At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the incompetence of the Qing government and the invasion of Western powers, the people lived in the depths of the water, after Sun Yat-sen's Xinhai Revolution, the people finally overthrew the corrupt and incompetent Qing government, and the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, was forced to abdicate.
It can be said that after Puyi's abdication, the Qing Dynasty was already extinct in name only, but Puyi always had a restoration ambition in his heart, just when the Japanese came to him to cooperate, he defected to the Japanese after consideration and established a pseudo-Manchuria in the northeast, specifically for the Japanese. Until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan was already unable to protect itself, and Puyi, who was a traitor, was also arrested, and because of his special status, he was locked up for labor reform, and it was not until after the founding of New China that Puyi was released.
After experiencing great ups and downs, Puyi became an ordinary person, Premier Zhou also met with Puyi in his busy schedule and asked him what work he wanted to do, Puyi put forward two requests were rejected by Premier Zhou, the first is that Puyi wants to become a staff member of the Forbidden City, after all, it is his own family so he is familiar with the road, but Premier Zhou believes that Puyi's special identity will cause disturbances so he refused. In desperation, Puyi proposed to become a doctor to save lives, and Premier Zhou also refused, because Puyi is now too late to become a doctor, and it is difficult to be competent with his ability.
After thinking about it again, Premier Zhou suggested that Puyi become a gardener at the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences, which can not only cultivate himself but also spend the rest of his life safely, and Puyi also agreed very much after hearing it and accepted it gladly.
