The last empress dowager. Wanrong's later years were miserable, especially when Puyi fled in August 1945, she was left unattended and abandoned by Puyi. She was transported to Tonghua, Changchun, Yongji, Dunhua, and Yanji, and finally died in prison in Yanji, Jilin Province, around June 10, 1946 (see Saga Hao's memoirs) or in late August (then newspaper records).
Hualong Cemetery at the foot of Yongning Mountain, 15 kilometers west of Lianggezhuang, Yi County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, is also home to the Qing Dynasty Mausoleum. The Qing Dynasty Tombs were first built by Yongzheng and were once as important as the Qing Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum. Later, Puyi, Tan Yuling, WanRong and so on were also buried here.
The tombs of Tan Yuling, Puyi, WanRong, etc. in hualong cemetery.
Wanrong's tomb in Hualong Cemetery, the tombstone carved a broken phoenix, may symbolize the imperfect life of Wanrong. In 2006, when Wanrong was repairing the tomb, she couldn't even find a piece of Wanrong's clothes, so she had to put a photo instead of Wanrong's real body. And in the form of summoning spirits, Wanrong was "invited" from Yanji, Jilin Province.
Jilin Yanbian Dunhua Liudingshan Wanrong Tomb, a commemorative tomb built for Wanrong in 1994. The barren grass is buried, simple and shabby, and the tomb mound is a loess mound, 1 meter high. Maybe it is symbolic: "A pile of grass in the desert is gone", "a letter in the blink of an eye".
Another tomb of Wanrong, which is also empty, replaces the real body with photos to express people's wishes. The photo on the tombstone is a photograph of WanRong's imperial dress when she entered the palace. After Wanrong's death, she was thrown into the barren mountains and wild mountains, which is the place where the ancient saying was that there was no place for death. According to speculation, the bones were probably eaten by wild beasts. Because after several decades, the relics are gone, and it is difficult to destroy the tomb repairers, so they can only repair the tomb for them.
