EMPRESS ORCHID
By Anchee Min
Summary
This semester I read a book called EMPRESS ORCHID which is written by a foreign citizen of Chinese orign Anchee Min.The whole world knows that Cixi is the last empre in china.She is not only a china empre, but also a china ruler.But , the minority of peole know that Cixi is a pity child when she was young.She is pretty poor that her family had not enough money to burry her father.She is pretty pathetic that her family had to live with their family.Not enough money, not enough food, not enough clothes.At the age of 17, she was forced to marry her stupid cousin.Fortunately, she had the rights to participate in the imperial concubine selection.Luckily, she was selected by emperorHiesn Feng.The first three years in the palace, Orchid is not the favourit concubine.What amazing me is that she had not been seen by Hiesn Feng after the selection.She was so sad that she started to resort to the hook way.And finally she got Hisen Feng’s heart and become more and more powerful.Comment
Before reading the book , I always consider that Cixi is a women whose family is wealth.I always think that she is lucky in her whole life.After read that book, I found the fact is on the contrary.She was poor like most of the Chinese in Qing Dynasty.She is a reflection on Qing women.If she was not select by Hiesn Feng, she would just a ordinay woman.Not as powerful as we think.Maybe we always consider that Cixi is a bad woman whose detory our country.But, every coin has two sides, we should read more and learn more to evaluate a person.Not just through ourlittle knowledge.
