had ten children in symbiosis before and after his life. During the war years, unfortunately, lost two prematurely, sacrificed one on the battlefield, and lost four. Among them, the one with the most hope of surviving in the world, Only the fifth son, Mao An, is red.
The pain of losing a child experienced by the chairman is beyond the imagination and tolerance of ordinary people. After the founding of , the domestic environment has stabilized. The chairman is anxious, and it is reasonable for the organization to send people all over the country to find his lost children. .
Two-year-old Mao Mao was fostered, and has not heard from him since
Mao Anhong is the second child born to Comrade He Zizhen and the chairman. He was born in Gospel Hospital in Changting City, Fujian Province in 1932 and was delivered by Fu Lianzhang. Because he is a boy, so When choosing the name, the chairman thought of the three sons left by and his ex-wife Yang Kaihui, namely Mao Anlong.
The Chairman and He Zizhen
When the child was born, Comrade He Zizhen happened to be suffering from malaria. In order not to affect the healthy growth of the child, the chairman found a nurse for the child. This nurse was originally from Jiangxi, and there was a nurse in Jiangxi. It is customary to refer to children as Mao Mao. Therefore, the chairman and Comrade He Zizhen also often call Mao Anhong Mao Mao.
Mao Anhong is the only child of the six children born by the chairman and Comrade He Zizhen who grew up by their side. Therefore, the chairman loves him very much. No matter where he goes, he must take him with him, for fear of being hurt in the slightest. Making a joke of Mao Mao, saying that there is only one Mao character in his name, and Mao Mao has two Mao characters, and he will definitely be more promising than himself in the future.
Mao Mao has a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when he smiles, he looks like Chairman Mao. Every time the chairman is done, he will take time to come to the hospital, take Mao Mao from the nurse, and then kiss and hug Mao Mao to sleep. , This great man who is used to acting resolutely and resolutely can't help but show tenderness and affection in his daily life, and the chairman's love for Mao Mao is self-evident.
Mao Mao's nurse and Mao Mao
However, the chairman shouldered a great responsibility, the situation at that time was not optimistic, Before and after Mao Mao's birth was the darkest stage of the chairman's political career, Sometimes the burden of family and country cannot be shouldered at the same time. If you give up, you will gain, but if you have gain, you will give up. The key is to see how you choose, but no matter what choice you make, the result will be a judgment.
In October 11934, under the guidance of Wang Ming's line, the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign failed. The Red Army of Workers and Peasants had to withdraw from the Jiangxi-Fujian base area and was forced to implement a major strategic shift. Two years old, because of his cuteness, he often acts as a pistachio for the chairman.
After the Red Army's Long March began, many soldiers had to leave their children behind for the sake of the revolution, because dragging their families along with their mouths would inevitably have an adverse impact on the revolution.
The Red Army's Long March
The chairman and Comrade He Zizhen also decided to keep the two-year-old Mao Mao. As for who to raise it, considering the convenience of taking back their children in the future, They decided to hand Mao Mao to his younger brother Mao Zetan, who insisted on guerrilla activities. Take care of her sister-in-law He Yi.
Mao Zetan
is his own flesh and blood after all. Under such a special background, facing the unpredictable parting of life and death, it is inevitable that there will be infinite sentimentality and reluctance. Before left, as a mother, He Zizhen borrowed it from a neighbor. Some cotton, cut off his gray cloth army coat, and accompanied by a kerosene lamp, sewed a small cotton jacket for Mao Zetan and handed it to Mao Zetan. It is precisely because of this sweater that He Zizhen later found Mao Mao.
Afterwards, the two left the Jiangxi and Fujian areas with the main force.
Soon after the Red Army left, Ruijin and the Central Soviet Area fell into the hands of the enemy. Mao Zetan, considering his special identity, was worried that the news would be leaked, which would be bad for Mao Mao. Ordered his own guards to send the child to the home of a fellow villager in Ruijin to hide.
Later, Mao Zetan died accidentally in a battle, and the guards were also shot and killed. The fellow took his family to hide in Tibet to avoid the disaster of the war. half a message.
Zhu Daolai gradually surfaced, and the fire of hope was rekindled.
On the eve of liberation, Mao Zetan's wife He Yi, in order to fulfill her husband's last wish, and also to satisfy the chairman and He Zizhen's longing for her son, went to Jiangxi to find Mao Mao alone. After searching for many days, she seemed to have heard the news.
