Eventually, they were transferred to Changchun by the military under the command of communist He Changgong who discovered them. Li Yuquin, Puyi's concubine was later taken back by her family, but Wanrong had no place to settle down. Her father had been captured and her brother had deserted her. She had no choice but to move around with the army. According to Behr in his book The Last Emperor, Li Yuqin supposedly offered Wanrong a place to stay at her home, but her mother having no sympathy alerted communist party officials who had her group arrested. When the military left Changchun they took Wanrong with them.
