In 1964, the Longyan Administrative Office of Fujian Province received a letter seeking relatives. It was such a seemingly unremarkable letter, but it alarmed a big man in the central government. What is so special about this letter that can attract the attention of the central government?
In those days, there was not a lot of information about looking for relatives, and there were many cases of separation of flesh and blood during the war. After the economy and life gradually stabilized, many people had the will to look for their relatives.
It turned out that the letter came from a middle-aged woman named Yang Yuehua. She introduced her identity information, age, blood type and place of birth in detail in the letter. But one of the names in the letter to find relatives caught the attention of Governor Wei Jinshui who came to Longyan for research. , the name is "Weng Qinghe". The letter reads:
"Thirty-four years ago, my uncle took me from Weng Qinghe to my current mother to raise me. My uncle said to my mother: I was born of an old Red Army, because at that time the white bandits The army was besieging the Red Army, and my parents entrusted me to Weng Qinghe to raise me for my safety, and gave him 20 silver dollars. But he was implicated because he was afraid that the Kuomintang spy would come to the door and implicated me, and gave me to my uncle. My mother never I didn't mention it, because I heard a lot of people talking about my background behind my back, so I confirmed the above facts from my mother and aunt."
Yang Yuehua
After repeated investigations by Wei Jinshui, he had a vague guess in his heart, is it This Yang Yuehua is Mao Jinhua, the eldest daughter of Chairman Mao who lives in the folk.
The news reached He Zizhen, she firmly believed that Yang Yuehua was her eldest daughter, and all the key information was correct! When the news of Yang Yuehua reached Chairman Mao, he excitedly asked:
"Where is she now? I want to see her right away."
Then, as Chairman Mao's eldest daughter, why did Yang Yuehua get separated from her parents, and there was no news for 35 years? Why did she suddenly appear now? All of this has to start from the time she was born. In 2008, the Fourth Red Army captured Longyan City for the second time, and at this time it was a critical period of the Red Army's counter-encirclement and suppression. Inside the Aihua Hospital in Longyan, Chairman Mao was both excited and worried, pacing back and forth in front of the door, at this time His wife is giving birth in the house, This is the first child of him and his second wife He Zizhen.
The cry of the baby finally let Chairman Mao's heart go, this is Chairman Mao's first daughter, he Holding the newborn daughter lovingly on his face, he felt joy and love in his heart.At this time, the newborn in his arms was as beautiful and lovely as a newly born flower. He named the child "Mao Jinhua".
Mao Zedong He Zizhen
Soon , he felt a burst of soreness in his heart. Now the Red Army is fighting all over the place, and they are in disarray. If this child follows them, he must have a lot of hardships to suffer. He Zizhen is a mother for the first time, and she loves her child very much. But because of her daughter After discussing with He Zizhen, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen decided to put the children in foster care in a common people's home, and entrust them to take care of them first. At that time, many Red Army soldiers did this after they had children, which was beneficial to the safety of the children. , but also to avoid the suffering of being displaced.
When the golden flower was not full moon, He Zizhen entrusted Deng Zihui to help her find a reliable family. He was a cobbler in the north of Longyan City, named Weng Qinghe.
In a On the moonlit night, He Zizhen came to Weng Qinghe's house holding the golden flower in the swaddling clothes.When she handed over the child to the Weng Qinghe couple, her tears could not be stopped, and it took a while to calm down. She repeatedly instructed Weng Qinghe to take good care of the children. When the revolutionary situation improved, they would definitely come to pick up the children. Weng Qinghe nodded again and again. After instructed, He Zizhen left 20 silver dollars, thanked Weng Qinghe, and reluctantly said goodbye to the child.
He Zizhen
The child, who is not yet full moon, seems to have a good heart with his mother, and suddenly begins to cry before his mother is about to leave. He Zizhen was reluctant to have the child in her heart, but she held back her tears and walked away without looking back. She was afraid that if she waited a little longer, she would not have the heart to leave the child behind. But for the victory of the revolution, she had to be separated from her newborn child.
But He Zizhen never thought that after this parting, he would miss seeing his daughter in the second half of his life, and all of this is due to the cobbler Weng Qinghe, who is now entrusted by him.
