Who is Johnston? What is his relationship with Puyi?

He is a scot in England and has a teacher-student relationship with Puyi.

He is a foreign teacher of Puyi.

He is an authentic China hand and was invited to the Forbidden City as Pu Yi's English math geography teacher. Deeply respected by Puyi, their friendship is also very deep! In his mind, Johnston is his truest saint, and Puyi worships him very much. Although this foreign teacher was born abroad, she is familiar with everything in China, and she is also very careful about Puyi's teaching.

His educational concept of Puyi is very unique.

The appearance of Johnston surprised Puyi! He is also meticulous in educational guidance. Mainly teaching Puyi English, explaining western historical life and customs. As a special student like Puyi, Johnston showed great patience and tried his best to stimulate his interest in learning. Because of his patience, Puyi realized his painstaking efforts, and gradually the relationship between teachers and students began to be harmonious. He not only learned English, but also yearned for western culture. I learned to eat western food, put on a suit and slowly change myself with Johnston. It can be said that the relationship between them is better than that between teachers and students.

The topics between the two are also very similar.

As a westerner, he stepped into the Forbidden City and started a new life. It brought a different flavor to this ancient imperial city, and also made Puyi learn a lot of new literature. And the topics between them are more and more similar and extensive. Puyi learned about the present situation of China and the scenery around the world from Johnston, which made him yearn for life outside the Forbidden City. Because Johnston and Puyi study abroad and learn more advanced knowledge and culture, they have deep respect for Mr. Johnston! Unfortunately, later Puyi became a puppet of the Japanese, which made Johnston very sad. After that, the two never met again!

Puyi admired Johnston all his life, and it was precisely because of his teaching that Puyi had different insights and different opinions!
