Features: As the last empress and imperial concubine of the Chinese Empire, Wanrong went mad and died, while Wenxiu ran away. They were both victims of the imperial era, but also epitomized the great changes in modern society. Peeling away the layers of mystery and dispelling the misconceptions of fictionalized tales, this book presents the truth through historical records and details, faithfully recreating the absurd scene of the complete decline of the Qing Empire a century ago. With 200 precious old photographs, it restores the tragic life of Wanrong and the awakening of Wenxiu's female consciousness, reflecting the beauty and sorrow of late Qing Chinese women.
