[[Empress]] [[Dowager]] '''Cixi''' (November 29, 1835 to November 15, 1908) was a regent of the [[Qing dynasty]]. She was a consort of the [[Xianfeng]] emperor, mother of the [[Tongzhi]] emperor, and adoptive mother of the [[Guangxu]] emperor. She had kept Guangxu under house after his abortive attempt to bring about reform during the '[[Hundred Days]]' of 1898. After foreign armies occupied China in 1900 to suppress the Boxer Rebellion, Cixi turned to [[Yuan Shikai]], who implemented sweeping reforms similar to those proposed in 1898. The Imperial Examination were abolished in 1905. A National Assembly, with half of the members elected, met in 1910. Guangxu was poisoned, presumably at Cixi's command, the day before she died in 1908.
