CPUL Release: The Last Manchu KINDLE MOBI Autobiography of the Last Emperor of China by Henry Pu Yi H.A.

The Last Manchu is a unique, enthralling record of China’s most turbulent, dramatic years and is a must read for anyone interested in Chinese history. The book covers practically all aspects of the life of Aisin Gioro Pu Yi from his brief period on the dragon throne to being a "reformed" man in Peking in the 1960's. A tragic figure, his story is fully told.
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 Peking’s Forbidden City, but with none of the power his birth afforded him. The remainder of Pu Yi’s 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 in a Chinese "re-education" camp and living to see early years of the turbulent and contradictory Cultural Revolution.
