Do you have any photos of Zhen Fei's body recovered one year after her death? Witnesses recalled the salvage process.

Princess Zhen was the favorite of Emperor Guangxu and a rare beauty in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, Princess Zhen only lived to be in her twenties and died. She was pushed into the well by Cixi and drowned. It's nothing. What really hurts is that Zhen Fei was soaked in well water for a year before she was able to rebuild the light of day. Although the photos of the body salvaged one year after Zhen Fei's death have not been handed down, the imperial secretary who participated in the salvage work recalled the situation at that time, and the scenes are still in sight.

When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, Cixi and others fled to the west with Emperor Guangxu and others in order to survive. Before they fled to the west, Zhen Fei begged and hoped that Cixi would take her in. However, Cixi had long been dissatisfied with Zhen Fei. She felt that it was a burden to take Zhen Fei with her, but she didn't trust to leave her in the palace, for fear that Eight-Nation Alliance would take a fancy to Zhen Fei's beauty, defile her and humiliate the royal family. Cixi simply died and threw her into the well, when she was just twenty-four years old.

Zhen Fei's body was soaked in the well water for a year until Eight-Nation Alliance retreated and Cixi and others came back from xi 'an. She decided to find someone to salvage the flying bones from the well water.

Cixi only claimed that Zhenfei was a martyr, and specially called Zhenfei's family to the palace to let them salvage the body. Witnesses recalled that before salvaging the body, they also performed a jumping ceremony to help extradite Zhenfei's soul. Then Zhen Fei's family worshipped the deceased, and Zhen Fei's sister Jin Fei paid homage to her sister.

It is said that the first thing that was salvaged was the broken bamboo mat that was thrown into the well with Zhenfei. And the process of salvaging the body is not so easy. Although I know that Zhen Fei's bones are in the well, I have been in the well for a year after all, and the wellhead is small. At first, I couldn't get the body out smoothly

When Cixi saw this, she was furious and wanted to punish Zhenfei's family. Finally, everyone managed to dismantle the wellhead and managed to salvage the body. The former first beauty in the harem has swollen beyond recognition. From beginning to end, Emperor Guangxu, who loved Zhen Fei the most, didn't show up.
