- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ย. 2021
- Wenxiu was the Last Consort of China. She was the rival of Empress Wanrong but she was never the favorite of Emperor Puyi. Wenxiu lived luxuriously in the Forbidden City but she was dissatisfied with this lonely trapped life. After the royal family was exiled to Tianjin, she sought to change the fate by herself...

She is an incredibly intelligent, happy woman with high self-esteem.
1. She was the only one realising that siding with the Japanese was a wrong move. She advised the Emperor against it, however, he was blinded with greed to take back his power, he pushed her aside and isolated her.
2. Wanrong constantly bullied her. Even when they were living in the Forbidden City, Wanrong wrote many letters to her to mock her. Wenxiu once wrote back to the Empress to correct her spelling.
3. In many photos, she is seen laughing, stretching her arms up. It's rare to see a happy, smiling woman in the Forbidden City - probably WenXiu was the only one.
4. One of her brothers criticised her divorce publicly on a newspaper. She wrote back to him on the same newspaper and advised him to read the laws again because everything she did was according to law.
She's truly an inspiring figure, given the context of the society she lived in.
She corrected her spelling..that's iconic! I love her mind!
If shes able to get rid of an Emperor because hes toxic you can get rid of the toxic relationships in your life
Preach
Stop shaming victims for being victims.
👍
@@tiredtears4177 She is not shaming, she is encouraging. You, however, is an enabler.
@@tiredtears4177 sorry that came across as that but that's not what I was doing. If it triggered something that's something you need to work on
At the end, Wenxiu found happiness and died being loved....that's priceless.
puyi: *treated wenxiu so horribly*
wenxiu: *divorced him*
puyi: *shooketh pikachu face*
So happy that this poor young woman found freedom love and happiness at the end .
Compared to the other two, she wasn’t poor by any means.
Strong woman, it sickened me that the emperor would refuse her right to remarry despite the fact they were getting a divorce, as if she shouldn't have been allowed to to experience a fulfilling marriage.
King farouk of Egypt tried to did the same after divorcing his wife queen Farida He tried to take a degree from the religious institution to firbid her from remarriage but he couldn't
Agreed. He was a real piece of work - and not in a good way. Ignored her all that time, but like a spoiled brat, didn't want her to meet someone who would respect and value her. She was well rid of him.
at the end her life was more meaningful than the empress & emperor.
The good thing is, Wenxiu survived WWII and Chinese Civil War, compared what happened to Pu Yi and (especially) Wanrong
Although Wanrong had a western education, she still clung on to the outdated and empty "Empress of China" title.
To die later so miserably alone in the end
WenXiu on the other hand, was more determined to break free these centuries old Manchu custom and to live the life she really wanted.
She is the more successful woman and died being loved
The imperial consort led a fuller life than her ex husband or his wife. A true feminist icon. She broke with 3,000 yrs of tradition and gave the last emperor the middle finger by marrying for love.
I always admire an empress/consorts leaving the emperor! Poor or not she lived her life like she wanted! A simple girl with a gorgeous mind
She is not an empress but a consort.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj thank you!
Ailian is a beautiful name. She has a charming and engaging smile. She found love and happiness. A story I'll remember and share. Thanks.
She was a very strong and brave young women👍👍👍👍She did the right thing because she took the Divorce from the emporer👏👏👏👏I love her brave and strong thougts 👍👍👍👍Thank you from Germany 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for bringing up the story of Wenxiu. There are many pictures of her from her brief time in the Forbidden City where she looked like a very cheerful and kind girl. I find even funny that somehow she and Wanrong sometimes dressed alike like twins, which seems to be on purpose and not by custom. It's sad that things went bad for them and that they grew apart because they seemed to be friends at the beginning, but also the culture within the inner court and the strained lives they had to lead there made it difficult for them to remain in amicable terms, specially if Puyi was starting to despise Wenxiu (because it meant that everyone had to look down on her, servants included). I also think that it was a bitter blow for her to be demoted to commoner, since people from the banners took a lot of pride on their rank, and even more if it was a woman from the harem, it was like loosing identity in the world. Her sister was married to another Aisin Gioro, I believe Puyi's cousin and kind of recall she got divorced almost at the same time, so it was a scandal within for what remained of the Qing nobility. What I wonder sometimes is why if she was the first option for Empress, she was made just Consort Shu instead of Noble Consort, specially if we think that Puyi seemed not interested into expand the harem, should he got allowed to stay longer in the Forbidden City.
He was a spoiled brat, and was used to getting his way. Plus his title made him a liability for any warlord who kept him. So he had to go.
She got happy ending rather than the Empress that her body remains unknown
Yes,she did right in divorcing the emperor.unlike the empress who was more conservative and met a tragic ending by going through thick and thin with puyi
@@Mrs.miriam The empress wasn't conservative at all. She was a drug addict along with her husband.
