The ancient emperor who was not a harem beauty three thousand people, but to the last emperor Puyi, the women he had in his life can be counted with one hand, from marrying Wanrong and Wenxiu in 1922 to marrying female nurse Li Shuxian in 1962, there are only 5 women in his life.
Puyi has no children and no daughters, and after her death, the property should belong to Li Shuxian, but there is a small episode in the middle, she has fought a lawsuit with others for 10 years to monopolize Puyi's huge property, what is the result of the back?
Puyi's life was a tragic life, he was propped up as a puppet emperor at the age of 3, abdicated at the age of 6, failed the restoration at the age of 12, was expelled from the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang at the age of 18, helped by the Japanese to the throne of puppet Manchukuo at the age of 26, captured by the Soviets at the age of 39, transferred to the Lushun prisoner of war camp at the age of 44, pardoned at the age of 53, and became an ordinary citizen of New China.
After Puyi's amnesty, he returned to Beijing and went to work as a gardener for a year or two at the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 1962, Puyi's colleague Zhou Zhenqiang looked at him lonely and bitter, holding a photo of a 37-year-old single woman and asking him if he would like to get to know the woman in the photo, the woman in the photo is Li Shuxian, who has had two failed marriages, but has no children in both marriages, and very much hopes to have a sound family.
After Puyi became a commoner, there were women who were willing to marry him, and the most beautiful Wang Mintong Wang Mintong at the end of the Qing Dynasty was in love with him for decades and had always wanted to marry him, but Puyi did not want to marry Manchu again, and did not want a woman who could not work, so he rejected her.
Puyi pursued Li Shuxian to give ordinary people the same, every day to take a good look at themselves, and then went to Li Shuxian's hospital to pick her up from work, Li Shuxian was touched by him and married him on April 30 of that year.
On the night of the wedding, Puyi did not grasp the spring supper moment like other grooms, but sat under the lamp and read a book, and did not go to bed until very late. Li Shuxian thought that Puyi had been single for a long time and was not used to having women around him, but after a long time, he found that Puyi was like this every day, and only then did he know that Puyi had no fertility.
Li Shuxian is 19 years younger than Puyi, still young and mature, does not want to waste time on Puyi, wants to divorce Puyi, Puyi immediately fell to his knees when he heard the divorce, crying and shouting beg Li Shuxian not to divorce, and even promised Li Shuxian that as long as she did not divorce her to go outside to make friends.
Li Shuxian did not expect that Puyi, who was the emperor, would actually kneel down with her in a low voice, she was soft for a while and promised not to divorce, Puyi was relieved, usually thoughtful about Li Shuxian, it rained heavily outside, he was afraid that Li Shuxian would fall into the sewer, he stood alone next to the sewer for a long time, until he waited for Li Shuxian, he did this is afraid that Li Shuxian will not want to open and divorce, he has been weathered for a long time, he does not want anything else, he only wants a person to accompany him to death.
On October 17, 1967, Puyi died of uremia, and Li Shuxian sent him away at the bedside and inherited his property. Puyi did not leave much property to Li Shuxian, only a small amount of savings and the autobiography "The First Half of My Life".
"The First Half of My Life" was completed by Puyi in the Lushun Prisoner of War Camp, when the Lushun Prisoner of War Camp was inspired by the Japanese war criminals to write confessions, requiring the pseudo-Manchu war criminals to also write confessions, the name is uniformly called "the first half of my life", Puyi began to write in 1957, due to his poor writing ability, "The First Half of My Life" is his oral account, his brother Pu Jie wrote.
The first half of my life was only a pamphlet distributed only within the camp, and when the Mass Publishing House wanted to publish this pamphlet in 1960, the characters who edited and published it were handed over to Li Wenda. Li Wenda found that Puyi's dictated "The First Half of My Life" has a lot of unclear and unspecific places, if it is published in this way, readers will definitely not understand it, so after a period of rearrangement and revision, they completed the 550,000-word "First Half of My Life".
The First Half of My Life has had a circulation of one million copies in the more than 20 years since its publication. In 1984, italian director Bertolucci wanted to make the movie "The Last Emperor", but there was an accident, that is, the copyright ownership of "The First Half of My Life" was Li Wenda or Puyi's widow Li Shuxian, Li Shuxian learned that Li Wenda authorized "The Last Emperor" to shoot a movie based on "The First Half of My Life" without her consent, so he took Li Wenda to court and fought a lawsuit for a full decade.
In 1995, the court made a first-instance judgment, Puyi was the sole author of "The First Half of My Life", Li Shuxian inherited the copyright of this book, and Li Wenda could not hear the judgment given by the court, because he died a year before the judgment. Although he was gone, his family was still there, appealed to the court, and after another year of trial, the copyright still belonged to Li Shuxian, who laughed to the end, but this laugh did not last long, because she also died the day after the victory.
Puyi may not have thought that even if he died, he could still affect the people in the Yang Dynasty, if he had known that "The First Half of My Life" would cause copyright disputes, he should have solved this matter while he was alive.
