Li Shuxian

Li Shuxian (Chinese: 李淑賢; pinyin: Lǐ Shūxían; Wade–Giles: Li3 Shu1-hsien2; 4 September 1924 – 9 June 1997), was the fifth and last wife of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty in China.

She was not a regular hospital employee, but supplemented her income with a special stipend from the government that gave her a degree of financial stability.

[5] In the early eighties, she sought and received legal ownership of royalties from Puyi's autobiography from the government of China.

It had been Puyi's desire to be buried alongside Li as well as his first concubine Tan Yuling (潭玉齡).

The author, Wang Qingxiang (王慶祥), compiled oral interviews with Li Shuxian, along with those of others close to Puyi in his later years, to retell their marriage and family life.
