The last person, known as Pu Yi, was a witness to the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Forced to ascend to the throne at the age of three, and having to relinquish it three years later, his childhood was like a bird in a cage, and despite her gorgeous clothes, she could never spread her wings.
He went from a grass man to no longer have the dignity of an emperor, and after several twists and turns, he only recovered his life trajectory when he reached middle age.
He died of an illness in his old age, and until the last moment of his life, he felt extreme grief. Emperor Guangxu was once a powerful man and had no sons after his death. Therefore, Pu Yi, the son of the regent, was adopted by the emperor with the help of Emperor Guangxu and inherited his position as two sons.
At the end of the turbulent Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi, as the king of a country, sat on a dragon chair, facing double pressure from inside and outside. Internally, the patriotic forces are trying to defend the motherland, but externally, the major powers are eyeing them.
The revolution of 1911 plunged the Qing Dynasty into chaos. The Empress Dowager Yulon was forced to ** in 1912, and Pu Yi followed. The fall of the Qing Dynasty marked the end of a feudal empire that lasted for more than 2,000 years.
Although the Qing Dynasty was a thing of the past, the Chinese ** still treated Pu Yi well, promising to provide him with four million yuan a year and let him stay in the Forbidden City.
Many old people and princes of the Qing Dynasty were resistant to new ideas, and they had deep feelings for these kings who had long been respected by them. However, Pu Yi still enjoyed the treatment of an emperor in the palace and was deeply respected by the people.
In 1919, a British Empire** arrived in the Forbidden City and was taught by Pu Yi.
He taught Pu Yi English, mathematics, painting, geography and other courses, so that Pu Yi had the opportunity to learn more about new ideas and broaden his horizons. He longed for a chance to study abroad, and he had planned countless times to escape the court and study abroad.
Pu Yi knew that it was not safe to stay in the Forbidden City, because he was always in danger of his life. In 1925, with the help of his chamberlain, he moved to the concession in Tianjin, where he collaborated with old forces such as Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu to plot to restore imperial rule.
The Japanese are very cunning, and they use all kinds of newspapers and periodicals to publicize the tragedy of Pu Yi in an attempt to build momentum for their "reinstaters," but in fact they are preparing for their continued occupation of China's territory.
The Japanese also personally escorted Pu Yi to Tianjin, affectionately calling him "Emperor". Pu Yi went in and out of various Western occasions every day in Tianjin, and was called "emperor", as if he had found the dignity and respect that an emperor should have.
However, at that time, there were still many places in Tianjin where Chinese were not allowed to go, which was unfair and disrespectful to the Chinese. However, as a Chinese with a special status, Pu Yi was still able to come and go at will.
Pu Yi had a strong inner desire to restore the status of the empire and to return to the era in which he had ruled. All kinds of external reasons made him more and more convinced of his ideals.
However, when he woke up from the drunken fantasy and faced the cold reality, he realized that in this world, there were only some loyal old subordinates left, and there was no real power at all.
Even foreign friends who have great respect for him only outwardly show their support for him. Just when he was depressed, the Japanese came to him and wanted him to inherit the new country.
After thinking twice, Pu Yi resolutely chose to go north and set out on his great cause of restoring the country.
In his previous imagination, Pu Yi firmly believed that Japan was his powerful ally. Japan established a puppet Manchu in northeastern China in 1932. After Japan surrendered to Japan in 1945, the puppet ** established with the support of Japan collapsed.
Pu Yi took the opportunity to flee to Japan, but was captured by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and after spending 5 years of imprisonment in the Soviet Union, he was handed over to China**. Pu Yi was released after 5 years of solitary confinement and returned to living a normal life.
He served three years in Fushun Prison, and because of his hard work and outstanding achievements, he was finally pardoned and enjoyed the same treatment as ordinary workers.
**Specifically asked Pu Yi about his future plans, Pu Yi said that in prison, he had prescribed medicine for them and learned a lot of pharmaceutical things, so he wanted to be a doctor.
New advertising slogan: As a guide to the Forbidden City, Pu Yi grew up in the Forbidden City since he was a child, knows it very well, and he once learned English and geography from a British**, and now has mastered the skills needed to be a guide.
However, the implementation of both options faces a number of challenges. First of all, a physician must have solid medical theory and systematic research ability in order to become a qualified physician.
Secondly, the guide work of the Forbidden City may be a little troublesome for Pu Yi, because he is the last emperor, and everyone wants to know his true identity before, so going to work in a landmark place like the Forbidden City will inevitably attract a lot of attention.
Later, Pu Yi got a job in a botanical garden, like a worker, supporting himself and supporting himself. It didn't take long for the disease to take his life, but at the last moment of his life, he received a precious gift: love.
He married a paramedic Li Shuxian and lived an ordinary and happy life ever since. However, Pu Yi fell ill and often had blood in his urine. Li Shuxian, a medical worker, immediately sent him to the hospital for a medical examination.
Fortunately, the doctor told him that there was no need to worry too much about it now.
After a few more days, Pu Yi's urine bleeding worsened, and the couple went to Beijing for a physical examination. Eventually, the doctor diagnosed him with prodenitis, which he could recover slowly with just medication.
However, despite taking the medication as prescribed, the condition did not improve significantly. By the time he was hospitalized for the second time, his condition had deteriorated to a very bad time and he had been suffering from it. Li Shuxian took care of her in front of the hospital bed, and Pu Yi said sadly: "In fact, I have long known that my illness is very serious, but I am afraid that you will be sad, so I hide it from you." ”
In the days after Pu Yi's death, his condition worsened sharply, and the illness made him unable to speak, and his life was like a year. When the doctor entered the room, he struggled and told the doctor, "I'm going to drink some anti-viline, I can't hold out for long." ”
He said these words over and over again until he died. He died of uremia at the age of 61.
Li Shuxian has been waiting by the bedside, and when she saw him heartbroken, she couldn't help crying. This is the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who died in 1967 at an advanced age.
Although his life was tortuous, after reaching middle age, he worked hard like an ordinary person.
