Puyi

Puyi is a person, it is difficult to simply judge whether he is good or bad. He has been an emperor since he was a child and thinks he has everything. But the Republic of China government and the Japanese demonstrated against him with foreign guns and cannons. In the history of 5,000 years, he was a rare emperor of "Three Ups and Three Falls". He once proclaimed the emperor three times: the last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xun's emperor when he was restored, and the "Manchukuo" emperor; he surrendered three times: to the Republic of China Surrender, surrender to the Japanese, and surrender to the People's Republic of China. In general, Puyi can be seen as a person who has no energy and no accurate ideas, or is a mediocre person, a little ignorant. Yes, he also wanted to do some big things, such as taking refuge in Japan and taking the revenge of Xue Sun Dianying to dig ancestral graves, but he is incapable of himself, and those who approach him just want to use him. In this way, to say that Puyi was a first-class war criminal really exalted him. He was the victim of a dynasty. When the dynasty comes to an end, there will always be someone who will be pushed to the front line involuntarily, and will maintain its final dignity in a shattered way.

The Last Emperor quotes

  • Chang: [to Reginald] The Emperor awards you with the order of the Ruby Hat Button, and with the right to be carried in your own chair, with four bearers.

  • Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: It would be conveniently sad if he becomes blind. To the expense, Your Excellency. To the cost of maintaining one thousand two hundred eunuchs, three hundred and fifty ladies-in-waiting and one hundred and eighty-five cooks to buying a hundred and twenty sable furs a month and three thousand chickens a week. To the fact that eight hundred and forty guards and employees of the household department, plus one Lord Chamberlain, care only about one thing! Filling their own rice bowls!
