Imperial Family of China

[Devin]

To say it short, I am really intrested in the last empror of China. The reason why I'm intrested is that I saw this facinating movie called "The Last Empror" directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. This is more than a simple movie it's really touching and I think that everyone should see it. I have come to be very curious about his life and the last chineese dynasty called "Qing" or "Ching".
Henry Pu-Yi (1906-67) was the last emperor of China. His reign name was Hsuan Tung. After the abdication the republicans gave him permition to live in the Forbidden City of Beijing until 1924. After that he lived in the Japanese territory in Tiajin. In 1934 he was crowned emperor of the Japanese puppet state of "Manchukuo" or Machuria. At the end of the war the Russians advanced into Manchuria and captured Emperor Pu Yi. He was kept comfortable in Russia until 1950 when he was turned over to the government of Communist China. He was imprisoned at Shenyang until 1959. Finally, the government decided he could be useful as a propaganda tool and released him to become a gardener. Empror Pu Yi died in 1967, it's unclear how. But he died probably whether from cancer or maybe he was killed by the Chinese sectret police.

May I present "The Great Emperor of the Great Ching Dynasty, Great Kahn of Tartary, Son of Heaven and Lord of Ten Thousand Years"
