The last eunuch in history was Sun. Because the family conditions were not good when he was a child, his parents decided to send him to the palace, which was more or less better than starving at home. I didn't know until I got to the palace that I still had to pay for helping him lead a clean life, but his family didn't even have the money. Finally, his father decided to help him purify himself. When Sun woke up, his father told him that the Qing Dynasty was dead. I think his heart must have collapsed by this time. We went on to say that the Qing Dynasty was doomed.
First: Go back to your hometown.
The fate of these eunuchs is still relatively good. Although they will be looked down upon by others, they can still get together with their relatives in their later years. These eunuchs kept in touch with their families when they were in the palace.
Second: Self-reliance
These eunuchs are the best. Generally, they are red people in front of the emperor. They can do things, get a lot of pay, or do some lucrative jobs, and get a lot of money from them. After leaving the palace, these people will buy a real estate and marry a few daughters-in-law, so they can spend their old age safely.
Third: living in a nursing home
This way is like our modern endowment insurance. In order to live a stable life in his later years, former eunuchs initiated and organized a volunteer meeting for the elderly. This first appeared in the Ming dynasty, because the eunuch was looked down upon by many people after he left the palace and was unwilling to take it in. They have saved all their money to build temples, and after receiving rewards in the palace, they usually give them to temples, which is also a way out, but eunuchs who don't pay can't live in them.
Fourth: live with ladies-in-waiting
These people have been living with some maids in the palace. We will naturally be together after leaving the palace. They just want to find a place or go home. People with a little money can make a living by doing small business every day, at least they won't starve to death.
After liberation, there were less than ten eunuchs left, and the government decided to gather them all to support them. Everyone will spend a certain amount of money every month to enrich their lives, and those who still have literature will be arranged by the government. Sun was one of them. Their monthly salary was 35 yuan, which was a very high salary at that time. After the 1980s, there were only two eunuchs, Sun and Ma Deqing. The government also arranged for someone to take care of them. 1987 died, 1996, the last eunuch in China died, ending the eunuch industry for thousands of years and completely disappearing from history.
