Answer :

In this passage, the author describes his childhood as being depressing. He then overcomes this adversity, however, through a variety of exercises. 

P'u Yi's childhood was depressing (A).

At only 2 years and 10 months of age P'u Yi was taken away from his parents to be the emperor of China. The only person allowed to go with him was his wet nurse, but she was sent away when P'u Yi was eight years old because he was too old to breastfeed. He wasn't allowed to see his real mom until he was thirteen. During his childhood, he was never allowed to act like a child and was always treated like an emperor.
