Puyi (; 7 February 1906 – 17 October 1967), courtesy name Yaozhi (曜之), was the last emperor of China as the eleventh and final Qing dynasty ruler, becoming the Xuantong Emperor at age two in 1908, but forced to abdicate on 12 February 1912 due to the Xinhai Revolution. "Xuantong", his era name, means "proclamation of unity". He later served as the ruler of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo during World War II.
