Aisin Gioro Huisheng (; Japanese: 愛新覚羅慧生; Romaji: Aishinkakura Eisei) (26 February 1938 — 4 December 1957) was a Princess of the Manchu ruling family. She was the elder daughter of Pujie and his Japanese wife, the noblewoman Hiro Saga. Her uncle, Puyi, was the last Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. She lived in Manchukuo until 1943, when she was sent to Japan to live with her grandparents. She received her education in various prestigious private schools, such as the Gakushuin. She had great interest in both Japanese and Chinese literature. At that time, the political climate in Manchukuo was extremely unstable. After the fall of Japan in World War II, her father was imprisoned by the Soviet Union, while her mother and younger sister Yunsheng were alternately imprisoned or in hiding. After her mother and sister's release in 1947, she was reunited with them, but her father remained incarcerated and lost touch with them. During this time, Huisheng wrote to Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, requesting to be put in touch with her father. Premier Zhou was moved by her letter and granted her permission. Unfortunately, the visit of the daughter to her father was not to be. The most widely publicized shinju in recent years was that of a princess and a commoner, both 19, who chose to die together in a romantic woodland setting when their parents opposed their marriage. The tragic deaths of Princess Pu Hui-Sheng, niece of the last Emperor of China, and Takemichi Okubo, son of a railway executive, had a popular appeal closely resembling the ending in many of Japan's famous Kabuki dramas. The case also has assumed immediate social significance for Japan's emancipated postwar generation and for her less liberal-minded elders. Some believe that the tragedy could have historic influence. Younger Japanese cite the tragedy as a consequence of what they call "feudalistic thinking" by old-fashioned parents. Spokesmen for the older generation say this would not have happened if the United States occupation had not forced a lot of unwanted innovations upon the Japanese. The case of the princess and the commoner has a special dramatic element Princess Pu had been mentioned as a possible candidate to marry Crown Prince Akihito. She and her lover disappeared December 4, 1957. The girl left behind a note indicating a suicide pact. Several days later, after a search had been made, her mother, a marchioness in Japan's prewar nobility, broadcast on the radio that she had withdrawn her objections to the marriage. It was too late. Their bodies were found in a secluded wood on the Izu Peninsula, a famous scenic and honeymoon area about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo. There they had spent one night in a hotel. The princess, a new gold ring on her finger, lay with her head cradled in young Okubo's left arm. The dead boy held an old Japanese army pistol in his right hand. Above their heads was a twist of tissue paper containing snips of their hair and fingernails, part of the ritual of Japanese love suicides. At the request of the boy's father, their ashes were interred together. There had long been a superstition within her family, which said that all the eldest daughters born to their household were destined to die young. Huisheng's eldest aunt had died young as well. Huisheng was first buried in Nisonin, the Saga family plot, and later moved to an Aisin-Gioro family plot in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi. When Pujie and Lady Saga died, they were buried there as well. ==Ancestry== 〔Edward Robb Ellis and George N.
