    Her baby daughter was murdered and thrown into a boiler. She later died in agony in a communist prison due to opium withdrawal and malnutrition in a pool of her own urine. Her husband wrote: ''The experiences of Wanrong, who had been neglected for a long time, might be incomprehensible to a modern younger of New China.'' Her body was never found.

    Wanrong's beauty was unmatched. It's too bad she is mostly forgotten about in chinese history. Other than her suffering from drugs/ abuse by Puyi.

      ​@@lucastaylor2321 She died in prison, but not because of opium thing. The communists came in power and her husband (himself in danger) abandoned her in the hands of communist militias. She had health problems and she wasn't taken care of in prison, on the contrary, she was bullied and left in misery.

    when I uncover little by little of an empire's past, I realize how same in character & behavior: emotional/grief/madness/jealous rage/sadness/regrets/blame/avoidance/murderous etc... then happiness/joy/giving/support/marriage/respect/peace/togetherness/laughs/forgiveness/nurture/to dream/missing etc...
    we live similarity lives....past & present & future. History always repeats itself as human beings no matter great or small.
    would've been a pleasant surprise to see him & her live to be a good old age.

    I get that a woman committing adultery is worse than murder to men during that time however, I can definitely understand jealousy and even resentment towards the baby albeit totally innocent but to harm him/ her does not resonate with me in any way at all and the way in which he chose to brutally torture this baby. I’m just astonished that anyone breathing could be so cruel.He definitely tortured her and in the end he got what he wanted by her being so distraught only opium could ease her pain a bit. I can’t imagine the withdrawal from opium as it was probably so pure back in her time , being imprisoned and starved and in pain over her baby’s death.He just didn’t need to do that. He could’ve sold the baby to a American family or any country that was seeking a infant.maybe even a Chinese family that couldn’t have kids but every one wanted boys and idk ? the sex of her child? He could’ve just taken the baby and that would’ve hurt her but he just was evil because that was way beyond jealousy to murder a infant. Her life seemed so interesting yet tragic. I’d love to know more about her life prior to marrying this tyrant.This lil bit of film is a small treasure to have seen.

      Or the best option would have been for Pu Yi to declare the baby as his, and since the baby was not a son, he and his wife could have agreed for her to try again in hopes of a baby boy, to get an heir.

      @@asianamericancasestudies6434 Nope, that's Wanrong. The photo was published in a newspaper in the 1930s, years before Tan Yuling who died at 22 was on the scene. Most probably a reprint of an old photo from Tianjin given the decor.
