In 1962, ** invited Pu Yi to dinner, and asked during the banquet: Is the food in your imperial dining room delicious?
In December 1959, the "Amnesty Order" issued by ** was transmitted to the War Criminals Management Center in Fushun, Liaoning, and Pu Yi sneered when he learned the news, because he believed that he was guilty of a great crime, and no one would pardon him. However, at the first meeting of amnesty for war criminals, Pu Yi heard his name, and he squatted on the ground to read the amnesty book repeatedly, as if he had been reborn.
Subsequently, without anyone asking for it, Pu Yi wrote a letter of guarantee: First, I will always follow *** and always follow the Communist Party; Second, I will devote the rest of my life to socialist construction until I die.
Figure |Pu Yi.
Pu Yi was the last emperor, also known as the Xuantong Emperor, who abdicated in 1912 and announced the end of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, according to the rules of our country's feudal dynasties, when a dynasty falls, the last emperor will not necessarily be executed, but Pu Yi is different, after his abdication, he became the "Emperor Kant" in the puppet Manchukuo under the control of the Japanese, committed a heinous crime, and faced the fate of being spurned by the people of the whole country.
In Pu Yi's opinion, his life is going to be over, and he has no complaints about being cut by a thousand knives. When a dying person hears that he has been pardoned, this unbelievable feeling is like a dream. However, he did not expect that under the care of ***, not only was he pardoned, but also arranged for him to work, as well as the rights of citizens.
With incomprehension and questions, Pu Yi lived every day with trembling and rules, and it was not until he saw *** that Pu Yi really felt that New China was beautiful, and he was the most respected, admired, and grateful person in his life, and there was no one.
Figure |After Pu Yi was pardoned, he met with him.
** gave Pu Yi a chance to be "reborn".
If Pu Yi had been executed, perhaps he would never have known how the new China differed from the previous feudal dynasties. In 1908 (the 34th year of Guangxu), Empress Dowager Cixi died, and as the de facto ruler of late Qing politics, her death changed the political structure of the Qing Dynasty. According to Cixi's will, Pu Yi would inherit the throne.
On December 2 of this year, under the witness of the Empress Dowager Longyu, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt in front of the 3-year-old Pu Yi, who was young and ignorant, and did not know what they were doing, and did not know what they meant by shouting "Long live, long live, long live, long live".
Pu Yi reigned for less than 3 years when the Wuchang Uprising broke out, which is known as the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution. After the Wuchang Mutiny, the Qing Dynasty was in a panic, since ancient times the mutiny is a major national event, and troops must be sent to suppress it. We all know that when the Empress Dowager Cixi was alive, there was a Sino-Japanese naval battle that humiliated the country, and the Qing Dynasty was already dying in the eyes of all the people.
Figure |Pu Yi was a child.
Now, who will be sent to suppress the revolutionary army? Pu Yi was still young and ignorant, and as a last resort, the regent Zaifeng sent the Minister of War Miaochang to the south, but Miaochang could not command the Beiyang Army at all, and as a last resort, Zaifeng enabled Yuan Shikai, which led to the complete destruction of the Qing Dynasty.
Yuan Shikai is a particularly scheming person, after Sun Yat-sen learned that Yuan Shikai was in power, he made a secret agreement with Yuan Shikai that if Pu Yi could abdicate, he would give him the position of big **, and Yuan Shikai immediately agreed.
* In the first year, that is, on February 12, 1912, Pu Yi abdicated, ** came. Although Pu Yi abdicated, it is undeniable that Pu Yi was 6 years old at this time, and he already had an opinion on what happened, besides, at the instigation of the little eunuchs around him, he had always asked Pu Yi to ensure the royal bloodline and tradition, so when Yuan Shikai went to ask Pu Yi for peace, the little eunuch also scolded Yuan Shikai for kneeling down for Pu Yi, and Yuan Shikai naturally sneered.
In Yuan Shikai's opinion, Pu Yi can do whatever you want, continue to wear a dragon robe if you want to, live in the Forbidden City if you want to live in the Forbidden City, continue to marry the "imperial princess" when you should marry, and play in the mountains and rivers when you should play, but in the final analysis, everything else is up to me Yuan Shikai.
