At the beginning of the new year in 1955, ** was intently reviewing documents in his study, when suddenly, a unique material caught his attention. This material was personally sent by Zhang Shizhao, the director of the ** Museum of Culture and History, in addition to a letter he wrote to ***, there is also a wedding photo full of youth and a set of Manchu flag photos full of national characteristics, as well as a stack of neatly written self-report letters, which made *** deeply surprised.
Agreed". So, who is this woman who caught their attention? Jin Yunying is Pu Yi's younger sister, her real name is Aixin Jueluo Yunying, and she ranks third in the family, so she is also known as "Sangege".
She was born in the Forbidden City of Beijing in 1913, and later changed her surname to Jin because of her Aixin Jueluo family, so she had the name "Jin Yunying". Although the Qing Dynasty had been overthrown, the Manchu royal family still existed in the Forbidden City, so she still lived a worry-free life.
As early as the establishment of ***, the emperor's honorific title had not been abolished, and there were still 4 million taels ** for the Manchu royal family to use every year. However, for Kim Yunying, who is in her teens, this did not bring her any joy and freedom.
She spent her childhood in isolation, unaware of the outside world and the lives of her peers. Until 1924, as Feng Yuxiang led his troops to besiege the Forbidden City, Emperor Puyi was expelled from the palace, and Jin Yunying also left the palace walls she was familiar with and came to live in Tianjin with her brother.
After leaving the Forbidden City, Jin Yunying felt a freedom she had never felt before, and her innocent character gradually revealed. She spends her free time studying Japanese or English with Pu Yi and her siblings, and spends her free time playing tennis.
Jin Yunying and Pu Yi are siblings of the same mother, both born to the Guerjia clan, so Pu Yi dotes on this sister very much, and will accompany her to play tennis whenever he is free. As time passed, Jin Yunying gradually changed from an ignorant little girl to a beautiful and moving big girl.
When she was 19 years old, Pu Yi was in charge, and she was engaged to the second son of the former Qing minister Rong Yuan, who was also the younger brother of Empress Wanrong. Runqi has a cheerful personality and is decisive, so he can be said to be Pu Yi's confidant.
Therefore, Pu Yi married his most beautiful, virtuous, and favorite sister to Runqi. In 1931, with the outbreak of the "918 Incident", Pu Yi, who was in Jingyuan in Tianjin, believed that the time had come to "restore the Manchu imperial family" with the help of Japan's armed forces.
On 30 September, the Japanese commander of the Tianjin garrison invited Pu Yi to his headquarters to discuss an important matter. Although Pu Yi thought that going to the Northeast was a good thing to ask for, this matter was related to his fate and future after all, so he said: "Please go back and think about this matter, and I will tell you the answer as soon as I have the answer." ”
In order to achieve their goal as soon as possible, the Japanese sent Kenji Dohihara, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, to Tianjin to strengthen the monitoring and control of Puyi.
In order to realize Pu Yi's plan to go to the northeast, Kenji Tsuchihara has always treated him with extreme respect and gentleness, and respectfully called him "His Majesty the Emperor" in front of Pu Yi. However, when Pu Yi arrived at the Yamato Hotel in Lushun, the Japanese put him under house arrest and prevented him from moving freely.
At this time, Pu Yi and Wanrong feel lonely and helpless, and urgently need someone to accompany and take care of their daily lives. In this predicament, Pu Yi remembered his second and third sisters, Jin Yunying, and asked the Japanese to invite them.
In order not to get into trouble with Pu Yi, the Japanese brought the second sister Yun Ying and the third sister Yun Ying to the Northeast. Although they were only separated for one month, the sisters who saw each other again felt like they had been separated from each other for three autumns, which alleviated the uneasiness in Pu Yi's heart.
On the afternoon of March 9, 1932, the provisional system of the Changchun Daoyin Office held the "inauguration ceremony" of the puppet Manchukuo, and Pu Yi served as the "new head of state".
Although the second and third sisters did not have specific positions, as the younger sisters of the "ruler" Pu Yi, they also participated in this "ceremonial ceremony". It can be seen from Pu Yi's attention and cherishing to the two sisters that his life in the Northeast was accompanied and supported by the two sisters.
Zhang Shizhao asked *** to find a suitable job for Jin Yunying, and ***'s response to this request was? In 1933, Yun Ying and Runqi held a wedding in Changchun.
Less than a month after getting married, Pu Yi arranged for Pu Jie and Runqi to go to Japan to study military affairs, and they could come back to help themselves after completing their studies. As his wife, Yun Ying also followed Runqi to Japan.
When she first arrived in Japan, Yun Ying was tightly surrounded by the Japanese imperial family, who tried to woo her and make her the honorary president of the women's association. In addition, the younger sister-in-law of "Emperor Hirohito" specially invited her to her apartment and asked her to teach herself Chinese.
