Chairman Mao gave Aixinjueluo Zaitao the task of visiting Puyi.

As the younger brother of Emperor Guangxu and the uncle of Emperor Xuantong, Zaitao also enjoyed an important status and role in the Aixinjueluo family.

He is highly respected, approachable, and enthusiastic in serving family members, so he is respected as the "patriarch" of the family.

Puyi never called Zaitao "Seventh Uncle" since he was brought into the palace by Cixi at the age of three.

Especially since Zai Tao later opposed Pu Yi's collusion with the Japanese, his uncle and nephew turned against each other, and their relationship became increasingly estranged.

On July 5, 1955, Zai Tao attended the second session of the First National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China.

During a break in the conference, Zhou Enlai introduced Zai Tao to Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao shook hands with him cordially and said, "Do you still have contact with Puyi?" Zai Tao was a little nervous and quickly replied: "He is a war criminal, how can I have contact with him?" Chairman Mao said with a smile:

"We are destroying the entire exploiting class, not any individual. Your family should care about him, help him, and jointly transform him into a new person. I heard that Puyi studied well, you can go and see him. Soon, Beijing

The Municipal People's Government sent someone to Zaitao's residence and said to him: "Chairman Mao gave you a mission, go and see your nephew.

"Because the Fushun War Criminals Management Office did not notify Puyi and others in advance who would come to visit relatives, he was not mentally prepared. Therefore, when Puyi saw the "Seventh Uncle" who had been separated for many years, he was stunned. In an instant, he suddenly took a big step

He ran over, hugged Zai Tao tightly, blurted out "Seventh Uncle", and burst into tears. During the meeting, Zai Tao introduced to him in detail the progress of the royal family under the care of the Party and the People's Government.

When leaving, Zai Tao repeatedly told Puyi: “You must study hard, reform well, and strive to become a new person as soon as possible.

Puyi nodded "yes" repeatedly. On December 4, 1959, Puyi received amnesty. He saw with his own eyes that the second sister had founded a street nursery, and the second brother-in-law was an engineer in the post and telecommunications department; the third sister and his wife were attending the district CPPCC

Study; the fourth sister works in the archives department of the Forbidden City; the sixth sister and his wife are a couple of painters; the seventh sister and his wife are educators; and the fourth brother is a primary school teacher. Of course, Puyi also went through a process to get along well with his younger brothers and sisters.

At a symposium attended by Premier Zhou, Zai Tao, Pu Yi and their younger brothers and sisters were also invited to attend. Premier Zhou saw Zai Tao sitting with Pu Yi's sisters, while Pu Yi was sitting alone, and he was shocked.

He joked: "Okay, do you still think of him as the emperor?"

"Zai Tao quickly summoned everyone to sit with Pu Yi. During the conversation, Premier Zhou especially praised the seventh sister who had just attended the meeting of heroes in the Great Hall of the People, but at the same time he said in a persuasive way: "Pu Yi has just made progress, you have to help him.

A family should strive for the advanced and help the backward.

There are always advanced and backward ones.

It's the same in your family.

Those who are behind should learn from those who are advanced, and those who are advanced should regard it as their own duty to help those who are behind.

" From the conversation, Qimei realized Premier Zhou's deep affection and expectations. She changed her original prejudice and was determined to help her eldest brother make progress together. Zai Tao happily introduced the third generation of the family to Pu Yi. In Zai Tao's home, Pu Yi

I saw with my own eyes that more than a dozen people in red scarves crowded inside and outside Uncle Qi’s house. Among his nephews, some have become young people and have devoted themselves to the great torrent of building socialism. Among them are workers, cadres, doctors, nurses, and teachers.

, car drivers, and heroic soldiers of the volunteer army who have made meritorious service to the motherland. Some of them have joined the advanced ranks of the Communist Party and the Communist Youth League. Puyi also met some elderly people in the family who have served in the party and the Communist Party of China.

Under the care of the government, they lived a stable and happy life, and some were even invited to serve as representatives of local political power to participate in negotiating major events of the party and the country. Anecdotes about eating dumplings are found in Tang Lusun's work "Eating Dumplings" (collected in "Sour, Sweet, Bitter, and Spicy").

In the collection "Xian", there is an anecdote about Zaitao eating mutton dumplings in Donglaishun: Speaking of being the best at eating dumplings, one has to admire Xunqing Beile Zaitao. One year, it snowed heavily for nine days, and he suddenly became cheerful.

, when he went to Dong Laishun in Dong'an Chang, he wanted to eat mutton and cabbage dumplings. He specified that the mutton should be made from hind legs. When the dumplings were served, he took a bite and immediately became furious. He pointed at the waiter and refused to do as he was told. He saw a thin piece of lamb tenderloin on the stove.

It was so tender that I chopped the tenderloin and stuffed it. Unexpectedly, the gourmet expert's tongue was so good that he actually tasted something wrong. It was really miraculous.