When Pu Yi realized this insecurity of his, he decided to flee this place of right and wrong, and soon went to Tianjin. Unexpectedly, in Tianjin, Pu Yi actually regained the feeling of being an emperor, because the Japanese respected and respected Pu Yi a lot, and called him "emperor", which made Pu Yi like this place very much. In fact, this is the Japanese building momentum for their "puppet Manchukuo", but Pu Yi has no idea.
Figure |Pu Yi, the "Emperor of Kant" in a suit.
After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Pu Yi was completely reduced to a "puppet emperor". The word puppet, interpreted in Chinese, is a metaphor for a person who is not autonomous and can be manipulated by others. Pu Yi was manipulated by the Japanese for 10 years. In the past 10 years, Pu Yi handed over a large number of treasures to the Japanese during his lifetime, and spent a lot of time dressing up, wearing suits, looking for a daughter-in-law, and living very freely despite being controlled.
On August 15, 1945, Japan was defeated, Pu Yi issued the "Edict of Abdication", and on August 19, he was about to take a plane to flee to Japan, and was arrested by the Soviet Red Army. At this point, the first half of Pu Yi's life was completely over. Pu Yi was 39 years old at the time.
In 1946, Pu Yi testified at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, saying that during his tenure as the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, he was completely at the mercy of the Japanese, and had no personal freedom, let alone rights and dignity. However, it is undeniable that during the period when Pu Yi was used by the Japanese, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression brought great resistance and disaster to the people of the whole country, and this crime is unforgivable.
Therefore, although Pu Yi's statement is reasonable, he has not yet had a clearer understanding of his crimes, and he needs to be reformed.
Figure |Pu Yi is in the management office.
During his detention in the detention center, he wrote the book "The First Half of My Life", from which it can be seen that Pu Yi was very seriously educated by feudal ideology, he could not dress and cook, and even could not take care of himself in many daily lives, which became the key to whether he could change.
In the words of ***, New China is new, and that kind of feudal thinking must be abandoned. As for the book written by Pu Yi, ** I have actually read his first draft a long time ago, but I don't want to read it without reading much, ** said that Pu Yi said himself too badly and imposed all his faults on himself, this book is more like a confession, in fact, it is all influenced by history.
**'s words undoubtedly gave Pu Yi an accurate evaluation, which is also an important reason why *** decided to amnesty Pu Yi after that. As *** once said to Zaitao: We are exterminating the entire exploiting class, not any one person.
Shen Zui said that Pu Yi was "bad" by the little eunuch
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** introduced Zaitao to *** and learned that Zaitao was the royal commander of the Qing Dynasty, ** personally received Zaitao and entrusted him with important tasks. Actually, ** has another requirement for Zaitao, that is, he hopes that Zaitao will go to see his nephew, Pu Yi.
Figure |Meet Zaitao.
Zaitao is the seventh son of Baylor and Prince Yiyun of Melxian in the late Qing Dynasty, and the seventh uncle of Puyi. **Asked Zaitao: "Do you still have a relationship with Pu Yi?" Zaitao hurriedly said: "He is a war criminal, how can I have anything to do with him." ”
In fact, Zaitao's words are also expected, Pu Yi is a sinner recognized by the people of the whole country, Zaitao will naturally not set himself on fire, but *** sighed and said: We are eliminating the entire exploiting class, not any person. Your family should care about him, help him, and work together to transform him into a new person, I heard that Pu Yi is studying well, I will give you a task, you go and see him.
Zaitao didn't expect *** to say such a thing, and even said that he felt incredible. This made Zaitao's heart warm suddenly, he felt that his royal family was saved, at least ***'s words proved ***'s recognition of the human rights of the royal family.
After that, Zaitao went to Fushun to see Pu Yi, in Pu Yi's eyes, he disgraced the royal family, it stands to reason that he should have turned against him, who knew that the seventh uncle would come to see him regardless of his previous suspicions. When Zaitao told him that he had accepted the task of *** and came, Pu Yi suddenly felt that *** was too great. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Pu Yi had long heard that *** was a majestic leader, but he didn't expect *** to let his uncle come to visit him, which made Pu Yi feel awe of the Communist Party in his heart.