When she is with him, he didn't like her again he also didn't want to divorce her. He didn't mind having many wife but he want her to stay single after divorce? Wt
Pu Yi didn't know how to love because he had never been loved by anyone since his childhood either. It was a hard time for everyone. Even Wanrong was devastated.
It's a displaced psychology. It's not love from Puyi, it's a property ownership. Good for her! She did the right thing for herself.
Pride and ego
It's not about him not wanting her to be single. If you're a normal person, nobody care if you divorce or not but if you're a emperor, it's about legacy. The fact that you know about it, kind explain it.
Because no woman of an emperor can marry a commoner. That's the fact. It's also the first time in Chinese history a concubine divorcing an emperor.its usually the emperor who deserts the concubine.lol
The men in qing dynasty seriously had some problems
Not only qing dynasty every dynasty. If you read history you will disgusted by it.
Not just men by women too but it is not just the Qing dynasty.
@@khambika2594 true
Any man with 2 wives will have competition and can't get along... after all every king will become mad...
in the first place, the man from feudal system must be chicken brain if they thought women willingly want to share husband
Not only Wen Xiu but the Emperor himself was also a prisoner in the Forbidden City. Wen Xiu was brave and smart enough to leave a loveless marriage. She did the right thing. RIP Wen Xiu.
Puyi didn’t deserve Wenxiu and I’m sure he encouraged the rivalry that could have been a good friendship
Great content, well paced and engaging delivery. Unlike many other vids, minimal repetition of information and not strung out into a longer story than necessary. I will be checking out your other offerings.
im happy for her choice in life the king didnt love him back but later she found someone who love her until her last breath what a story
Smart lady. She did the right thing.
I am in love with her bravery, she knew she was a person and more than a position😎
Honestly I watched both stories of Wenxiu and Wanrong, and I definitely think that Wenxiu made a better decision. Honestly, Puyi seems like a horrible man. I’m glad Wenxiu was able to lead a happy life in her later years.
She was in real sense very inspiring, it's good she fought all odds to take divorce and live life with dignity , even though in less income ...
No even though. She had wealth and titles but they were meaningless without love.
Not sure why China hasn’t made this into a soap opera.
she's an incredible woman figure, the first to divorce an emperor at a time when women were treated like possessions and had no right. I'd love to see a movie about her
This is the first time i learned an empress divorced a emperor. So far i know it always the emperor/king who did it first
not the empress
She was a Consort. The second empress of Emperor Qianlong is the one to look at for divorcing.
She NOT Empress. She is his concubine. The first wife was the Empress. There was only one Empress, the first wife. 🙂🙂🙂
The first in Chinese history, for a concubine to do that to an emperor. so, it's a shocking sensational news at that time.the emperor lost his face
@@Mrs.miriam are you talking about the second empress of Qianlong?
She just wanted love as well. Great video as always. I enjoyed it.
She led a life of contribution and giving meaning to her life ☺️. Why did the emperor bother to marry if he had no interest.
That finally explain the whole story. As long as wenxiu is happy to be where she is at now. Lol
May her story be a motivation for women in toxic relationships to stand up and seek their own happiness.
So glad that she found love and happiness later in life. Decision to leave a broken relationship became a blessing for her.
Wenxiu is a strong woman! She is truly proves that happiness and peace of mind cannot be equated with money and power. ✨💖✨
They all lived in an awkward situation. All that internal problem in The Forbidden City, plus all the turmoils happening in many parts of the world, they all mixed up in chaotic condition.
I like seeing how she smiles in all her pictures. People back then would just be all like 😐
Can you pls make video of IMPIREAL NOBLE CONSORT LING FEI. I love your videos and explanation pls do make a video🙏🙏🙏
Sure, It's coming soon! ;)
@@storyofhistoricalfigures9278 great it will be amazing to know more about how she das poison it, do you think it was because of qialongs order or an harem conspiracy?
i would love to know more about the consort shu and other consorte that live the largest lifes in qialongs harem as well i would like to know more about con shujia huang gui fei, chunhui huang guifwi and zhemin huang guifei that where alsó qialong consorts but die very young
Thank you forma tour great content
Awesome informational video!
Bold and wise Woman
Interesting lady at least she got out in time and still lived her life.
I think the matters about the love of family members are most important. How he looks or she looks was not the case, what she can do to keep family and friends around her together. It is not important anymore when they decided to separate from each other. They bad-mouth each other against something he lacks being romantic to her and paying more attention to something else not treasuring what she did for the whole entire clan. Chinese kept saying that since the Qing took over China, everybody live under their government getting better and better than before. Their fathers led China to another stage of laws while the terrorists in the country still hold grudges against them. robbery, stealing, kidnapping, attacked them in many ways.
