After the last empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Yulong, was forced by Yuan Shikai to sign an abdication agreement, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, announced his abdication, which was also the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Although Puyi also formed a provisional regime twice, once in the Forbidden City to declare reunification and restoration, and once to establish Manchukuo with the support of the Japanese.
But the regimes established on both occasions were temporary regimes, and the actual rulers were not Puyi.
As the last emperor, Puyi's life was manipulated, and most of the other members of the royal family did not live as well as him.
What is the trajectory of her life as a woman we are talking about today, known as the last Gege of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the last Gege of the Qing Dynasty?
Born in the royal palace, but subject to restrictions everywhere
She was born in 1918, her father named her Aisin Kyora Xianqi, and in order to integrate into the local life, her family gave him a Han Chinese name Jin Moyu. At that time, although Puyi had abdicated, the life of the royal family members of the Qing Dynasty was still quite good.
His father, Prince Su, was a traditional man who had been committed to the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, but in his later years, he also knew that there was no hope for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, so he taught his children that they could not become the people of China in the future, let alone allow them to become officials in China.
This is the background of Xianqi's life, although she did not worry about eating and wearing when she was a child, she was deeply influenced by Chinese bad habits and was taught not to become a Chinese.
Perhaps it is living under such contradictions that has created her rebellious character.
At the age of 19, she cut a man's hairstyle, took a photo and displayed it in a window in a photo studio, and this matter was discovered by one of her brothers, who blamed her: How can Gege's photos be put outside for people to see?
At that time, she had a superior life, she always had no concept of money, and what she wanted was her family to pick up a few good ones, and then take them back to pick for her, but she was still rebellious, and even secretly found a job from her family.
In 1948, almost all of her family fled, but she chose to stay, believing that she was alive to Chinese, and naturally had to stay in this land.
It was she who chose to stay at that time, which also led to the trough of her later life, not only living in poverty, but even 15 years of imprisonment.
Big ups and downs, always face with optimism
In 1948, the elders of her family rolled up money and left, some of them fled to Hong Kong, some went to Taiwan, and some went abroad.
And one of his brothers not only lost the family property, but also left 6 children and an old nanny and her daughter, Jin Moyu only has 100 yuan on her body, she can only rely on her own ability, to support a family of nine.
In the past, she could not keep her work, and the lives of many people suffered greatly, and in order to make a living, she could only sell her family belongings, such as pianos, sofas, phonographs and other items.
But this can only be a stopgap measure, and it was not long before she even knitted sweaters for the Navy in order to solve the problem of eating, and then a brother in Hong Kong sent a large amount of money to gradually turn the family around.
She opened a restaurant, her life was booming, she met a painter Ma Wanli, and married him, and then she was admitted to the Beijing Compilation Society, and as her life rose, the prison disaster came.
There is no accident, because of her special status, she was sentenced to 15 years, in fact, not only because she is a member of the royal family, but also because her sister is a Chinese and foreign celebrity: Yoshiko Kawashima.
After Jin Moyu was released from prison, she was given another job opportunity, this time she remarried to Shi Youwei, and with the concerted efforts of the two, she set up a Japanese language school.
In her later years, she was interviewed in the column, through the column, many people recognized for the first time that she was the sister of Yoshiko Kawashima, and it was she herself who exposed this matter.
For many years, she has been influenced by this sister, but after the reform and opening up, the Chinese people gradually understood her personality and no longer looked at her differently.
epilogue
Her life, ups and downs, since she was a child, she is the character of a certain royal palace in other people, and she does not have to do it herself when she goes in and out of the mall to sell things, and someone will send her back to the house.
But in 1948, she gave up the opportunity to flee to Hong Kong, which led to the poor life and prison disasters behind her, but these could not defeat her, and she always showed the "joy" and "happiness" of joy and sorrow all her life, and pressed "anger" and "sorrow" into her heart.
Such a last-generation Gege, perhaps because of her personality, has created her own life trajectory for people and her brothers and sisters.
