In August 2004, the last Gege of the Qing Dynasty died, and before she died, she said something that Puyi did not want to admit all her life. At the same time, it also tells her sad life.
On February 12, 1912, Empress Longyu officially announced the abdication of the Qing Emperor, which not only represented the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had ruled the mainland for 276 years. At the same time, it also ended the thousands of years of feudal system on the mainland, according to the results of negotiations between the Manchu Qing royal family and the Republic of China delegation, the property of the Aixin Jueluo royal family could be preserved, and Puyi and Empress Longyu and others could continue to live in the Forbidden City.
In 1921, the youngest daughter of Prince Zaifeng was born, and she was the last grid of the Manchu Qing royal family, Ai Xin Jue Luo Yun Huan, and she was the youngest girl in the family, ranking seventh, so she was also called the seven grids. Puyi was the Eldest Son of Prince Shuo and Zaifeng. Since the Tongzhi Emperor had no heirs, for the sake of imperial succession, Puyi was succeeded by Cixi to the Tongzhi Emperor at the age of two, and also served as The Guangxu. That is, a child and two fathers. After that, Puyi succeeded to the throne as emperor. Puyi has a very complicated feeling for his original family, Zaifeng is his biological father, and Yun Huan and others are his brothers and sisters, but they cannot get too close due to the royal etiquette, which also leads to the gathering of brothers and sisters.
Because of the special care of the Nationalist government for the Qing dynasty royal family, their property was not confiscated, so Yun Huan's childhood life was still relatively rich and happy. Although it is not comparable to the life of the ancestors before, it is already very good compared with the vast number of toiling people. The only thing they lost was that without the imperial court's fenglu and the monstrous power, they could only sit on the mountain and eat the air, and they could not make ends meet for a long time, and one day the money would be dissipated.
In 1924, Feng Yuxiang led an army into the Forbidden City, Puyi was expelled from the palace, and with nowhere to go, he returned to the Prince of Alcohol Palace and met his three-year-old sister Ai Xinjueluo Yunhuan. After that, her eldest sister and grandmother passed away one after another, and the young Yun Huan experienced the pain of life and death.
In 1928, the family of Prince Shuo moved to Tianjin with Puyi. At this time, Puyi, who was still not dead-hearted, tried to restore the country, and the former regent Zaifeng saw at a glance that this was absolutely impossible. Of course, in the end, they all ended in failure, when many Manchurians changed their names and surnames in order to adapt to the new society. Aisin Kyora was also changed to the surname "Kim". For the sake of a new life, and to say goodbye to the past, Yun Huan changed her name to Jin Zhijian. In 1948, Jin Zhijian met his lover Qiao Hongzhi under the introduction of a friend. In that society at that time, Yun Huan's identity was very sensitive, but Qiao Hongzhi did not mind, he took good care of Yun Huan, and Yun Huan did not care about Qiao Hongzhi's identity as an ordinary Han chinese. Everything is so insignificant in the face of love.
In February 1950, the two entered the palace of marriage, and after marriage, the two respected each other and loved each other. The couple soon gave birth to the crystallization of love. Later, with the coordination and help of many parties, Yun Huan finally met puyi, the eldest brother who had been separated for more than thirty years. They hugged each other tightly and wept with joy, but the happy days did not last long. In 1960, Qiao Hongzhi died of illness. This sudden change broke Yun Huan's originally peaceful and happy life. But life goes on, Yun Huan refused all the help provided by the organization, she worked while with the children. Although life was hard, she never complained.
In 1967, Puyi, the eldest brother who had a deep influence on her, died. Later, because of her outstanding work, she served as a member of the Chongwen District of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing, and has been dedicating her strength to the cause of education. As the years passed, Yun Huan's siblings passed away one after another, and until 1994, she became the only surviving descendant of the Aisin Kyora royal family. In 2004, Yun Huan died in Beijing at the age of 83. This gentle and quiet, independent and strong woman thus completed her life, she experienced the rise and fall of dynasties, the change of regime, and witnessed the founding of New China. Some people may ask why they have to dedicate themselves so much as a once-exalted character. It wasn't until her deathbed that she gave the answer.
Because of the reasons of being born into the imperial family, most of the members of the imperial family want to restore the Qing Dynasty, so many people are in a lofty posture, just like Puyi, although he has become a puppet emperor of Manchuria, he still thinks that he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the monarch of a country. Yet he did not know how much harm his actions had done to China. When someone asked Yun Huan what her last wishes were, she said something like this: "From a certain point of view, my family is a sinner in China, and it is my honor to be able to dedicate my own strength to new China in this life, and it is also an honor to alleviate some of my sins."
The above is the last personality of the Qing Dynasty, before dying said the words that Puyi did not dare to admit in his life, I don't know what everyone thinks about this, welcome to leave a message in the comment area, we will see you in the next issue.