Not long after the chairman entered Beijing, he lived in the Xiangshan area. One day, He Yi hurried to the Shuangqing Villa, the chairman's residence. She told the chairman that Mao Mao, who had been lost in Jiangxi, has now been found.
He Zizhen and He Yi
The chairman was very happy after hearing this, and hurriedly asked He Yi for more details, but when He Yi reported the child's specific situation and more details to the chairman, the chairman became frowning again, It turned out that the age, appearance and time of the child depicted by He Yi were very different from what the chairman thought. The chairman of
then said to He Yi:
"When Xiao Maomao was two years old, we were unable to ensure the safe growth of our children. During the war, the common people suffered a lot to take care of Xiao Maomao. We are sorry for bringing the child back, my suggestion is that you should stop looking for Mao Mao."
But He Yi was unwilling, so she returned to Jiangxi again, and came to the Jian area, He continued to search for Maomao, but unfortunately died in a car accident in the process of looking for the child. The chairman of was very sad and apologetic when he heard the news, and his desire to find the child continued to decrease. Later, he said:
"Don't look for it anymore, just let the child stay in the folk. At least he still has his own adoptive parents. Although I miss my child very much, I don't want more people to make sacrifices for this."
But nonetheless , As a mother, He Zizhen is still reluctant to give up the hope of finding a child. After the founding of New China, He Zizhen's brother He Minxue was also looking for Mao Mao through various channels when he was the vice governor of Fujian Province. Although he could hear some rumors, But no definite news has been obtained.
He Zizhen
In 1953, He Zizhen, who was recuperating in Shanghai, sent a letter to Shao Shiping, then governor of Jiangxi Province, in which he wrote:
She gave birth to a child named Mao Mao when she was in Ruijin, which was handed over to Mao Zetan and his wife when the Long March set off in 1934. Take care of her, her whereabouts are unknown, and now Si'er is anxious, please help to find it.
Upon seeing the letter from the Chairman's wife, Shao Shiping, Governor of Jiangxi Province, had no choice but to pay attention. He immediately sent Wang Jiazhen, Director of the Provincial Special Care Department, to form a special team to go all over Jiangxi to inquire about Mao Mao's news from the children left by the Red Army.
At first, Wang Jiazhen did not have any eyes, and Wang Jiazhen was not sure whether the child was still in Ruijin, but an accidental behavior gave Wang Jiazhen a clue. One column records information about Mao Mao, but there is only one sentence, namely "The leader of the Communist Party, Mao Zedong, gave birth to a son who stayed in Ruiyi." To the child is indeed in Ruijin.
After searching all over the place, Wang Jiazhen finally found out from an old man who was over 60 years old. In , a farmer named Zhu Shengtai had adopted a child left by a "big man" of the Red Army in 1934, and later named Zhu Daolai. The time basically matches the time entrusted by Mao Zetan, and his appearance is very similar to that of the chairman when he was young.
Wang Jiazhen came to Zhu Shengtai's house. Zhu Shengtai and his wife were in their 50s at the time. After listening to Wang Jiazhen's question, they all nodded in unison and answered. What happened was repeated to Wang Jiazhen.
In October 1934, the Red Army had left Ruijin one after another. As soon as the Red Army left, the local people realized that if the national army came over, they would start to suffer, so they were all ready to leave this place of right and wrong. .
The same is true for Zhu Shengtai and his wife, but just when they were about to run for their lives after eating, a cadre surnamed Zhu and two Red Army troops rushed in, looking very anxious, one Red Army was holding a child, the other The Red Army is carrying a burden.
The Red Army holding the child said to Zhu Shengtai: "My fellow, this is a child of the Red Army. The main force is gone, and we are going to fight guerrillas. Please take care of the two of you." The big thing happened so easily, and the two did not react. However, it was not easy to refuse at this time, so Zhu Shengtai and his wife had to promise the Red Army cadre to keep the child.
At that time, Zhu Shengtai already had two sons and two daughters in his family. The family was very poor and could only eat sweet potatoes for every meal, and the old mother was sick in bed. The sacrifices and hardships we can't imagine, how these years have come.
Zhu Shengtai and his wife renamed their child Zhu Daolai in order to hide their eyes and ears, which means a child picked up halfway. In February 2009, the National Army began a carpet search in Ruijin.
Zhu Shengtai and his wife were awakened by the constant barking of dogs at the entrance of the village in their deep sleep. After awakening, Zhu Shengtai saw sparks not far away, presumably the national army had arrived.
