As the last emperor in Chinese history, Puyi had a very rough life. He ascended the throne at a young age, was forced to abdicate and then became a puppet of the Japanese. Although he seemed to have a glorious life, he actually had no power in his hands and could only be manipulated by others.

After the end of World War II, he was extradited from the Soviet Union to China. After ten years of labor reform, he was pardoned and released from prison, and started a new life. In 1967, he died peacefully in Beijing due to uremia.

After Puyi's death, his ashes were supposed to be placed in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing, but after much effort, they were moved to the Hualong Mausoleum.So some people questioned why Puyi's body was still allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after the Qing Dynasty had been destroyed for more than half a century. Let's take a look at what happened.

In order to maintain her power, Empress Dowager Cixi placed Guangxu under house arrest, announced that he was terminally ill, and let her take charge of government affairs, while secretly looking for a suitable successor.

At this time, the three-year-old Puyi came into her sight. After the death of Emperor Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Puyi to inherit the throne and become the emperor, while his father Zaifeng assisted him as the regent.

However, his reign was interrupted by the Xinhai Revolution after only a few years, and he was forced to abdicate. After his abdication, Puyi was still allowed to live in the Forbidden City until Feng Yuxiang and others drove him out of the palace in 1924.
