who was pu yi and what happened to him?
Puyi (Chinese: æº¥å; 7 February 1906 â 17 October 1967), of the Manchu Aisin Gioro clan, commonly known as Henry Pu Yi, was the last Emperor of China and the twelfth and final ruler of the Qing dynasty.
Pu Yi was pardoned by Mao Zedong in 1959. He was 51, and alone in the world. A friend who wanted to help ease Pu Yi's loneliness introduced him to Li, a nurse at a small hospital in Beijing. Everything happened quickly, recalled Li. We had six dates in six months and then we decided to marry. I was 37.
Child Emperor. Young Puyi didn't know what was going on when he was crowned the emperor of China at the age of two years old. He cried through much of the ceremony. During the four years that Puyi was emperor, he didn't really rule China, but had a regent who ruled for him. He was treated like an emperor, however.
