He was the lord of a billion people. He was destined for `ten thousand years of happiness.` But the world of ancient traditions collapsed under the pressure of a century of change ... In 1908, the three -year -old Pu and, the last of the dynasty, who ruled the `Celestial Empire for thousands of years, was elevated to the throne of the dragon. The emperor-child is treated as a deity. He can do everything except one - to leave the limits of his palace. `Winds of change`, shaking the world behind its walls, do not fly to the forbidden city. But the life of the last emperor of China is part of the whole great history of the 20th century.