At first, Yun Ying was able to cope, but as time went on, she felt very tired and constrained, so she often wrote letters to her brother Pu Yi. As time went by, more and more letters were written.
Pu Yi cares about Yun Ying very much, and will send her 300 yuan every month as a living allowance, and will also purchase some special products from Beijing and other places to send to her to ease her longing for her hometown.
Although he was very bored in the Northeast, Pu Yi sometimes made some "pranks" in his letters to his sister. Once, Yun Ying, who was far away in Japan, received a letter from Pu Yi, and when she opened it, she found a lot of dim sum scum, and she knew that it was her brother's prank.
The Japanese maid on the side felt very strange and asked, "Why is there a little scumbag in the letter?" ”
I am Sangege Aixin Jueluo Yunying of the Qing Dynasty, and I am also Puyi's own sister. I don't want to run away anymore, I'm willing to correct my ......In order to prove her determination, Jin Yunying also handed over more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, leaving only a few changes of clothes.
After that, she took her three children to live in Tonghua.
Jin Yunying was originally a "three-grid" who lived a life of fine clothes and food, but life is impermanent, and she is now a commoner, and this change makes her a little uncomfortable. However, no matter how difficult life may be, she has to persevere because she still has three children to raise.
She took off her luxurious cheongsam, took off her precious jewelry, changed into an ordinary blue cloth shirt, set up a cigarette stand on the street, and made a living by selling cigarettes. At first, she couldn't pull her face and open her mouth to sell, but when she thought of the child, she was full of strength.
She completely abandoned the identity of "Sangege", regarded herself as an ordinary person, and shouted at the crowd on the street: "Cigarettes, sell cigarettes, cheap and easy cigarettes, come and buy them!" ”
When the people on the street saw that the cigarette seller was a woman, and she was still an unfamiliar face, they came to her stall to see how the cigarettes were doing. Seeing that there were more and more guests, the smile on Jin Yunying's face became brighter and brighter.
In 1949, with the liberation of Beijing, Jin Yunying was told by the ** staff: "You can go back to Beijing to live." In this way, she returned to Beijing with her three children and lived with her mother-in-law, who worked hard as usual in exchange for a better life.
In 1951, her father Zaifeng died, and she received some of the inheritance and survived on the rent of several old houses. It was also from this time that Jin Yunying began to participate in the work of the street, and because she was literate and hyphenated, everyone recommended her to be the head of the resident team and the director of public security.
At this time, Jin Yunying never expected that one day after that, her fate would change and she would get the attention of ***.
One day in 1954, Zhang Shizhao, the director of the ** Museum of Culture and History, was strolling on the street when he was attracted by a used book stall. In a book called "Records of the Remnants of the Palace", he found some letters and life records of the royal family.
Among them, he was deeply attracted by a letter written by Jin Yunying to his brother Puyi. The letters are full of innocence and mischievousness, but at the same time reveal a fluid and relaxed atmosphere.
Among the old and young relics of the late Qing Dynasty, these dozen or so light-hearted and lively letters are particularly interesting. So, Zhang Shizhao had the idea of meeting Jin Yunying, and he went to Puyi's seventh uncle Zaitao to ask.
Zaitao told him that Pu Yi did have a younger sister named Jin Yunying, known as "Sangege", and the two of them were the same mother. Jin Yunying recently moved back to Beijing from the northeast, and Zhang Shizhao wanted to know what he was looking for her.
Zhang Shizhao told Zaitao that he had seen a book at the bookstall that contained some letters and life records of the royal family, and that Jin Yunying's letters intrigued him and that he wanted to meet her.
A few days later, Zaitao took Jin Yunying to Zhang Shizhao's residence. However, Zhang Shizhao was surprised to find that this Sangege was not young, but dressed simply, but he could still see the richness of his previous life in his speech and demeanor.
When Zhang Shizhao learned that Jin Yunying was living a difficult life by selling cigarettes, he deeply regretted it and put forward a suggestion: "The country is making rapid progress, the people of all ethnic groups are uniting and building, and the policy should also be implemented."
Although Manchukuo no longer exists, its people remain. Zhang Shizhao suggested that Jin Yunying write a self-statement, and he would submit it to *** to see if he could arrange a job for her.
After a period of waiting, Jin Yunying sent her self-report book, which included her ** and experience. **After seeing it, I was deeply touched: "Go to the masses of the people and become an ambitious person." ”
Subsequently, he handed the self-statement to *** for him to consider whether to dispose of it as appropriate. Soon after, Jin Yunying was appointed as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing's Dongcheng District, and her life was greatly improved.
