.
In 1925, Yun Huan's eldest sister, Zaifeng's eldest daughter Yun's grandmother Liu Jiashi, died one after another. This made Yun Huan, who was not familiar with the world, begin to feel the impact of life and death on ordinary people. However, under the impact of the tide of the great era, even if it is actively retreating to the deep, it cannot be avoided.
Since 1924, when Feng Yuxiang led his troops into the Forbidden City to launch the "Beijing Coup" to force away the Puyi Emperor, he either held his breath or did not want to be subject to Puyi in Tianjin. Puyi constantly gathered the relics of the Qing Dynasty in Tianjin to seek restoration.
Although the Zaifeng family also followed Puyi to Tianjin in 1928, Zaifeng, who had been the regent, saw at a glance that there was no hope of restoration. Due to the constant turmoil in the Republic of China and the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yun Huan and several older brothers and sisters have been educated in different schools for a period of time after moving to Tianjin.
They had attended foreign schools and had also consulted tutors at home, and among the Manchu children were "rich" painters, and several of Zaifeng's children could also be taught by court painters during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Yun Huan's sixth sister also married Wang Ailan, a well-known Manchu painter.
In order to gradually integrate themselves into the current Chinese society, many Manchurian tribes at that time changed their surnames to Tong, Tong, Na, Guan, Guo and other single surnames, and Ai Xinjue Luoshi also changed his surname to Jin. In order to cut with the past, Yun Huan changed his name to Jin Zhijian.
In 1947, at the age of 26, Jin Zhi resolutely decided to go out of the house and go to his fourth brother's school to help as a teacher, and he began his teaching career. In 1948, Jin Zhijian and his good friend Li Shufen cooperated to open a vocational school for women in their own name, which specialized in training women to work.
After the founding of New China, Jin Zhijian was impressed by the communists' move to ask for the people's life and change the day. Jin Zhijian voluntarily contributed the antique calligraphy and paintings that her family had treasured for many years, and the government saw that she was sincerely doing the construction of new China, and also actively recruited Jin Zhijian as a regular teacher in public primary schools.
Jin Zhijian's actions set an example for the people of the family, and more and more descendants of Ai XinJue Luo abandoned their past arrogance and threw themselves wholeheartedly into socialist construction.
In 1950, Jin Zhijian chose to marry Qiao Hongzhi, who had known him for a year, through a group wedding in a very collectivist way. Qiao Hongzhi was born into a poor Han Chinese family and first met Jin Zhijian through Li Shufen.
Because of Li Shufen as a bond, Qiao Hongzhi did not care too much about Jin Zhijian's "black background" that was higher than "rich and anti-bad right", but only treated Jin Zhijian as an ordinary girl.
This relationship is very valuable for Jin Zhijian, who lacks emotional life and has little social networking, which is also an important reason why Jin Zhijian is willing to abandon the "beautiful marriage" and marry Qiao Hongzhi.
For some time after that, Jin Zhijian, in addition to serving as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Chongwen District of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, has been shining in his education post.
Since her union with Qiao Hongzhi, she has given birth to three children. Jin Zhijian also did not use his identity to give his children the green light in work and marriage, and several children were either teachers, workers, or technicians, all growing up in the new social environment, contributing to the construction of the country in different positions.
With the loss of time, the laughter and fighting in the Prince Of Alcohol Palace, the brothers and sisters who read and wrote died one after another, until 1994, When Jin Zhijian became the only surviving person in the aisin Kyora royal family. Ten years later, in 2004, Kim Died in Beijing at the age of 83, and the Aisin Kyora royal family completely disappeared into history.
When Jin Zhijian died, his last words were not his own children, nor the glory of the past, but "In a historical sense, our family is a sinner in China, and it is my greatest luck to be able to serve the people all my life."
This is led by Puyi, and those qing dynasty widows and widows want to say but are embarrassed to say.
Out of dignity, puyi and Huang Wei did not say this sentence, because it symbolized that they believed all the mistakes of the first half of their lives. But Jin Zhijian, the weakest little sister in the family, said for them what they wanted to say but were embarrassed to say.
