On March 23, 2007, the whole country was crying. Mao Anqing, the son of Mao Zedong, the great leader of our country, passed away on this day. After Mao Anqing passed away, many netizens started to complain about themselves, saying why they didn't know him in advance?
Speaking of our great leader Chairman Mao, we are all very familiar with it. But we know very little about his son. Very strange, but it is this strangeness that can bring out Mao Anqing's simple and low-key character; and his silent dedication to the motherland.
Mao Anqing's funeral
After learning the news of Mao Anqing's death, an old Red Army familiar with him said emotionally: "Anqing's life is a life of revolution, a life of serving the people, a life of dedication He did a lot of things that other people didn’t know. He was buried in his work, he was a hero, and he was really a good person!" The more I understand, the more I admire, and the more I understand, the more emotional. Sometimes I hate why I didn't get to know him earlier. His old friends and old friends wrote poems to miss him, and many unknown people also came to his mourning hall spontaneously. Fortunately, many people posted on the Internet to commemorate him, praising him "worthy of being the son of Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui" quietly. , Walk silently.
Some netizens left a message like this: "The sudden departure of your father thirty years ago made us very sad, and your departure thirty years later also made us heartache. Thank you for your continued silent contribution. You are a A mortal, and what a great son at the same time.
Other people commented: Mao Anying's "ordinary" life, even without his brother Mao Anying on the Korean battlefield to sacrifice his life for the North Korean people and sacrifice himself for the country, there are not some people in politics. People in the world talked about Fang Qiu's practice, but you also left a deep impression on the society!"
Mao Anqing's old photos
Mao Anqing was born in an extraordinary age. Mao Anqing was born in Changsha City, Hunan Province, the second son of Mao Zedong and his first wife Yang Kaihui. After his mother Yang Kaihui was arrested and killed, Mao Anying and Mao Anying were released on bail and later fostered in Dong Jian’s home.However, due to various reasons, the financial aid was interrupted, and Mao Anying and his brother Mao Anying were living on the streets, but even so, life must continue and cannot be given up. The two of had to sell newspapers, pick up trash, pick up cigarette butts, and help push rickshaws to make ends meet. What's even sadder is that when selling newspapers, customers directly give counterfeit money when they see that they are children. Mao Anqing thought about his experience of selling newspapers all day, and finally determined that it was the counterfeit money given to him by two foreign sailors who bought his newspaper. However, people are no longer found, and money cannot be returned. In order to vent the anger and hatred in his heart, he ran home, took a piece of chalk, ran to the road, and crookedly wrote four large characters "Down with foreigners" on a telegraph pole, but he hadn't written it yet. How long did it take a foreigner to see what he had just done, and the foreigner was also very angry. When I saw this little bastard wrote "Down with the foreigner," in Chinese, isn't this just cursing himself? The patrol arrested Mao Anqing without saying a word, and gave him a slap in the face. Before Mao Anqing had time to escape, it was just that one, and Mao Anqing was beaten on the spot with bleeding in his nose and a splitting headache. Then he lay directly on the ground, motionless.
After the patrol vomited fragrantly and left, Mao Anqing, who was lying on the ground unconscious, was still struggling. He didn't dare to help when he saw it on the road. After a while, Mao Anying finally found him, but at this time Mao Anying was already confused. When Mao Anying saw that something was wrong, he immediately carried his younger brother home. Due to the failure to receive timely treatment, Mao Anqing's hearing loss in both ears has since been severely reduced, and his central nervous system and brain have been severely damaged by this slap.
In 1936, the Shanghai underground party finally found Mao Anying and Mao Anying after several turns. After the two wandering children saw their relatives, they could not hide all their grievances. They confided in their grievances and cried sadly. Finally, after the introduction of Zhang Xueliang , they decided to take advantage of General Li Du's visit to Western Europe, and by the way, they took Mao Anying, Mao Anying and Dong Shouqi, the son of Dong Jianwu, to go abroad to avoid disaster. Such an opportunity is very difficult.
Yang Kaihui and Mao brothers
Dong Jianwu and Zhang Xueliang have a deep friendship.In the first half of 1936, when Dong Jianwu was going to Xi'an on business, Zhang Xueliang hosted a banquet at home to receive him. During this period, Zhang Xueliang asked if there was any personal request, as long as I could do it, I would do it. Seeing Zhang Xueliang’s sincere eyes, Dong Jianwu asked: “I have three children here, one is my son, and the other two are revolutionary children. I’m here this time hoping to send them to the Soviet Union to study. After they finish their studies, they will continue to work for the motherland." Zhang Xueliang promised to follow suit.
Not long after Dong Jianwu returned to Shanghai, Zhang Xueliang then came to Shanghai to visit his old subordinate Li Du. Li Du had always had an idea to go to the Soviet Union, and then recruit the displaced people in the Far East and the old ministry he had worked with before, and return to the Northeast to continue the anti-Japanese war. Zhang Xueliang directly explained the two purposes of his visit. One is to try to help him go abroad as soon as possible, and the other is to ask him to take his three children to the Soviet Union. Go to the Soviet education. Li Du was also a very straightforward person, and he happily agreed to Zhang Xueliang's request. To express his sincerity, Zhang Xueliang also said: "I will pay for the expenses of the three children of Mao Anying, Mao Anying and Dong Shouqi, the son of Dong Jianwu." Then a cheque for 100,000 was given to Dong Jianwu, hoping that he would pay for it. Send the three children to Li Du's home as quickly as possible, and quickly prepare for going abroad.
