Episode description

In 1908, a two-year-old boy named Puyi was installed as the 11th Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in China. His life would prove to be radically different from that of any other Chinese emperor who came before him. He would see the end of Imperial China, become a puppet ruler for those who wished legitimacy, wind up in prison, and finally live out his final days as a commoner. His personal story can be seen as a microcosm of the history of China during the 20th century. Learn more about Puyi, the last Emperor of China, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
