Ngiyayithanda ifilimu kaBertolucci, «UMbusi wokugcina«. Le yifilimu enhle, ifilimu yokuqala enikezwe ilayisense nguhulumeni waseChina ukushutha ku- Idolobha Elinqatshelwe nezinye izimo zangempela. Kukulo mbusi wokugcina lapho amakhulu namakhulu eminyaka wababusi baseChina bephela, ngakho-ke uma sivakashele isigodlo masikhumbule umlando waso omangalisayo nobabazekayo.
Kwabizwa umbusi wokugcina waseChina Puyi futhi wazalwa ngo-1906 ngo Beijing. Wayengowokudabuka eManchu futhi kwathi lapho eneminyaka emithathu ubudala wamenyezelwa njengombusi ngegama likaXuantong yize ubaba wakhe kunguyena owayesebenzisa uhulumeni kukho konke ukubusa kwakhe. Wazalwa ngamalungelo amangalisayo, wabhekana noshintsho olukhulu emlandweni wezwe lakubo njenganoma yisiphi esinye isicukuthwane. Okokuqala, kwakuyizinguquko zase-republican zango-1912 ezamphoqa ukuthi ashiye isikhundla sakhe futhi aphile ngasese esigodlweni ngempesheni yombuso.
Lapho wayehlala khona, ngemuva kwezindonga zedolobha elikhulu, kusukela ngo-1912 kuya ku-1924. Ngo-1917 wabuyiselwa esihlalweni sobukhosi izinsuku eziyi-12 kuphela kodwa ekupheleni kwalezo zinsuku ezazinosizi ixoshiwe ekugcineni evela eBeijing ngo-1924 futhi esikhundleni sokuthatha ukukhoseliswa enxusa lamazwe aseNtshonalanga, uPuyi wamukela ukuvikelwa kwamaJapane futhi wathuthela edolobheni elalakhiwe yibo, iTianjin kwaze kwaba ngu-1932.
Iqiniso ukuthi lokhu kwakungumbusi ongenamandla, unodoli wezintshisekelo ezeqiwe zamaShayina namaJapane, indoda eyayimiselwe ukuba ngumphathi wokugcina wesicoco esasizomnika amandla omhlaba. Ngaleso sikhathi amaJapane ayenezinhloso zama-imperialist futhi efuna ukulawula i-Asia, ngakho bamqamba igama UMbusi WaseManchuria noma uManchukuo, kepha njengakuqala, wayengeyena nje unodoli wezepolitiki futhi wasebenzisa ukwenyanya kwamaShayina, ngandlela thile, egunyaza ukuhlala kwamaJapan emazweni amaShayina.
Ekugcineni i- i-Soviet Union uhlasela iManchuria, asuse uhulumeni wakhe odabukisayo futhi uPuyi agcine esejele lamakhomanisi iminyaka eyishumi, aze ahambe ngo-1959. Ngaleso sikhathi wayesekhathele, enesizungu futhi eyindoda endala okwathi ngesikhathi eboshiwe ehlala ephathwa njengembuka we bafowethu. Ngemuva kokuba ngu- Dandy Ukusuka ephathini kuya ephathini ngisemncane, iqiniso ukuthi umbusi wokugcina waseChina washona njengomlimi kanye nomgcini wezincwadi eBeijing ngo-1967.
