A photograph of the last empress, Wanrong, married in 1922, when she and the last emperor Puyi were both minors. The ignorant girl did not know the cruelty of life in the palace and what would be the end that would greet her.
WanRong and Duan Kang. Wanrong honored the concubine as a mother, it was the princess who supported her to marry into the palace, when the concubine was alive, Wanrong had a patron, Puyi had great respect for Wanrong, and Wanrong enjoyed the feeling of empress.
The princess was still at the time of Wanrong and Puyi. At this time, Puyi also disregarded any family law, let Wanrong play, and even often lit cigarettes for Wanrong himself. However, later, when Puyi was expelled from the palace in 1924, he truly felt that he needed power, and he became full of thoughts to restore the Great Qing Thought.
Gentle grace. When Wan Rong was living in Tianjin, she began to be seriously dissatisfied with Puyi, because Puyi never let her sleep, and she was the fallen emperor who lost the Forbidden City. At this time, Wanrong began to smoke opium, using opium to make up for Puyi's physical deficiencies, and Puyi also let her suck. Even Wanrong's father, Rong Yuan, thought that there was nothing wrong with smoking opium, and there were too many people smoking opium at that time.
Wan Rong is in Jingshan. After smoking opium, Wanrong could not control herself at all, and many "internal government fine water accounts" recorded that Wanrong smoked two opiums a day. In the late period of puppet Manchukuo, Wanrong could not move her legs and her teeth were rotten.
Grace. Under the paralysis of opium, Wanrong often "dreamed and was confused, and her spirit was wandering", and she was unclear with the bodyguard Li Tiyu. According to Li Guoxiong's recollection, Wanrong sometimes did not close the door, and Puyi had few eunuchs around him, so he had to let the guards pass on the edict to Wanrong, and Li Tiyu was particularly willing to do this errand, because he could see Wanrong.
Wanrong (left). Wanrong eventually had a child with the guards, but this increased Puyi's malice towards her, and Puyi locked her up, in addition to letting her eat, to provide her with opium. Wanrong does three things every day: sleep, smoke opium, and eat. So later, both legs could not move, and the teeth were rotten.
Her eyes seemed to indict the injustice that creation had done to her. After Wanrong's illegitimate son was thrown into the furnace by Puyi, he was desperate. But puyi, under the manipulation of the Japanese, did not dare to completely abandon Wanrong. Later, after the defeat of Japan in 1945, Wanrong escaped with Puyi, and because her legs were not good, she pulled Puyi's hind legs, was abandoned by Puyi, and ordered Runqi and others not to carry Wanrong.
