Jin Yuzhang (born May 1942) He is the eldest son of Jin Youzhi, a younger half-brother of Puyi, the Last Emperor of China. The last published succession rule for the Qing dynasty, adopted in 1937, provides for succession by male descendants, brothers, and then half-brothers. After the death of Pujie, Puyi's only full-brother, in 1994, Jin Youzhi became next in line to be the head of the Aisin-Gioro clan. Jin Yuzhang succeeded his father when the latter died in 2015.
