Foreword
Figure | Mao Anying and Liu Siqi
Many years later, when Liu Siqi mentioned Mao Anying, he said fondly: "I got married with Anying because I fell in love with him, because I fell in love with his character, love Looking at his life and experience, two people are attracted to each other, getting closer and closer, walking into each other’s heart..."
Lost contact, worried
1950 Around the National Day, Mao Anying was preparing to enter the DPRK and was very busy. At this moment, his wife Liu Siqi suffered from appendicitis and was admitted to the hospital.
He had to visit his wife during his busy schedule, and he had to continue to work after a conversation.
The matter of Mao Anying going to North Korea, Li Kenong, Zhu De, and many others opposed it. It was also a difficult choice for Chairman Mao.
The consequences of the war are unpredictable. Chairman Mao has lost his relatives such as Yang Kaihui, Mao Zemin, Mao Zetan, and Mao Zejian during the war. For this reason, when Mao Anying proposed to fight in North Korea, he fell into contemplation.
After careful consideration, Chairman Mao quickly made a decision: agreed to Mao Anying's entry into the DPRK and entrusted it to Peng Dehuai.

Before entering the country, Mao Anying specially squeezed some time to bid farewell to his relatives and friends.
Mao Anying first rode an old bicycle to the Beijing Hospital. visited Liu Siqi and said goodbye to her. Along the way, Mao Anying was very entangled: his wife is still young, if she speaks too directly, will she not be able to bear it? Are you worried?
After meeting,Mao Anying first asked Liu Siqi about his physical condition, how did feel after the operation? Is the food delicious? Does the wound still hurt?
After Liu Siqi answered one by one, Mao Anying said that he was going on a business trip and it was estimated that it would take a long time to come back. Liu Siqi asked with concern where he was going.
But I was afraid that Liu Siqi would be worried, so naturally he didn't say anything about entering North Korea. He just mentioned the international situation of the US aggression against North Korea euphemistically.
At this time, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi had only been married for one year. During the period, Mao Anying returned to his hometown in Hunan. As a newly married person, Mao Anying seldom goes home, and he lacks the care and consideration for his lover.
But Mao Anying is too busy, he put most of his enthusiasm and energy on work. Liu Siqi naturally understands her husband, knows his identity and the nature of his work, and can naturally understand his busyness.

Now Mao Anying is leaving again, and Liu Siqi can hear from his words that this husband is going to complete a special mission again, I don’t know how long it will take, in my heart Naturally, I was very reluctant, and had a lot to say to her husband.
Just like that, they talked for a long time, for a long time, until the night was quiet...
Mao Anying suddenly remembered that the pen he was carrying had cracked and kept leaking, which was not very useful. Liu Siqi said to let him use his own.
That pen was still a gift from someone when they got married. Then, the door of the Beijing Hospital was about to be locked, and Mao Anying had to leave.
When parting, Mao Anying specially asked his wife Liu Siqi, : “Don’t worry if you don’t receive my letter! After I leave, you will go to Zhongnanhai to see your father every week.Don’t worry if you can’t receive the letter..."
Every sentence is reluctant, every sentence is full of tenderness and love!

