On the way, the officials accepted that they would be promoted as long as they served Cixi well on the way to escape. Because Cixi is used to living a luxurious life, she can only eat a simple meal on the way to escape, and sometimes a meal of rice porridge and eggs will be delicious. Later, the county magistrate who provided this delicious food was also promoted, so some officials seized Cixi's preference and would please Cixi. Many officials along the way will try their best to serve Cixi in order to keep their official positions, so Cixi's life is still ok, and these officials are just trying to keep their official positions.

As the saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed". When Cixi is in trouble, someone will lend a helping hand, so Cixi will definitely repay her. What impressed us most was Zhou Ying, the richest woman. On the way to take refuge in Cixi when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, she sent a lot of silver to Cixi. Later, after signing the Treaty of Shame and Ugliness, Zhou Ying donated100000 silver dollars to help the country tide over the disaster. Therefore, Cixi was very grateful, and it was a great honor to accept her as her adopted daughter and seal her as a patent wife. This is enough to show how brave people who lend a helping hand in difficult times are, and it can also be seen that Cixi knows how to be grateful.

In addition, the most touching thing is Xiao Zhangde, the little eunuch around Cixi. When Cixi escaped, he followed. On rainy days, Cixi herself felt very delicate and didn't want to take the dirt road. At this time, Xiao Dezhang took the initiative to say "I will carry you". At this time, Cixi was very moved and remembered Xiao Dezhang. After returning to the palace, she was promoted to the position of Xiao Dezhang. Therefore, many people think that as long as she helps Cixi, she can be promoted.

Cixi, as the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, destroyed the country. She catered to foreign invaders blindly, which led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty. However, times are moving forward and China will become stronger and stronger.
