After marriage, the last emperor and I visited the Forbidden City twice. The first time was on May 2, 1963. It was a fine day. When we entered the Xuanwu Gate, he said to me, "It was this gate which I was banished out of the palace..." His tone was calm, with no feeling of sad at all, but a peaceful attitude.

(p1)

After entering the gate of the Forbidden City, turning around the imperial garden, not far to the East, we arrived at Yuqing palace. Puyi pointed to the locked door and told me the story of his studying here.

After a while, we walked past and caught up with a group of tourists around a person who was introducing to the group: "this was the place where the last king was studying...".

Puyi smiled at me and pulled me to listen attentively in the crowd.

At this time, I was afraid that tourists would recognize him. The man in the crowd was the last emperor. Puyi is still the same. He smiles at me all the time.

"When I was a child, I said that I was reading here. In fact, I just didn't like reading. If you don't want to read it, you won't read it. The teacher also has to listen to me. If he is suspended, he will be suspended. Because I am the emperor! "

(p2,p3)

"How do you read?" I asked him curiously. []

"It's interesting to talk about this." Puyi said to me. "At first, it was read by the teacher. Later, the eunuch read it to me once in the morning.

"The teacher doesn't care?"

Puyi then said, "where dare the teacher take care of me? Sometimes, in class, the teacher asked us to recite the text. After a long time, he fell asleep. I twisted the paper into a thin stick and stabbed the teacher in the nose. After that, I slipped back to my seat. Seeing the teacher open his eyes and sneeze loudly, several of our students have fun together... "

When it comes to happiness, Puyi suddenly appears young, smiling like a child.

"Let's go to the imperial garden. There are benches to sit down and have a rest." So, Puyi and I sat on the bench in the garden and watched the crowd quietly. Pointing to the open ground, Puyi mentioned his childhood.

"I entered the palace at the age of 3 and left it at the age of 19." Speaking of this, Puyi sighed, as if he had returned to the past. "I can play in such a big place in the palace. However, if you want to get out of the palace, you can't go anywhere. A child is stuck in a big wall all day long. He always wants to go out to have a look, but he can't go out. I'm upset. You can't go anywhere if you want. How can you not be bored... "

(p4,p5)

When Puyi mentioned his childhood, he could not help resenting the Empress Dowager. She was the one who put him in the palace as emperor and suffered so many crimes. Puyi tells the story of the period before and after he left the palace in 1924.

Having said this, Puyi seemed to come back to reality from the past, took a long breath, and then enjoyed himself inexplicably.
