His grandmother was the last Empress of the Qing Dynasty in China, but she has been teaching low-key in China.

In ancient China, the emperor and the princes were the highest point of power that people aspired to. Although many commoners wished to become such people, some many emperors and nobles said they were "unfortunate to be born into the imperial family." For example, the Shunzhi Emperor of ancient China once said, "I was originally a monk from the Western Regions, so why was I born into the imperial family?"

There is such a person who was also born into an imperial family. The last emperor, Puyi, was his brother, Emperor Guangxu was his uncle, and Cixi was his grandmother. However, he knows current affairs and is a low-key person. He is Pu Ren.

A prince who comes from the royal family but remains steadfast in his way.

In 1918, China was undergoing a great transformation, and it was in this year that the Aisin-Gioro family welcomed a new son, Pu Ren. He was born during the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of revolutionary fervor. Being born into the royal family of the last feudal dynasty during its decline was unfortunate, and Pu Ren witnessed the downfall and disintegration of the Qing government, as well as its last gasp of glory. He knew that the tide of history could not be reversed, so he did not plan to change the times. The only thing he could change was himself.

According to the abdication edict of the last emperor, the Aisin-Gioro family was required to change their surname to other surnames, with most changing to "Jin." Pu Ren was no exception and changed his name to Jin Youzhi, a peaceful and simple name. He was perhaps the most honest and law-abiding "prince" after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. 

Although Pu Ren learned old history when he was young and was still exposed to feudal ideas, his thinking was not backward. He could recognize right from wrong. When Puyi went to “govern” Manchukuo that year, he invited him but he did not go. He knew that he had to have a correct attitude in the face of right and wrong to have a way out.

After the 9.18 Incident in China, Pu Ren went to visit his brother Puyi and Pujie with his father. He saw the miserable appearance of Puyi and Pujie being called by the Japanese and saw the hypocrisy and puppet nature of Manchukuo. He knew that the Qing Dynasty had been forgotten, and being an emperor was nothing special. Therefore, he did not stay there for long and hurried back to Beijing. After this trip, Pu Ren seemed to have changed a lot. He was always self-aware, and cautious, and read books every day without asking about political affairs.

Pu Ren was born in the Chun Palace, which seemed like an inconspicuous royal courtyard, but two emperors, Emperor Guangxu Zaitian and the last Emperor Puyi, were born there. Pu Ren's father, Prince Regent Zaifeng, was a powerful figure in the late Qing Dynasty. However, those times have passed and things have changed. 

In 1947, Pu Ren, who was about to turn 30, sold the more valuable royal items in his family with the approval of his father, Prince Chun. He used the money to open Beijing Jingye Elementary School in an old house that belonged to Prince Chun. The house was run-down and overgrown with weeds, but Pu Ren did not seem to mind and did not make an effort to trim the weeds. He became the school's principal and ran it himself.

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Pu Ren's family lived in fear that the new government would treat them cruelly like the previous Nationalist government. However, the government decided that the Chun Prince Mansion, which was owned by Zaifeng and Pu Ren, would remain their private property. Nevertheless, since the government needed office space, they were allowed to purchase the mansion with the consent of Zaifeng and Pu Ren. 

After receiving approval from the Chinese government, Pu Ren's elementary school began normal teaching activities. Later, Pu Ren handed the school over to the state, and it became a public school. Pu Ren then became a humble and honorable teacher.

Until his retirement, Pu Ren had been engaged in the education industry, teaching was his job for most of his life. With his salary and subsidies, although the family did not have the luxurious life of nobles, they still lived colorful life. Later, with the consent and support of his father, Pu Ren sold the Wang mansion to a senior industrial school and moved with his family to a courtyard in a hutong.

Pu Ren lived a humble life and contributed most of his life to the education industry. After retirement, he could have enjoyed a carefree life with his children's filial piety, but instead, he became busier. He devoted himself to researching Qing history as a member of the Qing royal family and a researcher at the Beijing Municipal Cultural and Historical Research Institute. His research undoubtedly increased the authority and persuasiveness of Qing history. 

In the early 1950s, Pu Ren donated dozens of precious imperial cultural relics such as the gold seal and silver book of the royal family to government departments such as the Cultural Bureau and the Cultural Relics Bureau free of charge, his father's wishes. He received high praise from government departments and the public. He also donated more than 7,000 volumes of books, including "Twenty-Four Histories" and "Draft History of Qing," and later donated the royal library to higher education institutions and cultural organizations such as Peking University and Beijing Library.

Pu Ren lived a simple life and was content with his modest lifestyle. However, some people who were obsessed with fame and fortune caused him great trouble. Some authors wrote articles about Pu Yi's private life to attract attention, while others distorted the history of the Qing Dynasty, fabricating stories. To defend the reputation of his family and relatives, Pu Ren harshly criticized these authors and used historical facts to refute their claims, but with little effect. 

Pu Ren had a deep interest in the history of the Qing Dynasty, perhaps due to his personal experience. He published works such as "The Life and Study of Martial Arts of the Late Qing Dynasty Princes" and "Memories of Prince Chun's Mansion," which have high documentary value for studying the lives of imperial and royal families. Pu Ren tirelessly researched this area of history until his passing in 2015 at the age of 96.

Pu Ren, despite being born into an imperial family, was low-key, practical, frugal, and dedicated to his work. He quietly devoted his entire life to his beloved cause and made unique contributions and achievements that no one could compare to. Although he has long passed away, the schools he founded and the works he created will remain forever.
