Puyi's biological father, Zaifeng, had a total of seven daughters. The eldest daughter Yun, the second daughter Yun, the third daughter Yun Ying, the fourth daughter Yun Xian, the fifth daughter Yun Xin, the sixth daughter Yun Yu, and the seventh daughter Yun Huan.
As the last generation of Gege, their fate changed drastically with the demise of the Qing Dynasty. Once they were the proud daughters of heaven, the most senior royal family, the elder brother was the emperor, the father was the regent, and it can be said that they were the highest-ranking princesses in the Qing Dynasty. But after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, they fell to the bottom in an instant, became the princesses of the fallen country, no longer on top, but every day they had to worry and fear, afraid that they would be liquidated.
So it is such a huge gap, what is their final outcome? Is it a turbulent displacement? Or is it a home? Is it the silence in the dreams of the old days? Or trying to adapt to the new era? Listen to me here and take my time.
Eldest daughter Yun[wēn]媖[yīng]
Yun was born in 1908. She was a compatriot of Puyi, and her mother Concubine Youlan was the daughter of Cixi's favorite minister, Wenhuadian University Scholar Ronglu, and also Cixi's adopted daughter, so Yun was considered the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty.
Yun was married by her father to Runliang, the brother of Empress Dowager Puyi, when she was about 15 years old. Two years later, due to sudden acute appendicitis without effective medical treatment, he died of illness at the age of 17.
Originally, Yun Yu can survive, acute appendicitis for Chinese medicine is already an incurable disease, but for Western medicine, it is not a serious disease, but as long as through Western medicine, Yun's acute appendicitis can be rescued. Unfortunately, because Yun's father Zaifeng was too stubborn, he did not want his daughter's body to let those foreigners touch and even see the light, so in the end he missed the best time for treatment, and Yunyuan died of an acute infection caused by acute appendicitis.
Second daughter Yun[wēn]龢[hé]
Born in 1911, Yun Gong was born in the same mother as Yun And Puyi, because of this relationship, Yun Gong is Puyi's favorite sister, and when she was young, she could freely enter and leave the Forbidden City and play with Puyi. She is a witness to Puyi's bumpy life, and she has personally experienced Puyi's all the deeds from abdication, restoration, and leaving the palace to the "pseudo-Manchukuo" title of emperor and fleeing, which can be said to be puyi's absolute "cronies" around him.
As an adult, Yun Gong, under the direction of Puyi, married Zheng Guangyuan, the eldest grandson of Zheng Xiaoxu, in Changchun, and then studied with Zheng Guangyuan in England and lived in the home of Puyi's foreign master Johnston. After returning to China, she and her husband stayed with Puyi, and Zheng Guangyuan held the corresponding position in the puppet state of Manchukuo.
In 1945, the puppet state of Manchukuo collapsed, because of Puyi's capture, Yun Gong lost her dependence, and she had to hide around the northeast with her husband, becoming a veritable "wandering imperial sister". On the eve of the founding of New China in 1949, she returned to Beijing from the northeast with begging all the way.
After the founding of New China, her husband Zheng Guangyuan became a member of the Cultural and Historical Materials Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and she became the director of the kindergarten. In this way, she lived the rest of her life plainly and happily, until she died of illness in 2001 at the age of 91.
三女韫[wēn]英[yǐng]
Born in 1913, Yun Ying was also born to Puyi's birth mother, Youlan, known as the "Three Grids". In 1924, Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, and just in case, Yun Ying followed her brother Puyi to Tianjin. In Tianjin, Yun Ying really enjoyed several years of carefree life, during which she studied Japanese and played tennis with Puyi and her siblings every day.
At the age of 19, Yun Ying was given by Puyi to marry Runqi, the second son of Rongyuan of Cheng'en Palace. In 1931, Yun Ying followed Puyi to Changchun, and soon she followed her husband Runqi to Japan. During the years of living in Japan, because of the identity of Emperor Yunying's sister, she attracted the attention of the Japanese, and the Japanese imperial family was also very kind to her.
The Japanese imperial family not only made Yun Ying's treatment consistent with the imperial family, but also let her hold many positions in The Japanese people, such as the honorary president of the Women's Association. However, although Yun Ying was treated kindly, she herself was very disgusted with the Japanese, and she knew the ambitions of the Japanese wolf, so she was very disgusted with it. Thus, in 1933, Yun Ying found an excuse to return to Changchun from Japan and was reluctant to re-enter Japan.
