There are many emperors in our country who have ascended to the throne like stars in the sky, but there are few people who can really be remembered by everyone, whether it is a benevolent monarch or a tyrant, they can always be counted with two hands. Among these people, such as the Central Plains where Qin Shi Huang established a great unification, the Han Dynasty established by Emperor Wu of Han, the imperial examination system established by Emperor Wen of Sui, Wu Zetian was the first female emperor of China, and the Kangqian prosperous era created by Kangxi Qianlong, but there was also an emperor who was remembered not because of his merits, but because of his incompetence. This person did not need to be introduced much to know that it was Puyi of the last emperor.
Puyi was actually a poor man, during his reign as a puppet of others, after the end of the Qing Dynasty, he became a puppet of the Japanese puppet Manchukuo, many years later Japan fled, the Soviet Union had the upper hand in the world, he was captured to the Soviet Union, received another education from the Soviet Union, and finally founded New China, he returned to China, and only then did he get a peaceful life.
The reason why Emperor Puyi was able to survive was also that he had a special temperament, knowing how to judge the hour and size up the situation, when Puyi, who had just returned from the Soviet Union, began to examine himself, and then he entered the prison in Fushun for a period of reform, because of his excellent performance, he finally got chairman Mao's special approval, and when he was released from prison, he was also considered to have received everyone's sympathy and gave him a job in Beijing.
Puyi in China can also be regarded as seeing the wind and waves, so he does his best to do his job, treats the people around him very peacefully, and when he usually rests, he will also go out with friends and colleagues to hang out, and he will visit the Forbidden City without doing anything, and introduce the mysteries with his friends around him.
Because he was a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, his original identity was still the emperor, so he had the opportunity to contact foreign guests, and in the process of a banquet with Premier Zhou, some people did not know Puyi, but they were more curious about his identity, so they asked Premier Zhou, and Premier Zhou smiled and said: "This is the emperor of the past." ”
The people around him were surprised and more interested in him, and Puyi, who heard this, took the initiative to declare: "The emperor of the past is dead, and I am now Puyi, but not the Puyi who became the emperor." The attitude of this kind of speech sounds very humble, and the attitude is also very earnest, and these words also show that he realized his original mistakes, and his behavior surprised Premier Zhou and foreign guests.
At that time, Sino-foreign exchanges also mainly relied on the translation of translation officials, and Puyi opened his mouth to say again in order to let everyone translate well: "Hello, I am Puyi, the former emperor of China, and now a citizen of New China." After the translation was finished, the foreign guests applauded thunderously. He may also be saying this in New China, and he really feels what it means to be respected.
