What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Puyi, the last emperor in Chinese history, was also the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, his career as emperor was rather miserable, at first he only needed a nominal ruler, and later he needed a puppet. Therefore, although he became emperor three times, none of them were able to take power, and his personal freedom was even restricted during the puppet Manchukuo period. Speaking of him, some people may scold him for being stupid, and some people may sympathize with his seemingly legendary life, but whether it is in the palace or going to the northeast, in fact, he can't help himself.
It can only be said that Puyi's period is too special, and other last emperors are at most subjugated. When he came here, not only began to change the era, but also the bullying of the great powers, what about an emperor who had no real power? It was not right to turn to the Japanese, but from his point of view, how much bitterness and helplessness was contained in it? He was not allowed to stay in the Forbidden City, and Feng Yuxiang pressed him step by step, how could a former emperor endure. At this point, a powerful force said to him, I can give you everything you want, as long as you stand with me.
So he makes a mistake, but a mistake is a mistake, and people always have to pay for their mistakes, even if they have long regretted it. After attending the Far East Military Tribunal, Puyi was sent back to China by the Soviet Union and stayed in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center for a ten-year reform. July 1955 was the fifth year that Puyi had spent in the Fushun War Criminals' Center, and he had gradually become accustomed to his days here. Or concentrate on writing the autobiography of the first half of his life, or take a tour of various places in the Northeast, or participate in a light labor in a high wall.
This month of the year was different, and he was told that someone had come to see him without any psychological preparation. On the way, Puyi was still worried about who it was, and when he saw that person, he was stunned. In an instant, he came back to his senses, ran over to him and hugged him, and cried out the seventh uncle. This person was the last emperor's uncle Zaitao, who was Puyi's uncle, in fact, the two had not seen each other for many years. At first, Puyi entered the imperial palace, and then Puyi colluded with the Japanese, and Zaitao hated the Japanese, so the two turned against each other. After many years of separation, I did not expect to see goodbye to such a situation.
In fact, this is still the chairman's special instructions, although Zaitao's life is not very good in the past, but his treatment after the founding of the country is not bad. Zaitao was born in the thirteenth year of Guangxu (1887), Guangxu was his half-brother, and Zaifeng was his half-brother. Therefore, Puyi's relationship with Zaitao is actually very close, but Zaitao was passed on to the King of Zhongjun when he grew up. Born in the Qing Dynasty, Zaitao received the best education from an early age. Compared to Wen, he prefers martial arts, loves horses in his life, and draws horses when he is idle.
In fact, Zaitao was still a member of the Sectarian Socialist Party, but all he wanted was restoration, and after finding that there was no hope at all, he gave up. Zaitao understands very well that restoration is one thing, and cooperation with the Japanese is another. He did not think that the Japanese would sincerely help Qingmu, and the 918 Incident and the war of aggression against China broke out one after another, and Zaitao was naturally even more unhappy. Therefore, the puppet state of Manchukuo invited him several times, but he refused, and even the tomb sweeper was unwilling to go with Puyi.
In this regard, he and his brother Zaifeng had the same idea, zaifeng also felt heartbroken for Puyi's establishment of a puppet manchukuo, and also scolded Puyi as the emperor. Even if he pretended to be ill, he had to leave the puppet state of Manchukuo and live in seclusion. Because of the war, his life was actually not good, on the contrary, it was very miserable. For this reason, Zaitao would rather lay down his face and set up a stall than go to puppet Manchukuo. It was such a last emperor who rejected Zhang Zuolin and rejected the Japanese puppet, but gladly accepted the appointment of new China and became an adviser to ma zhengli.
His status is naturally special, and he can also be said to be highly respected in the Aisin Kyora family, plus his position has always been very firm. Since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he has always stood on our side, believing that only our side has the hope of prosperity. Therefore, he was willing to accept this position and was willing to disregard the hard work of investigation at an advanced age. Seeing Puyi was first given a task by the chairman, July 5, 1955 was the day when the second session of the First National Congress was held, and he was left behind after the adjournment.
At that time, the leader felt that Puyi was studying well, and the family should care for him, hoping that his seventh uncle would see his nephew. With permission, Zaitao naturally wanted to go, no matter what, Puyi was his nephew in the end. At that meeting, Zaitao told Puyi about many changes in the outside world, and he also visited him many times since then. When Puyi was specially established, he could not integrate into the life of his family members, when Puyi's second sister founded a street Brexit second office, the second brother-in-law worked in the post and telecommunications department, the third sister and his wife were studying, and the fourth sister worked in the Forbidden City.
The sixth sister husband and wife are a pair of painters, the seventh sister husband and wife are educators, and the fourth brother is also a primary school teacher. He spent four years in the war criminals' camp, and since his younger siblings had not been seen for many years, it was inevitable that he would be a little rusty. At this time, it is the time for Zaitao to ease the atmosphere, and as a patriarch, he has an understanding with both sides. It can be said that Zaitao's descendants are making their own efforts for the construction of new China.
When Puyi came out, There were more than a dozen red scarves in Zaitao's home, and the youth were struggling in all walks of life, including workers, doctors, cadres, teachers, etc., and many of them were still the first ranks of the Communist Youth League. Zaitao himself is also a deputy to the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, holding many positions and living a happy and happy life. On September 2, 1970, the 83-year-old Zaitao died in Beijing, and his ashes were placed in Babaoshan with permission.