He grabbed a piece of clothing and draped it over his body at random, wrapped the child in a cotton jacket, turned out the back window, quickly left the village along the trail, and hid in a small dilapidated temple three kilometers away from the village entrance, waiting for the national army to leave. I dared to come out later, was in February at that time, although it was in the south, the weather was abnormally cold, and Zhu Sheng, who was wearing thin clothes, got a serious illness.
For a full 19 years, Zhu Shengtai and Huang Yueying led their five children through hardships, and they treated Zhu Daolai more than their own children, sending him to primary school and middle school...
After listening to Zhu Shengtai and his wife After reminiscing, Wang Jiazhen decided to make a medical appraisal for the child, but Zhu Shengtai and his wife said that the child had been picked up by a Nanjing woman two months ago, but also left a photo, after Wang Jiazhen saw the photo With a happy smile on his face, he reported the news to Shao Shiping, Governor of Jiangxi Province.
Zhu Daoping
The Jiangxi provincial government who got the news immediately relayed the news to the Central Organization Department, and the Central Organization Department sent the child's photo to He Zizhen. After reading the material, He Zizhen jumped up from the bed, overjoyed Zisheng has repeatedly asserted that this is the child who has been separated from himself.
He Zizhen recognized the child, but the situation suddenly changed again.
Judging from the photos and related materials, this child named Zhu Daolai is indeed very similar to Mao Anhong, but in order to obtain further verification, He Zizhen applied to the organization, hoping to invite Zhu Shengtai and his wife and Wang Jiazhen Take the children to Shanghai to meet each other.
But the child was in the hands of Ms. Nanjing. Wang Jiazhen knew through inquiries that the lady was called Zhu Yueqian. With Zhu Yueqian's understanding and support, Zhu Shengtai and his wife soon brought Zhu Daolai to Shanghai. After He Zizhen carefully examined Zhou Daolai's image, Tears flowed down his face, his voice trembling and he said: "This is my Mao Mao, this is my Mao Mao!"
Later, Zhu Shengtai and Huang Yueying took out the cotton-padded coat that He Zizhen had knitted for Mao Mao, which reminded He Zizhen of that time. The scene when Mao Mao was leaving, she hugged Zhu Daolai tightly and cried out, for fear that Mao Mao would leave her again. Under the circumstance that all the evidence could prove that this was her child, she just waited for the chairman to nod.
Everything is ready, but Dongfeng is the only one who owes it. Who knew that Ms. Zhu Yueqian, who was in Nanjing, quit at this time. She claimed that this child was her and Huobuqing's son. What is the real situation of
? At that time, the East China Bureau was also confused. Although He Zizhen was able to produce evidence, Zhu Yueqian also produced evidence, and both of them had special backgrounds.
The East China Bureau suddenly felt that the matter was a big one, and it was unavoidable that it was very difficult to deal with. As mothers, they all want to have the right to have a child now, and their feelings are very fiery. It will inevitably affect the happiness of a family.
Then the East China Bureau decided to conduct an in-depth investigation, and the director of the general office, Zhao Shangzhi, took the seat in person. After the shrewd director's careful investigation and visit, the truth about the matter gradually surfaced, and the East China Bureau did not know who the child belonged to. With some eyebrows, he still did not dare to draw conclusions easily.
Zhu Daolai
At that time, the child named Zhu Daolai had already been taken to Shanghai by He Zizhen. There was no other way. Zhao Shangzhi had to go to Shanghai to inquire about the nanny Huang Yueying and Zhu Shengtai. The chairman's child, although Zhao Shangzhi repeatedly mentioned the evidence provided by Zhu Yueqian, Huang Yueying still did not change his words.
Later, Zhao Shangzhi decided to start with the child, but how old was the child when he was sent out, and his memory was very vague. As for Zhao Shangzhi's constant questions, Zhu Daolai naturally wondered.
Zhao Shangzhi saw that this matter could not be resolved for a while, so he called Shao Shiping, Governor of Jiangxi Province, hoping that Shao Shiping would assist him in further investigation. When I went to the East China Bureau, almost all the supporting materials proved that Zhu Daolai was He Zizhen's child.
But Zhu Yueqian's proof materials are still valid, which makes Zhao Shangzhi difficult. The shrewd Zhao Shangzhi in the past became at a loss in the face of this matter. He had no choice but to report the matter to the Central Organization Department. Come out and fix this.