Then, Mao Anying hurried to his mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu At home. There is another person in his heart who is most at ease, and that is his brother who has lived and died with him!
Thinking of his brother, Mao Anying's heart became heavy. In recent years, although they have suffered a lot, they are also He rarely separates. He is used to taking care of his younger brother in everything.
Mao Anying respects and trusts his mother-in-law very much. He did not hide her from Mao Anying and said that he was going to North Korea.
Mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu is Those who like this son-in-law in my heart understand that he is just asking him: "Take care and come back early.
In this way, Mao Anying and his mother-in-law talked for a long time. During the period, he repeatedly said that he hoped his mother-in-law could take more care of his younger brother.
When he left, Mao Anying thought that his piece was broken. I think it’s impossible to go to North Korea in this way. Without a decent watch, it’s very inconvenient to work. She said with some embarrassment to her mother-in-law, "Mom, my watch is not good enough. Can you lend me your automatic watch first? I'll return it to you when I go home, okay? "
Mao Anying mentioned that Zhang Wenqiu quickly found the watch and said affectionately: "Then I will give it to you. How can a son-in-law use the mother-in-law's watch and still have to pay it back? This is considered as a gift from me. Memorial.
Mao Anying took the watch and thanked her mother-in-law very much. After coming out of her mother-in-law’s house, Mao Anying went to Zhongnanhai to find his father.
At that time Chairman Mao was pacing in the study and thinking, like thinking about problems, and like Specially waiting for the son to come back. father and son love each other, so when we talk about it, it will naturally be very late and late...
but they never thought that this parting would become a farewell, and Mao Anying left. After returning to the motherland, he never came back...
Figure | Mao Anying Sacrifice Telegraph
On November 25, 1950, Mao Anying died in the Korean battlefield.
After Mao Anying's death, Peng Dehuai immediately sent a telegram to Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee. Taking into account the situation on the Korean battlefield and Chairman Mao's body, Zhou Enlai and others suppressed the news first.
After more than a month, Chairman Mao learned the news of Mao Anying's sacrifice.
Peng Dehuai guiltily mentioned Mao Anying when he reported to Chairman Mao on the war in North Korea in early 1951. Chairman Mao was silent for a long time, smoking one cigarette after another, and then looking at the already sluggish branches outside the window, he gently recited Yu Xin's "Dead Tree Fu":
Yiyi Hannan. Today I see it shakes down, sad and sad. The tree is like this, how can people be worthy of it!
Peng Dehuai listened in silence. He knew that Mao Anying's sacrifice was a great loss that could not be redeemed.

For a long time after that, Chairman Mao has been immersed in grief. He felt that his Kishi was not dead, and Kishiyo's voice and smile were still in sight. Maybe it was because I missed Mao Anying too much. Chairman Mao remembered the day when Mao Anying sent the Soviet Union back home:
The weather was very cold that day, and when Mao Anying saw him there, he was so excited that he almost slid down from the airplane gangway and stood on his own. Right now.
His Kishiying hugged himself with Soviet-style unrestrained enthusiasm,Constantly shouting: "Dad, daddy, I miss you so much... ·"
Hearing the sad news, grief-stricken
The great grief of losing his beloved son, Chairman Mao forcefully resisted. He poured all his energy and effort into national affairs, and used high-intensity work to dilute the grief.
However, the visit of his daughter-in-law almost once a week is a psychological torture for him.
Since Mao Anying went to North Korea, Liu Siqi has only received an internal letter without an address. Since then, Liu Siqi has never received a letter from Mao Anying.

As the time passed day by day, Liu Siqi's heart became more and more disturbed.
Liu Siqi had to take advantage of the opportunity to see Chairman Mao and ask him about Mao Anying's situation. : Dad, have you received any letter from Anying? Why did An Ying not write for a long time...
In order to let Liu Siqi study at ease, Chairman Mao always smiled and comforted her. During
, Chairman Mao also used his Hunan local accent many times to tell Liu Siqi about the deeds and experiences of revolutionary martyrs such as Yang Kaihui. But the young Liu Siqi could not fully realize that there would be sacrifices in the revolution.
Two years after Mao Anying's sacrifice, Chairman Mao also made up his mind to let Liu Siqi know this very unfortunate news.
On that day, Chairman Mao once again told Liu Siqi about the deeds of the martyrs . The more Liu Siqi heard it, the more wrong it became. She now knows that Mao Anying has gone to North Korea, but now that the "Korea Armistice Agreement" has been signed, why is there still no news of Anying? Could it be that he...
Liu Siqi is more and more afraid to think about it. Looking at her father, who was already in sixties, she had to start to comfort her.
after leaving this time,Liu Siqi was flustered and always felt sad, but she was afraid and unwilling to go in a bad direction...
Figure | Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
One day, Liu Siqi came again Zhongnanhai visited Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao specially invited Zhou Enlai over, intending to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
After learning of Mao Anying’s sacrifice, Liu Siqi was distraught and cried for a long time...
When Zhou Enlai’s hand touched Chairman Mao’s cold hand, he was shocked and hurriedly comforted: "Siqi, you have to mourn, your father's hands are cold."
Liu Siqi, who learned the bad news, was very sad. Decades later, when she recalled the incident, she said: "My cry, The entire Zhongnanhai was alarmed..."
Since the news of Mao Anying’s sacrifice was made public, Chairman Mao said to Liu Siqi: “From now on, you will be my eldest daughter.” Since then, Chairman Mao She loves Liu Siqi very much, and she often personally talks about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. In every correspondence, Chairman Mao always referred to Liu Siqi as "my eldest daughter, Siqier, baby..."
After graduating from high school, Liu Siqi, in order to further his studies and change the environment, Chairman Mao arranged for Liu Siqi to study in the Soviet Union.

