Puyi was the last emperor of China, and his life was full of ups and downs, he was an emperor, a puppet, a war criminal, and finally an ordinary Chinese citizen. Puyi died of uremia at the age of 61, which surprised everyone around him, why did Puyi get this disease? In fact, he is also very helpless.
In the first half of his life, he was not free, he was rushed around, and eventually he became a traitor
Puyi could have been a rich prince, far from all royal struggles, but Empress Dowager Cixi's decision changed his life. In 1908, Empress Dowager Cixi was already a dying person, and she first sent someone to poison the Guangxu Emperor, who had always wanted to be pro-government, and then designated Puyi, the son of Zaifeng the Prince of Alcohol, as emperor and Zaifeng as regent.
At that time, Puyi was only three years old, and he didn't even know what the emperor was, he would only cry and shout on the great emperor's throne, accepting strange and cumbersome worship from the courtiers, and he became the last emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom in such chaos.
When the Xinhai Revolution broke out in 1911, China became a republic, and Puyi was forced to abdicate in the second year of the revolution, but the Nationalist government allowed him to continue to live in the imperial palace, and returned him four million taels of silver every year as living expenses.
At this time, Puyi seems to have understood what is happening outside, he also knows that he is no longer the emperor of the world, but only the emperor of the Forbidden City, Puyi followed his foreigner master Johnston to learn a lot of different cultures, he is very yearning for Western culture, and even thought of studying abroad in the future.
However, his life was destined to be full of tragedies, the dream had not yet been realized, in 1924, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army hit the Forbidden City, Feng Yuxiang's subordinate Lu Zhonglin took a gun and forced Puyi: Immediately move out of the palace, and you are not allowed to live here from now on.
Puyi left the palace with Empress Wanrong and Lady Wenxiu, and after several twists and turns, he chose to defect to the Japanese, established the so-called Manchukuo, and became a puppet emperor, perhaps not wanting this in his heart, but in order to restore the "Great Qing Foundation" that had been illusory, Puyi still did the traitor that everyone scolded.
After the founding of New China, he accepted the transformation and found his wife to spend the rest of his life, but why did he die of uremia
Puyi finally calculated the wrong situation, the final victory was the Communist Party, Puyi felt that they would not spare themselves, so decided to flee abroad by plane, and as a result, before they could get on the plane, they were arrested and sent to the Fushun War Criminals Management Center.
Here Puyi accepted the transformation of the new government, once he was the emperor on high, now he has to clean the toilet, do chores, which is very unacceptable to Puyi, fortunately, he finally realized his mistakes, under the government's teachings, learned to work, but also learned to take care of himself, in 1959, Puyi was pardoned by the government.
After the transformation, Puyi was no different from ordinary citizens, but the government noticed that he did not have a lover around to take care of him, so it began to look for him.
In fact, Puyi had a "harem" before, he and Empress Wanrong had a good relationship, but then Wanrong carried Puyi on her back, and the guards gave birth to a child, Puyi knew that after being furious, she killed the child, and since then Wanrong has been in a trance, and has smoked a big cigarette, and even after death, there is no place to bury.
Another lady concubine, Wenxiu, she had long been unable to look at Puyi's pretentious emperor, divorced Puyi, and pursued her own happiness.
Later, there were two women around Puyi, but unfortunately one was killed by the Japanese, and the other was sent by the Japanese, puyi was not interested at all, so after liberation, Puyi has been alone.
In 1962, Puyi and nurse Li Shuxian married under the mediation of everyone, Puyi originally wanted to grow old with Li Shuxian, but who could have predicted that two years later, Puyi would die of uremia.
It turned out that Puyi liked to drink Chinese medicine from a young age, no matter where he went, Chinese medicine did not leave his body, and also set up a variety of "pharmacies" in the palace, he believed that this could make his body stronger and stronger, but the result was more and more loss, increasing the burden of the kidneys, and the body weakened sharply.
Puyi also feels more and more that his body is not as good as a day, but he is superstitious about Chinese medicine, and he still insists on using Chinese medicine to condition the body, and many charlatans also use fake Chinese medicine to deceive Puyi, and the original unhealthy body is even worse.
Li Shuxian later found that Puyi often had insomnia all night, and secretly went to the hospital to inject hormones, and after persecution, he knew that Puyi had this disease, but at that time Puyi's illness was already very serious, and in 1965, Puyi removed his left kidney in the hospital.
However, Puyi because of years of random drinking medicine, the right kidney also has a problem, has developed to an irreparable point, even the drug can not control, in 1967, Puyi because of the ineffective treatment of death, perhaps he did not think that he thought that the health of the tonic, and finally wanted his own life. In fact, it is not surprising to think that many emperors in history also died of "panacea".
