Review
In the city of Beijing in October 1967, the autumn leaves of Xiangshan had begun to drift to zero, and there was a bit of autumn depression in the wind, and in the special care ward of the Capital Hospital, an old man who was recovering from his old age was struggling to support him.
The aminophylline that has just been beaten has not played much effect, the old man just supports his sick body that is almost exhausted by will, and the leaves outside the window have been blown off, and the old man is indifferent.
Chaotic drifting with the wind, floating and heavy tossing and turning, with his golden branches and jade leaves, he will also be blown by the wind and fall on the visible land, which is also a destination.
The silence of the ward was finally broken by the sound of the door opening, and an old man who looked similar to his age walked in, and the old man on the bed could no longer make a clear sound.
The two old men pinned their excitement at meeting each other and their reluctance to say goodbye to each other's hands tightly clasped.
The old man in the hospital bed slowly closed his eyes with tears, and the clock stayed at 2:30 a.m.
Soon, the news was released that the last emperor of China's feudal dynasty was also a citizen of the People's Republic of China.
Ai Xinjue Luo Puyi, due to uremia, died at 2:30 a.m. on October 17, 1967 at the Capital Hospital.
The last emperor, who was dragged to the throne when he was ignorant, also fluctuated in the wind and rain of the chaotic world, continuing the tragic fate that he could not escape, and finally realized a new life, making his tragic life also have a period of happiness and stability.
Before he died, he struggled to support who was the person who wanted to see the last side? But the person he loved all his life? In fact, it is not, but that person has experienced half a life like him, and has also accompanied him through most of his life, he is Puyi's half-brother, who loves The new Jue Luo Pujie. If you use one sentence to summarize the lives of the two brothers of Puyi Pujie, it is,
Half-life monarch, brother of the first generation.
Puyi and Pujie
Accompanied by monarchs in the Forbidden City
In 1909, at the age of three, Puyi was held on the throne of the Qing Dynasty. In 1911, the Qing Emperor Puyi abdicated. But everything is far from over, Puyi, who has lost the title of emperor, still lives in the Forbidden City, still lives in the environment where feudal ideas are solidified, and still affects the restless ambitions of the Manchu Qing nobles.
Puyi
In 1916, under the arrangement of the Restoration Party, Puyi's brother, Pujie, who was only one year younger than Puyi, got on a carriage to the Forbidden City, and in the mind of the young Pujie, this trip was to visit the emperor's brother, whom he had hardly met, and play with him, but the cruel reality gave him a deep memory.
Pu Jie once recorded in his autobiography that when Pu Yi found that Pu Jie's sleeve lining was yellow, he started a temper tantrum.
Because yellow is only available to the emperor,
There is no joy in the words when brothers meet.
The young Pujie's unfamiliarity with the courtesy of the monarch did cause Puyi's dissatisfaction, and the feudal system of the monarchical hierarchy was like a mountain, straddling the two brothers, isolating the lives of the two compatriots.
In 1920, the 13-year-old Pujie officially moved into the Forbidden City and became Puyi's companion, and for the next 5 years Pujie accompanied his brother every day, accompanying him to learn the words of the sages and the way of governing the country, but their brotherly feelings not only did not increase day by day, but were more and more solidified by the etiquette of the monarch.
But as the closest companion and follower around Puyi, Pujie actively supported his brother's ideas and ideas, in order to help his brother achieve the dream of studying abroad, Pujie went to the palace inside and outside the palace, prepared funds for Puyi, and also wrote in his memoirs that his appreciation of cultural relics and treasures was exercised at that time, although in the end Puyi's dream of studying abroad was in vain, but
In those turbulent years, this unconditional support and companionship was also extremely precious.
The brotherly divide that comes with transnational marriages
On November 5, 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup d'état in Beijing, driving the Ai XinJueluo family out of the Forbidden City, Puyi naturally left in a hurry, and in the midst of the displacement, Pujie did not give up his support for his brother.
He wanted to join the army, to cultivate an army that could defend his brother.
