This film traces the dramatic life of Pu Yi, the last Emperor of China. It follows him from his lofty birth and brief reign in the Forbidden City, where he was worshipped by half a billion people, through his abdication, decline, and dissolute lifestyle. Exploited by the invading Japanese, he ultimately ends up in obscurity as just another peasant worker in the People's Republic.
