Tales of Prince Gong's Mansion

The Prince Gong Mansion, half the history of the Qing Dynasty.

During the Qianlong era, Heshen built a residence here and spared no expense in making it lavish.

During the Jiaqing era, Heshen fell from power, and the mansion changed hands.

During the Xianfeng era, Prince Gong Yixin moved in and renamed it the Prince Gong Mansion.

During the Republican era, the mansion fell into decline and changed hands several times...

This residence witnessed the Qing Dynasty's entire course, from its height to its fall.

And the story I want to tell today begins on a snowy, windswept night in the forty-first year of the Qianlong era...
