   Priviledge Doesn't Make You A Good Guy - Puyi, China's Last Emperor

   Sometimes the crazy guy cleaning the street telling you he's a former Emperor isn't so crazy after all. This week join us as Sean takes Aaron and John through the story of the last Emperor of China, Puyi. Listen as he spends his formative years in a strange life, then his middle years in exile, then his final years being reprogrammed by the new regime and then in hiding. Also, please don't ever assume the crazy guy telling you he's a former Emperor is actually former Emperor. He's not.
