What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
"When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past?" Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, and the homeland could not look back at the middle of the moon. The carved fence jade should still be there. Just Zhu Yan changed. Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote a desperate poem and was poisoned by giving medicine and wine.
Most of the fallen lords of the past generations have been unable to escape death, and few are lucky, but the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Ai Xin jueluo Puyi, is luckier than the previous fallen lords, although he was born in the imperial family, he lived until after liberation at the time of the demise of the feudal dynasty. This is a life that many fallen lords can't dream of.
Puyi's fate in life was uncertain, his emotional life was full of twists and turns, he had married 5 wives in his life, and he had been married 4 times, all because of his "can't say" secret.
Early life as an emperor
When Puyi was 3 years old, he was put on the throne by Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi and Guangxu then died, and the young and ignorant Puyi was soon removed from the throne by Yuan Shikai. Puyi, who had only been emperor for 4 years, had to stay in the Forbidden City and live a superficial court life.
Seeing that the Qing Dynasty was in a precarious situation, the palace rules were still there, and the people in the palace were panicked, all plotting otherwise, and had no time to take care of the young Puyi. Court life was chaotic, and the palace ladies who did not see male color sneaked into the little emperor's bedchamber at night to make love with Puyi, and excessive indulgence and unrestrained made Puyi's body very weak, and also laid the foundation for his future misfortunes.
Puyi gradually grew up, and the harem had two women, Empress Wanrong and Wenxiu, at this time, Puyi snubbed the two, making the two turn against each other. Wen Xiu finally couldn't bear to get married in name only and divorced Puyi. Becoming the first woman in history to divorce the emperor, Wanrong was exposed as having an affair with someone and became insane.
Puyi also married Tan Yuling and Li Yuqin as wives, but they did not die well. With several failed marriages, Puyi's secret was also made public.
After leaving the Forbidden City
After the failure of the restoration, Puyi also gradually grew up, and the old and young left him one after another. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang expelled Puyi from the palace, and the Qing Dynasty ceased to exist. Subsequently, Puyi fled to the northeast and became a puppet of the Japanese, becoming the emperor of puppet Manchukuo. As a result, it is conceivable that after the Surrender of the Japanese, Puyi was imprisoned in the Soviet Union, and paid special attention to him, and 5 years later Puyi was extradited back to China, thus ending the life of an emperor on high.
In the war criminals management center in Fushun, Liaoning Province, Puyi was numbered "No. 981", where he needed labor, no one to serve, and there was no distinction between honor and inferiority. Puyi completed the perfect transformation from emperor to commoner here, and accepted the transformation with a pious attitude.
Fast forward a few years, and in December 1959, Puyi was pardoned and returned to Beijing. From a prisoner in the shackles to a citizen with freedom of movement, Puyi was a little uncomfortable, and he vaguely remembered that last time he was still a high-ranking last emperor in Beijing. Although it is awkward, there are still people around to follow, WanRong and Wenxiu are still accompanied, and many things do not need to be done by themselves.
Now that both of them had left him, he burst into tears at the thought of this, sad not that no one would serve him in the future, but that the ridiculous first half of his life had left him alone. Puyi decided to start looking for someone who held his hand all his life.
Later life
After learning of Puyi's physical condition, he specially sent someone to the door for treatment. After pu fuzhou, a famous Chinese medicine doctor at that time, carefully treated him, Puyi's body gradually improved. Although some people have introduced objects to him many times, they all look up to his identity as emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Puyi is not worried. At this time, Li Shuxian broke into his life, puyi saw her treat him as an ordinary person, decided to associate with her, and realized his wish in his later years.
Li Shuxian's life before he met Puyi was gray. After she was born, she and her mother were dependent on each other, and her life was extremely difficult. Not long after, his mother died of illness, and his father remarried, taking Li Shuxian to Shanghai to live with his stepmother.
Her stepmother often scolded her, and she had to endure in silence. Later, when Li Shuxian was a teenager, her father died, and her stepmother sold her to a rich man, who turned out to be just trying to cheat Li Shuxian's dowry, and abandoned Li Shuxian after winning the hand.
Puyi cherished the time with Li Shuxian and cared for her very much, taking her to watch movies, eating Western food, accompanying her to the Forbidden City, and telling her about her life in the imperial palace when she was a child. Two cold hearts collided and sparked.
Puyi and Li Shuxian married on April 30, 1962, and after marriage, the two lived happily and often played together. On February 5, 1965, Puyi was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and Li Shuxian had uterine fibroids. Since then, the two bitter people have begun to fight against the disease.
In the early years, Puyi's body was empty, did not get timely treatment, and did not undergo careful conditioning. In 1965, Puyi unfortunately suffered from cancer and had his left kidney removed, and then suffered from uremia again. Even if he was reconstituted, Puyi would no longer have children.
After Pu Fuzhou learned of Puyi's condition, he prescribed a Traditional Chinese medicine called "Purple River Car" to alleviate Puyi's pain when he was ill. In order to facilitate Puyi's carrying, Hou Pu Fuzhou ground the "Purple River Car" into a powder and mixed it with other Chinese medicines to make "River Car Pills".
In 1967, Puyi fell seriously ill again, and at that time he died of pain and came back to life. His wife Li Shuxian saw the situation and rushed Puyi to the Union Hospital, but the hospital at that time had great prejudice against Puyi, who was once the emperor of the feudal dynasty, and refused to treat him.
Puyi covered his round stomach and kept moaning in pain, Li Shuxian did not care about three seven twenty-one dragged the doctor to ask for help to see Puyi, but the doctor was indifferent, Li Shuxian saw the pain of Puyi begging the doctor bitterly, the doctor left with a sneer. The remaining lonely and helpless Li Shuxian watched poor Puyi being tortured, and kept shouting in his mouth: "River Car Pill..."
Lee Shu-hyun didn't know what the River Car Pill was, and by the time she did, it was too late. Puyi left him, and the pain before his death would be much lessened if he took the River Car Pill. Li Shuxian was alone and collected money to take care of Puyi's posthumous affairs, and even the memorial service was not opened, and the ashes were deposited in the funeral home.
After Puyi's death, Li Shuxian lived a very poor life, because the original unit suspended her from pay and stayed in her post, so that she could only rely on the manuscript fee left by Puyi to survive and spend the rest of her life in the thought of Puyi.
Puyi's life was bumpy, he was originally an emperor, he met the destruction of the country, enjoyed a short palace life, but prematurely damaged his body, and since then he has had several unhappy marriages. He thought that as a civilian, he could have the happy life of a commoner, but everything was too short, so short that he left this world before the dawn came.
What is remarkable is that in his autobiography he did not hide his faults, and even wrote down insults to himself.
