"It's almost over, it's almost over."
Puyi, the last emperor of China's historical dynasty, has been adapted into film and television works many times because of his unique and dramatic life experience, of which "The Last Emperor" is one of the best, and until now it is also the best in historical films.
At the end of the movie, Puyi in his later years came to his former home, the Forbidden City, but this time was different, he needed to buy a ticket to enter, he looked at the dusk of the Forbidden City, this scene he watched many times when he was a child, but this time he came with the identity of a tourist, and there was some loneliness in his heart.
It is said that there is such a rumor that when Puyi accidentally went to the Forbidden City in his later years, he found an "old man" who had a festival, and Puyi was immediately frightened, but the old man smiled at him: Don't be afraid, don't kill you.
Although this is a rumor, if you say the name of this old man, this rumor really has some credibility, he is General Lu Zhonglin, the general who once expelled Puyi from the Forbidden City.
Looking back on Puyi's life, no one does not sigh: Puyi's life is a series of tragedies, confirming the sentence "Don't be worse than me, I am more miserable than you." ”
One winter night in 1908, Guangxu died, puyi was only 3 years old, puyi was admitted to the palace, Puyi granted Cixi the meaning of the emperor, but at that time the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Puyi this emperor is only the emperor of the Forbidden City, outside the palace is no longer the world of the Qing Dynasty.
Time flickered to 1924, Lu Zhonglin came to the Forbidden City with the army, and said to Puyi in a menacing manner, asking Puyi to leave the Forbidden City within 2 hours, and no longer use the name of the emperor, at this time Puyi had no conditions at all to say "no", and could only leave the Forbidden City at the mercy of others, which was also the first time he had left the Forbidden City since entering the palace.
Lu Zhonglin also said to Puyi that after going out, he must not call himself the emperor, otherwise he will let you eat the gun, this is the first time Puyi feels that the life of the Qing Dynasty has been so weak, and then Puyi began to turbulent the second half of his life, but unfortunately, fate still joked with him.
Puyi first claimed the emperor in puppet Manchuria, he naively thought that the Japanese seemed to help him complete the restoration, but unexpectedly found that the Japanese were just using him as a pawn to invade China, and finally in 1950 he was imprisoned, puyi who had been served for a lifetime, could not take care of himself in prison, fell from the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to a prisoner, and this life had to be described only as a tragedy.
After being released from prison, Puyi received his household registration book, replaced by the citizen Ai Xinjue Luo Puyi, there is no longer emperor Xuantong in the world, and then Puyi learned florist art in prison, became an ordinary florist, and married a nurse, this nurse is Li Shuxian.
It is worth saying that when Puyi saw Lu Zhonglin, that familiar sense of fear came again, for a moment and a half he did not know what to say, who knew that Lu Zhonglin, who had fought as a soldier, had a very bold temperament, and at a glance he saw the doubts in Puyi's heart, and he laughed and said: Don't be afraid, I will not kill you. After saying that, both of them laughed, like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
Meet a smile and a vendetta of the two people, the two have said and laughed, but also took a photo, after all, both are people with a pattern, the changes in the world are not what they can influence, now both are part of China, look forward to tomorrow, is the right way.
After all, in the long river of history, some people are destined to shine, some people are destined to fade slowly in the torrent, and if the stories left to future generations can give them some enlightenment and thinking, it is enough.
