Puyi's life is like a movie with ups and downs, every step is very difficult, he should have a happy life, but he was hand-picked by Cixi to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Puyi, who ascended the throne at the age of 3, did not know what his future would look like, but he was not happy in the palace. Puyi also became the first emperor in Chinese history, and when he returned home and asked to be bought a ticket, he sat on a dragon chair and said a word, and never stepped into the Forbidden City until his death. Puyi is undoubtedly a tragic product of the changes of the times, and it is the environment that dooms him to an extraordinary life.
As the last emperor of China, this heavy title continued throughout Puyi's life, and he lived in the praise of eunuchs as a young man. In middle age, he was bent on restoring the Qing Dynasty and did not want the Qing Dynasty to perish, but unexpectedly became a puppet emperor of the Japanese. Even so, he still wants to give it a go, hoping to bring Daqing back to life with his own strength, but he doesn't know that everything has long been a foregone conclusion, and those missing puzzles can't be pieced together no matter how hard he tries.
Puyi's life is indeed tragic, because he has never enjoyed the joy of being an ordinary person, whether it is family affection, love or friendship, the people around him are with him for the sake of profit. As the emperor of a country, he was incompetent and powerless; as the husband of his wives, he could never give them a complete home, and eventually the Qing Dynasty collapsed, Wanrong went crazy, Wen Xiu divorced him, his beloved Tan Yuling also died at the hands of the Japanese, his mother also left him, and Puyi's body was empty. The most unfortunate thing in life is this.
From the day he was pardoned and released from prison, he also had a new identity, that is, a citizen of New China. With a job and a new marriage, Puyi can finally live the second half of his life in peace and do not have to be displaced. After being released from prison, Puyi was once invited by Du Yuming to revisit the Forbidden City, Puyi wanted to go and did not want to go, his heart was extremely contradictory, and finally he could not stand the instigation of others and re-embarked on the land of the Forbidden City. However, the owner of the Forbidden City, when he wanted to enter the Forbidden City, was told by the conductor to buy tickets to enter, at this time Puyi's heart was full of mixed feelings, but he still panicked and bought a ticket and entered the Forbidden City.
Everything in the Forbidden City was so familiar to him, and in a trance he seemed to be back to his childhood, and there seemed to be a teenager on the dragon chair of the Taihe Hall, watching Manchu Wenwu bow to him. In the Taihe Hall, Puyi couldn't help but walk toward the dragon chair, and sat on the dragon chair, sighed, said "This dragon chair is not so good to sit on", and left, never stepping into the Forbidden City until his death.
Puyi's ups and downs began under the last afterglow of the empire. All his life, he longed for freedom. As a teenager, he hoped to leave the Forbidden City and study in Europe. In middle age, it was hoped to escape from the confinement of Manchuria. He was lonely, and his only friends were his brother. He is tragic, entering his former home and buying tickets, Puyi's sense of fate is too strong.
