Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

In 2005, there was an incident at the Guangzhou railway station where a man named Zhou Youqian, who claimed to be a descendant of Dolgon, claimed to be a descendant of Dolgon, and trumpeted his royal status at the station, even insulting the conductor and the crowd. However, after research, it was found that Dolgon did not leave any male descendants, so Zhou Youqian's claim that he was a descendant of Dolgon is obviously untenable. Compared to those who claim to be descendants of the Qing dynasty but are unable to provide evidence, the real descendants of the Qing dynasty are clearly more low-key.

For example, Pu Yi's designated heir to the throne, Aixin Jueluo Yuzhe, failed to inherit the throne, and even made a living cleaning the streets in his later yearsAnd Aixin Jueluo Pu Ren's identity is slightly special, but he also lives an ordinary life, and some people don't even know his name. Pu Ren was born in 1918, in the palace of Prince Alcohol, is the fourth son of Prince Alcohol Zaifeng, and is the same brother as Pu Yi and Pu Jie. Although the Qing Dynasty had ended, the royal family in Peiping was still respected to a certain extent, so Pu Ren still retained his noble status. The common grandfather of Pu Ren, Pu Yi and Pu Jie was the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang and the younger brother of Emperor Xianfeng. Yiyun's concubine is Wanzhen, and Wanzhen is Cixi's own sister.

Therefore, Pu Ren, Pu Yi and Pu Jie's grandmothers are Cixi. When the Tongzhi Emperor died, Cixi set up Yixun's son, that is, Pu Ren, Pu Yi and Pu Jie's uncle Zaiyan ascended the throne as the Guangxu Emperor. Subsequently, Emperor Guangxu died, and Cixi directly arranged for Pu Yi to succeed him. Therefore, Pu Ren's uncle and elder brother were both emperors, and his grandmother was the Empress Dowager Cixi, and his identity was extremely special. When Pu Ren was born, Pu Yi had lived in the palace for more than 10 years and rarely returned to Prince Alcohol's palace, so Pu Ren's opportunities to meet Pu Yi were extremely limited, which may be the reason why he is little known. Compared with his two older brothers, Pu Ren is more low-key and has a clearer goal, which is another reason for his obscurity.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zaifeng's enthusiasm for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty had disappeared, and he chose to get along with Pu Ren and others in a low-key manner. In 1925, Sun Yat-sen had an in-depth conversation with Zaifeng, which gave Pu Ren a deep understanding of the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Subsequently, Zaifeng took Pu Ren to the northeast to visit Pu Yi and Pu Jie, but unexpectedly became involved in a Japanese conspiracy. After a battle of wits with the Japanese, Zaifeng successfully returned to Beijing with Pu Ren and began a more low-key life. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Ren realized that he could not restore the glory of his ancestors, but he was determined to keep the family. In order to keep the palace of Prince Alcohol, they decided to transform the palace into a school and contribute to society.

Pu Ren presided over the establishment of "Jingye Primary School" and served as a teacher himself, a choice that directly affected his life. After the liberation of Beiping, Pu Ren firmly believed in the party and the new **, sold the palace, and moved his family to a house in Dongcheng. He continued to run the school and in 1957 handed over the new school and other properties to the state. After his retirement, he devoted himself to public welfare until his peaceful death at the age of 97. Compared with his two elder brothers, Pu Ren chose a completely different life path, spent his life peacefully, and truly realized the meaning that fame and fortune are illusory.

Peace is the greatest happiness!This oral proverb is deeply loved by ordinary people, and Pu Ren spends his life in a low-key manner, living a quiet life. Although unassuming, Pu Ren has made an indelible contribution to the country. According to statistics, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he donated thousands of valuable cultural relics, including portraits of Qing Dynasty emperors, Cixi's handwriting and other precious objects. Perhaps it was because he did not pursue material interests that he was able to live his life in peace.