Figure |Pu Yi and Zaitao take a group photo.
Zaitao told Pu Yi, **I hope you will transform yourself and be a new person. He also told him that ** took special care of our royal family and had their own serious work. The second sister has already founded a street nursery, the third sister is studying in the district CPPCC, the fourth sister works in the archives department of the Forbidden City, the sixth sister is a painter, the seventh sister is an educator, and the fourth brother is a primary school teacher.
At this time, Pu Yi had only one thought in his heart, thank you*** It was because of Zaitao's words that Pu Yi had hope, and he suddenly felt that his suicide was a bit brainless, so he began to study hard and reform well. Read *** books and learn Marxism.
In 1959, Pu Yi was pardoned, and after he was released from prison, he was reborn. In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people were pardoned in the treatment of some war criminals. Like Pu Yi, Zhou Zuoren, Shen Zui and others were pardoned. Shen Zui was a subordinate of Chiang Kai-shek's top killer Dai Li, and after being amnestied, he had a lot of dealings with Pu Yi.
In Shen Zui's impression, he felt that although Pu Yi had been transformed, there was still a feudal ideology in him, of course, this was because he had been an emperor, and that innate cliché seemed to be difficult to get rid of.
Pu Yi once said to Shen Zui, he said that most of the fate of all the last emperors in history was very tragic, and Chongzhen killed his daughter with a sword before committing suicide. Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote "Xiaolou had an east wind last night, and the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight", and then he was killed.
Figure |Drunk.
Shen Zui couldn't imagine that as the last emperor, Pu Yi's thinking was so extreme, and even Pu Yi complained many times that he had been born in the wrong child and should not have been born in the emperor's family. It is precisely because of this concept that Pu Yi once did not dare to mention that he was once the emperor.
Shen Zui once recorded in his memoirs that he invited Pu Yi to visit the Forbidden City. Pu Yi had lived in the palace, and it couldn't have been better to have Pu Yi as his tour guide. When passing by a copper crane in the Forbidden City, there was a concave pit on the body of the copper crane, Pu Yi said, this was the Qianlong Emperor shot an arrow like that.
Shen Zui couldn't imagine that Pu Yi was too honest, this was obviously hit by someone, not Qianlong shot. In fact, this pit was accidentally bumped into by the little eunuch who carried something, and in the strict palace, the little eunuch did not dare to tell the truth, so he made up a set of myths to cover up his mistakes, but was taken seriously by Pu Yi.
Shen Zui said that Pu Yi was "badly played" by the little eunuch back then, and his words were not rough, Pu Yi was young and ignorant, and the eunuchs often imposed a set of feudal ideas on him, making Pu Yi a "puppet" since he was a child. This had an impact on Pu Yi's life, which is one of the reasons why he compared himself to the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Figure |Pu Yi after being amnestied.
Of course, *** also knows that Pu Yi is special compared to others, so he let Pu Yi transform well. Only by abandoning the feudal ideas of the royal family can we live well in New China, which is also responsible for Pu Yi and New China.
After meeting ***, Pu Yi completely changed: Thank you***
After Pu Yi was pardoned, he studied and visited with Shen Zui and other Kuomintang war criminals, and then was assigned to work in the Beijing Botanical Garden. For Pu Yi, it is already the greatest concern.
In the Spring Festival of 1962, ** specially invited Pu Yi to dinner from his busy schedule, which made Pu Yi a little flattered. An ordinary person can be invited to a banquet, which is unwanted.
Before eating, **sold a pass, and before Pu Yi came, **said to the 4 old-timers that an important guest was going to be feasted today, guess who the guest was this time?
Zhang Shizhao, Cheng Qian, Qiu Ao and Wang Jifan all shook their heads, who has such a big pomp and circumstance and will let *** personally feast? Reveal that he was your immediate boss. Everyone is even more puzzled, all of them are social elites, who are highly respected, who else is their boss? With questions, everyone eagerly waited for the attendees.