When Jin Yunying learned of ***'s arrangement, she said with emotion: "* is really great! * Believe that people can change. In addition to Jin Yunying, ** also had contact with many people in the last royal family.
Grandpa Mao has arranged an important task for you, go to Fushun to see your nephew, and you can also bring other relatives, after all, you haven't seen you for many years, you can catch up with the old days. ”
Now, Zaitao knows that Grandpa Mao is not joking, but serious. After Grandpa Mao told Zaitao to let him go and see Pu Yi, he handed over this task to *** and handed over the matter to Peng Zhen, the mayor of Beijing.
And this staff member was sent by Peng Zhen to implement the specific details of Zaitao and others going to Fushun to visit relatives.
After some deliberation, Zaitao decided to take Jin Yunying and Yun Xin with him to Fushun, where their husbands, Runqi and Wan Jiaxi, were also imprisoned. According to Jin Yunying's recollection, before they set off, Uncle Seven took them to the city to visit Mayor Peng, and Mayor Peng specially told them that the weather over there was cold, so they should wear more clothes to prevent colds, and gave them 100 yuan to buy thick clothes.
Mayor Peng also said: "You are going to see relatives this time, you can bring snacks and fruits, ** will pay for it." However, Zaitao and Uncle Seven decided not to bring it because they considered that what was in prison might lead to liability.
Although Mayor Peng asked them to go on their own, they thought it was safer to let ** accompany them. Mayor Peng agreed, and sent Section Chief Ding of the Public Security Bureau to go with them.
Section Chief Ding is very nice, takes care of them along the way, and takes them to the park, which is very thoughtful. On March 9, 1956, Zaitao, Jin Yunying and others arrived in Fushun, and came to the war criminals management center early the next morning, where they met Puyi, Runqi and other members of the Aixin Jueluo family.
Zaitao and Jin Yunying came to the management office, and as soon as they saw Pu Yi and Runqi, they said: "This time I was able to come thanks to ***'s instructions, and the prime minister also asked Mayor Peng to make clothes for us according to ***'s instructions, and all the expenses for us to come to Fushun will also be borne by ......the state."Before Zaitao finished speaking, Pu Yi's tears fell.
Zaitao, Jin Yunying and others stayed in Fushun for a long time, and they also saw Puyi, Runqi and others many times. Later, Pu Yi excitedly said to the staff of the War Criminals Management Center: "* and *** are so busy with work, I didn't expect them to remember me, I really didn't expect it!" ”
On 14 September 1959, at a meeting,** it was proposed that the rehabilitated war criminals be released. On 17 September, the meeting adopted a resolution on amnesty for criminals who have reformed their evil and turned to good.
Subsequently, an amnesty was issued. The news delighted many war criminals, who were speculating about who would be pardoned. One of them began to pack his bags and prepare to get out of prison, but Pu Yi seemed to have some low self-esteem.
When asked if he felt that he would be pardoned, he replied: "No one will have me, my mistakes are too serious, even in my daily performance, I am not as good as others, I am not good enough for amnesty." ”
However, on the morning of December 4, 1959, the first batch of amnesty for war criminals in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center was held, and when the staff read out the list of amnesty personnel, Pu Yi in the audience was stunned, he couldn't believe that his name was among them.
The first batch of amnesty for Pu Yi was not only unexpected by Pu Yi himself, but also by other war criminals. When discussing which war criminals to release at first, many people did not take Pu Yi into account, after all, the mistakes he made were unforgivable.
However, at the debriefing meeting to study the handling of war criminals, Pu Yi's name was first proposed, and the first decision to pardon him was made.
After being pardoned, Pu Yi returned to Beijing, where he met his sister Yun Ying and his seventh uncle Zaitao, and secretly decided to serve the motherland and work hard.
On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1961, a family banquet was held in Zhongnanhai, attended by not only *** couples, but also Puyi, Zaitao, Yun Ying, Yun Gong and other members of the Aisin Gioro family.
During the meal, ** inquired in detail about Yun Ying's son's condition: "Yun Ying, how is your son's condition?" Yun Ying replied: "After the child came to Beijing, he slept on a plaster bed for four or five years, and recently he has put on a skeleton and can stand, and I believe that he will be able to go to school normally after that." ”
** nodded and said: "The child's body is well recovered, and the rest should not be so urgent." As for the arrangement of your work, it was given to me at the beginning, and I will hand it over to the people below. ”
Listening to ***'s words, Yun Ying was very moved, but she didn't know how to express her gratitude. At this moment, Pu Yi on the side answered in time: "Yes, yes, who would have thought that the lazy Sangege would now become a person who does things for the country!" ”
**The transformation of Pu Yi and Jin Yunying is satisfactory. He firmly believes: "Human potential is limitless, as long as you guide and work hard, you will be able to change yourself." ”
