In the recently established People's Republic of ChinaPuyi arrives as a political prisoner and war criminal at the Fushun Prison. Soon after his arrival, Puyi attempts suicide, which only renders him unconscious. In the first of a series of flashbacks between 1950 and various prior times, Puyi relives his being summoned to the Forbidden City in 1908, aged two, by the dying Empress Dowager Cixi (Lisa Lu). With her last words, at an audience with Puyi and his father, Cixi announces that Puyi will be the new emperor.

Despite having scores of eunuchsto wait on him, his only real friend is his wet nurse, who accompanied him and his father to the palace on the Empress Dowager's summons."