On the eve of going abroad, Liu Siqi caught a cold, and Chairman Mao specially wrote to let her take a good rest and recover from illness, prepare for going abroad, and put what she wanted in "The Complete Works of Lenin" Give it to her. The content of the letter is as follows:
letter received. Suffering from a bad cold, good health and recuperation, recovery of physical strength, in order to facilitate going abroad. If it is better today, look here; otherwise, don't come. The most important thing is to fight for a breath and learn to become a country. good luck.
During his studies in the Soviet Union, Liu Siqi often wrote to Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao also wrote back many times. One of the reply letters is like this:
I have received all the letters, I am very happy. I hope you pay attention to your body, don't make you sick, and study hard. We are all good, don't think about it. Domestic socialism is on the rise, do you have any domestic newspapers there? You should find the newspaper, read some domestic news, and don't be too isolated from the domestic situation.
Due to poor health, Liu Siqi is constantly ill. Since she had been studying literature, she suddenly changed to science and also wanted to learn Russian, so Liu Siqi felt a lot of pressure to study.

In 1957, Liu Siqi returned to China and reported his study to Chairman Mao and asked to transfer to the country. In his busy schedule, Chairman Mao specifically replied:
It is good to transfer to another school. You can decide by yourself, apply to the organization, and get permission. If you are not allowed, go to the Soviet Union and change to liberal arts. It doesn't matter if the time is a little longer. No matter what, you have to decide on your own, don't apply in the name of a parent, pay attention to hope.
It can be seen from this letter that although Chairman Mao is principled, he also has feelings. At the same time, he also hopes that Liu Siqi can decide his own affairs and reflect a father's true love for his daughter.
A few days later, Chairman Mao wrote and told Liu Siqi to follow the advice of the organization and make up his mind to transfer to liberal arts in China, concentrate on studying hard, and serve the motherland in the future.

With the support of Chairman Mao, Liu Siqi returned to China to study at Peking University . During this process, Liu Siqi also discovered that he liked classical literature very much. For this reason, Chairman Mao made a special book list for his daughter-in-law, including "Historical Records" and " 资治通鉴"······ ·
As Liu Siqi gets older,Chairman Mao also carefully considered her marriage, but Liu Siqi only had Mao Anying in his heart.
Once, Chairman Mao specifically talked with Liu Siqi about her marriage. Chairman Mao mentioned:
Siqi, you are still young and have a long future. You can't just live your life like this. I understand that you have a deep affection for Kishiyoung, but you watch the door and keep the festival from the end, it is all feudal things, father does not approve, Kishiyoung will not approve...
for Chairman Mao’s persuasion , Liu Siqi cried very sadly. She loved Anying deeply and resolutely refused to marry. Seeing Liu Siqi's affection, Chairman Mao felt even more unbearable and firmed up the idea of letting her get married.

