- She was the first empress of china and he son later died of small pox and his wife committed suicide by swallowing opium , it was believe that Cixi has involvement in this.
- She was a very powerful and determined women who squandered her wealth and kept control over the empership and locked up or killed anyone who came in her way. She was bad ass.
- Also the culture surrounding this time is fascinating I need to do more research into this and the rituals/ cultural habits of people at this time.
