Sun Yaoting (Traditional Chinese: ???, Simplified Chinese: ???, Hanyu Pinyin: Sun Yàotíng, Wade-Giles: Sun Yao-t'ing; 29 September 1902 – 17 December 1996) was the last surviving imperial eunuch of Chinese history.
He was castrated at the age of eight by his father with a single swoop of a razor, mere months before the last emperor Pu Yi was deposed.
He still became a palace eunuch and had become the attendant to the empress before the imperial family was expelled from the Forbidden City, following which he continued to serve in Manchukuo until the puppet state's collapse.The 1988 dramatic film Lai Shi, China's Last Eunuch is based on Sun Yaoting's life.
His biography The Last Eunuch of China was published in 1998 and translated to English in 2008.