- Confirmed identity
In 1964, Yang Yuehua immediately attracted the attention of the organization after she sent the letter to find her relatives. Governor Wei Jinshui held a symposium on Yang Yuehua's identity, and found key witnesses at the time, Weng Qinghe, adoptive mother Qiu Lanzai and aunt Zheng Qiudi. Seeing how serious and solemn the scene was at that time, Weng Qinghe admitted that Yang Yuehua was the child entrusted by He Zizhen back then.
More than 30 years ago, Weng Qinghe sent the child out for fear of being implicated, and told him not to reveal that the child was not his own. And Yang Yuehua also turned around several times, and finally arrived at the home of Qiu Yingsong and his wife, and changed her name to Yang Yuehua. Fortunately for , despite her twists and turns, every home she goes to treats her as her own. It was only when Yang Yuehua was in her forties that she realized that she was not the biological child of Qiu Yingsong and his wife.
Knowing this news, Yang Yuehua desperately wanted to find her biological parents. She had lived for decades, but she didn't even know who her biological parents were, which made her feel a little lonely.
Yang Yuehua
At the symposium to confirm Yang Yuehua's identity, in front of provincial leader Wei Jinshui, Weng Qinghe and his wife Qiu Yingsong shared many details and confirmed Yang Yuehua's identity.
The original matter was to be reported to the Central Committee soon, but Weng Qinghe soon changed his tune and denied that Yang Yuehua was the eldest daughter of Chairman Mao. The matter reached a deadlock again. Yang Yuehua's relatives were sent to the central government, and the central government also replied that they would continue to verify. Wei Jinshui said to Yang Yuehua: "I hope you can continue to work with peace of mind, don't be impatient, your problem will always be implemented." drink until he dies. The key clues of were cut off like this, but maybe it was God's blessing, and soon she waited for another turning point.
At the end of 1971, Luo Wanchang, who was working in , Fujian province, returned to Longyan City. He lived very close to Yang Yuehua. After learning about this, he quietly wrote a letter to his old leader, He Min Xue . And this He Minxue was He Zizhen's brother. When he found out about Yang Yuehua, he immediately commissioned Luo Wanchang to investigate.
He Minxue
Luo Wanchang collected a lot of evidence locally, compiled them into a thick document, and sent it to He Minxue. He Minxue, who got the materials at , was very excited. He finally found the eldest daughter whose sister was worried about. For the safety of Yang Yuehua, he did not disclose the news immediately. When he went to Beijing for a meeting, he presented the materials to Premier Zhou and entrusted him to transfer them to Chairman Mao.
After reading the materials, Chairman Mao immediately made an appointment with He Minxue. He said to He Minxue, "I want to see her right away." He Minxue promised Chairman Mao that he would bring Yang Yuehua to Beijing to meet him immediately. When he was about to rush back to Fujian, Chairman Mao suddenly told him not to bring Yang Yuehua to Beijing for the time being. We have no way of knowing the reason. In the years before Chairman Mao's death, even Li Min only saw him three times because of Jiang Qing. Chairman Mao did not meet Yang Yuehua immediately, he must have his own thinking.
Mao Zedong and Li Min
However, Premier Zhou thought it would be better to clarify the matter, so he discussed with He Minxue to confirm Yang Yuehua's identity as soon as possible. They believed that the child's mother had to come to confirm the identity of the child, but because He Zizhen was in poor health, it was not convenient for the long-distance travel. So they were going to ask He Zizhen whether there were any special signs on Mao Jinhua, and then send someone to confirm. Later, under the personal arrangement of Chairman Mao, his third brother-in-law, Zhou Jianxia, went to Shanghai to find He Zizhen. He Zizhen shared two most crucial pieces of information: has a black mole on his right foot, and two on his knee. mole.
Zhou Jianxia went straight from Shanghai to Longyan Town, Fujian, and met Yang Yuehua under the arrangement of Luo Wanchang. The first time she saw Yang Yuehua, she felt that her eyebrows and eyes were a bit like Chairman Mao. After confirmation, she did indeed have the three moles He Zizhen mentioned. Yang Yuehua was very hospitable and stayed at Zhou Jianxia for a few days. In the past few days, Zhou Jianxia found that her demeanor and personality really resembled He Zizhen, so she was more convinced that she was Mao Jinhua .
Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai
- Many unsuccessful attempts to find a daughter
Chairman Mao and He Zizhen were very excited to hear the news that their daughter, who had not been heard from for decades, has finally been found. You may be wondering why Chairman Mao and He Zizhen did not go back to Longyan to find Weng Qinghe to find the whereabouts of the children, but waited for her to send out a search for her relatives before confirming their identities? In fact, it is not that Chairman Mao and He Zizhen have never found a daughter, but they had to give up after many unsuccessful attempts to find a daughter. All of this stemmed from a big lie told by the shoemaker Weng Qinghe.
