The Broken Dragon

The Broken Dragon: The Forgotten Story of China's Last Emperor The rise and fall of an emperor. The collapse of an empire. The forgotten story of the last ruler of China. Born into opulence and crowned at the age of three, Puyi was destined to rule over one of the most powerful empires in history. But as revolution swept across China, he became a prisoner of fate-forced into exile, manipulated by foreign powers, and ultimately reduced to an ordinary citizen in a country that had erased his past. From the golden halls of the Forbidden City to the cold cells of a Soviet prison, from the illusion of power in Manchukuo to the streets of Communist Beijing, The Broken Dragon unravels the extraordinary life of a ruler who was never truly allowed to rule.
