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.

原文摘录 · · · · · · ( 全部 )

我还没有桌子高，就学会了用别人的灾难来取乐，后来，把自己的幸福建立在人们的痛苦之上，这都被我看做是自己的权利。我可以把祖父般年纪的老太监用水唧筒冲得昏死过去，我可以任意叫“敬事房”把太监打得死去活来。因为一句话不顺耳，我可以叫侄子们跪成一圈，互相抽打耳光，我可以叫一个长辈跪下来。一个孩子大的仆人，因为坐了一下我的椅子，我就叫他跪铁链、站木笼。 (查看原文)

醇贤亲王的一生自从光绪入宫以后，我祖父对于他那位姻姊的性格会有更多的了解。在光绪年间，她的脾气更加喜怒无常，光是太监也不知杖毙了多少。有一个陪她下棋的太监，不过说了一句“奴才杀老祖宗的这只马”，她立刻大怒道：“我杀你一家子！”就叫人把这个太监拉了出去活活打死了。慈禧很爱惜自己的头发，给她梳头的某太监有一次在篦子上找到一根头发，不由得心里发慌，想悄悄把这根头发藏起来，不料被慈禧从镜子里看到了，问他干什么，他越是心慌越回答不上来，这也惹恼了慈禧，一声令下，这位太监也是立毙杖下。掌嘴、打屁股，这几乎是家常便饭。伺候过慈禧的太监都说过，除了李莲英之外，谁轮着在老佛爷的跟前站班，谁就提心吊胆。慈禧年岁渐老，有了颜面肌抽搐的毛病，她最不愿意人家看见。有个太监大概是多瞧了一眼，她立刻问：“你瞧什么？”太监没答上来，就挨了几十大板。别的太监知道了，站班时老是不敢抬头，她又火了：“你低头干什么？”这太监无法回答，于是也挨了几十大板。还有一回，慈禧问一个太监天气怎么样，这个乡音未变的太监说：“今儿个天气生冷生冷的。”慈禧对这个“生冷生冷”听着不顺耳，也叫人给这太监一顿板子。除了太监，宫女也常挨打。无论如何，这是一个肯定的事实：我祖父后半世的表现，更加谨小慎微、兢兢业业，把取信讨好慈禧，看做是他的唯一的本分。例如他负责建设海军的时候（那位著名的李鸿章，是会办大臣），为了让太后有个玩的地方，便将海军经费挪出来修建颐和园。颐和园修建工程最紧张的阶段，正值直隶省和京师遭受特大水灾，这时的醇亲王一声不响，御史吴兆泰因为怕激起灾民出事，建议暂时停工，立刻被夺了官，“交部议处”，这都是《东华录》上有案可查的。我祖父真是为西太后尽忠一世，他逝世那年（农历一八九〇年）也正好颐和园完工。但他死后不久，他首创的所谓海军也就惨败于甲午之役。花了几千万两白银所建造的船只，除了颐和园的那个石舫，大概也没剩下...
