Since the idea of democracy and republicanism was introduced to China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, through the revolutionary influence of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the promotion of the CCP revolution, this idea is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The so-called "superior people" of the old society, the so-called privileged classes no longer exist in the new era, and now everyone is equal and must regulate his own behavior.
But you may not know that even when the idea of freedom and equality has been spread for a hundred years and the feudal dynasty has been in decline for a hundred years, there are still people who claim to be descendants of the royal family, want to engage in privileges, and want to enjoy the so-called "royal treatment" again.
Ai Xin Jue Luo Zhou Di, a native of Guangdong, claimed to be the tenth grandson of Dolgun and a descendant of the Manchu Qing royal family. According to his own account, when he was young, his father told him that the family was a royal family, but that time was a special period, and they did not dare to show it, but they could only talk about it at home.
It is said that although their family was dilapidated at that time, but the degree of eating and wearing was very exquisite, although the clothes were torn, but they must be associated with yellow, even if they could not be all yellow, they had to dye yellow on the corners to show their identity. And when eating, you also have to serve them one by one, even if you eat small pickles. Usually, the title is also the kind of title in the Qing Palace drama, but it is only called at home.
Until a few years ago, this state suddenly jumped out and said that he was a Manchu Qing royalty! As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar among many people. According to the research of some experts, there are not many Manchu compatriots in Guangzhou, and many of them are the children of the Eight Banners, basically seven or eight generations.
But according to Zhou Di, they arrived in Guangzhou around 1650, and since this is the case, their lineage will be more long-lasting, and Zhou Di will not be just the tenth grandson, at least thirteen generations up. Secondly, experts have gone through the history books, and only found records that Dorgon had only one daughter, where did the so-called direct tenth grandson come from? Moreover, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty royal family, there is no such generation in the generation, which also makes this matter more suspicious.
But despite this, Zhou Di still firmly believed that he was a descendant of the Manchu royal family, and he always regarded himself in this capacity. His home was decorated with antiques, the interior was full of calligraphy and paintings, and the color of the decoration was mostly yellow. He built a large kang in the living room, and the family ate cross-legged on it, and he usually sat cross-legged. He often wears yellow clothes and long braids, looking like a disciple of the Eight Flags. What is even more bizarre is that he enshrines the portrait of Dolgun in the living room, and also enshrines the flag of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the living room.
He used to run for the demolition of his family's old house, quite troublesome, and he once went north to Beijing to meet Puyi's brother Puren. After seeing Zhou Di's dress, Pu Ren was very unhappy and persuaded him: Don't be special, take off your clothes to be a commoner, but Zhou Di can't listen to it at all. He also told Pu Ren that we are an aristocratic class and should not give up our privileges. Pu Ren had to drive him out.
Later, when he was riding at the train station, he was furious because he could not buy a ticket, and once made a big fuss at the train station, scolding the passengers and the policemen as slaves. Under the rogues of the state, the people of the railway bureau had to give him a ticket.
Now that it is a socialist society, everyone is equal and should not engage in privileges, which is contrary to democracy. But the state doesn't bother to take care of people like Zhou Di, who bounces around society like a clown. Fortunately, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise it wouldn't have ended well.
