last emperor-cixi empress death

[gpeddino]

Lisa Lu was 60 when she played Empress Ci Xi in this movie, and she has turned 98 this year (and still working!)

The death of Cixi is like a allusion to the dying Qing dynasty.

I remember touring the forbidden city and the guide telling many negative stories about her

[averongodoffire]

I find it funny how she laughs at the boys innocence and aloofness to the serious situation around her like “yeah it is very crazy I know”
For her to be so self aware of her own end is probably a lot to deal with and despite all the sureness around her passing and care she is given, she’s probably still worried and the kid is probably the only real relief

The emperor is on high, riding the dragon!” VS “The emperor is high, chasing the dragon!” That darned opium war with the British!

[jcomandante]

This woman once declared war on the world.

[Jah_Babylon]

she is now riding high with the dragon....

I am pretty sure drinking live turtle soup does not give you longevity.

[Rhombohedral]

Dowager Empress did have some fresh turtle soup!

[ocrap]

At 5:00 all I could think of was, DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD.

[invinoveritas]

The line of succession ends with Emperor Pu Yi...😁

[ViniVidiBibi]

no one talking about the turtle soup...😱

La mujer que condenó a china por el capricho de gobernar.

[leerogish]

Poor old lady is in their dying and those monks are out there causing such a noisy racket

[FolkloreLover]

Can anyone explain what the marble in the mouth and the alarming minstrel dance was for when she died?

[Mailiw-z]

Why is her room full of Luohan statues?

[nifralo]

They look like romans the men praying at the start

[maestrolodahl]

Could some please explain to me what the h is in that soup the Dowager Empress is drinkin?!? Is that a corpse in the soup?!? :O :O :O

[irawilliams]

What was the whole point of making a toddler the next emperor when Cixi knew she was gonna die?

[superchargerone]

Check out the death scene of CiXi in the Last Emperor. You will laugh when you notice the wild collection of clothing styles present.
