If I could choose which time period I would be born in, I would choose the Qing Dynasty (1636-1911). To be more specific, I would like it to be around the years that KangXi Emperor was on the throne, around 1700s would be the best. The reason that I would choose to be born in this time period was because a famous and noble person existed during this time period, the eighth son of the KangXi Emperor. His name was YinSi, and family name was Aisin Giorro.
I was watching a TV drama series called The Palace like two weeks ago and it was about the stories between the sons of KangXi Emperor and this girl called QingChuan Luo. In the drama, YinSi is a very good person; he cares about his brothers and protects the people that he loves. He is also a very filial son to both his father and mother. Although I have to admit that the drama dramatized all the characters and YinSi was probably not as nice in the history as in the play, I still like him a lot after I watched The Palace. He is like the perfect man for every girl.
In the history, YinSi was born in 1681 and died in 1726, at the age of 45. According to the historical record, YinSi’s mother was only a servant girl before she became the concubine of KangXi Emperor. So YinSi did not have very high up social status as his other brothers. However, he was one of the smartest sons of KangXi Emperor and KangXi Emperor liked him a lot. Then the conflict of choosing the crown prince came along. YinSi was the ideal crown prince among the ministers, but KangXi Emperor thought his social status was relatively low. From that point on, KangXi Emperor started to dislike YinSi. Then YinSi died at the fourth year of the reign of the next emperor. It was kind of sad because the new emperor did not like him and blamed everything on him.
I wish I could be born in the Qing Dynasty and find this perfect man to give him support and protection.
