I would rather give to a friend than to be a domestic slave

This is what Cixi said

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing. Cixi took Guangxu and fled to Xi'an. The following year On February 14, the "Peace Negotiation Outline" was approved and the shameless and traitorous policy of "measuring China's material resources and winning the favor of the country" was promulgated. Cixi obeyed the advice of the foreigners, and ceding land and paying compensation was as easy as paying bills. If she said it, she would cede it, and if she said it, she would pay it. I would give you as much as you wanted. According to her, only in this way can "China's material resources be measured and the country be happy." On September 7, the "Xinchou Treaty" was signed, which was humiliating and humiliating the country. Returned to Beijing in 1902.

From then on, Cixi was "wary of the power of outsiders, and would bend to whatever he asked for." The traitorous "famous saying" of Western food was: "I would rather give to a friend than a domestic slave." The allies are the imperialist powers, and the domestic slaves are the Chinese people. The "gift to friendly countries" is the cession of territory and compensation, and the "no domestic slaves" is the political reform of "constitutional monarchy".
