China's last emperor was Puyi, also known as Henry Puyi (referred to as Pu Yi in Pinyin), who was born on February 7, 1906. Puyi became the emperor of China at the age of two when he was chosen by the Empress Dowager Cixi to succeed his uncle as the Qing dynasty's last emperor.

Puyi's reign was brief and turbulent, marked by the decline and eventual collapse of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Puyi abdicated in 1912 at the age of six, following the Xinhai Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the Qing dynasty.

In 1934, Puyi was installed by the Japanese as the emperor of the puppet state of Manchukuo in northeastern China. After Japan's defeat in World War II, Puyi was captured by Soviet forces and held as a prisoner until 1950. He then returned to China, where he was imprisoned and forced to undergo political re-education.

Puyi was eventually released in 1959 and became a gardener and librarian in Beijing. He died on October 17, 1967, in the People's Republic of China.
