Features: Jia Yinghua has conducted amateur interviews with over 300 people, collected millions of words of historical materials on the last emperor and late Qing court figures, personally recorded over 100 hours of audio interviews and dozens of hours of video materials of people from the late Qing era onwards, and filmed at his own expense a large number of documentaries on historical figures from the late Qing era onwards, such as the last eunuch visiting the Forbidden City and the last eunuch recalling his life. These works attracted close attention both domestically and internationally. (The subject of the book A Record of the Last Emperor's Heir Appointing was Mr. Yu Yan, who had long followed Puyi and became an ordinary citizen after labor reform after the liberation. The book, written in the first person by the author, was awarded the best-selling book at the second Beijing Book Festival.)
