"Lonely Dream" once said: "Three years old to the throne at six years old panic, the teenager is still empty emperor." In the late Qing Dynasty, Puyi was forced to abdicate and became a commoner from then on. Although in modern history, Puyi has received special attention from the world, his mentality in dealing with the world is no different.
Since Qin Shi Huang came to power, China has entered the feudal era, although in the past few thousand years of historical development process, the feudal system has always existed, but with the changes in society, this system is no longer suitable for the development needs of our society.
With the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, China's feudal history completely ended, as the last emperor in the feudal society, Puyi's life experience has received the attention of many people.
Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi has lost his former noble position and become a commoner. Once, Guo Moruo hoped to ask Puyi to be his assistant, but Puyi refused with five words, and these five words made Guo Mo feel self-conscious. So, what kind of relationship does Guo Moruo have with Puyi? Why would Puyi refuse Guo Moruo's invitation?
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, as the last emperor, Puyi hoped to restore the Qing Dynasty. However, after accepting the invitation of the Japanese and coming to the northeastern puppet state of Manchukuo, he found that things did not turn out as he had imagined.
During this time, Puyi became a puppet of the Japanese government, and it was difficult to have his own freedom. Thereafter, as Japan announced its surrender, Puyi became a prisoner of the Soviet Union. During this time, although Puyi had the status of a prisoner of war, he did not want to return to the motherland.
In his opinion, during his control by the Japanese, he had connived at many evil deeds by the Japanese, and if he returned to his homeland, he would definitely accept the trial of the state. However, after coming to the Soviet Union, Puyi was sent back to China, which also made Puyi's future life unparalleled. However, after returning to China and being sent to prison, Puyi found that the situation he faced was very different from what he imagined.
Under the care of the party and the state, Puyi successfully completed the transformation and reflected on the previous wrong behavior, and later, Puyi received a state amnesty and had a stable job.
In Puyi's view, it is very fortunate to be able to get such preferential treatment from the state, and he also hopes to be able to contribute to the construction of new China with his own efforts. It is precisely for this reason that Puyi wholeheartedly participated in the work of socialist construction.
Since the founding of New China, the former Imperial Palace has become a tourist attraction, and during this time, Puyi often uses his former knowledge reserves to help the Forbidden City docents improve the content of the explanations.
At that time, Guo Moruo, a famous literary scholar and archaeologist in China, after hearing about Puyi's various deeds, hoped to join hands with Puyi to jointly study the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Once, at a party organized by the central government, Guo Moruo successfully met with Puyi, but Guo Moruo did not expect that this meeting was not very pleasant.
Above the banquet, Guo Moruo took a snuff bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty to everyone to enjoy. According to Guo Moruo, this snuff bottle is a treasure he collected by accident.
But just when everyone praised Guo Moruo's collection of snuff bottles, Puyi suddenly opened his mouth and said: This snuff bottle is an imitation, and the real snuff bottle does not look like this.
For a while, everyone present felt very confused, and after further identification by relevant antique experts, it was also determined that Guo Moruo's collection of snuff bottles was indeed a fake.
Although Guo Moruo lost face in front of Puyi due to the impact of this incident, he still hoped to be able to cooperate with Puyi. After that, Guo Moruo found Puyi and hoped that Puyi could become his assistant and participate in the work of the archaeological team.
However, in the face of Guo Moruo's invitation, Puyi refused Guo Moruo's invitation with the five words "I will not manchu". After Guo Moruo heard Puyi's words, he was even more self-conscious on the spot.
Although on the surface, Puyi's reply is somewhat wrong with the horse's mouth. But in fact, Puyi replied to the meaning of this sentence, which means that he is no longer the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he will not follow others at will for the sake of the fame and fortune in front of him, he only hopes to be an ordinary citizen in the new era.
epilogue
From Puyi's attitude, the world can feel his unique mind. Although Puyi was once a high-ranking emperor, after the socialist transformation, he also accepted the changes of history and was willing to contribute to the construction of the new era.
Unlike many of the aixin jueluo descendants who still insist on retaining the aristocratic customs of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi sincerely hopes to help the country achieve better development, and because of this, Puyi has also won praise from many people for his efforts over the years.
To this day, the story about Puyi is still the object of people's curiosity, after all, for such a last emperor, the life he experienced is absolutely unimaginable.
It is believed that in the days to come, the spirit of Puyi will continue to be inherited, providing corresponding help for social development, and the people of our country will also jointly contribute more to the construction and development of the country.