In 1932, Chairman Mao led the East Route Army to fight back to Longyan City. This time, he wanted to take his daughter back to him. At this time, it has been exactly three years since I entrusted my daughter. Chairman Mao thought that he was about to meet his daughter, who had been separated for three years, and instantly felt that the three years of hard work in the military had been comforted.
However, due to the busy military affairs, He Zizhen was temporarily absent from the army. Chairman Mao entrusted his younger brother Mao Zemin to find Weng Qinghe to bring his daughter back. Weng Qinghe, who was mending shoes as usual, looked at Mao Zemin in the Red Army uniform and walked in front of him, his eyes were a little guilty and dodged. When Mao Zemin asked about the golden flower that he once fostered here, he stopped his work and said hesitantly: "I'm sorry, we didn't take good care of the child, she fell ill and died shortly after delivery."
Mao Zemin
After Mao Zemin returned, he told Chairman Mao exactly what Weng Qinghe said. Chairman Mao was silent for a long time when he heard the news, and then sighed: "How could this happen, what a lovely daughter, how could it just disappear."
Chairman Mao calmed down and dialed He Zizhen with difficulty. He said to He Zizhen, "Our daughter... died.He Zizhen was heartbroken, but when she calmed down, she didn't want to believe that her daughter had died. At that time, many families who were fostering children of the Red Army would lie about their children's death to avoid retribution from the Kuomintang. The woman's intuition told her , his daughter must still be alive. He Zizhen's intuition is right, Mao Jinhua did not die prematurely.
He Zizhen
After our party left, the Kuomintang occupied Longyan City, and the Kuomintang spy heard that Chairman Mao had a child who stayed here and went around Searching for the whereabouts of the child.At this time, the cobbler Weng Qinghe was very frightened.He gave the golden flower to Weng Gu in the south of Longyan City.After a few days, the Kuomintang found Weng Qinghe's house, but Weng Qinghe lied about the child The Kuomintang spy who could not find anything had to leave.
Later, Weng Gu transferred Mao Jinhua to a businessman Zhang Xianzhi. The couple treated their children very well. But the good times did not last long, due to the death of Zhang Xianzhi's wife , he had to give the child away again.This time, 5-year-old Mao Jinhua finally moved to Qiu Yingsong's home and changed her name to Qiu Yuehua. Qiu Yingsong's wife Qiu Lanzai liked her very much and loved her very much. In her 13-year-old At that time, Qiu Lanzai remarried, and her husband's surname was Yang, so she changed her name to Yang Yuehua.
1949, Yang Yuehua was 20 years old at this time, she loved the party very much, believed in socialism, and was determined to build a new China, so she entered the neighborhood committee work and started serves the people road.
After the founding of new China, He Zizhen proposed to Chairman Mao to look for Mao Jinhua, because she knew that she must still be alive and still in Longyan.Chairman Mao also had this hope in his heart, he I don't want to believe that such a healthy and lovely daughter has died.
Mao Zedong and He Zizhen
Two years later, Deng Zihui, who helped Chairman Mao find Weng Qinghe and his daughter, went back to Longyan to visit relatives. Chairman Mao found Deng Zihui in private and asked him to do him a favor: "Elder Deng, when you go back, please help me by the way. Long Yan inquired about Mao Jinhua's whereabouts, Zizhen said that she was still alive, and I think my mother's intuition was very accurate." Deng Zihui felt that he was also responsible for this matter, so he promised to go back and investigate this matter clearly. After he returned to Longyan, he immediately found Weng Qinghe. No matter how he persuaded, Weng Qinghe was the original statement and insisted that Mao Jinhua had died prematurely. Due to the long period of time, Deng Zihui's investigation was fruitless, and he had to go back and tell Chairman Mao the truth.
Chairman Mao sighed: "What a pity, what a pity, what a lovely daughter." After these two investigations, Chairman Mao almost believed that Mao Jinhua had passed away, and he was very sad. In the end, he sent Weng Qinghe 300 yuan to thank him for taking care of Mao Jinhua before. This matter has come to an end for the time being.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, by chance, this matter surfaced again. This coincidence is Yang Yuehua's letter of seeking relatives.
