From Emperor to Citien is the
autobiography of Pu Yi, the man who
was the last emperor of China. A
unique memoir of the first half of the
20th century as seen through the eyes
of one born to be an absolute
monarch, the book begins with the
author's vivid account of the last,
decadent days of the Ching Dynasty,
and closes with an introspective
self-portrait of the last Ching emperor
transformed into a retiring scholar
and citizen of the People's Republic
of China.
In detailing the events of the fifty
years between his ascension to the
throne and the final period of his life
as a quiet-living resident of Beijing,
Pu Yi reveals himself to be first and
foremost a survivor, caught up in the
torrent of global power struggles and
world conflict that played itself out
on the Asian continent through many
decades of violence and upheaval.
This firsthand description of the
dramatic events of Pu Yi's life was the
basis for the intemationally acclaimed
1987 Bemardo Bertolucci film The
Last Emperor which was named Best
Picture of the Year by the American
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences. From Emperor to Citizen
readily lends itself to cinematic
adaptation as a personal narrative of
continuously significant and revea-
ling episodes.
Becoming emperor and then
forced to abdicate with the
establishment of the Republic of
China in 1911, all before he is seven
years old, Pu Yi continues to live in
the Forbidden City for another
decade, still treated as the Son of
Heaven by the moribund Ching court,
but in reality a virtual prisoner, with
little genuine human contact apart
from his beloved nurse Mrs. Wang,
his teacher Chen Pao-shen and his
English tutor Reginald Johnston.
When at the age of nineteen Pu Yi
is finally forced to vacate his isolated
existence within the Forbidden City,
he begins his long odyssey as the
dependent of the occupying imperial
Japanese regime, first in Tientsin, and
eventually installed as "emperor" of
the Japanese puppet state styled
Manchukuo in China's northeast
provinces. With the defeat of Japan
and the end of the Second World War,
Pu Yi faces a very uncertain future as
he is shunted off to Russia for five
years before retuming to a new China
transformed by revolution, where he
is confined in the Fushun War
Criminal Prison. Here he undergoes
several years of rehabilitation,
"learning how to become a human
being," as he calls it, before receiving
an official pardon and being allowed
to finally live as an ordinary citizen of
Beijing.
This autobiography is the culmi-
nation of a unique and remarkable
life, told simply, directly and frankly
by a man whose circumstances and
experiences were like no other.
很好的書。結閤末代皇帝這部電影來看。

評分北京書市淘的,大學時讀過中文版。舊書重讀似春潮,內容倒感覺像是新讀。最讓人春潮湧動的是在撫順,在哈爾濱監獄改造那段。飛龍不在天,也不再允許有飛龍的時候,方見人情,世味。但似乎又是昨日種種,都成今我的輪迴。不過終於還是remoulding過來瞭,thanks to magnanimousness。
一本奇书,一位奇人。 爱新觉罗溥仪,中国最后一个皇帝,关于他的故事和影视文学作品多如牛毛,此书作为溥仪唯一的自传,一直占据着最贴切资料的重要地位,但看过此书的人基本都能感受到,成书当时的特殊背景与溥仪的特别身份,注定让这本书成为后世众说纷纭的一个谜案。 首先...
評分 評分随便翻书,清逊宣统帝溥仪的回忆录《我的前半生》。最近国内出版了一个“全本”,厚厚的大开本,比我少年时看过的那本气派许多。虽然是“全本”,但写作于一个特殊年代的基本内容并无改变,依旧是虔诚的忏悔谢罪与对新社会的推崇膜拜,最大的变化或许是增加了不少照片。 其中有...
評分历史上的溥仪大概很难让人喜欢,他在事实上造成了多少恶的后果,然而他又是自己身份的傀儡、命运的囚徒,他对自己的所作所为有一种近乎天真的无知无能,令受害人也很难将他视为魔鬼来憎恨。 为自己的无知而悔恨,是这本自传/忏悔录里比较真诚的部分。而关于他的奢侈、乖戾、残...
