History by Sharrie
Read a great deal about Chinese history before enjoying & assimilating the sights & culture of this thousand years civilization.The rule of the Dragon Throne ended with the outbreak of the Chinese Revolution in 1911. In 1912, the leaders of the new republic forced the 6-year-old emperor, PU YI (1906-67) to abdicate; he was permitted to live in the Palace as a virtual prisoner until 1924. PU YI ended his days working at Beijing's botanic gardens!
