Memoirs of Empress Dowager Cixi's Private Life: My Two Years by the Empress Dowager's Side

Deling was not objective and impartial when she wrote this book, because it contained strong personal emotions and personal preferences, so this was only the side of the Empress Dowager Cixi in her eyes.

There are more real and detailed daily lives of people who have experienced it than in movies and TV shows. Whether it is the strict rules in the palace, the details of the relationship between masters and slaves, or the episodes behind the scenes in the court, they are all very vivid, and you can really feel the fireworks and rules of that era. It does not deliberately deify or slander, it just talks about what it sees and hears. Reading it is like listening to elders gossiping about the past. It is insightful and effortless. The more you read, the more you understand that the Qing palace was not only about power and intrigue, but also the fireworks and helplessness of ordinary people within the rules. It is worth reading.

Cixi trapped herself, the Qing Dynasty trapped herself, China trapped itself, and people trapped themselves. A person has thousands of faces in front of thousands of people. None of us can truly evaluate Cixi. This book only writes about Cixi from a one-sided perspective. In my personal opinion, Cixi is trapped like thousands of people of the Qing Dynasty, like those who have been in high positions of power for thousands of years. The lofty totalitarians are nothing more than victims of history trapped in a well.

The description in the form of a memoir allows readers to have a very clear understanding of the Qing Palace and the real side of Cixi. In addition to being a ruler of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi was an ordinary woman who loved beauty, gossip, gossip, and was petty. He also thinks highly of himself.

Overall, it is an autobiographical memory with clear logic. It took hundreds of thousands of years to materialize the mysterious appearance of the palace. It is worth reading for those who want to understand the life of the imperial palace in the late Qing Dynasty.

The real life of Lafayette.

It truly reflects the life of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Cixi is not so brutal and cruel, and the description is detailed.

Very good documentary, I like it.

So pretty, I like it

It feels very real and nothing messy
