What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
The aristocrats of the feudal era enjoyed supreme power, especially the royal nobles at the top of the pyramids. However, the last royal nobles were not so lucky, and their fate was extremely tragic due to the teasing of the times. For example, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the members of the Ai Xin Jue Luo family were like this.
The eldest brother Ai Xinjueluo Puyi, the last emperor of our country, died on November 15, 1908, Empress Dowager Cixi died, and the entire Qing Dynasty suddenly had no ruler. Fortunately, before cixi died, she recruited Zaifeng's two-year-old son Puyi into the palace and made him his successor. On December 2 of the same year, Puyi ascended the throne and became the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. After only three years, he was forced to abdicate, and was later captured by the Japanese as a puppet emperor of puppet Manchukuo, became a war criminal after the end of World War II, was escorted to the Soviet Union for reform, and later returned to China to be pardoned and became an ordinary Chinese citizen.
Puyi's story, presumably everyone still knows better, but few people know that he still has seven sisters, and the life experience of those seven sisters will not be inferior to that of his brother Puyi.
The eldest sister, Yun Ying, was born in 1908, the year Cixi died, only two years younger than Puyi. Although her brother entered the court and became emperor, and her father Zaifeng became the regent who was in power, her treatment did not change.
In 1912, the Republic of China was founded, and the anti-Qing people led by Sun Yat-sen reached a compromise with the feudal forces led by Puyi, that is, to continue to allow Puyi's family to live in the Forbidden Palace. In this way, the family was still able to live in the capital.
Yun Ying is very beautiful, in her adulthood, more and more outstanding, although the Qing Dynasty fell, but the older generation of people still have great respect for this Gege, coupled with her own excellence, there are also many noble families want to climb. In the end, Runliang, the younger brother of Puyi's wife Wanrong, became Yunying's husband.
Run Benign is mild, and is still very good for Yun Ying, but unfortunately Yun Ying had a big problem in her body shortly after marriage, he had a serious illness, that is, acute appendicitis, because the family did not believe in Western medicine, and when Chinese medicine was treated, they did not want doctors to approach this noble body, so that the illness dragged on for a long time, and he died at the age of 18.
The second sister YunHe, unlike the gentle and elegant sister, Yunhe seems to be a bit rebellious, and she has lived in the courtyard of the deep palace since she was a child, and she very much wants to go out to see the "outside world". When he grew up, he reached the marriageable age, and he did not obey the arrangements of his family and pursued free love. However, under the general environment at that time, her resistance was in vain, and she eventually married Zheng Guangyuan, the grandson of her own teacher arranged for her by Puyi. In 1932, Zheng Guangyuan married Yunhe, a husband who was also influenced by the ideas of the new era, but eventually succumbed to reality. Later, he took Yun He to live in England and settled there. It is worth mentioning that the two daughters of the two of them later became famous Chinese painters.
The third sister, Yun Ying, she is the most beautiful of the seven sisters, and her personality is also the most lively, and finally she is also arranged by Puyi to marry Wanrong's younger brother Runqi. Unlike Yun He, although Yun Ying was also married by Puyi, the designated person and her were "green plum bamboo horses" since childhood, and she not only did not resist in the slightest, but was very willing.
Her husband was Puyi's loyal follower, and later followed Puyi to the northeast, while her wife Yun Ying stayed alone to take care of her children. In that chaotic era, it was very difficult for a weak woman to support her children alone, she was so poor that her children had a fever and had no money to buy anti-fever medicine, and this life was not changed until she returned to Beijing 4 years later.
The fourth sister, Yun Xian, whose husband was also designated by Puyi, was Puyi's former bodyguard Zhao Qipan, who had studied in Japan and could be regarded as a new type of intellectual. In 1948, he followed Chiang Kai-shek back to Taiwan, and for more than 30 years, he had not been able to see Yun Xian again. In 1982, cross-strait relations eased, and the husband and wife were able to meet each other, and finally both became workers in state-owned enterprises.
The fifth sister, Yun Xin, went from Puyi to the northeast, until 1959, he saw his eldest brother Puyi again, and the two were in tears when they met. Yunxin's life has no waves, that is, an ordinary sewing worker in Beijing, she and her husband have a total of 4 children, and finally became college students, and their lives are also complete.
The sixth sister, Yun Yu, she is the most outstanding of many sisters, and is a painter in our country. At a very young age, she showed a talent for painting, and when she grew up, she concentrated on painting, and her husband was called Wang Ailan, a descendant of manchu Qing dynasty ministers, who also liked to paint.
The seventh sister Yun Huan, Yun Huan is different from her six sisters, because Puyi has gone to the northeast when she was born, so she has almost no intersection with Puyi, he is also the only one among all people to marry in free love, in February 1950, he married an ordinary farmer and has lived a plain life ever since.
The old era has passed, and these so-called feudal aristocrats, in the new era of equality for all, are only one member of all sentient beings.
