Puppet Emperor's Palace

If you are interested in the history of China and Japan, you should visit the **Museum of the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo** in Changchun, Jilin province. This museum was once the home of Puyi, the last emperor of China, who became the puppet ruler of Manchukuo, a state created by the Japanese invaders in 1932. You can see how Puyi lived under the control of the Japanese army, and how he tried to build a new palace that resembled the Forbidden City in Beijing. You can also learn about the tragic fate of Manchukuo and its people, who suffered under the brutal occupation until 1945, when Japan surrendered and Puyi was captured by the Soviet army. The museum is a reminder of the dark past and a source of patriotic education for the Chinese people.
