Features: Aisin Gioro Puyi was the last emperor of China's feudal society. He ascended the throne at the age of three as the Xuantong Emperor. At the age of six, he abdicated and, according to the "Special Treatment Conditions for the Qing Court" issued by the Republic of China government, lived as a "closed-door emperor" within the Forbidden City for 17 years until he was driven out of the palace by General Feng Yuxiang in 1924. After that, he lived in the Japanese concession in Tianjin for a long time and also served as a puppet emperor of "Manchukuo." After Japan's surrender, he became a prisoner of the Soviet Red Army and was sent to Khabarovsk and Blagoveshchensk, where he spent five years in captivity. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was repatriated through Sino-Soviet negotiations and underwent 10 years of study and reform in the War Criminal Management Institute in Fushun, eventually becoming a citizen. He wrote "My Half a Life," which became a bestseller both in China and abroad.
