How bleak Emperor Guangxu's childhood was: he ate rancid vegetables, was stunted, and was too hungry to steal food from eunuchs
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in the depths of the Forbidden City, there was a bleak past that few people knew. This is about the Guangxu Emperor, the young monarch, whose childhood life was not as glorious as the world imagined, but full of endless hardship and sorrow.
At that time, he was just a child, but he was already forced to sit on the dragon chair. However, this dragon chair did not bring him any warmth and comfort, but became a symbol of his loneliness and helplessness. His diet is even more unbearable to read. What is served to the table every day is not the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but the leftovers that have become rancid. The smell of those foods was disgusting, but for Emperor Guangxu, it was his daily ration.
Long-term malnutrition has caused his body to develop poorly, and he appears unusually thin compared to children of the same age. His face was pale, and his eyes were full of cravings for food. Whenever he saw the eunuchs eating a steaming meal, an indescribable sourness welled up in his heart.
Hunger became the deepest memory of his childhood. Sometimes, his stomach growled with hunger, and he could only watch the eunuchs eat. That helplessness and despair pierced him like a sharp knife deep into his heart. Once, he was so hungry that he mustered up the courage to sneak into the eunuch's room and try to steal some food to satisfy his hunger. However, his actions were soon discovered, and the eunuchs angrily kicked him out of the room, and his heart was filled with humiliation and anger.
In his childhood, there was no company of parents, no laughter of friends, only endless loneliness and hardship. He longs for love and warmth, but all he gets is indifference and neglect. His heart was full of doubts and incomprehension about the world, why did he have to suffer like this?
However, even in such a predicament, Emperor Guangxu did not give up on himself. He understands that if he wants to change his destiny, he must work hard. So, he began to secretly learn cultural knowledge and find his way out by reading books. He longed to change his destiny through knowledge and bring a glimmer of hope to his country.
Although his childhood was full of bleakness and hardship, he never gave up his hope and hope for the future. He used his tenacity and perseverance to struggle to survive in the face of difficulties, and finally succeeded in ascending the throne of the emperor. His story is full of sadness and hardship, but it is also full of tenacity and hope.
Nowadays, when we look back on the childhood of Emperor Guangxu, we can't help but think: a child's childhood should be full of laughter and happiness, however, Emperor Guangxu spent his childhood in hunger and hardship. This makes us deeply reflect on whether the fairness and justice of a society should provide every child with the environment they deserve to grow up.
The story of Emperor Guangxu's childhood is not only a historical memory, but also a mirror, reflecting various problems in our society. We should learn from this and strive to create a better future for every child.
From this story, we can draw several warnings: first, a child's growth environment is very important, it is directly related to the child's physical and mental health and future development, second, social fairness and justice is the basis for protecting children's rights and interests, we should strive to eliminate inequality in society, and finally, we should pay attention to those children who are living in difficulty, give them love and help, and let them feel the warmth and strength of society.
Let's take the story of Emperor Guangxu's childhood as a lesson and work together to create a better childhood for every child.
