About This Book

A former close companion offers a personal, chronological portrait of the Empress, opening with memories of provincial childhood and court life, describing family routines, charities, and beliefs; proceeds to depict domestic scenes and relationships within the imperial household; then turns to the upheaval of revolution, chronicling confinement, departure from power, and the Empress's steadfast faith and suffering. The volume intersperses recollections with reproduced letters, facsimiles, and photographs to illuminate character, private habits, and public misconceptions, and aims to correct rumors by presenting an affectionate, first‑hand account of personality, loyalties, and the human costs of political collapse.