Yang Yuehua
- I regret not seeing my parents
After confirming Yang Yuehua's identity, his uncle He Minxue wanted his younger sister to meet with his mother who had been separated for more than 40 years, so he immediately arranged for Yang Yuehua to go to Shanghai to meet his mother recognize. Yang Yuehua was very excited, and after going around for decades, she finally wanted to meet her biological mother, whom she had never met before.
At that time, He Zizhen also really wanted to meet the daughter she had never met, but for various reasons, Yang Yuehua waited in Shanghai for a whole month and did not see her mother, not even Zhou Jianxia, who arranged to receive her in Shanghai. Yang Yuehua didn't know what was going on, but she refused to leave without seeing her mother. At this moment, He Minxue, who learned about the situation, asked someone to go to Shanghai to tell her: Since you can't wait, come back quickly and come to Fuzhou to find your uncle.
Yang Yuehua just returned to Fujian and found her uncle in Fuzhou. When my uncle saw this niece, he choked up with excitement:
"Moonflower, we had a hard time looking for you. Your mother misses you so much for so many years. She looked for you many times. I was specially transferred to Fujian to work, just In order to find you."
Yang Yuehua, who met her uncle, was very happy, but she still regretted not seeing her mother.
He Zizhen
In 1974, He Zizhen dragged her sick body to Fuzhou. The reason for her visit was to recuperate, but her real purpose was to see her daughter, but she still could not see her for various reasons. In May of the same year, Yang Yuehua and her family went to Beijing once, but because of Jiang Qing, they did not see Chairman Mao.Yang Yuehua did not expect that this was the closest time she was to her father.
Two years later, Chairman Mao died in Beijing, and the whole country was mourned. Of course, Yang Yuehua was the saddest one. Her father, whom she had always respected but never met, passed away like this. This is their lifetime regret.
In 1977, He Zizhen went to Fujian again to recuperate and planned to go directly to Longyan City, but was blocked. In her later years, He Zizhen was in bad health. After several times of travel, her health became worse and worse. She asked her daughter Li Min to recognize Yang Yuehua.
So, Li Min and her husband Kong Linghua came to Longyan in the name of inspection by the Cultural Bureau. At this time, Yang Yuehua was working as the secretary of the party branch at the film station, and the two met at the briefing. When Yang Yuehua was reporting her work, Li Min kept staring at Yang Yuehua the whole time, but she never mustered up the courage to recognize her, and the two didn't talk too much. In fact, Yang Yuehua recognized her sister at first sight, because she had seen her picture at her uncle's place, but she didn't expect that the meeting would be so sudden.
Later, her uncle He Min learned to ask her, "Why don't you meet my sister?" Yang Yuehua replied, "I am older than her, so why should I call her if she didn't call me first." Li Min recalled later: "I really want to recognize her as a sister, but I can't decide this matter." She also has her own difficulties, but it is really regrettable that the sisters do not recognize each other this time.
He Zizhen and Li Min
Later, Wen Fushan, secretary of the prefectural party committee, said to He Minxue:
"Last time Li Min came to Longyan, we didn't let her (Yang Yuehua) know, and Li Min did not disclose his identity. At that time, Li Min called the central government, The central government believed that it would not be too late to officially recognize the relatives when there was an opportunity, so it was not made public at that time.
In 1964, the Longyan Administrative Office of Fujian Province received a letter seeking relatives. It was such a seemingly unremarkable letter, but it alarmed a big man in the central government. What is so special about this letter that can attract the attention of the central government?
In those days, there was not a lot of information about looking for relatives, and there were many cases of separation of flesh and blood during the war. After the economy and life gradually stabilized, many people had the will to look for their relatives.
It turned out that the letter came from a middle-aged woman named Yang Yuehua. She introduced her identity information, age, blood type and place of birth in detail in the letter. But one of the names in the letter to find relatives caught the attention of Governor Wei Jinshui who came to Longyan for research. , the name is "Weng Qinghe". The letter reads:
"Thirty-four years ago, my uncle took me from Weng Qinghe to my current mother to raise me. My uncle said to my mother: I was born of an old Red Army, because at that time the white bandits The army was besieging the Red Army, and my parents entrusted me to Weng Qinghe to raise me for my safety, and gave him 20 silver dollars. But he was implicated because he was afraid that the Kuomintang spy would come to the door and implicated me, and gave me to my uncle. My mother never I didn't mention it, because I heard a lot of people talking about my background behind my back, so I confirmed the above facts from my mother and aunt."
