Puyi's life can be described as pathos. In the name of the emperor, he suffered the physical and mental torture of the country's destruction and imprisonment.
Puyi's sadness seems to be doomed from birth. His miserable childhood, painful growth and dark house arrest all ended in silence for the rest of his life.
(1) acceded to the throne as a child, and the tragedy began. 1908, at the ceremony of the new emperor's accession to the throne, two-year-old Puyi finally cried impatiently in the golden chair in the main hall, and was carried down to end the ceremony hastily, announcing the emperor's passing. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty acceded to the throne under heavy gunfire. A sad life begins from this.
Puyi is not an heir. He was originally Su Wan Guarding, the son of Prince Zai Feng, the regent, and the daughter of Rong Lu. After the early death of Emperor Guangxu, Cixi urgently needed to find a new puppet to stop the gun. Puyi, who was still a child with a yellow mouth, unfortunately became Cixi's dish.
It should have been an honor to be elected emperor by the Empress Dowager herself, but the situation facing China at this time can be said to be full of dangers. The so-called imperial power has long been a hot potato, and the emperor is no different from the prisoner who is going to be crucified. However, at this time, Puyi, a yellow-tongued child, did not know this and was still in the stage of satisfying his appetite.
(2) Childhood was sad and cowardly. It is said that Puyi was also an emperor and should be taken care of when he was young, but Puyi lived at a young age and was not treated as an emperor. Puyi was too young to understand and learn the so-called teachings of Empress Dowager Cixi and Yulong, so she was punished for not eating or drinking.
The child was young, but he didn't even eat a meal, so Puyi was sickly from an early age. As can be seen from the old photos left, Puyi is not tall and glamorous. He has no sense of majesty of the emperor at all, but is thin and haggard.
Puyi was taken to be emperor by Cixi, but he didn't get the treatment that the emperor deserved. He didn't get a thousand thanks, and he was bullied by servants. It is said that Puyi once grabbed the dried steamed bread from the eunuch and fed it to the fish in his mouth because he was too hungry. It sounds really miserable. In the daily life of the palace, Puyi was often tortured by the little eunuch. They kept young and ignorant Puyi in a dark room until he was tired of crying.
Recalling her life, Puyi said that she had never given birth to a child because her fertility was seriously affected. The main reason for this situation is that she was bullied by a maid-in-waiting when she was a child and her body was hollowed out. When I was a child, Puyi was ignored by Cixi and suffered more. People in the palace naturally don't value him, and some ladies-in-waiting force her to vent her desires. This is fundamentally harmful to the body. Therefore, Puyi's sexual function was greatly damaged, and her fertility was also seriously affected.
It is conceivable how Puyi, who grew up in such an environment, lived. 19 12, six-year-old Puyi was kicked out of the dragon chair and started a new miserable life. After the founding of the Republic of China, Yuan Datou continued to respect Puyi as emperor and let him live in the Forbidden City.
After the coup, Puyi left the Forbidden City and became the puppet emperor of the puppet Manchukuo. Puyi, who grew up gradually, began to understand what had happened to her. As a puppet, he became more and more miserable.
(3) After an inhuman childhood, Puyi lived in exile for the rest of his life. After Japan surrendered, Puyi naturally became an accessory. However, because Puyi is a descendant of the royal family after all, he did not suffer much in the detention center of the Soviet Union and the Fushun War Criminals Management Office in China.
During the period of 1959, the state pardoned Puyi and arranged a formal job for Puyi. During that time, Puyi's life was the same as that of ordinary people, but it was still stable. 1967 Puyi, who was terminally ill, finally ended his sad life, and a generation of emperors finally returned to the soil.
Puyi's life is really sad. Born in the war-torn era, he was destined to be a puppet from an early age, seemingly an emperor, but actually a prisoner. Puyi was also scolded by countless people from a young emperor puppet to an adult Japanese puppet. Whether abused by Cixi or used by Yuan Datou, his own heart is of course struggling and collapsing.
At the beginning, Emperor Guangxu was still struggling to reform, but later Puyi was completely powerless. Puyi had a miserable childhood, which was a tragic memory of his life. Until he left this world, it still lingered.
