"Jiangnan Jialidi, Jinling Imperial State." For five thousand years, There are thousands of ming emperors who have made outstanding contributions to the country, just like Yongzheng, and there are also mediocre monarchs who have brought down the dynasty, just like Liu Chan. Their deeds, whether celebrated or controversial, have become indelible psalms in history.
Puyi was taken into the palace by Empress Dowager Cixi in 1908 and succeeded the childless Guangxu Emperor as Emperor Xuantong.
But Puyi was only three years old, not only could not govern the country, but even his own life could not be solved, and he did not have any actual power in his hands. Puyi's wife recalled:
Puyi had been shouting river car pills before concord died, what was the river car pill for?
After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, Puyi became a weed in people's eyes.
In 1911, the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Puyi, under the suppression of Yuan Shikai, stepped down from the throne, and Puyi's four-year career as emperor ended. After that, Puyi still lived in the Forbidden City, enjoying the honorific title of the emperor and the financial subsidies of the warlords, but did not have any real power, which made him feel extremely boring.
Since Puyi was forbidden to leave the palace, outsiders were not qualified to enter the palace, and the only people who accompanied him all day were palace women and eunuchs.
The eunuchs were always good at estimating the changes in the situation, and they did not care about Puyi, because there was no one to protect them, and the emperor without real power had no effect on them.
The situation in the Qing Dynasty was turbulent, and the palace ladies had nowhere to go.
Therefore, the palace ladies turned their eyes to Puyi, the only remaining little man in the palace.
In Puyi's recollection, eunuchs and palace ladies often went to tease him, and his life lost its normal trajectory.
Ten-year-old children, arrived in the adult world early, and Puyi, an adult, suffered from an indescribable disease.
Puyi can no longer look at the affairs of men and women with healthy and normal eyes.
However, Puyi is still the emperor after all, he has to marry and have children, continue the royal bloodline, she has many concubines, among which the well-known is Empress Wanrong.
Empress Wanrong loved Puyi fiercely, but Puyi always disagreed, which was also related to the evasion of men and women in his heart.
After that, Puyi was completely expelled from the capital, he thought that he was going to start an ordinary life, who knows, he became a pawn in the hands of the Japanese.
The Japanese wanted to occupy a part of the power in China, so they used Puyi to fulfill their daydreams. The development trend of any country is jointly driven by a variety of historical factors.
The backwardness of the Qing Dynasty doomed them to decline and perish.
The Red Army captured Puyi, and Puyi went from being a pawn to a person who lived in a prison cell. In 1950, Puyi ended his 5-year captivity and returned to the motherland. In fact, he had thought that his life was going to come to an end like this, but he did not expect to be imprisoned in Fushun's war criminal management office and undergo labor reform. In the labor reform institute, no one took good care of him at all.
All the trivial matters of life can only be handled by him alone, and for Puyi, this is an important turning point in his life.
Puyi was pardoned and released from prison in December 1959 at the age of 54.
At more than half a hundred years old, he has experienced almost all the hardships of the world, whether physical or mental. Perhaps in order to add some good memories to his future life, Puyi is determined to continue to find his lover.
Some people knew Puyi's wishes in his later years and treated Puyi in order to solve his unspeakable secrets.
Under the careful treatment of the Chinese medicine name Pu Fuzhou, Puyi's physical condition is getting better and better.
And he finally found a partner Li Shuxian who can accompany him all his life, unfortunately Puyi's early deficit body has not been properly conditioned, in 1965, he removed his left kidney with cancer, and due to the decline of internal organ function again suffered from uremia, Puyi has no hope of having his own offspring.
Pu Fuzhou later opened a blind call for Puyi "Purple River Car"
The Chinese medicine is to be crushed into a powdered object, mixed with other Chinese medicines, and then made into the "River Car Pill" this medicine. River car pills can alleviate Puyi's illness to a great extent, so Puyi is very grateful to Pu Fuzhou. In 1967, Puyi entered the Union Hospital accompanied by his wife Li Shuxian, and this time he was unable to overcome the disease and closed his eyes forever.
At the time of dying, Puyi painfully squeezed out the three words from his lips: "River Car Pill", trying to alleviate his pain.
Puyi's life as an emperor was obviously full of misfortune, only four years from the ascension to the throne to abdication, after which he became a pawn in the hands of the Japanese, and was imprisoned for a full 5 years, and then underwent labor reform and suffered. Puyi did not have the aura of an emperor for most of his life, but was just an ordinary person with ill-fated fate.
But Puyi can bid farewell to his honorable status and give up the delusion of restoration, living in the world as an ordinary person, and bravely chasing his love in his later years may also be regarded as a kind of progress.