After studying by the Shanghai Underground Party, it was decided to send Yang Chengfang and Li Du to go abroad together, responsible for the safety of the three children along the way. In 1936, Li Du completed all the procedures for going abroad and took his three "sons" on a French cruise ship to investigate the Soviet Union. On the ship, they were not idle either. They told Li Du about the days when life was worse than death, and the days when they were tortured. There is also a mother who endures the pain all over her body and still teaches herself to love the motherland. After Li Du learned about the child's situation, he was both sad and compassionate. He also heard that when they were in Shanghai, they couldn't have enough to eat, and sometimes they would go to the trash can to pick up food, and the clothes were too small inside and out, which was simply unsightly. It may also be because of being a father. After hearing about their experience, he took the two children to eat western food, let the children eat full, and met the world by the way. Mao Anying and Mao Anying didn't know how to use knives and forks at all. They hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the sandwich with their hands. Just vegetable salad on the table,The two didn't even touch each other from start to finish. Li Du asked them why they didn’t eat it. Mao Anqing blurted out: “What’s the salad, lettuce and grass, the village of Ala is used to feed pigs and sheep.” After saying that, Li Du laughed. He thought, the child After so many experiences, it is also rare to retain a naivete.
After tossing, Mao Anying and Mao Anying were sent to the Soviet consulate in France, where they met our party cadres who came to Paris to pick them up in person. When they parted from Li Du in Paris, France, they reluctantly said goodbye. Li Du handed them to Kang Sheng, and before leaving, he told them to study hard when they got there, defeat the Japanese in the future, and contribute their strength to the country! In the second year, "At the beginning of 1937, the brothers Mao Anying and Mao Anying came to Moscow and entered the Moninore Second International Children's Home in the western suburbs. In fact, in this children's home are the children of revolutionary martyrs, or The children who are participating in the revolutionary struggle and fighting on the front line have the help of the third international organization, so that parents can put their children in it with peace of mind.
In order to better integrate into the environment and disguise themselves, Mao Anyinghe Mao Anying changed their names. One is Sergei and the other is Alexander. Mao Anying was 14 years old and Mao Anying was 12. Don’t look at them so young, they had developed the habit of concealing their identities at the time. They just arrived in the children’s home. At that time, they were very cautious with everyone, including in front of the dean, they would not say that they were the sons of Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui. Once the teacher talked to Mao Anying about Mao Zedong, and Mao Anying even called his name directly, as if he had no relationship with Mao Zedong. Any relationship is the same. The dean is also very distressed to see this situation. In order to prevent them from being so restrained, the dean decided to tell them the truth. In fact, everyone knows their parents and there is no need to be cautious and careful here. Just be yourself. That’s why the brothers are willing to talk about their past to others.
Soon, the brothers and father Mao Zedong finally got in touch after many years of communication. They were also very happy, he He kept writing to his father time and time again to express his thoughts, and to report on his life after parting and his study. Mao Zedong was very excited and happy every time he received a letter. He wrote back to them in his free time.Cheer up for the brothers, and sent books on philosophy and literature many times, so that the brothers and their classmates will not forget to learn the cultural knowledge of the Chinese culture of the motherland in a foreign country.
Of course, when I was young, I experienced the severe beatings of the society. The two brothers vowed to study hard and return to the motherland, and never experience the nightmare of my childhood again. Mao Anqing obeyed his father's teachings everywhere in his life, and inherited the family tradition. He knows that diligence and frugality are traditional Chinese virtues, so he has always been frugal in life, no different from the life of ordinary people. They also study Russian very seriously, and finish their daily homework on time. Mao Anqing likes to paint very much and will paint whenever he is free.
In 1947, Mao Anqing returned to China, introduced by Li Fuchun and Cai Chang to join the Communist Party of China, and then continued his work in the pilot land reform in Keshan County, Heilongjiang.
However, due to the encounter and persecution in Shanghai, the damage to Mao Anqing's head in Shanghai cannot be eradicated.
Mao Zedong's health doctor Wang Hebin recalled that once, when he was about to leave after a health visit to Mao Zedong, Mao Zedong stopped him, took out a large envelope filled with it, and handed it to him.
Wang Hebin then took the envelope back to the dormitory and took it out to take a look. At that time, he was shocked. It turned out to be a letter written by Mao Anqing to Mao Zedong. In the letter, Mao Anqing described in detail that there was a demon in his mind, and he had to entangle and fight endlessly with the devil in his mind every day. It is said that the child is the meat dropped by the mother, but for the father, what is it? Seeing that my child has to fight painfully with illness every day, I feel guilty and apologetic in my heart. He believes that he has not fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of a father. In order to make up for this apology, Mao Zedong decided to send Mao Anqing to continue to the Soviet Union for treatment. Mao Zedong said, "I didn't want to trouble the Soviet government for the child's illness", but there is really no other way.