After Pu Yi came in, ** took the initiative to get up, held Pu Yi's hand tightly, and said to everyone: Why, don't you know each other? This is Pu Yi, he was the Emperor of Xuantong, and we were all his people, isn't this our top boss!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Pu Yi never thought that he would introduce himself so easily, and the unprecedented sense of intimacy made Pu Yi cry inexplicably.
Figure |Meet Pu Yi.
In fact, there are two reasons for the banquet for Pu Yi, one is to unravel the mistakes Pu Yi said in "The First Half of My Life", that is, to correct him. **Say, this is because of social influences to make decisions, there are historical factors, don't be pressured. The second is that I think that although Pu Yi has several imperial concubines, he is now single, and he should find a daughter-in-law, which is related to the rest of your life. **Jokingly, how can the emperor not have a mother.
Actually,**This is concerned about Pu Yi's body, I have long heard that Pu Yi is not in good health and urgently needs someone to take care of him, so let Pu Yi remarry, it is also *** true thoughts, Pu Yi said repeatedly, yes, you are too thoughtful, chairman.
The dishes on the table this time are all the daily meals eaten by ***, compared to the delicacies and seas that Pu Yi once ate in the palace, it is really a world of difference, ** smiled and said, are the dishes in your imperial dining room delicious? It should be much better than this, right? Pu Yi hurriedly shook his head, Pu Yi seemed to let go of himself, and said to everyone with a smile: The dishes in the imperial dining room are too wasteful, and their own food is delicious.
In Pu Yi's heart, this meal is the best meal he has eaten in his life, so reasonable, why not, he couldn't think that ** actually invited himself to dinner in person, and also untied his heart knot for many years, Pu Yi said excitedly: "I never thought of seeing you." ”
This year, under the care of ***, Pu Yi and ** Li Shuxian became husband and wife, and it was this marriage that made Pu Yi truly feel what is true love and what is the warmth of home.
Figure |Photographed at Puyi's wedding tea party, the one on the left side is drunk, and the fifth on the left is Du Fengming.
After that, ** also instructed *** many times at the work meeting to make sure to arrange Pu Yi's life. **Said: I heard that Pu Yi's salary is only 180 yuan, isn't it too little. In the end, ** entrusted Zhang Shizhao to take out a part of the manuscript fee and send it to Pu Yi.
Pu Yi burst into tears after receiving Zhang Shizhao's relay, he cried and said: Chairman, Chairman, I am very happy now, I can earn money by my own labor, and I can't accept this money.
Pu Yi grew up in the palace, and in view of Pu Yi's understanding of the palace, he was arranged to serve as a cultural and historical commissioner in the Cultural and Historical Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Pu Yi's decision was unexpected, and it would be better for Pu Yi to supplement the cultural and historical materials of the Forbidden City, and on the other hand, he could make money through his own efforts.
Figure |Pu Yi in his later years.
After that, Pu Yi had his own right to vote, and at an election meeting, Pu Yi solemnly cast his vote in the election box, appearing very happy.
In his diary that day, he wrote: When I got the ballot that said "Ai Xin Jueluo Puyi", I felt that all the treasures I had seen in my life were not as precious as it, and when I put the vote into the box, I felt that I was the happiest person in the world.
Since then, Pu Yi has undergone great changes, seeing Shen Zui again, Pu Yi has also changed his former thoughts, he and Shen Zui talked about the last emperor again, without the pessimism he once had. In the face of other people's inquiries, he no longer hides the fact that he was once the emperor: the emperor is the emperor, and they all say that I am his top boss.
In the second half of his life, although he is not an emperor anymore, his life is happier than when he was an emperor, and under the care of leaders such as *** and ***, he is like a spring breeze.
Figure |Pu Yi in his later years.
In 1967, Pu Yi was hospitalized due to uremia, and although *** called the best doctor for him, the disease was merciless. Pu Yi died at 2:30 a.m. on October 17, 1967, at the age of 61. Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, who was born on February 7, 1906, returned to the dust with gratitude for the new China.
Master Hongyi wrote down the four words "intersection of sorrow and joy" before his death, and in the second half of Puyi's life, it can be said that there is only one word "Xin", "Xin" is gratification, happiness, and gratitude. is like what he said to his friends: "I, the last emperor, can get such a good end, thanks to China's ***."