You need to know that asking the Organization Department of the Central Committee to stand up to solve the problem of a child's belonging will inevitably make a big fuss. However, the Organization Department of the Central Committee at that time did so, which also shows that the Organization Department of the Central Committee attached great importance to this matter at that time.
The Central Organization Department called He Zizhen and asked He Zizhen to bring Zhu Daolai and Huang Yueying to Beijing, and also asked Zhu Yueqian to come to Beijing to discuss together. After Zhu Daolai arrived in Beijing, many curious people gathered to watch, and they all wanted to see this child with their own eyes. I want to see if he looks like the chairman.
He Zizhen and Zhu Yueqian quarreled at the meeting because of their children, and the two refused to give in to each other. Even though He Zizhen's evidence and materials were richer and more convincing than Zhu Yueqian's, Zhu Yueqian's tough attitude showed that he was in this matter Never back down, things suddenly became complicated.
Chairman Mao
After listening to the Prime Minister's report, Chairman Mao decided to consider and solve this problem from the perspective of the overall situation, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw that his own flesh and blood would soon return to his side. But the chairman didn't want to hurt the weak hearts of the two mothers. What's more, because of this, Zhu Daolai had already delayed his homework for nearly two months. In order not to affect the growth of the child, he finally made a decision with tears in his eyes:
"No matter who it is. His children are all descendants of the revolution, hand him over to the people and to the organization."
According to Wu Jicheng, a security guard beside the chairman, recalled:
Wu Jicheng
"The chairman is such a person, he will not let his grief His emotions were seen by others. When he made the decision to hand Zhu Daolai over to the Organization Department, he was very calm, but at night, he would secretly hide in the room and cry. No one could understand what he had in his heart. How painful."
In the end, the Organization Department decided that neither the child would be allowed to return to Zhu Yueqian's side, nor would the child be allowed to return to Shanghai with He Zizhen, so the child would be left in Beijing, and the Deputy Director of the Organization Department, Shuai Meng Qi, would take care of Zhu Daolai's daily life (at that time Shuai Mengqi and Deng Yingchao took in many orphans of heroes and descendants of revolutionaries).
When Zhu Daolai and his adoptive mother Huang Yueying parted, they couldn't help crying. After all, a biological mother is not as good as an adoptive mother. Huang Yueying has taken care of Zhu Daolai for more than 20 years, and they are already deeply emotionally inseparable.
Zhu Daolai, who stayed in Beijing, was then directly arranged to study at the Second Affiliated Middle School of Beijing Normal University, where he also studied with the descendants of many revolutionaries, all of whom were the children of heroes.
Zhu Daolai also knew that his cultural foundation was weak, so he strived for the upper reaches and studied hard. In the final exam, his grades in almost every course were above 80 points, and he was finally admitted to a famous Beijing school. After graduating from the university, he was assigned to work in the national defense scientific research department. .
The cause of death is a mystery
Wang Jiazhen was one year younger than Zhu Daolai, and the two established a deep brotherhood. After Wang Jiazhen and Zhu Daolai separated in 1953, the two kept in touch through letters, about Zhu Daolai being assigned to the national defense Wang Jiazhen knew all the information before the work of the scientific research department, but after that, the correspondence between them became less and less, so that by 1966, there was no correspondence between the two. After
lost contact, Wang Jiazhen was worried that Zhu Daolai would have any accident. After all, it was quite special at the time, but no matter how Wang Jiazhen inquired about Zhu Daolai, the result was still blank. From to 1974, Wang Jiazhen suddenly thought that it was 70 years old. The many-year-old Zhu Shengtai and his wife followed to inquire about the news.
Huang Yueying said to Wang Jiazhen tragically and painfully:
"The Daolai is gone. He was beaten to death by the Red Guards in Nanjing. If I knew this, I should keep the Daolai by my side. Even if you follow me and Sheng Mo to the fields."
After finishing speaking, Huang Yueying burst into tears. Wang Jiazhen wanted to say something, but she was full of sadness and couldn't say anything. He didn't know how to comfort the 70-year-old old man.
But was Zhu Daolai really beaten to death? There is no definite evidence to prove it in , and some people say that Zhu Daolai died of illness, and there is no unified statement about the specific time.
Not long after Zhu Daolai's death, his former adoptive father, Zhu Shengtai, died of illness in 1973, and his adoptive mother, Huang Yueying, also died in 1980. The cause of Zhu Daolai's death in Nanjing is still unknown, and no one has gone to verify it. The mystery of the face gradually sank into the ocean of history.