After the fall of the puppet state of Manchukuo in 1945, Yun Ying fled with the remnants of the royal family to the Great Chestnut Valley, while her husband Runqi was lost in the process of fleeing, and her life and death are unknown since then. In 1949, after the founding of New China, Yun Ying and her three children moved to Beijing to live, and when Zaifeng died two years later, she was given several old houses, relying on the rent of these old houses to survive.
In 1954, with the help of Zhang Shizhao, Yun Ying received special attention from Chairman Mao, and with Chairman Mao's help, she became a member of the CPPCC Committee in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. Two years later, under the special approval of Chairman Mao, she was able to visit Puyi at the Fushun War Criminals Management Center. In 1992, Yun Ying died of illness at the age of 79.

Yun Xian was born in 1914 to the tang jia clan of Zaifeng's side Fujin. As an adult, he was married by Puyi to the Mongolian nobleman Zhao Qipan. In 1931, along with other siblings, she followed Puyi to Changchun, and her husband became Puyi's bodyguard.
In 1945, when the puppet state of Manchukuo collapsed, she and her husband began to live in hiding in Tibet, and soon returned to Beijing to live. In 1949, her husband fled to Taiwan alone, leaving Yun Xian and several of her children alone, usually relying on the help of a few sisters. Then, because of her special status, the new Chinese government gave her special care and helped her find a fixed job. In 1982, Zhao returned from Taiwan to reunite with Yun Xian. Yun Xian died of illness in 2003 at the age of 89.
Wu Nu Yun [wēn] Xin [xīn]

After the fall of puppet Manchuria in 1945, she and Puyi and others were separated from the big chestnuts in Tonghua, Jilin Province, and her husband was also captured by the Soviet Union and sent to the farm for reform, since then she can only wander around the northeast with a few children, and soon followed a few sisters back to Beijing to live.
After the founding of New China, her husband was pardoned, so they were reunited. Later, under the arrangement of the government, she entered a state-owned hotel as a cashier, and then she lived a peaceful and happy life with her husband and children, and all four children were finally admitted to college. He died of illness in 1998 at the age of 81.
Six female Yun entertainment
Born in 1920, Yun Yu is Puyi's sixth sister, and it can be said that she is the happiest of the seven daughters, except for the seven daughters Yun Huan. She was not married by Puyi like her sisters, but she had her own love.
Because she liked pictures since she was a child, and because as a royal family, she had the opportunity to access famous paintings from generation to generation, so she was very good at painting. After the founding of New China, he became a painter, and soon became acquainted with her husband Wang Ailan because of his paintings, and had a son and four daughters after marriage.
With the unique painting style of "unique, light and elegant, and rich in business", she became a famous female painter at that time, and also became a member of the China Artists Association. After that, Yun Yu and Wang Ailan lived happily for more than 60 years. In 1982, Yun Yu died of illness at the age of 64.
Seven female Yun Huan
Yun Huan was born in 1921 to the side Fujin Deng Jia clan. In 1928, Yun Huan moved to Tianjin with Puyi, and the following year followed Pu Ren and his sixth sister Yun Yu to study at the Yew Wah School run by the Church of England in Tianjin.
Yun Huan is arguably the most prominent of the seven daughters, she was the first royal to open a school, in 1948 Yun Huan and her friends in Beijing jointly founded the Jianzhi Girls' Vocational School. He was the first royal to marry a commoner, and in 1949 he married Qiao Hongzhi freely and in love. In addition to Puyi, he was the second Qing Dynasty royal family to be buried in Babaoshan, and yun Huan died of illness in 2004 at the age of 83, and was buried in Babaoshan after his death.
It can be said that Puyi's seven sisters, in addition to the early death of the eldest daughter Yun, the remaining six daughters were more bumpy in the first half of their lives, because of Puyi's relationship, they have all lived a turbulent and displaced life. However, in the second half of their lives, with the founding of New China, with the help of the government, although they could not live the glory and wealth of the past, they could live in peace and security, or as officials, or teachers, or painters, or workers, and finally lived the life they wanted.
