What kind of captive life did the last emperor Puyi lead in the Soviet Union?

1945 August19, a small plane mysteriously landed at Shenyang airport, and the Soviet red army occupying Shenyang airport quickly surrounded the plane. After the hatch was opened, a well-dressed and flustered man stepped down from the plane. He was the last emperor Puyi.

On August 8, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. This made Puyi, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, feel that the end was coming. Ten days later, under the arrangement of the Japanese, he left the "empress" Wanrong, "rich man" Li and other family members and flew to Shenyang by small plane, ready to transfer to a big plane to escape to Japan. However, Puyi never imagined that the Soviet army occupied Shenyang Airport almost at the same time, and when he and his entourage walked out of the cabin, they became Soviet prisoners.

The next day, under the escort of the Soviet Union, nine people, including Puyi, lived in the former Soviet Union and were held in Chitamolo Koffka Detention Center, Bulihonghezi Detention Center and 45th Special Prisoner of War Detention Center. He lived as a special prisoner for five years.

None of the shelters in the Soviet Union held prisoners of the "Emperor", so the Soviet side gave special treatment to Puyi, who had a special status. Kaufmamoro Shelter held a small banquet specially for him, explained the policy to him and asked what their requirements were. The subsequent treatment of life surprised Pu Yi and others. Su Fang treats them like convalescents: in terms of food, they have four meals a day, including bread and various snacks, coffee and tea. Breakfast; At least two dishes and one soup for lunch; There is another meal at three or four in the afternoon, called "afternoon tea"; I often eat western food for dinner, which is rich in content, including ox tongue, ox tail, fruit wine, snacks and so on.

Puyi and others did not know that the Soviet economy was still quite difficult at that time, and the people's living standards were very low. This shop sells a kind of bread called "Heileba", which is mixed with straw, chaff and other things. In daily life, the shelter prepared a single room for Puyi, and also specially installed cable radio, music, Russian news and other programs. In leisure time, Puyi and others don't need to work, so they can walk and chat.

At first, the Soviet side still had certain restrictions on their scope of activities, and then the restrictions gradually decreased. Puyi can walk mountains, rivers and forests, and his range of activities is larger than when he was the "Emperor of Manchukuo". What's more, Su Fang moved a piano to his residence after knowing that Puyi could play the piano. All this surprised Puyi and made him get carried away.

Puyi has always held the "emperor" attitude towards his followers and accepted their greetings every day. He chanted scriptures, meditated and practiced all day, and even made his followers keep watch and let him play various tricks, such as divination and divination of his unknown fate. His practice has never been interfered by the Soviet Union.

Back to the detention center, Puyi was in a dilemma: if you give away all the treasures, you really can't bear it; If you don't give it, your wish to stay in the Soviet Union will certainly not come true. Finally, after consulting with others, we decided to give away some items with low value and large volume, such as golden bowls and golden jars, and hide the rest. Where is the right place to hide it? They happened to get a box with a movie projector. Li Guoxiong, a servant of Puyi, found tools and wire, made a sandwich in the box and put 468 treasures in it. There are still some treasures that I was reluctant to give, so I gave them to others, such as Puyi's nephew Yu, who got a gem gold bracelet, a diamond cuff link and a bag of pearls. Li Guoxiong got a diamond, an aquamarine hat flower and an emerald hat flower; Everyone else gets three or four dollars each.

Later, with the change of the prison, Puyi was afraid that these treasures would be discovered by the Soviet side, accused of deceiving the Soviet government, and decided to destroy some of them. He put some diamonds and bracelets into the river and some pearls into the stove.

1August, 950, Puyi returned to China with some preserved treasures and handed them over to the people's government. However, Puyi's ingratiation did not receive the final asylum, and the Soviet Union never promised him to stay in the Soviet Union. So in the whole life of being captured, Puyi has been very nervous. Whenever he sees a stranger who speaks Chinese, he will mistake it for someone sent by the * * * production party or the Kuomintang to receive them. He is always scared out in a cold sweat.

The international court testified for 8 days. 1946 at the turn of spring and summer, the Soviet internal affairs bureau began to summon a series of ministers of the puppet Manchukuo state below Puyi, asking how the Japanese Kwantung Army controlled the puppet Manchukuo government and how Puyi became the "emperor" from Tianjin to Northeast China. Puyi didn't know why Su Fang did it at first. It was not until August 1946 that the Soviet side informed him to testify in the Far East International Military Tribunal that he understood the reason: it was to prepare for testifying in court.

Under the escort of Soviet military, Puyi took a seaplane from Vladivostok to Japan. After I arrived in Japan, I met Judge Kramer of the United States and Judge Meru of China in the Far East International Military Tribunal. Puyi stated in court the plan and implementation process of Japanese imperialism's enslavement of Manchuria. He described in detail how Kashii Kohei, the Japanese commander in Tianjin, forced him to go to Lushun after the September 18th Incident, and how Saburo Bango, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, forced him to go from Lushun to Changchun as the "Emperor of Manchukuo", and how he was watched by Japanese imperialists without any rights or even personal freedom.

When Puyi accused the Japanese of killing his wife Tan Yuling, her emotions began to get out of control and she slapped the people on the witness stand with her hands. When talking about the emperor's artifact sword and mirror presented by Emperor Hirohito, Puyi could not restrain his excitement again: "When I brought these things home, my family cried. This is a shame for my generation. " The defense lawyers of Japanese war criminals believe that this is an attack on the ancestors of the Japanese emperor. Puyi replied: "I didn't force them to treat my ancestors as ancestors!" " This sentence caused a burst of laughter.

Since August 16, Puyi has appeared in court for eight consecutive days, setting a record for the longest single testimony of the Far East International Military Tribunal. After testifying, he returned to the shelter and continued his special prisoner life. 1950 On July 30th, the Soviet Union gave Puyi a notice to return to China.

Even so, Puyi expressed his wish to stay in the Soviet Union to Bell Matof, the translator of the 45th Special Prisoner of War Shelter, but Bell Matof told him, "If you were still Chiang Kai-shek's China, you might not be sent back by the Soviet Union, but now that you are in China and Mao Zedong, you may not be able to stay in the Soviet Union." 1July 3, 9501day, Puyi boarded the train home.
