Jin Youzhi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jin Youzhi (金友之) (born 1918 or 1919) is the fourth (youngest) son of Zaifeng, 2nd Prince Chun and currently the only surviving brother of Puyi, the last Emperor of China and Manchukuo. He was born Pu-ren (溥任) of the Aisin Gioro clan and hypothetically would be today's Emperor of Manchukuo, but not of China, because imperial tradition prescribed that a childless Emperor should choose his heir from the next generation of the family, not from his own generation, and Puyi appointed his cousin Prince Yuyan as heir of the Qing dynasty in 1950. Instead of using his Manchu clan name as a surname, he adopted the surname Jin. This name means "Gold" in Chinese, as does "Aisin" in Manchurian. His courtesy name is Youzhi. He served for a time in minor administrative positions in the Beijing region. He is the father of Jin Yuzhang.
