Henry Puyi was one of the weakest leaders of the 20th century. He had no will of his own and went whichever way the wind blew. He was such a loser he couldn't even get a girlfriend. They took him to a girls' high school where he picked one of the girls to be empress. He ended up not only serving the Japanese, but ended up sweeping the streets (the lowest possible occupation) after China's revolution. He didn't even have the sense to escape to a comfortable retirement like any tyrant.
The little I've read about him suggests that he genuinely repented and was quite happy to live the life of an ordinary citizens.
