    The story of Puyi is fascinating, everyone should read about it.

        The Wikipedia article on Puyi is very complete, good for a start, you can also read his own book "From Emperor to Citizen" which details his life written by "himself" (Ghost writer actually, but yeah). Of course, one must understand that he might be trying to clean up his reputation in his book, but nevertheless it is a good read, especially when he details the fall of Manchukuo when the Soviets invaded in August 1945, how literally everyone panicked and deserted.

      Is The Last Emperor a good movie? I'm assuming it isn't that bad since China let them film there (although it was Deng era).

          I've read about Puyi on Wikipedia and saw the movie is on HBO Max. Might give it a watch after my midterms are over.
