Wanrong died tragically, and now she can't even find the cemetery, but she left a famous relic
The last empress, WanRong, was a tragic figure who entered the palace as a concubine at the age of ignorant flowers. I thought that once I was with the king's side, there would be people who loved and some people who would pity, and there would be endless glory and endless wealth. But fate played a big joke on her, and she was not only greeted by the dignity of the Mother of the Nation, but also alone in an empty room, lonely and cold. He even lost his minimum of freedom, and in the end he almost went mad and died tragically.
So, how did Wanrong die? Where was she finally buried?
(Wan Rong and PuYi)
In 1922, Puyi, who was preparing for a big wedding, casually drew a circle on Wanrong's name, completely destroying her life's happiness. Although Wanrong is not a country and a city, she is also a beautiful face, and it can be called everyone's bridesmaid. She studied at an American church school and not only understands English, loves music, but is also familiar with Western etiquette and has an enlightened new mind.
Originally, Wanrong had already talked about marriage, and her father Rongyuan planned to marry her to the son of his friend, but unexpectedly the title of concubine fell out of thin air. Desperate, Wanrong had no choice but to obey her father's orders and enter the palace as a concubine. On the first night after entering the palace, Puyi walked to the door of the Chuxiu Palace, was overwhelmed by the red of the room, simply returned to the house, and stayed in the Yangxin Hall, leaving the bride Wanrong, who was alone in the empty room, to wash her face with tears.
Two years later, before the empress dowager could sit on the hot throne, she was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang and became a mortal, living a life of hiding in Tibet and being displaced. Or in the Palace of prince alcohol, or in the Japanese concession of Tianjin, such a day is a full 9 years.
During this period, the brave Wen Xiu launched the "Daofei Revolution" and sued Puyi in court, accusing him of physical illness. After 9 years of marriage, he was not lucky, but was abused, filed for divorce, and asked for alimony of 500,000 yuan. In the end, Wen Xiu successfully escaped the cage and gained freedom. The submissive Grace chose to be patient. This forbearance doomed her to the ultimate tragic end.
During this period, Puyi was not idle, although the matter of wen embroidery made him lose face, which was equivalent to stripping him naked in front of the countrymen. But Puyi still quickly recovered and restarted the dream of the emperor. He not only moved to the Japanese Concession, but also frequently interacted with the Japanese under the influence of Zheng Xiaoxu, Luo Zhenyu and others. He tried to rely on the power of the Japanese to re-ascend to the throne of the emperor.

In November 1931, under the protection of Japanese agents, Puyi sneaked from Tianjin to Fengtian via Lushun and became a puppet of the puppet state of Manchukuo. Two months later, Wanrong was also secretly picked up by the Japanese female agent Yoshiko Kawashima and came to Puyi's side.
In the days of Changchun, Under the close surveillance of the Japanese, Wanrong only did two things in total, one was to cooperate with the guards Li Tiyu and Qi Jizhong, and the other was to become addicted to smoking. This made Puyi, who was already disgusted with her even more, and from then on, he completely beat her into the cold palace and imprisoned her for life.
In this way, Wanrong spent nearly 10 years of lonely and miserable days in an empty room in the Jixi Building. She could only rely on opium to anesthetize herself, and all day long she was covered in a shawl and disheveled face, and the once dignified and beautiful young girl became a crazy and crazy complaining woman, smashing things all day long, and cursing her father and Puyi.
Finally at the end of the Japanese devil's road, Puyi, under the hostage of the Japanese, lifted Wanrong out of the cage and began a hasty escape journey.
On August 11, Puyi and his party of more than 60 people took a train from Changchun to Dalizigou in Linjiang County, Jilin Province. On August 15, when the Japanese announced their surrender, Puyi also had to announce his "abdication", and Wanrong once again became an ordinary citizen.
Two days later, Puyi left Wanrong, took only a few retinues and the most valuable items, and set off for Japan. However, he did not want to fall into the hands of the Soviets at Shenyang Airport, and from then on he went into exile in the Soviet Union, leaving a few people resigned to their fate.
After the Japanese fled the northeast in a hurry, the Soviet Red Army handed over WanRong and his party to the Northeast Democratic United Army.

In 1946, the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army took Wanrong and several people everywhere, from Changchun to the Detention Center of the Jilin City Public Security Bureau, the Jilin Prison, and all the way to Yanji.
On May 24, Wanrong was pulled by a military truck to Yanji Prison and imprisoned. Also accompanying him were Puyi's Japanese wife Saga Hao, as well as Puyi's relatives and nephews.
On June 10, the team prepared to transfer WanRong and his party to Jiamusi again. But by this time she was terminally ill, bedridden, unable to withstand the bumps and turns on the road and unable to make the trip. As a result, the team had to keep her in Yanji Prison.
WanRong in prison was placed in a bunk bed, often rolling from the bed to the cold cement floor, motionless like a dead man. The meals brought by the guards were hardly eaten by Wanrong.
Only after the onset of opium addiction will Wanrong shout, roll on the ground, and even use her head to bump against the wall. Years of repression and opium anesthesia had left her insane and delirious. Later, Wanrong was even incontinent.
At this time, Wanrong's body was dirty and smelly, and the smell in the prison was stinking. The kind Saga Hiroshi repeatedly pleaded with the prison director to approve her to clean up wanrong, change her clothes and pants, and coax her to eat a few bites of food.
In the early morning of June 20, 1946, while patrolling, the prison guards found that wanrong, who had described herself as withered and emaciated, had died for a long time and her body had stiffened. Before her death, Wanrong had no one around, and she walked alone and miserable at the age of 41.
Subsequently, a platoon leader surnamed Zhang led his men to find a straw mat, wrapped Wanrong's body, and carried it away with a door panel. Wanrong's body was very light, only about 60 pounds when she died, and two warriors easily carried her to Nanshan in Yanji City, found a flat place to dig a pit to bury her, and piled a small grave for her.
Wanrong's funeral had no eulogies, wreaths, tombstones, no friends and relatives, or even a coffin. Now, the little grave was long gone, and the only relic she had left for the world was a brass-colored smoking gun.