Yang Yuehua
After repeated investigations by Wei Jinshui, he had a vague guess in his heart, is it This Yang Yuehua is Mao Jinhua, the eldest daughter of Chairman Mao who lives in the folk.
The news reached He Zizhen, she firmly believed that Yang Yuehua was her eldest daughter, and all the key information was correct! When the news of Yang Yuehua reached Chairman Mao, he excitedly asked:
"Where is she now? I want to see her right away."
Then, as Chairman Mao's eldest daughter,Why did Yang Yuehua get separated from her parents, and there was no news for 35 years? Why did it suddenly appear now? It all started when she was born.
- Farewell in troubled times
In 1929, the Fourth Red Army captured Longyan City for the second time, at a critical period of the Red Army's counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. In Longyan's Aihua Hospital, Chairman Mao was both excited and worried, and paced back and forth in front of the door. At this time, his wife was giving birth in the house. This is the first child of him and his second wife, He Zizhen.
A baby's cry finally let Chairman Mao's heart go. This is Chairman Mao's first daughter. He hugged his newborn daughter lovingly, with joy and love in his heart. At this time, the newborn in his arms is as beautiful and lovely as a newly born flower. He named the child "Mao Jinhua".
Mao Zedong and He Zizhen
Soon, a burst of sourness appeared in his heart, and now the Red Army is fighting everywhere and is in disarray. If this child follows them, there must be a lot of hardship to suffer. He Zizhen is a mother for the first time, and she loves her child very much. But for the safety of his daughter, after discussing with He Zizhen, Chairman Mao decided to put the child in foster care in a common people's home and entrust them to take care of him first. At that time, many soldiers of the Red Army did this after they had children, which was not only conducive to the safety of the children, but also prevented them from suffering from displacement.
Before the full moon of Mao Jinhua, He Zizhen entrusted Deng Zihui to help her find a reliable family. He was a cobbler in the north of Longyan City, named Weng Qinghe.
On a moonlit night, He Zizhen came to Weng Qinghe's house with the golden flower in her swaddling clothes. When she handed over the child to the Weng Qinghe couple, her tears could not be stopped, and it took a while to calm down. She repeatedly asked Weng Qinghe,We must take good care of the children. When the revolutionary situation is better, they will definitely come to pick up the children. Weng Qinghe nodded again and again. After instructed, He Zizhen left 20 silver dollars, thanked Weng Qinghe, and reluctantly said goodbye to the child.
He Zizhen
The child, who is not yet full moon, seems to have a good heart with his mother, and suddenly begins to cry before his mother is about to leave. He Zizhen was reluctant to have the child in her heart, but she held back her tears and walked away without looking back. She was afraid that if she waited a little longer, she would not have the heart to leave the child behind. But for the victory of the revolution, she had to be separated from her newborn child.
But He Zizhen never thought that after this parting, he would miss seeing his daughter in the second half of his life, and all of this is due to the cobbler Weng Qinghe, who is now entrusted by him.

Knowing this news, Yang Yuehua is eager to find her biological parents. She has lived for decades, and she doesn't even know who her biological parents are.It made her feel a little lonely.

At the end of 1971, Luo Wanchang, who was working in , Fujian province, returned to Longyan City. He lived very close to Yang Yuehua.

- Many unsuccessful attempts to find a daughter
Chairman Mao and He Zizhen were very excited to hear the news that their daughter, who had not been heard from for decades, has finally been found. You may be wondering why Chairman Mao and He Zizhen did not go back to Longyan to find Weng Qinghe for so many years to find the whereabouts of the children,Instead, wait for her to send out a letter to find her relatives before confirming her identity? In fact, it is not that Chairman Mao and He Zizhen have never found a daughter, but they had to give up after many unsuccessful attempts to find a daughter.

After Mao Zemin returned, he told Chairman Mao exactly what Weng Qinghe said. Chairman Mao was silent for a long time when he heard the news, and then sighed: "How could this happen, what a lovely daughter, how could it just disappear."
Chairman Mao calmed down and dialed He Zizhen with difficulty. He said to He Zizhen, "Our daughter... died." He Zizhen was heartbroken, but when she calmed down, she didn't want to believe that her daughter died. At that time, many families who were fostering children of the Red Army would falsely claim that their children had died, in order to avoid retribution from the Kuomintang. The woman's intuition tells her that her daughter must still be alive. He Zizhen's intuition was right.Mao Jinhua really did not die.
