It's Peking in 1908. Traditional Chinese Soldiers on in horses ride through the gates of a castle. Little Pu Yi runs to his mother's arms as the leader of the men reads a message: he is to be taken away to an Imperial city. His mother gives him to a woman, he's put into a carriage crying, and he's taken away.
