We all know that in 1912, with the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty issued an abdication edict. The complete collapse of the Qing Dynasty also marked the end of more than 2,000 years of feudal rule in China. The Qing Dynasty was destroyed, but what happened to the original royal blood relatives, princes and nobles? I think everyone must be very curious, today we are going to talk about this is the last princess of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - Ai Xinjue Luo Xianqi.
Ai Xin Jue Luo Xianqi was born in the Forbidden City in 1918, but the Qing Dynasty was already extinct in 1912. Because of the agreement of the "Royal Preferential Conditions" at that time, the royal nobles at that time still enjoyed the treatment they should have. Aisin Kyora Xianqi's father was Prince Su Shanqi, so her status was still that of a princess. And the last emperor of the late Qing Dynasty, Puyi, was also her uncle.
Ai Xinjue Luo Xianqi was the youngest daughter of Prince Su and was loved by her father since childhood. However, her father was not willing to let the Qing Dynasty collapse in this way, and was bent on restoring the Qing Dynasty, and finally cooperated with the Japanese. However, the trend of the times, how easy it was to rebuild a new dynasty, Prince Su died not long after, when Ai Xinjue luo Xianqi was only four years old.
Her mother had died when she was very young, and now her father has passed away. The loss of her parents at the age of four was too cruel for her. Fortunately, Prince Su had already made arrangements before his death, arranging for Ai Xinjue Luo Xianqi to be taken care of by her sister, so although she lost her parents, she still had three sisters who loved her, and her childhood was still quite happy, and she was still treated as a gege.
Under the care of her three sisters, Ai Xinjue Luo Xianqi enjoyed the treatment of a princess and spent her childhood. "Lu Yu has a date" invited her in a show, and in an interview, she recalled when she was a child: "The current TV series can not perform the scene at that time, you can't imagine how high the royal treatment is, everything in life is taken care of very well." She also corrected to us that in Manchu customs, gege was pronounced the same as that of her brother. When she reached school age, Xianqi went to school in Japan, where she lived until 1937.
Later, in 1937, Japan's ambitions were exposed, and the two sides officially went to war. Ai Xinjue Luo Xianqi was also sent back to China. After growing up, Xianqi finally returned to his relatives, but after receiving western education, Xianqi underwent earth-shaking changes in his thinking. She no longer accepts traditional customs and dogmas, and she prefers a life of unfetteredness. This also made relatives who still retained the tradition feel headaches and difficult to accept for a while.
The biggest headache is that it wasn't long after I got home. Xianqi clamored to go out to work, which was simply rebellious in the royal family at that time. How can a noble royal family go to work on the street, which is even more contrary to the bottom line of the older generation of the family. It is believed that Xianqi is deviant and damages the image of the royal family. In the end, under the pressure of the family elders, Xianqi had to dispel the idea of becoming an actor and a journalist.
However, once a person's thinking has changed, he will no longer be bound by the world. Although the elders gave her unlimited pressure, she could cope with it on the surface, and the elders loved the youngest of them very much. Therefore, it did not take long for Xianqi to work in a department store in private.
Gradually, Xianqi also made a lot of money because of his work, but he was used to pampering himself from a young age, and every shot was extravagant. So the money earned from each job is not as much as she spends, plus she has a cheerful personality and likes to make friends. So every time I warmly entertain my friends, I always record it on my own account afterwards. In the end, the monthly work turned out to be negative.
In 1949, New China was founded. As brothers and sisters of the Manchu remnants, they were afraid of being punished by the new regime. Obviously their anxiety is superfluous. But at that time, everything was unknown, and they had already died once, and they had a certain psychological shadow for the new regime. Therefore, most of Xianqi's brothers and sisters ran away to live abroad in a panic.
After the brothers left, the big family lost many financial resources, and for a time, the originally superior life became difficult, and Xianqi also felt the burden of life. I changed my previous appearance of pampering and pampering, for the sake of my family's livelihood, I sold my favorite clothes and jewelry, and even learned to knit sweaters to earn money. But the survival of the family remains a problem.
Later, after the brothers learned of the family's situation, they often sent some money to the family. The family is also gradually getting better, but this is not a long-term solution. Xianqi also realized this problem and began to try to do business. It was also at this time that Xianqi discovered her own correct path, and she had an amazing talent for business. After her observation, she found that there are many Sichuanese living in Beijing, and people know that Sichuan's most famous Sichuan cuisine, Sichuanese who have lived in Beijing for a long time will naturally miss the taste of their hometown. She herself is very fond of Sichuan cuisine, so she opened a Sichuan restaurant in beijing. At once, it attracted many Sichuan people to patronize, and Xianqi also made a lot of money.
But accidents are always caught off guard, and it wasn't long before the state didn't allow it, the enterprise was privatized, and Xianqi's Sichuan restaurant was thus publicly owned, and Xianqi suddenly lost the doorway to make money. But as long as the mind is still there, there must be a chance. After losing the Sichuan restaurant, it wasn't long before Xianqi found a job as a compiler.
At this point, the work was stabilized, but Xianqi had not considered marriage because he had been busy making a living. At the age of 36, he had his own small family and completed the wedding with the painter Ma Wanli. This wedding is very precious in Xianqi's eyes, she often said: "If in the past, as a Gege, I would eventually become a victim of politics, a tool to complete the political marriage, this wedding is really wonderful." ”
After the two lived a peaceful life, Xianqi was caught in prison by his sister, and divorced him in order not to affect her husband Ma Wanli. After being released from prison, he went to the farm to renovate. After these difficult years,
Xianqi was assigned to work in a museum of literature and history. At the age of 76, it was supposed to be retirement age. However, she still did not forget that she still had the strength to contribute to the motherland, so she founded the Japanese Language School and later the Oriental University Town.
In 2014, the 95-year-old Xianqi ended his busy life and left peacefully. Ended his wonderful life.
