Who Am I?
Indeed he was a 20thC character...very famous as well....starred in a film about his downfall.
His family had reigned for 260 years, but he was the last of his line.
Though he is survived by brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces none hold a title.
The most famous member of his family is a fictional character.
Indeed it was "The Last Emperor"
Aisin Gioro Puyi, Last Manchu Quing Dynasty Emperor of China, last in line of a dynasty that ruled for just over 260 years.
Imprisoned in Manchuko, then Russia, then China (where he was known simply as Prisoner 198). On his release he was officially renamed Aisingioro Puyi.
whilst in Russia he starred in a film about himself, playing himself.
He was enthroned three times - twice Emperor of China, Once Emperor of Manchuko. He was deposed, then reinstated, abdicated, enthroned, then abdicated at the end of WW2.
His autobiography was an international best seller, and after his re-education by the PRCCP he became a party official and politician. During the Cultural Revolution he fell again. He never recovered from the humiliation lumped on him by the Red Guard, died of cancer in 1967, and was buried in Beijing.
He was reburied with his Manchu Quing ancestors in 1998, and his grave has no epitaph, simply a name and his birth and death dates.
And the most famous member of his family who is in fact a fictional character?
Fu Manchu. His fictional autobiography states he is supposed to be the son of a Manchu prince, and his family were killed by the British during the opium wars. Fu supported the Boxers, and as a result is exiled by the Quing emperor. Fu Manchu's emblem is thus the Quing Manchu flag...a black dragon on a yellow background.
