The eunuch served the concubine at night, and his shoes were hidden
endured the pain and purified himself, only to find that the emperor was no longer there. This answer is a true portrayal of the protagonist of today's story, Sun Yaoting, the last eunuch in China.
Although this answer seems comical, even a little funny, when we understand this history in depth, we can only feel deep sadness and helplessness.
Why can he be ruthless from the palace, and where will the emperor go after his abdication? Why did he put a cang's ear in his shoes when he kept vigil outside the door? This article will lead you to explore the life of the last eunuch Sun Yaoting and reveal the secrets of the court.
Don't forget to learn these hidden historical truths together.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, wars raged and the people lived in dire straits. The invasion of the Western powers and the oppression of the feudal landlords and bureaucratic comprador capitalists made the peasants miserable, as if they were overwhelmed by the "three mountains".
They can only survive by eating grass roots, tree bark and even poisonous Guanyin soil, and people die every day in despair and pain.
Sun Yaoting's family had a difficult life, but they still managed to make ends meet, as Chinese farmers have done for thousands of years, through hard farming and frugality.
However, the good times did not last long, the landlords in the village plundered their land, and at that time, the **because**, they drove their family out of the village, making them immediately face the dilemma of not being able to live.
Sun Yaoting watched his parents and family suffer and felt very unbearable, so he decided to find a way to make money to subsidize the family.
In those turbulent times, it was difficult for ordinary people to find a stable way to make a living. Sun Yaoting had to think of his fellow countryman Xiao Dezhang, who was a great eunuch in the palace at that time, and like Sun Yaoting, he came from a poor family.
Looking at Xiao Dezhang's majestic demeanor when he returned to his hometown, Sun Yaoting secretly made up his mind in his heart.
Due to financial difficulties, Sun Yaoting was unable to hire a professional cleanser, so his father had to cleanse him at home. However, in the process, his grandfather's operation mistake almost endangered Sun Yaoting's life.
His **'s wounds kept bleeding and couldn't stop no matter what. Fortunately, his uncle arrived in time and pasted the wound with pepper oil paper, and after many days, the bleeding finally stopped.
Unfortunately, an unprofessional operation caused him irreparable damage, causing him to leak urine from time to time and his life became extremely painful. However, even so, at the moment when the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Pu Yi abdicated, and the emperor's dream was shattered, he still did not give up his responsibility for the family and wanted to subsidize the family by entering the palace.
However, the disappearance of the emperor has put him in a difficult situation, where should he go from here?
In the life of a hard-working child, there is a glimmer of hope. In order to invade China, the Japanese army supported Pu Yi to establish the "puppet Manchukuo", which also meant that the court still needed someone to serve it.
Therefore, someone in the palace came to the people to recruit eunuchs, and Sun Yaoting seized this opportunity, successfully signed up to become a eunuch, and began his miserable life of "people under people".
He served in the mansion of the last prince Zaitao for several years, and was introduced to the palace because of his cleverness and ability. With his own strength and hard-working spirit, he achieved good results in the palace, constantly promoted his position, and finally came to serve by the queen Wanrong's side.
Serving by the side of the concubine is busier than simply working, and it needs to be on call at any time, and as long as the master needs it, the eunuch needs to go in immediately to solve the problem.
New copywriting: In this deep palace, Sun Yaoting worked hard day and night, but the long hours of labor and long nights made him often feel tired. At the beginning, he couldn't help but nap at night and it became a part of his heart.
There were also a few nights when he couldn't help but take a nap, but he knew that he couldn't sleep in this palace, because once he was called by the queen and he couldn't hear it, it meant that according to the palace rules, he would be served by the board.
Sun Yaoting, who has been in the palace for several years, has been boarded because of his mistakes, and he has also witnessed the death of other eunuchs and palace maids because of the board, which made him deeply understand the importance of staying sober.
He was determined to find a solution to this problem. Later, he consulted the elderly eunuchs in the palace and learned a secret recipe - put a cang'er in the shoe. When people are sleepy, their bodies will sink unconsciously, and the stinging pain of the ears will make them wake up naturally.
This method is similar to "head hanging beam, cone piercing stock", the difference is that Su Qin is studying hard to pursue his future, while Sun Yaoting is due to the cruel exploitation of the feudal system.
Cang'er is in his shoes, not only will he sting when he dozes off, but he will also have a slight pain when he walks, but he has no choice, in order to survive, he can only adapt. Every step is like a reminder that he always remembers his status as an "inferior person".
3. A new life after liberationIn 1924, Pu Yi was expelled by the Beiyang warlords, and all the eunuchs were also driven out of the palace. Despite being out of the palace, Sun Yaoting's life is still full of difficulties.
His body was mutilated and he was constantly leaking urine, which prevented him from doing heavy physical work, and he was discriminated against and bullied. However, all this began to change after the founding of the state. "
The red sun rises in the east, and its avenues are full of glow", a new dawn illuminates his life. With the "Chinese people stand up!" China ended its century-long history of humiliation and the thousand-year-old rule of feudal dynasties.
The people became the masters of the country and held all the power in their hands. The workers were actively involved in production, and the peasants were freed from oppression. Even those eunuchs who were once forced to lose their fertility lived a life that truly belonged to "people", and the state provided subsidies for them, including Sun Yaoting.
He used his literacy skills to find a job, and through hard work, he was able to earn his salary every month and experience a life of respect and equality. For him, this was once an unattainable dream, and it was also an unimaginable life for the people at the bottom of old China.
Under the shackles of the old society, people seem to be turned into desperate ghosts; However, under the dawn of the new society, ghosts are gradually given new powers.
The founding of the People's Republic of China was like a bolt of lightning piercing the dark night sky and bringing hope to the people living in suffering. Today, the Chinese nation is marching firmly and steadily on the road of great rejuvenation.
We must not forget our original intention, forge ahead, and bravely continue to struggle on the journey of building a new era, without hesitation!
