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.

评分狠纳闷为什么全本到作者亡去的四十多年后才迟迟面世。 仔细看完了全书后也没发现有什么政治隐讳，但愿再过若干年能有本“超全本”面世。 顺治皇帝的出家偈中有一句话：“朕本西方一衲僧，奈何生入帝王家。”说得作为九五之尊的无奈之处。以前爱玩一个叫做《皇帝》的游戏，在...

评分一本奇书，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...
评分李文达是这本书的“捉刀人” 应该是基本史实。当然他是基于抚顺战犯管理所时期由傅仪口述，傅杰执笔的《前半生》（自传体悔罪思想报告之类的东西）。但是后面成书，李文达的工作是至关重要的。 因为即使经过初步整理，原《前半生》依然是“很多事情记不清，说不清，只是自己的...

评分不知馋了多少水份：）
评分北京书市淘的，大学时读过中文版。旧书重读似春潮，内容倒感觉像是新读。最让人春潮涌动的是在抚顺，在哈尔滨监狱改造那段。飞龙不在天，也不再允许有飞龙的时候，方见人情，世味。但似乎又是昨日种种，都成今我的轮回。不过终于还是remoulding过来了，thanks to magnanimousness。
评分很好的书。结合末代皇帝这部电影来看。
