useful to you.

Is that so terrible, to be useful?

Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi!

By order of the supreme

people's count,

the war criminal Aisin-Gioro

Pu Yi, male, fifty-three years old,

of the Manchu nationality, and from Peking,

has now served

ten years detention!

As a result of remolding thought

labor and ideological education

during his captivity,

he has shown that he has

genuinely reformed!

In accordance with clause one

of the Special Pardon Order,

he is therefore to be released!

You see, I will end up living in

prison longer than you.
