The House of Fu (Russian: Фу; Chinese: 福) is a Manchurian Chinese royal family of princes and princesses, surviving through the female lines.
They are descended from the Chinese warlord Fu Zuoyi - who during the Russo-Chinese conflict, surrendered Beiping to pro-Russian Chinese forces, and later joined the pro-Russian Chinese White Army against the forces of the Kuomintang. Although Zuoyi had intentions to stay in China, however, the ban against pro-Russian forces led Fu Zuoyi to migrate to the Principality of Manchuria.
As a result, Fu Zuoyi converted to Orthodox Christianity, under the name "Mikhail", becoming Prince Mikhail Fu of Manchuria. He would later be rewarded with perks for siding with the Russians, including keeping his position as a General, now with the Russian Army, and being title a Prince of Manchuria, and given the position of Minister of Hydraulics.
His daughter, Princess "Olga" Dongju I Mikhailovna of Manchuria, became a military figure, by joining the Commissariat of the Russian Armed Forces. She would rise to the ranks of the Commissar-General of the Manchurian Commissariat. Princess Olga Dongju married ??? ????, and under Prince Mikhail Fu's order, the descendants will carry the House of Fu lineage through Princess Olga.