He Zizhen
At that time, after our party left, the Kuomintang occupied Longyan City. The Kuomintang agents heard that Chairman Mao had a child who stayed here and searched for the child's whereabouts. At this time, the cobbler Weng Qinghe was very frightened. He gave the golden flower to Weng Gu in the south of Longyan City. A few days later, the Kuomintang found Weng Qinghe's house, but Weng Qinghe lied that the child had died, and the Kuomintang spy who found nothing had to leave.
Later, Weng Gu transferred Mao Jinhua to a businessman Zhang Xianzhi, and the couple treat their children very well. But the good times did not last long. Due to the death of Zhang Xianzhi's wife, he had to give away the child again. This time, 5-year-old Mao Jinhua finally moved to Qiu Yingsong's home and changed her name to Qiu Yuehua . Qiu Yingsong's wife Qiu Lanzai liked her very much and loved her very much. When she was 13 years old, Qiu Lanzai remarried, and her husband's surname was Yang, so she changed her name to Yang Yuehua.
In 1949, Yang Yuehua was 20 years old. She loved the party very much, believed in socialism, and was determined to build a new China, so she joined the neighborhood committee and started the road of serving the people.
After the founding of New China, He Zizhen proposed to Chairman Mao to find Mao Jinhua, because she knew that she must still be alive and still in Longyan. Chairman Mao also had this hope in his heart, and he didn't want to believe that such a healthy and lovely daughter had died.
Mao Zedong and He Zizhen
951, Xie Juezai led the central condolences group to the old revolutionary area in western Fujian to offer condolences. Chairman Mao secretly gave him a task, that is to find Mao Jinhua. He instructed Xie Juezai: "This matter should be carried out in secret, don't embarrass Weng Qinghe, just pick up Mao Jinhua." But things backfired,Weng Qinghe never admitted that Mao Jinhua was still alive. There may be two main reasons for : one is that he was afraid that Chairman Mao would hold him accountable, and blamed him for sending the child out because he was timid. Second, he also wanted to seek some benefits from it. Later, he wrote to Chairman Mao many times to ask for money, and Chairman Mao also gave it. Weng Qinghe also repeatedly asked his son and wife not to disclose any news. When someone asked, they said that they died prematurely.
Two years later, Deng Zihui, who helped Chairman Mao find Weng Qinghe and his daughter, went back to Longyan to visit relatives. Chairman Mao found Deng Zihui in private and asked him to do him a favor: "Elder Deng, when you go back, please help me by the way. Long Yan inquired about Mao Jinhua's whereabouts, Zizhen said that she was still alive, and I think my mother's intuition was very accurate." Deng Zihui felt that he was also responsible for this matter, so he promised to go back and investigate this matter clearly. After he returned to Longyan, he immediately found Weng Qinghe. No matter how he persuaded, Weng Qinghe was the original statement and insisted that Mao Jinhua had died prematurely. Due to the long period of time, Deng Zihui's investigation was fruitless, and he had to go back and tell Chairman Mao the truth.
Chairman Mao sighed: "What a pity, what a pity, what a lovely daughter." After these two investigations, Chairman Mao almost believed that Mao Jinhua had passed away, and he was very sad. In the end, he sent Weng Qinghe 300 yuan to thank him for taking care of Mao Jinhua before. This matter has come to an end for the time being.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, by chance, this matter surfaced again. This coincidence is Yang Yuehua's letter of seeking relatives.
Yang Yuehua
- I regret not seeing my parents
After confirming Yang Yuehua's identity, my uncle He Minxue wanted to let his sister meet with her own flesh and blood who had been separated for more than 40 years.So he immediately arranged for Yang Yuehua to go to Shanghai to meet his mother. Yang Yuehua was very excited, and after going around for decades, she finally wanted to meet her biological mother, whom she had never met before.
At that time, He Zizhen also really wanted to meet the daughter she had never met, but for various reasons, Yang Yuehua waited in Shanghai for a whole month and did not see her mother, not even Zhou Jianxia, who arranged to receive her in Shanghai. Yang Yuehua didn't know what was going on, but she refused to leave without seeing her mother. At this moment, He Minxue, who learned about the situation, asked someone to go to Shanghai to tell her: Since you can't wait, come back quickly and come to Fuzhou to find your uncle.
