Summary
An account of imperial life by Henry Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China--who ascended to the throne at the age of two--illuminates the course of the country's history during the twentieth century
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In 1908 at the age of two, Henry Pu Yi ascended to become the last emperor of the centuries-old Manchu dynasty. After revolutionaries forced Pu Yi to abdicate in 1911, the young emperor lived for thirteen years in Pekingâs Forbidden City, but with none of the power his birth afforded him. The remainder of Pu Yiâs life was lived out in a topsy-turvy fashion: fleeing from a Chinese warlord, becoming head of a Japanese puppet state, being confined to a Russian prison in Siberia, and enduring taxing labor. The Last Manchu is a unique, enthralling record of Chinaâs most turbulent, dramatic years.
