YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe dragon Lady. Such is the nickname given by western observers to a woman who successfully seized power in late imperial China, and subsequently ruled the celestial empire for half a century, empress dowager Cixi. Her reputation as a ruthless and cruel ruler has often been depicted in both China and the west, while her image at the time was promoted as that of a compassionate leader. Between tradition and modernity, Cixi’s role in the end of the Qing dynasty was undoubtably of pivotal importance for the fate of a whole civilization. But who was she really, and how did a woman outside the imperial clan managed to rule china for over 47 years? Today, I bring you the biography of the the dragon lady, Empress Dowager Cixi.
