Emperor Puyi
Emperor Puyi was the Emperor of China prior to the Chinese Revolution. He was the final Emperor of China, and the end of his rule marked the end of the many years of Chinese Dynasties. Emperor Puyi was widely criticised by the people of China. Because he rose to his throne at a very early age, he was quite incapable of ruling the country, and had no experience with military activities. Behind the court, his mother the Empress Dowager Cixi assisted him in most of his law making.

Empress Dowager Cixi
The Empress Dowager Cixi was the mother of Emperor Puyi, the last Emperor of China. Because the Emperor Puyi rose to his throne at a very young age and was less than capable of ruling the country alone, the Empress assisted the Emperor in most of his law making and his decision making in the court. However, the Empress had a dictatorial style, and made some bad decisions along the way. She also died before the revolution, and was not present for most of it.
