Speaking of Puyi, we must all be familiar with him. At the age of three, he was brought into the palace by Cixi and became emperor, which made his life full of tragedies. Soon he was forced to abdicate. Later, he became a puppet of Japan and a war criminal. In the end, he was released and became an ordinary person. He married Li Shuxian and lived an ordinary life.
After his special release, he was assigned to work at the Botanical Garden. At the age of 53, he wanted to spend his old age with his wife, but he did not expect to die of illness at the age of 61. At that time, after various treatments, it was useless, and she eventually died. This disease is uremia, why did Puyi get this disease? It started with a bad habit he had for years.
We all know that in the ancient feudal society, people believed in traditional Chinese medicine, and Puyi was no exception, especially interested in various tonics. It is said that her marriage to Lee Shu-hyun at that time was largely due to the fact that she was a nurse who was able to take care of herself. Because Puyi grew up in the deep palace and often spent time with the palace women, this led to Puyi's physical weakness.
There were imperial doctors in the court who specialized in conditioning the body, and Puyi was convinced of the health care methods of Traditional Chinese medicine and often sought out imperial doctors to prescribe medicines. Even after the end of the Qing Dynasty, when he went to Manchuria to become emperor, he still maintained this habit. According to the eunuchs in the palace, he set up many Chinese medicine pharmacies in the palace at that time and ordered the production of many health care products. The most he eats every day is a tonic.
Later, after starting a family with Li Shuxian, he still did not change this habit. After all, it wasn't easy for him to change the habit. Although he was no longer emperor, he had a good relationship with the imperial physician who was still in the palace. He often came to the door and asked them to prescribe him various tonics, and then when he had nothing to do at home, he would make it himself and eat it.
As long as it is a medicine, there are three points of poison, so excessive use will bring a certain burden to the kidneys, and their immunity is worse than that of ordinary people. In addition, he has been in a state of extreme depression for a long time, and his dramatic life is not something that ordinary people can endure. All of this could lead to his kidney failure.
In 1965, he had his left kidney removed from uremia. Later, he continued to take tonics. Soon, something went wrong with his right kidney. At this time, he did not believe in Western medicine. Just like that, because he didn't cooperate with the treatment, there was no medicine to cure it. Eventually, he died of uremia. When he was dying, he was still crying for river car pills, and at this time, he had not forgotten to eat health supplements. It can be said that his life was very bumpy, and he eventually died in the pain of illness, which is really regrettable.