In 1959, Mao Anqing took a rest in Dalian Nanshan Hotel after returning from treatment in the Soviet Union. However, at that time, Mao Anying's brother Mao Anying had already died heroically on the Korean battlefield. Dedicated his precious life to the country.
Let's talk about the story of Mao Anqing and his wife Shao Hua. More or less festive. They get along very smoothly.
There are many versions of the story about Mao Anqing and Shao Hua, but the most important thing to be true is what Comrade Zhang Shibao said. After all, he was a party at the time. Zhang Shibao, the former director of the Security Department of the Dalian Public Security Bureau, recalled it as a storyteller telling us the past. Mao Zedong's mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu deliberately wanted to reconnect with Mao Zedong. So I took advantage of Mao Anying's wife Liu Songlin's younger sister Shao Hua to take the opportunity to take her to Dalian to recuperate from the illness. At that time, the atmosphere was a bit festive and "more or less like a blind date."

But the ending is also a bit "surprising". At that time, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua hit it off and they chatted very speculatively. The municipal party committee leader was accompanying Zhang Wenqiu's mother and daughter chatting. After Mao Anqing entered the house, he directly recognized Aunt Zhang Wenqiu. Zhang Wenqiu directly introduced his daughter Shao Hua to Mao Anqing. In her body, you can see a slow vigor. Seeing Shao Hua stretch out his hand, Mao Anqing immediately reacted, "Ah, you are Sister Shao Hua, hello, hello!" Mao Anqing held Shao Hua's hand tightly, and didn't know how to release it until he felt it. Only let go of the pain.
After that, the two Hongyan frequently passed on books and talked about various topics. After Mao Zedong learned of this, he also wrote a letter to Mao Anqing: "I am very happy to hear that your illness has improved a lot. But you still have to listen to the opinions of the doctor and other comrades who have helped you, and take a good rest. In order to heal better. Don’t be impatient and control your temper. Your sister-in-law Siqi and her sister Shaohua come to see you. They are also very concerned about your condition. You should receive them well. I heard You have exchanged many letters with Shaohua, don’t you? Do you mean to be friends?
Later, according to the wishes of the elderly of both parties, Shao Hua, who is studying at Peking University, handled temporary transfers to Liaoning Normal University for interim study The procedures for studying here are relatively relaxed, and Shao Hua can spend more time with Mao Anqing. In this way, the elders helped them.
On the eve of May 1st Labor Day in 1960, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua’s wedding was held. Held in Dalian.

The wedding is very simple and warm. There are a few plates of wedding candy and peanuts on each table, although there is no romance of a western wedding. But it does not lose the style of our Chinese wedding. Although the guests were only given a glass of red wine, everyone's heart was full of sweet drunkenness. Because they have witnessed the most beautiful love in the world.
After marriage, their lives are also very harmonious. Mao Anqing is a person who likes to be quiet. And the personality is very introverted, not like sports at all. His biggest hobby is reading, especially Russian. He deals with Russian almost all the time. Mao Anqing studied in the Soviet Union for 11 years, so that in his later life he couldn't change his Russian habits, even the way of expression, and sometimes he couldn't find suitable Chinese vocabulary to express his meaning correctly in Mandarin. Just use Russian to express what you mean. Over time, Shao Hua was also affected by Mao Anqing, and the couple would say a few words in Russian from time to time. In the end, Shao Hua used to call Mao Anqing's Russian name—Guo Liang.
In 1970, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua gave birth to a son, and Mao Zedong named it "Mao Xinyu. Seven years later, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua came to Luda and brought their only son, who was just 7 years old. Mao Xinyu.
Mao Xinyu and his parents
Zhang Shibao can see in their actions that Mao Anqing and his wife love this child very much. Later, he heard from the staff that he was actually giving birth to Mao Xinyu. , The situation is very critical. First of all, the first child, the second time the fetus is big, and the delivery is very difficult. It directly caused Shao Hua’s dystocia, which is very dangerous.
After that, the doctor reported the situation to Chairman Mao and wanted to ask about it. His opinion means that if there are special circumstances, which one should be kept, but Chairman Mao categorically said: "We need both.
Then Shao Hua said to Zhang Shibao with a smile on his face: "Dad especially likes this little grandson. Even the child's name Mao Xinyu and his little name Mao were given by his father. "This should be what we often call the next-generation relatives.
Mao Anqing's old age is also relatively happy.In addition to fighting the illness, there is also the company of the child, as well as the company of his favorite Russian.
However, birth, old age, sickness and death are also the natural laws of the world. On the day Mao Anqing passed away, Liu Siqi, Li Min and Li Ne came to see him off. Shao Hua was so sad that he cried into tears. This is the strong blood relationship between brothers and sisters. There is also Shao Hua's affection for Anqing.
Someone once said: After being a great man, he did not show up in high-profile and glorious appearances, and did not pass anything to people. He just quietly walked through his life course according to the natural laws of life, and revealed himself as a human being. "The integrity" is perfectly reflected in Mao Anqing's body.
