The history of China's railway transport

Aisin Gioro Puyi, the last Emperor of China and final ruler of the Qing Dynasty, poses for a group picture in early March 1932 in Tanggangzi Railway Station, together with his wife Wanrong and several Japanese officials. Here, Puyi was forced to board the train to Changchun and assume the office of Emperor of Manchukuo (a puppet regime created in China's northeastern provinces by the Japanese imperialists between 1931 and 1945).