Later, Liu Siqi proposed to go to North Korea to visit Mao Anying's grave. For this request, Chairman Mao naturally supports and understands. However, he and Liu Siqi have three chapters of a contract:
1. It does not cost the country a penny, all expenses must be paid from his contribution fees; 2. Do not disturb the leaders of North Korea; 3. All activities will not be reported.
For Liu Siqi, it is enough to go to the tomb. Therefore, she completely agrees with these three items.
Because he missed Mao Anying too much, Liu Siqi came back from North Korea and fell ill. It was rain and snow when I was admitted, and it was already a hot summer when I was discharged.
After being discharged from the hospital, Liu Siqi went to see Chairman Mao. The first words Chairman Mao said was: "My baby, I shouldn't let you go out of North Korea. You lost half your life."
Then, Chairman Mao continued. Advise Liu Siqi not to be too sad:
Don’t be too sad, there will be sacrifices in the revolution...An Ying is a great international communist fighter. As his wife, you must study hard. , Work hard and win for him...
remarry and have children,Still miss
Under the continuous encouragement of Chairman Mao, Liu Siqi slowly accepted Mao Anying's death and walked out of the shadows. During this period, she completed the university courses and started to work.
By the autumn of 1961, 11 years have passed since Mao Anying's death. Liu Siqi has also stepped into the year of being a young girl. Chairman Mao is also getting more and more anxious. He can't bear to make Liu Siqi so lonely. Over a lifetime.
For this reason, he once again wrote to Liu Siqi to persuade her to marry:
Daughter: Hello! How can there be any reason to forget? After a long time interval, suspicion arises, isn't it? Pay attention to brain pain, it is the reason for too much study. And always get married, why do you always persuade you not to listen? Make up your mind to get married, it's time. Five hearts are uncertain, and they lose cleanly. It is a common problem for girls like you. Isn't it? Letter arrived. Reply to me in hope! say hello!
In this letter, Chairman Mao called Liu Siqi his daughter, full of care and love, which moved Liu Siqi very much and understood that he could no longer be willful.
Chairman Mao did not just write to persuade him, he also asked someone to introduce two friends to Liu Siqi, but Liu Siqi felt inappropriate and refused.

Later, someone recommended to Master Mao Yang Maozhi, who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union. Chairman Mao immediately asked people to find out, and the results made Chairman Mao very satisfied. He believed that Yang Maozhi's background, education, character, politics, and other aspects matched Liu Siqi.
Strike while the iron is hot, so Chairman Mao immediately started the second step, asked Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi to get to know each other first.
Actually, Liu Siqi had met Yang Maozhi when he was studying in the Soviet Union, but they were not familiar with them at the time, had not spoken, and never thought that they would become a partner in the future.
And Chairman Mao’s careful arrangement,It also moved Liu Siqi even more and strengthened her determination to start a new life. After getting along for a period of time, Liu Siqi was also moved by Yang Maozhi and agreed to get married, which was nothing but Chairman Mao's concern.
In February 1962, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi got married. On the day of ’s wedding, Chairman Mao copied his newly created " Bu Shouzi·Yongmei " as a gift, and also gave a gift of 300 yuan.
After their marriage, Yang Maozhi and Liu Siqi also went to Zhongnanhai to meet Chairman Mao. That day, Chairman Mao and Yang Maozhi talked a lot, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy. Chairman Mao was still very satisfied with the son-in-law.

The following year, Liu Siqi gave birth to the eldest son. She discussed with Yang Maozhi and named the eldest son "Xiaoying" to commemorate Mao Anying who died in North Korea.
Later, they gave birth to three more children, and their lives were very happy. Liu Siqi also changed from Chairman Mao's daughter-in-law to an ordinary person, and has been living an ordinary life.
Time flies, time flies. Although Liu Siqi is married to others and has children and grandchildren, her miss and remembrance of Mao Anying has not faded with the passage of time...
According to relevant information, Liu Siqi's life He went to North Korea to sweep the graves many times to express his grief for his deceased husband. Among them, Liu Siqi came to Mao Anying's sacrifice place as he wished in 2006, which can be regarded as fulfilling Chairman Mao's wish during his lifetime.

When Liu Siqi recalled the time when she learned about Mao Anying’s sacrifice, she fondly mentioned Chairman Mao’s concern for her: "After Kishiyo died, his father cared Everything about me, including my studies,My work, my health, and even my favorite books. Finally, 's father is like a mother who is concerned about my marriage... ”
