It is said that the times create heroes, but in the chaotic world, not all of them are tyrants, but more unlucky eggs. The last emperor of China, Ai Xinjueluo Puyi, can be said to be the most hasty and helpless of the Qing Dynasty in this chaotic era. When he was not familiar with the world, he was sent to the throne, and after a few days of being emperor, he inexplicably stepped down. Everyone can accept from low to high, but falling from a high place is indeed a fact that no one wants to accept. Puyi was once the head of a country, and after stepping down, he was scolded as "the king of the country", and this taste must only be experienced by Puyi himself.
Therefore, Puyi will be used by the Japanese later, in fact, it is not very consistent with his original intention, and it is forced by the general trend. In his youth, Puyi, at the instigation of the qing dynasty elders, wanted to revitalize the Manchu Qing. Later, many people scolded him for not being able to see the situation clearly, but from his point of view, as the former head of a country in the Qing Dynasty, before he had time to make any efforts for his own country, the country would perish, who could be willing? Maybe he still has a fluke mentality, maybe under my rule, the Qing Dynasty can be revived? Unfortunately, Puyi's psychology was used by the Japanese.
Because of the pseudo-Manchukuo, Puyi was scolded by many people as traitors, but I don't know if anyone noticed that Puyi was enthusiastic when he later testified against the Japanese. It can be said that it was the eight days of Puyi's life, the most grandfather. At the 1946 Tokyo Trial, Puyi appeared as a witness. In court, he spoke in fluent English throughout the entire trial, logically enumerating the crimes of the Japanese emperor for eight days. In these eight days, people saw an emperor from an aristocratic background, who had received a high education, whose every move was very decent, and more importantly, his patriotism was not lost in the chaotic world.
Puyi gave many people the impression that he was a puppet, a puppet of the empress dowager during his reign, and a puppet of Japan after he stepped down. But in that chaotic world, Puyi was at best a leaf in a fierce wind, unable to help himself. To tell the truth, the first half of Puyi's life can be said to be even more bumpy than the Guangxu Emperor. The gap from the highest to the lowest is not something that anyone can bear. Puyi once laughed at himself with his friends, once the Forbidden City was his home, and now he has to buy tickets when he returns to "his own home". There are many interesting anecdotes about the last emperor, once he went to the Forbidden City and found that the photo hanging at the head of the bed was wrong, and after he raised it to the staff, the staff taunted: "What do you know?" Puyi was angry, he said: "That's my father, can I not know?" ”