Yang Yuehua just returned to Fujian and found her uncle in Fuzhou. When my uncle saw this niece, he choked up with excitement:
"Moonflower, we had a hard time looking for you. Your mother misses you so much for so many years. She looked for you many times. I was specially transferred to Fujian to work, just In order to find you."
Yang Yuehua, who met her uncle, was very happy, but she still regretted not seeing her mother.
He Zizhen
In 1974, He Zizhen dragged her sick body to Fuzhou. The reason for her visit was to recuperate, but her real purpose was to see her daughter, but she still could not see her for various reasons. In May of the same year, Yang Yuehua and her family went to Beijing once, but because of Jiang Qing, they did not see Chairman Mao. Yang Yuehua did not expect that this was the closest time she was to her father.
Two years later, Chairman Mao died in Beijing, and the whole country was mourned. Of course, Yang Yuehua was the saddest one. Her father, whom she had always respected but never met, passed away like this. This is their lifetime regret.
In 1977, He Zizhen went to Fujian again to recuperate and planned to go directly to Longyan City, but was blocked. In his later years, He Zizhen was in poor health.After several times of exhaustion, her health became worse and worse. She asked her daughter Li Min to meet Yang Yuehua.
So, Li Min and her husband Kong Linghua came to Longyan in the name of inspection by the Cultural Bureau. At this time, Yang Yuehua was working as the secretary of the party branch at the film station, and the two met at the briefing. When Yang Yuehua was reporting her work, Li Min kept staring at Yang Yuehua the whole time, but she never mustered up the courage to recognize her, and the two didn't talk too much. In fact, Yang Yuehua recognized her sister at first sight, because she had seen her picture at her uncle's place, but she didn't expect that the meeting would be so sudden.
Later, her uncle He Min learned to ask her, "Why don't you meet my sister?" Yang Yuehua replied, "I am older than her, so why should I call her if she didn't call me first." Li Min recalled later: "I really want to recognize her as a sister, but I can't decide this matter." She also has her own difficulties, but it is really regrettable that the sisters do not recognize each other this time.
He Zizhen and Li Min
Later, Wen Fushan, secretary of the prefectural party committee, said to He Minxue:
"Last time Li Min came to Longyan, we didn't let her (Yang Yuehua) know, and Li Min did not disclose his identity. At that time, Li Min called the central government, The central government believed that it would not be too late to officially recognize relatives after waiting for the opportunity, so it was not made public at that time."
In 1979, He Minxue finally couldn't hold back. He felt aggrieved for his niece. So, on the 50th anniversary of Gutian Conference 50, he introduced to Fu Lianzhang and others at hotel : "She is Yang Yuehua, the eldest daughter of my sister He Zizhen." Everyone present at was very surprised, although everyone had heard it before. over this,But it was only confirmed from He Minxue's mouth at this time.
Someone said to Yang Yuehua: "Now you can go to Shanghai to see your mother." Yang Yuehua said, "I only went after my uncle arranged for me to go there. I can't make a rash decision myself." He Minxue said sadly:
"Yes Yes, yes, wait for your mother's condition to stabilize. She is in very bad health now and can't be stimulated. Our He family has long recognized you as a descendant! The last time I brought you back, it was mainly for your safety. I believe there will be a chance to meet soon."
Yang Yuehua
After waiting like this for several years, Yang Yuehua and He Zizhen never waited for the day to meet. In 1984, He Zizhen died of illness in Shanghai, and she was unable to see Yang Yuehua in the end, which became one of her heart problems in her later years. Before her death, she said to her daughter Li Min, "You must go see your sister and greet her for her mother. I really did not fulfill my duty as a mother."
Yang Yuehua read the news of her mother's death in the newspaper, She burst into tears. She didn't have the opportunity to accompany her mother in her last moments as a daughter, and felt very sorry and guilty. She didn't know that in 1973, when her mother He Zizhen heard the news of her, she was so excited and disturbed. When she saw the letter from Long Yan, she could fall asleep only by taking sleeping pills at night, and she wanted to go to her daughter immediately day and night. But at that time, someone around her said to her, "You only have half the right to recognize your daughter." This sentence weighed on her heart like a stone, which hit her mentally hard, and her diabetes was once beyond her control.
