The great-great-granddaughter of the last Qing Dynasty emperor Pu Yi is now in
Hong Kong working as a model. Because of her imperial blood, she really
attracts people's attention.
Only thing is, Pu Yi didn't have any children, so it's not too clear who this
girl is. But the five images of her on China.com put FHM China to shame.
This serves as yet another example of Chinese businesses turning to sex and the
taboo in the hopes of gaining market share. Actions that have had the Chinese
authorities taking steps to crack down on such marketing campaigns.
A few words about Henry
Most Westerners know Pu Yi, who also went by the name of Henry, from Bernardo
Bertolucci's film The Last Emperor. Wikipedia, commenting on the fact
that he is not known to have produced any children despite having a total of
five wives, notes that "some maintain he had homosexual tendencies".
Officially ousted as emperor in the Xinhai Revolution of 1911-12 that resulted
in the Republic of China, Pu Yi was briefly restored to his throne in 1917 (for
less than two weeks) by a warlord. He went on to a slightly more successful
career as Japan's puppet ruler of Manchukuo from 1932, but was captured by the
Soviets at the end of World War II and turned over to the Chinese communists
five years later, by which time the People's Republic of China had been
established.
After being "reformed" in a re-education camp, he eventually became a member of
the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He died in 1967.
