Speaking of the feudal monarchy of more than two thousand years in China, the term "eunuch" cannot be avoided anyway. From Zhao Gao, who "referred to the deer as a horse" 200 years ago, to the "nine thousand years old" Wei Zhongxian , they were all famous "eunuchs" in ancient Chinese history.
Of course, these people are all eunuchs in the heyday of the feudal monarchy era. The eunuchs at the end of the feudal monarchy era are not as "lucky" as they are .
In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 broke out in Wuchang , and the last feudal monarchy in Chinese civilization was destroyed with the sound of gunshots. For the common people in the world, the downfall of the feudal dynasty is a great thing, but for those eunuchs who "people are not like people and ghosts are not like ghosts", it is tantamount to "the disaster of extinction."
Sun Yaoting is one of these eunuchs who have been hit by the "disaster of extinction", he has just spent some money to climb to a slightly easier position, the Qing Dynasty Turns out to be annihilated. As the youngest eunuch in the palace at that time, Sun Yaoting didn't even have the ability to leave the palace, so he could only continue to hide in the palace as a "servant."
Even if the 2,000-year-old feudal despotism is destroyed, it will inevitably become a dead but not stiff ghost on the land of China. And when Xuantong Emperor Puyi announced his abdication, Sun Yaoting had not yet become an eunuch, because he was only ten years old this year .
But even though Puyi has abdicated, he has not been "expulted" out of the palace.Instead, he continued to live in the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace. People at that time didn't know that as long as the "emperor" was still living in the palace, then this feudal era would not be over. Later, because of some things, Sun Yaoting's family decided to turn him into an eunuch before sending him to the palace.
Unexpectedly, the restored Yuan Shikai was overthrown, and Puyi, who lived in the palace, was forced to leave the Forbidden City. Since becoming an eunuch in 1916, Sun Yaoting has only been an eunuch for only eight years . By 1924, the death of feudalism had become a foregone conclusion, and Sun Yaoting's wandering life had also begun.
Right after leaving the palace, Sun Yaoting first returned to his hometown in Tianjin and moved into the home of his brothers . Even though Sun Yaoting was only in his twenties at that time, Sun Yaoting, who was sent to the palace since he was a child, didn't know how to do any farm work at all. After staying in a few brothers’ houses for a while, Sun Yaoting, who felt that he could not "eat the mountains and the sky", returned to Beijing and found more than 40 young eunuchs who had left the palace with him. Acres of land, relying on rent collection to live .
We all know what the houses of that period looked like. Don't talk about concrete and stone bricks. Even iron nails don't know how many nails there can be. With the passage of time, the security of the house is getting lower and lower, and Sun Yaoting, who finally had a little birthday, lost her shelter on a rainy night.
From an eunuch to a beggar who can only pick up cinders all day long What kind of feeling is it? Presumably Sun Yaoting should be the most clear about the changes. In the years when he was a "landlord", Sun Yaoting still relied on his own level of education.I wanted to find an enlightenment for young children, but I didn’t expect the families who were looking for enlightenment teachers when they heard that Sun Yaoting was an eunuch, they immediately shook their heads and fled .
When things have developed to this situation, Sun Yaoting can no longer struggle, and Sun Yaoting also completely cut off his income after the house collapsed and damaged, so he can only be left in the alleys between the high-walled houses in Beijing all day long. Here, relying on picking up cinders in exchange for some living supplies. This kind of life lasted until the end of the War of Resistance against Japan and the Liberation War of , After New China took charge of the common people, Sun Yaoting broke away from the miserable life .
In 1950, the staff of New China discovered Sun Yaoting, who had witnessed the "living history" of the entire turbulent era, and included him in a list of "subsidies". Sun Yaoting at this time can receive about 16 yuan in subsidies every month . Later, after determining that Sun Yaoting had a certain level of education, the state arranged for Sun Yaoting a job that could earn 35 yuan a month.
Facing the care of the country, Sun Yaoting, who is more than 40 years old, burst into tears with gratitude. In the later years of his life, Sun Yaoting worked hard at his post until 1996 At the age of ninety-four, Sun Yaoting passed away at Guanghua Temple in Beijing.
Although Sun Yaoting's experience is quite tortuous, his early life experience shows us the backward and feudal part of the feudal dynasty. But fortunately, we are living in a brand-new country, and those feudal, backward, and chilling ugly and bad habits have long been far away from us.
From palace people to beggars, Sun Yaoting's life changed only after the founding of New China
After living in the palace for 8 years, Sun Yaoting began to wander, and he was only blessed after the founding of New China