After He Zizhen passed away, Yang Yuehua didn't have the chance to send her mother's last journey. Uncle He Minxue comforted Yang Yuehua:
"Your mother died, memorial service reported your name, but many people did not inform, my daughter nor,I hope you can understand this. "
He Zizhen's ashes were later sent to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing. As a revolutionary predecessor of the proletariat in China, he will forever be remembered by future generations. She is in good health, but her mother's death has hit her hard. She has dedicated her life to the party and the people, and has never used her identity for welfare. Before she confirms her identity, she relies on herself In 1951, when she was only 22 years old, she became a member of the public security committee and women director of the Longyan East Street Neighborhood Committee. Because of her active work and outstanding ability, she joined the Communist Party of China in 1958 and has been working in Longyan. Worked until retirement.
Yang Yuehua has a total of six children, three boys and three girls. They all stayed in Longyan City to work later. They were all ordinary workers or engaged in grass-roots services. Yang Yuehua did not seek any personal gain for them because of her identity. She was separated from her biological parents, but perhaps it was fate to compensate her, her six children were all by her side, and the family lived very happily and happily.
After her identity was made public by her uncle, the organization once informed her: " At that time, the organization will arrange for you to see your mother and call a car to take you there. "Yang Yuehua said: "As long as the organization agrees, there is no need to send it, I will go by myself!" "
She never let the party and the government worry about her actions, nor did she spend a penny on the country. This is very similar to Chairman Mao, he never used any state resources for his personal affairs, and never did anything special. Although I have never met this daughter, Chairman Mao must be proud of this daughter!
Yang Yuehua
He Minxue has always cherished this niece,Two years before his death, he went to Longyan to visit Yang Yuehua. Yang Yuehua warmly prepared a lot of local products for him to bring back.
After He Minxue passed away, someone told Aunt Yang Yuehua that she was not in good health, and she immediately took the train to Fuzhou to visit. My aunt said to Yang Yuehua, "You are the happiest family in the He family, with all three men and three women by your side!" Yang Yuehua, who was with her family, felt very lucky, and her aunt also said to her, "Yuehua is really like He Zizhen, speaking, acting, The temper is exactly the same." Many people feel sorry for Yang Yuehua, because she was not introduced to the public by her parents, but as an ordinary person, isn't it another kind of happiness? Maybe just because they didn't want her to lose the happiness of ordinary people, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen didn't insist on meeting her!
In 1993, Mao Zedong came to Longyan and interviewed Yang Yuehua in the large-scale TV special of CCTV . The weather-beaten Yang Yuehua is now a 64-year-old old man. She said to the visitor: "Thank you to the party, the organization and the revolutionary seniors for realizing my life experience and letting me know who my parents are."
Many people suggested that Yang Yuehua reform She returned to her original name, Mao Jinhua, but Yang Yuehua said:
"I'm so old, what should I change my name?" As a daughter to cherish and miss them, that's enough.
This article would like to commemorate the great leader Chairman Mao and her eldest daughter Yang Yuehua!
"This sentence weighed on her heart like a stone, and it had a great impact on her mental state, and her diabetes was once uncontrollable.

Yang Yuehua
He Minxue has always cherished this niece. Two years before his death, he went to Longyan to visit Yang Yuehua.Yang Yuehua was very enthusiastic I prepared a lot of souvenirs for him to take back.
After He Minxue passed away, someone told Aunt Yang Yuehua that she was not in good health, so she immediately took the train to Fuzhou to visit. Auntie said to Yang Yuehua, "The He family is the happiest one, with three boys and three children. The women are all around! "Yang Yuehua, who was with her family, felt very lucky, and her aunt also said to her: "Yuehua really looks like He Zizhen. She speaks, acts, and has the same temperament." " Many people feel sorry for Yang Yuehua, because she was not introduced to the public by her parents, but as an ordinary person, isn't that another kind of happiness? Maybe it is because they don't want her to lose the happiness of ordinary people, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen did not insist on dating her. Let's meet!
In 1993, Mao Zedong, a large-scale TV feature film of CCTV , came to Longyan and interviewed Yang Yuehua. The weather-beaten Yang Yuehua was already a 64-year-old old man.

Many people suggested that Yang Yuehua should change her name back to Mao Jinhua, but Yang Yuehua said:
"I'm so old, so what should I change my name?""
For Yang Yuehua, the important thing is not the name, but knowing who his biological parents are, and being able to cherish and miss them as a daughter, that's enough.
