Nine-year-old Pu Yi was lying in the arms of a twenty-eight-year-old nurse** when he was unexpectedly bumped into by the chief eunuch Zhang Qian. The nurse Wang Lianshou immediately pushed Pu Yi away, tidied up his clothes, and turned his back. Seeing this, Zhang Qian reminded: "Your Majesty, you are already nine years old, and you can't be ** anymore!" ”
On the way home was Nian Wang Lianshou, a woman born into a poor peasant family, who became the wife of an errand at the age of sixteen, but still lived in poverty. Three years later, she gave birth to a daughter, however, her husband, who was the breadwinner of the family, died shortly after the birth of her daughter. In order to support his elderly in-laws and young daughter, Wang Lianshou enlisted as a nurse in Prince Alcohol's Mansion.
Because of his good appearance and sufficient milk, Wang Lianshou was selected as Puyi's nursing mother. At that time, the nurse was the closest person to the child, and her status was not that of a slave. But there are two rules for becoming a nursing mother: one is that you must breastfeed, and the other is that you must eat one unseasoned pork knuckle every day to ensure that the milk is sufficient.
Wang Lianshou became Pu Yi's nurse in order to support the lives of his daughter and in-laws. What she didn't know, however, was that shortly after she left home, her daughter starved to death due to lack of milk.
Despite this, Wang Lianshou still sends money home every month and tells her in-laws to save money so that her daughter can have a better life in the future. No one told Wang Lianshou this secret, because it was necessary to maintain the quality of her milk.
When Pu Yi was admitted to the palace, he was only accompanied by the nursing mother Wang Lianshou. Because he was separated from his mother since he was a child and failed to receive sincere care in the palace, Pu Yi became extremely dependent on his nursing mother.
Until Pu Yi was nine years old, the concubines thought he had been weaned and drove Wang Lianshou out of the palace. Pu Yi has no right to resist, so he can only miss his nursing mother. After returning home, Wang Lianshou learned that his daughter had already starved to death.
In 1922, after Pu Yi got married, he looked for the nurse Wang Lianshou everywhere and took her back to the palace. When she was the emperor in puppet Manchuria, Pu Yi also took good care of her.
In 1945, Wang Lianshou died under the guns of the Japanese, ending her tragic life.
