During this time, Pu Yi not only harvestedUnderstanding and respect for laborand, more importantly, he rediscovered his humanity.
Working together with fellow inmates and communicating with them in daily lifeIt helped him reconnect himself with the world and radically change his attitude towards life.

When Pu Yi's name was read, the emotions in his heart were uncontrollable, and tears came out of his eyes.
Years in prison had fueled his thirst for freedom, and the arrival of this moment seemed to be the end of his long wait.
At the conference, in addition to Pu Yi,There are many war criminals like him.
They went throughLong trials and painful prison life, bearing the weight of sin. The news of the amnesty seemed to open the door to the future for them to get back on their feet and start anew.
After the amnesty,Pu Yi was arranged to work as a gardener and ticket seller in the Beijing Botanical GardenOne day in the botanical garden, Pu Yi held a pruning tool and carefully trimmed the flowers and plants.
His movements are skillful, and every branch is carefully cared for by him. Despite being a gardener, he is not slacking off, and his love and dedication to plants remain the same.

Zhang Shizhao was puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask ***:"Chairman, who is this guest you have invited?"Why hasn't he arrived yet?”
** replied with a smile:"This guest is the Xuantong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Zhang Shizhao was a little surprised when he heard this answer, and he said to ***: "Chairman,We once fought to overthrow the rule of feudalism, why should we invite a former emperor to our banquet now?
**Calmly but firmly answered:"Our revolution has been victorious, and New China is growing stronger and stronger. Pu Yi was invited to this banquet to show respect and tolerance for him. ”
At the moment of face to face with ***, Pu Yi did not greet him too much, but expressed his inner excitement and emotion with tears in his eyes.
I ......, I really feel ashamed, todayDay to be able to get the best personal reception,It was the greatest honor of my life for me, but what I did was really unforgivable......”
"If we don't talk about this today, the wheel of history cannot be turned back, but we can work together to make China's future better. ”The voice was deep and firm.

You have made the right choice, and I look forward to the outcome of your actions. ”

Two years later, ** learned that Pu Yi's life was not very easy, so he asked someone to inquire about him, and when he learned that Pu Yi only had 180 yuan a month.
**Said:"He used to be the emperor after all, but now life is a little too hard, can he adapt?”After finishing speaking, he took out his own 2,000 manuscript fees.
"Can you help me transfer it to Pu Yi, let him live a better life, don't let him go hungry, he is also an emperor anyway. ”
One early morning, Pu Yi's mood was exceptionally clear. He didn't know what was going to happen today, he just went about accepting his salary. When the 2,000 yuan was handed to him, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
When he learned that the money was brought to him by ***, Pu Yi's voice choked:"I am very grateful for ***'s concern, and I can't repay it. I can't take this money selfishly, I will use it to help more people in need. ”
