The last queen Wanrong , whose name is Guo Buluo.Wanrong, whose courtesy name is Muhong, was born in 1906.
She looks beautiful and has a beautiful appearance. When she was young, her father hired a foreign teacher for her. In her mansion, No. 35-37, Moer Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, she studied Four Books and Five Classics and foreign culture and etiquette until she turned 16 years old. As the queen of Puyi , she left her own courtyard.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty had ended its dynasty 12 years ago, and the residence of Wanrong and Puyi was also limited to the three palaces of the former royal courtyard. But even for this small third palace of , she and her husband Puyi lived for less than two years, and were driven out of Beijing City by General Feng Yuxiang. From then on, she and Puyi began a displaced exile career, and finally arrived in Changchun, and then they moved into the so-called palace again.
But this period of time in Changchun Palace became the last period of Wanrong's tragic fate.
Puyi, based on Wanrong's failure to take good care of Wenxiu , caused Wenxiu to eventually divorce him, causing Qing to lose all face, so he ignored Wanrong from then on. In addition, the Changchun Palace was controlled by the Japanese, Wanrong was not allowed to go out for free even if she was the queen. So under loneliness and long-term mental depression, Wanrong had an extramarital affair with the guards around her and gave birth to a child. This made Puyi very angry and threw the child he gave birth to into the boiler and executed him. This move completely destroyed Wanrong's spirit, and she became sometimes awake and sometimes crazy, becoming an intermittent mental patient.
Wanrong's state made Puyi even more angry, so he threw him into the cold palace and let him die.
According to the old palace maid who later took care of her, Wanrong's residence at that time was smelly and ugly, like a pig's nest.
Wanrong ended her career as a queen in such a state of survival. With the changes in social forms, the ultimate place of her life is Changchun Prison.
1946, the last empress Wanrong died in Changchun Prison at the age of 40. Wanrong's place after her death has become a mystery. It is said that after her death, she was swept by a broken kang and threw it on the back mountain of the prison. Another saying is that he was buried in Nanshan, Yanji City, but no bones have been found yet. It is really embarrassing that a generation of queen ends like this!
In 1922, when Wanrong left home and entered the so-called Qing Dynasty palace, it was a full hundred years ago. A hundred years have passed quickly, and Nanluoguxiang has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The former Chengen Duke's Mansion has now become a large slum for many households to live together.
Push open the narrow and cramped small backyard door, and in the vibrant summer sun, what appears before you is a dilapidated scene: the chaotic wires, old-colored plastic steel doors and windows, low privately built huts full of moss, small aisles in the houses that almost only allow one person to pass through, etc., all give people a sense of desolation and chaos, which is very similar to Wanrong's last time in her life.
came out of the yard, walked to the front door, and saw the horse-mounted stone in front of the door, still standing quietly under a century-old tree. Perhaps, only they can truly see through the changes in this world, so for a hundred years, they have been silent!
