A Young Woman's Rise to Power:
Amidst the turmoil of the late 19th century, a young Manchu noblewoman named Cixi emerged as a formidable force. As Empress Dowager, she ruled China for nearly half a century, presiding over a period of both decline and modernization. Her intricate political maneuvers and the Boxers Uprising, a violent anti-foreign movement, marked her reign.
Witnessing the Fall of an Empire:
Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, was a child when the Qing Dynasty collapsed in 1912. His vivid memoirs provide an intimate perspective on the empire's twilight years. From his childhood in the Forbidden City to his forced abdication, Pu Yi's account offers a poignant glimpse into the final days of imperial China.
