As the king of a fallen country, in most cases, the outcome will be very miserable. Take the last emperor Puyi as an example. It is a great blessing to be able to spend the second half of his life as a civilian, have a job and a family.

As the king of the devastated country, in most cases, the outcome will be very miserable. Take the last emperor Puyi as an example. It is already a great blessing to be able to spend the second half of his life as a civilian, have a job and a family.

However, there are always surprises in history. Who would have thought that after years of exile, the last Tsar not only lived a stable and prosperous life again, but also was able to regain the state's power through elections. What has a legendary figure like

experienced?

From the monarch to the exile

Simeon Borisov Saxony-Coburg-Godard, born on June 16, 1937 in Bulgaria capital Sofia .

His father is King of Bulgaria Boris III , his mother is Italian princess Giovanna, and he is also a distant relative of Queen Elizabeth II of England.

Boris III was 43 years old at that time, but he only had a daughter. You can imagine how much joy the birth of Simiang brought to him.

To celebrate the birth of the heir to the throne, Boris III ordered: 101 cannons, tax exemptions, release 4,000 prisoners, abolish the death penalty, and even the students' grades were added first.

But this joy did not last long. When Simeon was only 6 years old, Boris III died of illness. The young Simeon was declared king, and was called Simeon II at that time.

Although Ximei'an was just a child at that time, many years later, Ximei'an still said confidently in an interview: "Although I am just a child, I am definitely not worse than adults when governing the country."

Unfortunately, his ruling career was only three years. On September 15, 1946, Bulgaria held a referendum on to support the republic and abolish the monarchy.

In one night, Simeon changed from a high-ranking king of a country to the most redundant person in this country.

The next day, Simeon and his sister, mother, aunt and other relatives were deported to Istanbul .

The sudden huge setback will hit them as you can imagine. His mother began to become cautious and her plants and trees were all soldiers.

When they left the palace, passing by a small Soviet military squad, his mother and aunt began to be frightened, thinking that they might be shot immediately.

It hasn't been long since Istanbul that Simeon had to go into exile again to Egyptian and defect to his grandfather, the Italian king.

During this exile period, the Ximei An family had to face not only huge psychological pressure, but also extremely embarrassing life.

At that time, the total property of their family was only $200. Compared with Puyi's abdication treatment back then, this is not a little worse.

However, Simeon was not defeated by these setbacks. This exile life not only did not make him depressed, but instead shaped his character.

End Career

Simeon has always had a famous saying, he said that for a king, exile is the best education.

Although the exile life was very hard, and although the huge gap from the king to the commoner caused great pain, Nimi'an developed a happy and destiny character in such a life, and he never gave up working hard to live.

Shortly after he was exiled in Egypt, Simeon's grandfather, the Italian king died in Egypt. After that, the Egyptian authorities began to issue orders to expel customers from the Simeon family in a tactful manner.

Therefore, the family had to embark on the road of exile again. But the world is so big, where should we go?

It was not until July 1951 that the Spanish Franco government agreed to provide political refuge for the Simeon family, so they had a place to stay. From then on, their family was an ordinary civilian on the streets of Spain.

Fortunately, Ximei'an has always maintained an optimistic attitude. Life in Spain has just become more stable, and Simeon began to expand his social skills.

He did not forget to learn. In addition to his native language Bulgarian , he was also familiar with and mastered seven languages, including English, German , French, Spanish .

He has a wide range of interests, including aviation, reading, water skiing, , etc. He is very good at it, and he also has a strong interest in history.

Ximeang has been paying attention to national affairs and his full understanding and judgment of the international situation has also laid the foundation for him to re-enter the political arena in the future.

In 1958, Ximei's pseudonym Lairsky entered the Wallifeg Military Academy in Pennsylvania, USA.

During his study, Simei's performance was outstanding. He completed the course for 2 years in just one year, and he also obtained the rank of lieutenant when he graduated.

After graduating from the Valifug Military Academy, Simeon went to France to study again. In France, he also met his lifelong partner, Margaret.

Margaret is also a descendant of Spanish nobles, but the Spanish royal family at that time had also declined. Simeon and Margaret have always lived a very simple civilian life.

