Cixi , whose zodiac sign is sheep, whose surname is Yehenala and whose nickname is Lan'er. She entered the palace through draft at the age of 17 and was named Lan Guiren by Emperor Xianfeng.

was named Yi concubine the next year. After giving birth to Xianfeng 's only son Zai Chun, she was further named Yi concubine. The following year she was named Yi noble concubine , and her status in the harem was second only to the queen.

In 1861, Xianfeng fled to Rehe, to avoid the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and died in Rehe.

Xianfeng's six-year-old son Zaichun ascended the throne and became Emperor Tongzhi.

Before Xianfeng's death, Cixi and Empress Ci'an were each given an imperial seal.

Eight auxiliary ministers were also established, commonly known as the "eight ministers of fixed destiny", to assist the young emperor in handling government affairs.

However, the eight auxiliary ministers monopolized the government affairs and bullied Cixi's orphans and widowed mother, which made the empress dowagers of the two palaces very angry.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi and Ci'an, together with her brother-in-law Prince Gong, launched a new unitary coup, got rid of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and regained the imperial power.

The Yellow Emperor was young, Empress Dowager Ci'an was soft and indecisive, and Cixi basically had the final say in the court.

Establishing Westernization , suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, signing unequal treaties that humiliated the country, misappropriating military funds to celebrate her 60th birthday, etc., are all things Cixi did.

This year, Cixi’s mother turned 70. Cixi prepared generous gifts in advance to celebrate her mother.

But it happened that on this day, foreign missions were coming to visit. As the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty, how could Cixi be absent? She couldn't go to her mother's birthday.

So Cixi wrote a poem:

The love between parents is the truest in the world,

The tears and blood melt into the bodies of their children.

After all the hard work, he finally gave birth to a son,

pity the hearts of parents in the world!

Frame it and send it to your mother's home together with the gift.

Cixi composed this poem in her lifetime, and the last line, "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world," has been passed down to this day.
