>"All day long, the Empress rolled around on the wooden floor, screaming and moaning like a mad woman, her eyes were wide with agony. She could only feed herself, but she could no longer defecate by herself." While experiencing the symptoms of opium withdrawal in Jilin, Wanrong was cared for in her most frail and vulnerable state by her sister-in-law, Saga Hiro. Wanrong, because she was the former empress, she was put on display in the jail as if she was in a zoo, and people came from miles around to watch her. During this time, Wanrong hallucinated being the empress again; in one incident, she spoke in a commanding tone to the prison guards, who laughed at her in response. In her delirium, she demanded more opium, asked for imaginary servants to bring her clothing, food and a bath. The general hatred for Puyi meant few had any sympathy for Wanrong, who was seen as another Japanese collaborator, and a guard told Lady Saga "this one won't last," making it a waste of time feeding her. Due to the Chinese Civil War, Wanrong and Saga were moved to a prison in Yanji.
