To say this, we should start with eunuchs. Eunuchs are a special group in the history of China. Especially after Qin and Han dynasties, the management of eunuchs tends to be institutionalized. Only by serving the royal family and the country can they succeed and be inferior to absolute monarchs. In ancient times, eunuchs were generally disliked. Only those poor children whose families are surrounded and unable to make a living will choose to enter the palace in vain and make a living by themselves. After these people became eunuchs, they attached themselves to the life of the royal family, making people with great skills become powerful masters in charge of the court, while ordinary eunuchs regarded relatives of the royal family as their own masters and devoted their lives.
19 1 1 year, Puyi abdicated as the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty because someone set fire to the palace. Considering his own safety, Puyi ordered the concubines in the palace to choose twenty trusted eunuchs to wait on him, and the rest were expelled from the palace. These eunuchs who were sent out of the palace had no family and no face to return to their hometown, so they gathered in a ruined temple in the suburbs to live. 1959, Puyi was released from prison. He remembered these people who accompanied him in his heart. After he got out of prison, he went directly to visit the ruined temple. Even though these eunuchs have been wandering for a long time, when they see Puyi, they feel that they have returned to the past and met their master. They knelt down and shouted for a long time as before.
In fact, choosing to be a eunuch is tantamount to choosing a road without a back road. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, these eunuchs were left where they were and lived in their dreams forever.