The young Pujie originally wanted to go north to attend Zhang Xueliang's lecture hall, but was severely stopped by Puyi, who was bent on restoring the imperial system at that time, the stubborn Puyi obviously had no good feelings for the Zhang father and son in Fengtian, and under the operation of the Japanese, in March 1929, Pujie took the expectations of his brother Puyi to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School to study military affairs, the two are at this moment insurmountable monarchs, but also brothers who trust each other in the chaotic world.
In 1931, the 918 Incident broke out, and in order to realize its ambition to split China, Japan supported Puyi to establish a puppet manchukuo in the northeast region, Puyi once again became the emperor with a title, and Pujie also held an important position in the puppet Manchu government.
The ambitions of the Japanese people are constantly growing, and when they find that there is no Puyi fertility, they turn their attention to Pujie, so when Pujie went to Japan for the second time to study military affairs,
The Japanese militarists tried their best to match Pu Jie with the daughter of the Japanese imperial in-law Saga family, Saga Hiroshi,
And extended the black hand to the inheritance law, hoping that it could be done
Children of Japanese descent inherit the puppet Manchu regime
。
Pu Jie and Saga Hao
The love between Pu Jie and Saga Hao was widely praised by later generations, and Pu Jie, who fell in love at that time, insisted on his own opinion for the first time.
Puyi did not want his brother to marry the Japanese,
He was furious about this, but under the pressure of the Japanese and Pu Jie's insistence, he could only agree in the end.
Puyi's inner anger and worry, this transnational marriage also caused the two brothers to break up, during that time, Puyi often angered Pujie because of small things,
Trust between brothers is also left in this succession crisis
With the successful birth of the girl by Saga Hao, Puyi's puppet crisis has not been lifted, but the unjust war launched by Japan will eventually come to an end.
As the Japanese began to decline, Puyi also fell into deep trepidation, his temper began to become grumpy, and Pujie became a regular pump. The brothers faced a great crisis.
The true feelings of suffering in the war criminals management center
In early 1945, with the further development of the All-People War of Resistance, the puppet state of Manchukuo, which had an empty name, soon collapsed. The Japanese Kwantung Army had no resistance to the Soviet attack, and Yoshioka Yasuno, who had always flaunted his might, was like a dog that had lost his family at this time, and Puyi and Pujie also clearly realized that the Japanese were gone and were now embattled.
At the moment of crisis, Pu Jie made a difficult decision, he did not go with his beloved wife and daughter, but resolutely chose to accompany his brother, and then the plane on which the two were riding was intercepted by the Soviet army.
In 1950, Puyi, Pujie and others were sent by the Soviet Union to serve their sentences at the Fushun War Criminals Management Center in China. Puyi, who has been an emperor since childhood, has been accustomed to being served, and self-care and labor cannot be carried out normally, and once wanted to commit suicide, yes
Pu Jie, with the help of the administrator, helped guide Puyi to learn and transform step by step from self-care ability to labor execution ability.
Pu Jie's inseparability and true affection for his brother made Puyi deeply touched, and the suspicion of several years of estrangement was released at this moment.
Puyi, who was reborn in labor, also had a great change in his thinking, and Pujie and Puyi, who had reached the age of confusion, were commensurate with each other for the first time, from the Forbidden City to Xinjing, from Xinjing to the Soviet Union to Fushun, they were finally no longer hierarchical monarchs, but a pair
True brothers who support each other in times of affliction
Puyi's happy time in his later years
In 1959, Puyi was pardoned, and a year later, Pujie was also pardoned. The two officially became citizens of the People's Republic of China. Through a thousand sails, through the waves. The two brothers were finally reunited. The long-lost family affection is now back, making them cherish the joy of this gathering together even more.
Under the care of Premier Zhou, Pujie and Saga Hao, a couple separated for 16 years, were finally reunited, and at this time, Puyi also fully accepted the Japanese sister-in-law. After Pujie and his wife moved to their new home at No. 52 Huguo Temple, Puyi would come to meet them every three or five minutes, and a piece of perilla in the garden was specially planted by Pujie and his wife.
The family is happy and harmonious in the small courtyard, gathering and drinking to enjoy the moon, happiness and satisfaction overflowing on everyone's face,
Puyi, who was half-life adrift and half-tragic, also spent a happy time of happiness in his old age.
