Quiet Garden Villa
The Garden of Serenity or Jingyuan (靜園) is a museum and former residence of Puyi, the last emperor of China in Tianjin, China. History Located at 70 Anshan Road (then Miyajima Road) in the then Tianjin Japanese Concession, the Garden of Serenity was the residence of Lu Zongyu, a warlord and a member of the Senate during the Republican era. In July 1929, Puyi moved to the villa and changed the name to "Jingyuan''. Puyi lived there until 1931 before moving to Manchukuo. The building was later used for offices and was subsequently renovated and changed with parts of the Garden of Serenity being demolished.

Statues Of Puyi And Wanrong In The Jing Yuan
A statue is a free-standing sculpture in which the realistic, full-length figures of persons or animals are carved or cast in a durable material such as wood, metal or stone. Typical statues are life-sized or close to life-size. A sculpture that represents persons or animals in full figure, but that is small enough to lift and carry is a ''statuette'' or figurine, whilst those that are more than twice life-size are regarded as ''colossal statues''. Statues have been produced in many cultures from prehistory to the present; the oldest-known statue dating to about 30,000 years ago. Statues represent many different people and animals, real and mythical. Many statues are placed in public places as public art.

Manchukuo
Manchukuo, officially known as the State of Manchuria prior to 1934 and the Empire of Great Manchuria thereafter, was a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in Northeast China that existed from 1932 until its dissolution in 1945. It was ostensibly founded as a republic, its territory consisting of the lands seized in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria; it was later declared to be a constitutional monarchy in 1934, though very little changed in the actual functioning of government. Manchukuo received limited diplomatic recognition, mostly from states aligned with the Axis powers, with its existence widely seen as illegitimate. The region now known as Manchuria had historically been the homeland of the Manchu people, though by the 20th century they had long since become a minority in the region, with Han Chinese constituting by far the largest ethnic group. The Manchu-led Qing dynasty, which had governed China since 17th century, was overthrown with the permanent abolition of the ...
