The Last Manchu: The Autobiography of Henry Pu Yi, Last

The Last Manchu: The Autobiography of Henry Pu Yi, Last Emperor of China

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 Pekingâ€™s Forbidden City, but with none of the power his birth afforded him. The remainder of Pu Yiâ€™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. The Last Manchu is a unique, enthralling record of Chinaâ€™s most turbulent, dramatic years.
