During the tumultuous period of the early Chinese Republic, Pu Yi was ousted and exiled. He was later returned to China as a puppet emperor Manchukuo under the Japanese rule. Once married to The Empress Wan Rong, Pu Yi later married a civilian Li Shuxian and lived his life in China as an ordinary civilian under Mao Zedong’s rule until his death in 1967.
