I am amazed that footage of this was both taken and survived.

Trying to play the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" tactic led him right into the hands of the Japanese.

I feel sad for this man. He became emperor at a very young age, yet in modern times, it would appear he was imprisoned inside the emperor's palace. When he came of age, he was manipulated and made into a puppet by a foreign invader.

​@@ecoro_ maybe the nationalist government had much bigger problems to deal with at that time

​​@Ellie5621 The USSR wanted to kill him after they captured him at the end of WW2 but Mao saved him Mao's reasoning was when the Russian tsar and his family were murdered it casted a shadow over Russia

My great-grandfather’s family lived in Harbin until the fall of the empire in 1945.
