The autobiography of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, tells a complete story of his legendary life from a great emperor to an ordinary citizen. The book reviews his court life in the Forbidden City, the turbulent experiences after his abdication, and the transformation process after the founding of New China. It restores the historical changes from the late Qing Dynasty to the early New China from the perspective of an eyewitness, and also shows the ups and downs of personal destiny in the torrent of the times. The work has both authenticity and historical value, and is an important reading for understanding the history of modern China.
