Description

After a five-year detention in a prisoner-of-war collection post in Khabarovsk in the USSR, and a subsequent, ten-year, period of reformation in the Fushun War Criminal Prison in China, how did Puyi, China's last feudal emperor, finally become a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference? What were his experiences during the Cultural Revolution? These questions, and other key themes, are addressed in this book.
