The brothers are in the midst of the robbery, and they meet each other and laugh and take revenge. --Lu Xun
We all know that the Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China's history, and China's feudal autocratic system reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty, and after the peak was the end, so there was no feudal autocracy after the Qing Dynasty. In its place was the bourgeois Republic of China, and after the Red Army crossed the Yangtze River in the south, It liberated Nanjing, and New China was founded. The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the last emperor in the history of our country. The last emperor of our country, we are all familiar with, he is Puyi.
The last emperor
Puyi's identity is undoubtedly complicated and embarrassing, as the king of a country, when the Qing Dynasty was not yet destroyed, he enjoyed the admiration of the whole country. But after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi's situation was so isolated and helpless. Almost everyone in society spurned him, and as a former ruler, as a former exploiting class, he became a street rat, shouting and beating everywhere. After the founding of New China, he gained a free identity and lived a seemingly ordinary life, but the bitterness in it may only be understood by himself.
After Puyi was freed, he once visited his hometown, the Forbidden City. What makes people feel helpless is that Puyi returned to his hometown and had to buy tickets to visit. But in the process of this visit, it was not very smooth, and he accidentally met an old acquaintance. This old acquaintance once did something that changed Puyi's fate. Puyi revisited the Forbidden City and met an old man with white hair, why did his face change in an instant. This old acquaintance was none other than Lu Zhonglin. What kind of story is there between Lu Zhonglin and Puyi? When two acquaintances meet, what kind of sparks will they collide?
Lu Zhonglin, who drove Puyi out of the Forbidden City
We may not be too familiar with Lu Zhonglin's identity, but we must be quite familiar with some of the historical events he has participated in. He was the real executor, or first executor, of the coup d'état. We all know that at that time, the Republic of China promised to treat Puyi with the treatment of the emperor, but Feng Yuxiang issued an order to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City, which meant exploiting Puyi's status as a nobleman. On the day of being expelled from the palace, Puyi could not imagine that a person who had once exerted pressure on others was now reduced to such a position, how could others not retaliate in turn? But Feng Yuxiang did not care about him, and was determined to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City. It was Feng Yuxiang who gave the order, and it was Feng Yuxiang's general, Lu Zhonglin, who carried out this matter.
For being driven out of the Forbidden City, Puyi must have hated Feng Yuxiang quite much in his heart. Although he understood that this was created by current events, not only Could Feng Yuxiang be blamed, but such an order was issued by him, but he still did so after the Republic of China decided to treat Puyi kindly, how could this make Puyi not hold a grudge against him? Since he already had hatred for Feng Yuxiang, could the officer who carried out this order escape the Gan clan? Therefore, to a certain extent, Puyi also hated Lu Zhonglin.
The day of leaving the palace
Leaving the Forbidden City, Puyi's life was not very comfortable, and it could even be described as lonely and sad. He first lived in Tianjin for a while, and then was taken to the northeast by the Japanese army, where he established a puppet state of Manchukuo and became a puppet emperor. Although he was still an emperor, he was far away from his homeland and lived a life of upheaval and displacement. For a person who has been pampered since childhood, and suddenly has to cross such a large class difference, Puyi feels anger in his heart, but he has no choice. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Puyi, although no longer imprisoned by the Japanese, became a prisoner of the Soviet Union, and he was imprisoned in the Soviet Union for five years.
It was not until after the founding of New China that Puyi was sent back to China. But at this time, Puyi is still not a free person, he is a prisoner, he needs to continue to accept the trial of the times, and constantly participate in the reform. Puyi did not participate in labor since he was a child, so the days of both imprisonment and labor can be described as a year for him. He thought about suicide, but it didn't work out. If a person can't die if he wants to die, what else can he do? Meet each other and laugh and hate
Therefore, this time when the Forbidden City met, although the two were acquaintances, they were not friends meeting, but enemies. At this time, their identity and status had changed, Puyi was no longer the emperor of the last days, and Lu Zhonglin was not the majestic officer of that year. One of them became an ordinary ordinary person, and the other became an old man who was dying of old age. The wrinkles in the corners of the eyes of both men are full of stories and heartache, which only people of that era can appreciate. Lu Zhonglin took the lead in greeting Puyi, and even proposed to visit the Forbidden City with Puyi, and Puyi also put down the previous mustard in his heart and followed Lu Zhonglin into the Forbidden City to visit.
Time has passed by now, and they all know that it is impossible to go back to the past. And if you keep the hatred in your heart, it will also waste the present time. So they chose to meet each other and smile and revenge, and chose to cherish the present.
