February 12, 1912, this day has a very special significance for the Great Qing Dynasty, which has been passed down for more than 200 years. Fu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, officially announced his abdication. Since then, in the land of Kyushu, the feudal dynasty has completely ended. However, Fu Yi's turbulent life, from this time on, can really begin. After half a century of going around, what will be the end of the last emperor?
On the first month of 1906, the Prince of Alcohol's Palace welcomed a special child. As the regent Zaifeng, he named his son Fu Yi. In his childhood, although the Qing Dynasty was already at the end of the road, Fu Yi's life as a descendant of the imperial family was not affected in the slightest. If the gears of fate had not been deflected, Fu Yi might have lived her life peacefully.
Wanwan did not expect the contradiction between the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi to erupt, and only two years later, the Guangxu Emperor's body was becoming increasingly emaciated, and the Ninth Five-Year Dignity was in name only. Poor Guangxu Emperor had no heirs, and after her death, Empress Dowager Cixi was so powerful that she made a holy decree for the regent Zaifeng to send Fu Yi to the palace for raising.
On the one hand, this was because Empress Dowager Cixi intended to support Fu Yi, and on the other hand, Fu Yi's mother, Su Wanguarjia, was the daughter of RongLu, a close confidant of Empress Dowager Cixi. It didn't take long for Empress Dowager Cixi to officially announce that Fu Yi, the son of the regent Zaifeng, would succeed to the throne. At this time, Fu Yi was just a child, and the whole Great Qing was in Cixi's hands.
Fu Yi, the emperor, was quite depressed, and on October 10, 1911, after the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, the Qing Dynasty was in chaos. In this case, Fu Yi, as the emperor, had to issue a self-edict to give an account to the people of the world.
However, this edict did not bring much change to the situation, but on the contrary, the warlords everywhere saw that the mandate of the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, and immediately after that, the situation in various places became more and more chaotic, and the civil war between the north and the south broke out completely. At that time, various provinces in southern China announced their independence from the Qing Dynasty, and the situation was uncontrollable.
Under the repeated persecution of Yuan Shikai, Empress Dowager Longyu came to the throne and formally announced her abdication in the name of the empress. At that time, Fu Yi did not have any right to speak at all, and could only follow the turmoil of history and be at the mercy of others. Fortunately, although not an emperor, the Republic of China government treated the Qing imperial family quite well, paying the Qing emperor nearly 4 million silver yuan every year.
The extravagant degree of Fu Yi's daily meals was not much different from when she was emperor. However, at that time, Fu Yi was still too young, even if she had the taste of mountains and treasures and seas, I am afraid that she would not be blessed to be consumed. Of course, the government of the Republic of China was willing to provide such favorable conditions for the Qing royal family, of course, at a cost. Fu Yi could only live in the Forbidden City and was not allowed to carry out activities in other places.
After the September 18 incident, Fu Yi ushered in another tragic experience in her life. The Japanese wanted to use Fu Yi to establish the state of China, which was then Manchukuo. At this time, Fu Yi was no longer a puppet of Empress Dowager Cixi, but a puppet of the Japanese, and his life was still not in his own hands.
After surviving for more than ten years, Japan announced its surrender, and Fu Yi was able to get rid of the puppet emperors of Manchukuo. Unfortunately, Fu Yi was captured by the Soviet Red Army when she was preparing to flee in Shenyang. Just out of the wolf's den, into the tiger's mouth, this time was taken to the Soviet Union.
From 1945 to 1950, Fu Lived in the Soviet Union. When he returned home, the situation at home had already changed dramatically. The People's Republic of China has been established, and Chairman Mao has also given the last emperor corresponding respect and has not embarrassed him.
Subsequently, Fu Yi was escorted back from the Soviet Union and sent to the War Criminals Management Center for study and reform. Because of Fu Yi's special status, Chairman Mao issued a pardon order allowing Fu Yi's family to visit him. Moreover, after coming out of the war criminals management center, Fu Yi finally became a citizen of new China. The experience of the first half of life was like a dream, half a century, living an ordinary and ordinary life.
Fu Yi received higher education from an early age, and at that time, she was already fluent in English. On February 16, 1960, Fu Yi came to work at the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was also the first job in his life.
According to the film and television materials left behind, after Fu Yi got the first job in her life, she not only did not show nostalgia for her past life, but felt extremely satisfied with her ordinary life now. Perhaps at this time, Fu Yi can be regarded as firmly grasping his life in his hands.
There used to be a lot of interesting things about Fu Yi in this period of time on the Internet: after the founding of New China, everyone had to have an ID card, but Fu Yi's home address was the Forbidden City, which made the staff extremely depressed. As for Fu Yi's academic qualifications, although she received higher education at a young age, it was slightly different from the higher education at that time, and the partial subjects were extremely serious, and in the end, it could only be set as a junior high school degree.
As the old saying goes, Fu Yi worked at the Institute of Botany for nearly two years. In the process, he meets Li Shuxian, a nurse at a hospital. The two soon fell in love, and on April 30, 1962, they were officially married, and fu Yi's life was like ordinary people, with a nearly peaceful process.
However, this quiet life did not last long, and in 1967, Fu Yi was ineffective because of uremia. After his death at 2:30 a.m. on October 17, his wife, Li Shuxian, buried his ashes in the Hualong Royal Cemetery in Yi County, Hebei Province, 120 kilometers southwest of Beijing.
As the last emperor, there are various theories about Fu Yi. Some people say that his life is like a duckweed fluttering in the wind and rain. In his early years, he was used as a puppet and at the mercy of others. After becoming an adult, I have the heart to restore the country, but the tide of history is mighty, and in the end I still failed to fulfill this wish. In the second half of her life, Fu Yi experienced a double transformation of identity and status, and what exactly she felt in her heart was probably only known to him.
Of course, some people say that Fu Yi's life is much more exciting than that of ordinary people, after all, he was born in the royal family and also tasted the feeling of being a nine-five-year-old. Even if it is only a few short years, compared to the ordinary life of ordinary people, I don't know how much more exciting.
In fact, for Fu Yi, being born in the Imperial Family is not necessarily a good thing. If life could be repeated, there was reason to believe that Fu Yi would never choose the Imperial Family. I would rather be an ordinary ordinary person and live a simple life than to be a prisoner of the caged bird.
