This fascinating biography offers a rare glimpse into the life of Puyi, the last Emperor of China’s Qing Dynasty.

Despite its well-worn library binding and lack of dust jacket, this copy retains its historical significance as a firsthand account of a pivotal figure in Chinese history. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the opportunity to delve into Puyi’s extraordinary experiences, which span the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Boxer Rebellion, and the Cultural Revolution. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the cultural and political upheavals that shaped modern China.
