In 1924, Japan made Puyi the puppet emperor of Manchuria and pushed him to "take back Imperial China."

In 1937, Japan invaded China.

Reformer Kang Yu-wei continued to live in Japan. He broke with his disciple Liang Chi-chao, who first joined Sun Yat-sen, then Yuan Shih-kai. He finally quit both and became a private citizen.

Li Lien-ying left the Forbidden City after the Dowager Empress's funeral. He went to live in the monastery near his beloved lady's tomb until his death.
