Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be a king or queen? Some children did not have to imagine - they actually ruled their lands! Named the last emperor of China at the age of three, Pu Yi was one of these very young rulers. Pu Yi spent much of his childhood living a protected life in the Forbidden City, a town sealed off from the outside world by towering walls and a moat. When the Qing Dynasty collapsed though, Pu Yi turned from a pampered boy emperor into a penniless gardener. His fascinating life story tells of the transformation of Imperial China into a communist country.
