In 1908, Guangxu was critically ill, and Cixi summoned the military ministers Zaifeng, Zhang Zhidong, and Shi Xu to discuss the establishment of an heir, and in Cixi's edict, puyi was made emperor and Zaifeng was the regent, although Zaifeng had great power in his hands, but he was not exempt from being subordinated to Empress Longyu.
In October 1911, when the Wuchang Uprising broke out, Zaifeng was not a conservative, and he felt that the trend was gone, so he simply dissolved the imperial cabinet, returned to the mansion, lived a secluded life, and was even more indifferent to the restoration, and forbade his children to participate in major state affairs.
Zaifeng has a total of 7 children, the eldest son Puyi, the youngest daughter, Ai Xin Jueluo Yun Huan, she is also the last Gege of the Qing Dynasty, she was born in 1921, at this time Yun Huan also did not have the aura of noble Gege, she was more able to accept advanced ideas than the rest of her brothers and sisters.
At the age of 8, she entered the "Yaohua School" run by the British Ministry of Works, under the influence of advanced ideas, but with the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, she was also forced to suspend school, Yun Huan once heard that Puyi had become a puppet of the Japanese, and she also wrote letters to advise Puyi not to fall too deeply.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Soviet Union took Puyi away and imprisoned, Yun Huan walked out of the palace, changed her name to Jin Zhijian, and went to a school to help the fourth brother work, in which she met another teacher, Li Shufen, who was a Han Chinese, but her enthusiasm for teaching was infected with Yun Huan.
In 1948, Yun Huan and Li Shufen opened a girls' school together, she also officially became the first brother and sister to participate in the revolutionary work, in the school, through Li Shufen's introduction, Yun Huan met Qiao Hongzhi, Qiao Hongzhi is naturally also a Han, but she did not dislike his origin.
But Yun Huan's extraordinary origin, doomed to stumble, in 1959, Puyi was released from prison, under the arrangement of the organization, he came to Yun Huan's home to live temporarily, in the face of this strange big brother, Yun Huan had mixed feelings, she called a big brother and cried, and this is also the first time in her life called Puyi big brother.
The following year, her husband Qiao Hongzhi died of illness, at the age of 41, seven years later, Puyi also died of illness, which was indeed a very big blow to her, many friends also advised her to remarry, find someone to accompany her to spend her old age, but Yun Huan was not willing to remarry, she focused on work, she only wanted to do more for the country.
In 2004, she was hospitalized due to illness, perhaps feeling that time was running out, and before she died, on behalf of herself and her brother and the entire family, she said a sentence that Puyi had never dared to say, "My family, in a sense, is wrong in history, and it is my greatest honor to have the opportunity to serve the people in this life."
Yun Huan is lucky compared to Puyi, although she has not experienced Puyi's ups and downs, but her life is bland and perfect.
