Puppet Manchu Palace Museum
Capture the airport in the early morning of August 9, 1945. With the cooperation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Forces, the Soviet Far East Army swept Mudanjiang, Harbin and Xinjing (Changchun), the capital of Manchuria supported by Japan. This made Puyi, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, feel that the end was coming. 10 days later, under the arrangement of the Japanese, he left the "empress" Wanrong, "Fu Gui" Li and other family members and flew to Shenyang by small plane, where he was going to transfer to a big plane to escape to Japan. However, Puyi never imagined that Shenyang Airport had already been occupied by the Soviet Union. When he and his entourage walked out of the cabin, they were surrounded by a group of Soviet troops.
The scene of Puyi's accession to the throne in Manchukuo
The Soviet army asked, "Who is the Manchu emperor?"
Puyi said in horror: "I am Aisin Giorro Puyi, the emperor of Manchukuo."
Soviet: "Who are these people and what do they do?"
Puyi: "This is my brother pujie aixinjueluo. Two brothers-in-law Runqi and Wan Jiaxi. My nephews Yu Shan, Yu Xian and Yu Xie, as well as my personal bodyguard Li Guoxiong and the physician Huang Zizheng. "
The Soviet army pointed to the Japanese at the scene and asked, "What do they do?"
Yoshioka Yasunari, a senior officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army, said: "I am a hanger in the Japanese palace, and the other four are Japanese gendarmes." Then, Yoshioka Yasushi asked in Russian, "Can you take Pu Yi and his party to Japan?"
Yoshioka's request was immediately rejected by the Soviet Union.
The next day, under the escort of the Soviet Union, nine people, including Puyi, went to the Soviet Union and began his special captive life for five years.
The well-paid captive life took Puyi and others to Chita City in the post-Baikal region of the Far East of the Soviet Union, and was soon taken to the No.45 special detention center of the Khabarovsk Frontier Internal Affairs Bureau of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs. After Puyi arrived at Khabarovsk Detention Center, he was arranged to live on the first floor, and the Japanese captured by the Soviet Union were arranged to live on the second floor.
The Soviet Union gave special treatment to Puyi, who had a special position. When he was detained in Chita City Detention Center, he was equipped with 100 snipers as his guards. Therefore, he was treated well after he came to Khabarovsk detention center.
Puyi's Life in Manchukuo
Khabarovsk Detention Center held a small banquet specially for Puyi, explaining relevant policies to him and asking them what they wanted. Puyi usually has four meals a day, and the main and non-staple foods are extremely rich. Bread, snacks, coffee, tea, etc. Provide breakfast; Lunch is usually two dishes and one soup; There is afternoon tea at three or four; Dinner is mainly western food, including ox tongue and oxtail, snacks and fruit wine. This is in the Soviet Union. At that time, in a difficult economic period, residents could only eat bran and brown bread, so Puyi's diet was a superior life.
Puyi lives in a single room, and there is a radio in the room, that is, she can listen to music and receive Russian news. He can walk and chat with people in nearby mountains, rivers and trees at will, and even the Soviet side brought him a piano for his recreation.
Puppet emperor's palace
It's just that Puyi got up very late and didn't have breakfast. She insisted on chanting and worshipping Buddha. He was in his hut, kneeling by the bed, shaking the eight shiny Japanese coins, and Yushan and others stood guard for him in the outhouse in case the Soviet guards suddenly broke in.
Later, Puyi was sent to Boli Hongheli Detention Center. Although the conditions here are not as good as those in Khabarovsk detention center, life is quite comfortable. Puyi began to learn some books on Marxism-Leninism and the history of the Soviet Union, but Puyi never took part in labor.
Puyi hopes to stay in the Soviet Union forever. It was under such generous living conditions that he was worried that the Soviet Union would hand him over to the China government, because he knew that once he returned to China, the people of China would definitely end his crimes during the period of the puppet Manchukuo. Therefore, he believes: "Only by staying in the Soviet Union can we save our lives."
So,1February 945, Puyi wrote a letter to Stalin: "To my great satisfaction, your government has given me extensive support in saving my life, making it possible for me to live peacefully in the Soviet Union ... I took the liberty of asking your government to allow me to live in the Soviet Union for a long time, so that I can enrich my scientific knowledge well. I sincerely hope to study socialism and other sciences in the Soviet Union ... "
Puyi believed that Stalin would allow him to stay in the Soviet Union, so that he would not go to jail in China. He even naively ingratiated himself with Stalin and asked to join the League. However, the Soviet Union rejected his request, and Puyi did not understand it. He asked the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Is there an emperor in the * * * production party?" The representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs replied: "No", and Puyi said: "I can be the first emperor to join the * * * production party."
In order to stay in the Soviet Union for a long time, Puyi began to woo the Soviet guards around him. When Puyi fled from Changchun, he carried many priceless treasures with him, and he often used them to please the Soviet military. However, Puyi finally did not get a positive reply from the Soviet Union. Therefore, as a prisoner, Puyi was very nervous all his life. Whenever he meets people who speak Chinese, he thinks that China has sent them back to China.
Puyi in the Far East International Tribunal
This day has finally arrived!
On August 1950, 1, Puyi and 263 other "war criminals" of the puppet Manchukuo were handed over from the Soviet government to the China government in Suifenhe, and sent to Fushun War Criminals Management Office for ideological re-education and re-education through labor for about ten years.
The first half of Puyi's life is over, and the last emperor of Qing Dynasty is about to usher in his new life!
