Paternal side
Puyi's great-grandfather was the Daoguang Emperor(道光帝 the seventh emperor r.1820–1850), who was succeeded by his fourth son, who became Xianfeng Emperor (咸豊帝 the eighth Emperor r.1850–1861). Puyi's paternal grandfather was the 1st Prince Chun (初代醇親王 1840–1891) who was himself a son of the Daoguang Emperor and a younger half-brother of Xianfeng Emperor, but not the next in line after Xianfeng (the 1st Prince Chun had older half-brothers that were closer in age to Xianfeng). Xianfeng was succee...
Maternal Side
Puyi's mother, the 2nd Princess Chun (1884-1921), given name Youlan (幼蘭), was the 2nd Prince Chun's wife. She was the daughter of the Manchu general Ronglu (榮祿, 1836–1903) from the Guwalgiya clan. Ronglu was one of the leaders of the conservative faction at the court, and a staunch supporter of Empress Dowager Cixi; Cixi rewarded his support by marrying his daughter, Puyi's mother, into the Imperial family.
Emperor of China
Chosen by Dowager Empress Cixi (西太后, the West Dowager Empress), while on her deathbed, Puyi ascended the throne at age 2 years 10 months in December, 1908, following the death of his uncle, the Guangxu ( Kuang-hsü ) emperor, on November 14, 1908. Puyi's introduction to emperorship began when palace officials arrived at his family home to take him. Puyi screamed and resisted as the officials ordered the eunuchs to pick him up. His wet-nurse, Wen-Chao Wang, was the only one who could console hi...
Brief Restoration
In 1917, the warlord general Zhang Xun (張勛) restored Puyi to his throne for the 12 days from July 1 to July 12. The male residents of Beijing hastily bought false queues (long plaits or "pigtails") to avoid punishment for cutting off their queues in 1912. During those 12 days, one small bomb was dropped over the Forbidden City by a republican plane, causing minor damage. This is considered the first aerial bombardment ever in Eastern Asia. The restoration failed due to extensive opposition ac...
Ruler of Manchukuo
On March 1, 1932, Puyi was installed by the Japanese as the ruler of Manchukuo, considered by most historians as a puppet state of Imperial Japan, under the reign title Datong (大同). In 1934, he was officially crowned the emperor of Manchukuo under the reign title Kangde (康德). He was constantly at odds with the Japanese in private, though gushingly submissive in public. He resented being "Head of State" and then "Emperor of Manchukuo" rather than being fully restored as Qing Emperor. As part o...
In accordance to the laws of the People's Republic of China at the time, Puyi's body was cremated, unlike the bodies of his ancestors, which were buried. Puyi's ashes were first placed at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, alongside those of other party and state dignitaries. Ironically, before the establishment of the People's Republic of China...

Puren (who later took the name Jin Youzhi), a younger half-brother, was born after the imperial family had lost power. Two wives 1. Gobulo Wan Rong, the Empress(婉容) (1906–1946). ...
