Does anyone know how tall Emperor Puyi was? I have dozens of books on Puyi and Manchukuo, but none of them mention his height.
He was taller than Emperor Showa.

That would be a little under 5' 6" tall.
Sixty-five kilos (143 pounds?) That seems hard to believe. He must have gained weight in prison. In photos in the first decades of his life Puyi was rail thin. I doubt he weight 115 pounds while emperor.

Re: Emperor Puyi's height
He looked rail thin in prison too. He was under 5' 6". He looks rail thin in all of his prison photos. Could that recorded weight have been a mistake? (Or even Communist propaganda?)
