Life
He was made the heir to the throne from March 18, 1899, to 24 January 1900, by Empress Dowager Cixi, after the failed Hundred Days' Reform and Cixi's coup. Pujun was a supporter of the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists.[1]
After the Boxer Rebellion, he and his father were sent to Xinjiang. They lived a life of poverty there, and after the 1911 Revolution, Yuan Shikai provided assistance to Zaiyi with 200 gold per month. After returning to Beijing, they lived in Prince Dun's Mansion. In the Beiyang government, Pujun served as a nominal counselor in successive presidential offices.
After Feng Yuxiang forced Puyi to leave the Forbidden City in the 1924 Beijing Coup, Pujun once again lived in poverty, becoming blind and passing away in 1942 due to liver disease.[2]