Later, Ximei Ang joined the business world. The organizational skills, extensive knowledge level and rich connections cultivated since childhood have helped Ximei'an achieve great success in the business world.

He first served as president of a Spanish subsidiary of an electronics group in France for 13 years. Later, he set up a business consulting company by himself, establishing close ties with many business giants in the world.

This period of business has not only allowed Ximeiang to accumulate a large amount of assets, but more importantly, he raised funds for his political activities.

Throughout Europe, he has established a huge network of interpersonal relationships.

Ximeang, the last monarch of that year, relied on himself to start from scratch, and earned a huge family business with bare hands.

In the early 1990s, Simi Ang made certain achievements in the business world. With a certain amount of capital and ability, he remembered a wish that he had always been to restore the imperial system.

However, after many inquiries, Simeon learned that the Bulgarian people are now accustomed to the republic and no one responded to his slogan of restoration.

Ximeiang had to give up, but unexpectedly, an opportunity a few years later once again made Ximeiang's inner desire to enter politics burn.

Prime Minister returns

In 1996, Ximei'an returned to Bulgaria again. Unexpectedly, what we welcomed him this time was the extremely enthusiastic of the Bulgarian people. The Bulgarian government even returned part of the confiscated royal property to Ximei'an.

Seeing that he still has influence in the hearts of the people, Ximei An decided to officially join Bulgarian politics. But unexpectedly, at the beginning, Simei An encountered obstacles.

Ximeon's first thought was to run for the presidency, because he was a former king after all, and the presidency without real power was more suitable for him.

However, he is considered not qualified to run for president because he lived in Bulgaria for too short a time to meet the requirements of the law.

This small setback did not defeat Xi Mei'an. If the presidential election fails, he decided to run for Prime Minister. In April 2001, Nishimi'an II directly created a political party, named "National Movement of Nishimi'an II".

On May 2, the party was registered and was a great success in the second month's national parliamentary election.

After more than fifty years left Bulgaria, the former king once again became the leader of the country. The fairy tales that used to be made true.

In fact, Ximei'an was able to win the election, which is also the right time, place and people. Since the political situation in Bulgaria changed in 1989, Bulgaria's left-wing socialist party and the right-wing democratic power coalition have not allowed the country to escape economic difficulties.

The people's living standards at this time have dropped significantly, and 70% of residents live below the poverty line. The continued economic crisis has made the people lose confidence in the ruling two parties.

, Ximei'an is not a member of any party, and he lives in , Western Europe all year round, understanding Western thoughts and management.

Ximeang also said during his election campaign that we should eliminate poverty and improve people's lives. His campaign program lit a light for the people who have lost confidence in life, and Nishimi Ang has also become the last light and only expectation in the hearts of the people.

After becoming Prime Minister, Ximei Ang worked very hard and often worked 16 hours a day. For official business, he may take seventy or eighty flights a year. He also practiced himself and opposed extravagance. He clearly had a wealth of wealth but lived a very simple life.

Simion has also taken a series of measures to improve the lives of Bulgarian people and improve Bulgaria's status in Europe.

Externally, he insisted on joining EU and NATO ; internally, he constantly attracted foreign investment, encouraged exports, implemented tax reforms, restricted budget expenditures, increased jobs and social subsidies.

In fact, Simeon's ruling measures have had a certain effect on improving the economic environment of Bulgaria, but this effect has not been immediately effective.

So, the greater the expectations of the people at that time, the greater the disappointment of the people in later life. With the unemployment rate still high and rural areas are still poor, more and more people are beginning to question Simei'an.

Some people think he lacks political experience, some people think he lacks understanding of Bulgaria, and some people think that he retained the title of king to restore the monarchy. In short, Simeon's support rate is getting lower and lower.

In 2005, Ximei Ang lost the throne of prime minister and once again returned to the life of a civilian.

Looking at Ximei's life, there are supreme glory and troughs. But he was able to not be arrogant and depressed in glory, compared with other last emperors, Nimi'an's life was already happy and legendary.

Today, Simeon has long withdrawn from politics, but even during his tenure as prime minister, Simeon II has never announced his abdication. He is now the last living "tsar" on earth.
