Forbidden City
- 1973 ----- color ----- 41 min ----- 16mm
- The imperial citadel in the center of Peking is called the Ku Kung. From 1421 to 1911 the Ku Kung was the home of the Emperors of China. The Forbidden City's priceless treasures were once only for the eyes of the emperors, their families and court retinues. Today it is an unmatched museum of Chinese history and culture open to all the Chinese people. A walk through the Forbidden City recalls a part of the history of China when the Mings and Manchus ruled in isolated splendor while the majority of the Chinese people lived in hopeless poverty.