I love listening to your videos.
brave woman, she certainly made the right & probably even the best decision of her life in leaving that selfish prick! RIP
Good for her
Great story love these 👍
A major Factual Error:
Wenxiu was NOT "the Last Consort of China" as the video claims. (For that matter nor was Wanrong the "the Last Empress of China"). Both were married to Puyi in 1922. Puyi, known as Emperor Xuantong of Qing, had already abdicated in 1912, which marked the end of the Qing dynasty as China's central government. Pursuant to the Instrument of Abdication, which remained legally valid until 1924, the government of Republic of China continued to recognize Puyi's imperial title and treat him according to the diplomatic protocol befitting a foreign monarch over the next 12 years. In other words, from his accession to the throne in Nov 1908 (when he was only 3 years old) until Feb 12th, 1912, Puyi was the Emperor of China. From that day onward until 1924, he was merely the Emperor of Qing Court (as recognized by Republic of China), whose legal status was reduced to a nonprofit corporation of ROC. In was against this backdrop Wenxiu and Wanrong married to Puyi in 1922. Wenxiu was therefore legitimately the Imperial Consort of Qing between 1922 and 1924. She of course had nothing to do with "the Last Consort of China", however, as China ceased being a monarchy more than a decade before her wedding. 1922 was already the 10th year of the Republic era.
The person who was the real "Last Consort of China" was in fact Imperial Noble Consort Wenjing (1873-1924), who was the consort of Emperor Guangxu of Qing, Puyi's predecessor. She was effectively the true governor (in the name of "regency") of the abdicated Qing court during 1913-1922. Upon Puyi's wedding the regency ended and Puyi personally took over the authority of the Qing Court. His imperial title would last for two more years until the Republic finally rescinded its recognition of all the remaining titles & privileges of the Qing court. Thereupon Puyi, Wenxiu, and other imperial nobles formally received the citizenship from Republic of China. The imperial clan was evicted from the Forbidden City and went into exile in Tianjin International Concession Zone subsequently. (Then and there Wenxiu filed for divorce).
She was only 12 when she was picked as a wife. Poor child.
Puyi was abusive and a sadist. I am happy she got away from him!
Merci
As long as she's happy..
Strong woman
I remember reading somewhere that Wenxia had an Opium addiction and went mad and died. I must be confused with someone else!? Anybody knows who I am talking about?
I think you confuse concubine WenXia with the Empress, Puyu's nr 1 wife. It's the Empress who got addicted to O.
Its wanrong who got addicted with drugs
Wenxiu was the favorite, at least in the beginning, not Wanrong.
That was well said,thais
She has a gutsy character and doesn't think much of social decorum/ etiquette. It is the norm that any woman who becomes part of the emperor's circle of women cannot leave the palace anymore. So, if the emperor hasn't visited her in marital bed, she might die as a virgin there.( Earlier part of the Qing dynasty). During puyi's time, he only has 1 concubine. Belt tightening ,you know. Treasury was plundered by empress dowager cixi and war
so happy she freed from the golden cage
I wish that they can make this into a movie
She died young at 44. 🥺 Hope she enjoyed her latter years despite being poor.
Que otimo
Good for wenxiu. Poor thing. Pu Yi was a sadistic SOB.
側室としてただ、適当に〇されて、運命が大きく変わってしまった。選ばれなかった方達はラッキーでした。本妻は野垂れ死に、側室は餓死って最悪。ラストエンペラーは女性に興味が無かったと聞きました。
The name of the movie
Atlast a woman who had ideas way beyond her time did it !!!!
The bilingual part got to me. Lol..
Basically the pretty girl remained married n was miserable. The duckling she gets love later in life.
Puyi was a token emperor.
I don't judge their marriage as bad, I think the way they run everybody inside the dynasty is not well being. Like she could not bear a son for the king, they disgrace her and place her in a cold environment. The laws against intelligent and nice ladies in the kingdom shut them out of socializing in a good way. Like now they run everybody in USA the same way. Men have every right to raise their hands and loudmouth about her and when she opens the story of how they are after her family. They are all disregarded how she cares and has love for them the whole entire time. They said it is all about jealousy, I don't think so. It is all about this group of people empowering themselves over another group of victims just because they think being evil could win all and being nice and simple to each other sincerely will not help anything at all.
Awww
Didn't mention they had children or not
The emperor had no children.
big factor loneliness second he couldnt please her sexually
It’s divorce. Not divoice!
The emperor was gay.
She NOT pretty 😁😁😁
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
She NOT pretty, that is the truth. Most Concubines were NOT pretty 😁😁😁
She doesn't deserve how she was treated no matter how she looked......
So what?
maybe not photogenic or just needed a makeover
Can you pls make video of IMPIREAL NOBLE CONSORT LING FEI. I love your videos and explanation pls do make a video🙏🙏🙏
