The last princess of the Qing Dynasty, when she died in 2004, said what her brother Puyi did not dare to say
Puyi's family, everyone talks about things, especially after "The Last Emperor" became an Oscar winner. Puyi ascended the throne at the age of 3 and abdicated at the age of 6, was expelled from the Forbidden City at the age of 18, went to the puppet state of Manchukuo at the age of 30 as a traitor emperor, and after the founding of New China, he completed the gorgeous turn from the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to the citizens of new China.
Puyi's family is undoubtedly the most prominent family at the beginning of the last century. During the Gengzi rebellion, the Boxers killed the German minister Clyde, and Puyi's father Zaifeng went to Germany alone to apologize, which became the beginning of Puyi's family's political stage. After returning to China, Zaifeng married Ronglu's daughter Guarjia, and then had the eldest son Puyi. Later, the family grew larger, puyi successively had 2 younger brothers named Pujie and Puren, and 7 younger sisters named Yun, Yun, Yunying, Yunxian, Yunxin, Yunyu, and Yunhuan.
Puyi's sister has a yun in her name, which is pronounced the same as "rhyme". The most famous person in history who uses this word should be Xie An's niece in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's daughter-in-law and famous female poet Xie Daoyun. Zaifeng named his daughters with a word, I am afraid that I hope that my daughters can learn Xie Daoyun to become a generation of talented women. Because, when the eldest daughter Yun was born, Puyi had already abdicated for more than a year.
After unloading the burden of the regent, Zaifeng finally realized his father Yizhen's "family is also big, the karma is also big, and the misfortune of the descendants is also the greatest." From then on, he did not care about politics, lived in seclusion in the Palace of Alcohol, and became one of the few late Qing politicians who could have a good death. It is also Zaifeng's thoughts that make all seven daughters become self-supporting laborers.
The Seven Princesses Yun Huan we are going to talk about today are probably the daughters who are most pleased with Zaifeng. Yun Huan was born in 1921, the same year that her mother-in-law, Guar Jiashi, committed suicide at home because she was reprimanded and punished by Princess Jin for kneeling. When Yun Huan was 3 years old, Puyi was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang and fled to the Palace of the Alcohol King. Yun Huan met the legendary "Emperor Brother" for the first time, which was the first time he and his eldest brother Puyi met.
Yun Huan, as the seven grids of the former Qing Dynasty, made her rarely appear in public in the Republic of China, because although the Qing Dynasty collapsed, the people's full mood did not diminish by half a point. At the age of 8, Yun Huan began to enter the "Yew Wah School" run by the British Ministry of Works bureau with her fourth brother Puren and sixth sister Yun Yu. However, the pleasant school life did not last long, and by the age of 15, Yun Huan had been at home. At home in the palace garden, she was also instructed by Teacher Liu Junsheng to learn calligraphy and painting.
As the four Purens and the sixth sister Yun Yu all embarked on the road of education, Yun Huan also walked out of the palace garden and taught at the fourth brother's conscientious school. Soon after, she and her friend Li Shufen opened a girls' vocational school called "Kenshi Girls' Vocational School". Yun Huan truly loves the cause of teaching, which makes her go further on the road of education.
Yun Huan during his work at "Jianzhi Girls' Vocational School" finally found the meaning of life. Yun Huan was also introduced by friends and colleagues to get to know Qiao Hongzhi, a political teacher at Beijing No. 4 Middle School who was born poor in Shandong. Perhaps under the influence of Qiao Hongzhi and his friends, Yun Huan also participated in the march of the peaceful liberation of Peiping.
After the founding of New China, Yun Huan joined the teaching work of public primary schools under the name of "Jin Zhijian", becoming the first person in the Qing Dynasty imperial family to participate in revolutionary work. In the same year, he and Qiao Hongzhi married each other, and became the only one of the seven sisters to marry a Han commoner.
In 1960, Yun Huan and the eldest brother Puyi and other brothers and sisters were reunited, and for the first time in their lives, they called the big brother "big brother", and as soon as she shouted out, she cried. At that time, Puyi was 57 years old, and Yun Huan was nearly 40 years old. Yun Huan has always insisted on working in the front line of education, even if she later joined the CPPCC work, she has never slackened off, and she has successively served as the teaching director of Jingzhong Street Primary School and the deputy teaching director of 227 Middle School.
In 1979, Yun Huan retired from 227 Middle School and lived a life with a pampered grandson. Yun Huan's daughter Qiao Ying and sons Qiao Min and Qiao Dai are ordinary wage earners and live the ordinary life of Beijing citizens. Yun Huan's later life, children and grandchildren around the knees, peach and plum all over the world, life is still relatively stable and peaceful.
In 2004, at the age of 83, Yun Huan died of illness in Beijing, and before his death, he said, "My family, in a sense, is a sinner in Chinese history, and it is my greatest honor to have the opportunity to serve the people in this life." "Everyone present was impressed.
It is my greatest honor to have the opportunity to serve the people. Puyi did not say this sentence, but this is really the truest voice of the Puyi family.
