Jin Moyu (; 1918 – May 26, 2014), also known as Aisin Gioro Xianqi ()〔 or Aixinjueluo Xianqi,〔 was a Chinese educator and the last surviving Manchu princess. She was the 17th daughter of Shanqi, the 10th son of Prince Su of the Aisin Gioro clan, the imperial family that ruled China under the Qing dynasty, which ended with the Xinhai Revolution in 1911.〔 Jin's older sister was Yoshiko Kawashima, a Japanese spy who was executed by the Kuomintang as a traitor in March 1948.〔 Jin was born in Lüshun in 1918, seven years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Both her father and mother died when she was just four years old. She was raised by her three stepsisters after he parents' deaths.〔 She lived in Japan as a student. However, Jin chose to move back to Beijing when she was nineteen years old to pursue a career as either a journalist or entertainer.〔 She settled for a position with a Japanese firm instead.〔 Jin Moyu's older brothers lost most of the Aisin Gioro family fortune in 1948 following the Chinese Civil War. The brothers fled to British Hong Kong, leaving Jin Moyu to take care of the her six nieces and nephews, as well as Jin's own daughter and the family's elderly nanny.〔 Nearly destitute, Jin sold most of the possessions in her family home. She also earned additional income by selling knitted jumpers and taking out loans.〔 She opened her own restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine in 1952.〔 She married Chinese artist Ma Wanli in 1953 (Jin was Ma's third wife).〔 Jin left her restaurant around the time of her wedding and took a position with the country's central translation agency.〔 In February 1958, Jin was arrested at her home and imprisoned, due solely to her being a descendent of the former ruling Qing Dynasty imperial family.〔 She remained in prison for fifteen years, until her release as a forced farm laborer in 1973.〔 She struggled for several years. In 1978, Jin wrote a letter to Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping pleading for a job.〔 Deng gave her a new job soon after.〔 During the 1980s, Jin began planning to create a Japanese language school in China. She and her second husband opened in school in Hebei in 1996.〔 Jin Moyu, the last living Manchurian princess, died at a Beijing hospital on May 26, 2014, at the age of 95.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jin Moyu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
