Foreword
Chairman Mao is great, he has paid a lot for the Chinese revolution. As we all know, 6 of Chairman Mao’s 10 children were born to He Zizhen, and only Li Min grew up successfully under the care of Chairman Mao. The other five died or left the people. You can imagine how much Chairman Mao felt in his heart. pain.
Chairman Mao after the founding of the People's Republic of China
Among the many children of Chairman Mao, there is a missing child named Mao Anhong, who disappeared on the eve of the Long March. After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao sent someone to search and find the whereabouts of the child, but for various reasons, the father and son have not been able to recognize each other.
Mao Zetan died, the child's whereabouts unknown
During the revolutionary period, the Kuomintang reactionaries were frantic. They blocked the Chinese Communist Party in the Jinggangshan base with advanced weapons and equipment. The Red Army soldiers had a very difficult life in Jinggangshan.
In early 1928, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen held a simple wedding in Jinggangshan. They invited several close friends and had a very simple meal. Although life is very difficult, the feelings between each other are very deep.
Chairman Mao and He Zizhen
In 1932, He Zizhen gave birth to her second child with Chairman Mao at the Gospel Hospital in Changting, Fujian. This child is Mao Anhong.
When Mao Anhong was born, it was the most difficult time for Chairman Mao. The arrival of the child gave Chairman Mao great comfort, allowing Chairman Mao to put all his worries behind.
After Chairman Mao heard the news of the birth of the child, the frustration on his face disappeared. He immediately rushed back to Changting from Ningdu . He eagerly wanted to see his newborn child and get close to the child.
Chairman Mao looked at the child and was very happy. He named his child "Anhong", hoping that when he grows up, he can contribute to China's revolutionary cause and become a useful person to the country and the people.

Chairman Mao will come to the hospital to visit his child whenever he has free time. As long as Chairman Mao sees him, his exhaustion will disappear. This child Brought great joy to Chairman Mao in the war years.
Because He Zizhen is not used to the climate in Fujian, she got malaria shortly after she gave birth. The doctor was afraid of affecting the child's health, so He Zizhen was not allowed to breastfeed the child again. For the sake of his children, Chairman Mao first found a nanny.
When nursing a child, the nanny often said: "Maomao is good, and Maomao is the best." Over time, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen also called this child "Maomao", which became the child's nickname .
Chairman Mao and He Zizhen
Chairman Mao often carried his children on his shoulders. He happily said: "He must be more promising than me in the future, and I have a gross character. He is better than me." One more hair."
In 1933, the Kuomintang reactionaries carried out the fifth "encirclement and suppression" against the Central Red Army. Due to command errors, the Red Army was forced to make a strategic shift.
During the Long March, the Central Red Army not only had to face the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang reactionaries, but also faced various harsh natural environments. At that time Mao Mao was only two years old. For the safety of his children, Chairman Mao decided to entrust the children to Mao Zetan and He Yi to take care of them.
Chiang Kai-shek announced the plan of encirclement and suppression
As soon as the Long March began, the Kuomintang army surrounded Ruijin. The situation was very critical, and Mao Zetan temporarily fostered him in a fellow villager's home for the sake of his children's safety.
The Kuomintang had many people, and the Ruijin Central Soviet Area was soon fully occupied by the Kuomintang reactionaries.Mao Zetan died heroically in a guerrilla battle with the enemy. Since then, Mao Anhong has lost his whereabouts. No one knows where he has been or who has been entrusted to him.
Chairman Mao and He Zizhen learned about Mao Anhong's disappearance and sent people to search for them, but they did not find the whereabouts of the children.

The path to search after the victory of the revolution
In October 1949, the People's Republic of China was declared established. The country's environment was relatively stable, and the task of looking for children was also on the agenda. In November of the same year, He Yi, who served as the Minister of Organization of the Ji'an Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China, accompanied by comrade-in-arms Zeng Biyi , took a bus from Shaoshan and other places northward to find traces of Mao Anhong in southern Jiangxi and northern Guangdong.
On the evening of November 21, He Yi ignored Zeng Biyi's persuasion and insisted on going to the next destination. He Yi died on the spot when the car accidentally overturned while passing a wooden bridge.
After the news of He Yi's wreck came, Chairman Mao was very self-blame. He felt that his brother-in-law was killed because of his eagerness to find children. He did not want to sacrifice more comrades because of finding his own children. He made a decision: "Don't find it, let him stay in the folk."
He Zizhen and He Yi (right)
In 1953, Shao Shiping, then governor of Jiangxi Province, received a letter of help from He Zizhen. He Zizhen hoped that Shao Shiping could help find his long-lost child Mao Anhong in Jiangxi.
Two months later, Shao Shiping received a letter from An Ziwen from the Organization Department of the Central Committee. The letter said: "In October 1934, on the eve of the Long March of the Central Red Army, some Red Army soldiers placed their children in the homes of local people. , The central government commissioned the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee to find the children left by the soldiers of the Red Army, paying special attention to looking for Mao Mao, Chairman Mao's child.
After receiving these two letters, Shao Shiping attached great importance to the search. He personally asked the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs to take charge of this matter, and set up a special task group to find Mao Anhong to be responsible for Mao Anhong's search.

Shao Shiping handed over the task of finding Mao Anhong to Wang Jiazhen, the cadre of the Special Care Division. When Wang Jiazhen learned that he was looking for Chairman Mao’s child, he was very excited. He secretly made up his mind. To find Mao Anhong, so that Chairman Mao can reunite with his father and son.
Wang Jiazhen made a guarantee to the organization: "No matter how difficult it is, even if you search every village in Ruijin and ask everyone, you must find Maomao. If Mao Mao is not alive, I will also clarify the situation and give Chairman Mao and Sister He an explanation.
I found Zhu Daolai, but is he really Maomao?
Wang Jiazhen came to Ruijin with a military satchel brought back from the Korean battlefield. He first came to the local government and found the county magistrate and deputy. After the county head and county party leaders learned of Wang Jiazhen’s intentions, they expressed their willingness to fully support Wang Jiazhen’s work on the spot.

A cadre forum. At the forum, Wang Jiazhen asked about the situation in detail. The veteran cadres remembered a lot of past events, but no one knew about Mao Mao’s whereabouts.
There was a Red Army veteran who preached: "At that time" The Red Army left the children secretly. After the Kuomintang reactionaries occupied Ruijin, they strangled many times in the local area. Many of the children of the head of the Red Army were killed. "
After speaking, Wang Jiazhen realized the difficulty of this search.He decided to change his mind and investigate among the masses.

Wang Jiazhen traveled through seventy or eighty villages in a month and a half and did not find any information related to the child. At that time, Ruijin had more than 2,000 kilometers of land and had a population of more than 300,000 people. They fell into despair at one time.
Until one day, Wang Jiazhen met two farmers who had just returned from work at the entrance of a village, and Wang Jiazhen chatted with them.
After they learned of Wang Jiazhen's intentions, one of the farmers said: "There is a farmer named Zhu Shengtai in Zhufang Village. He has adopted a child from the Red Army. It is said that the child's biological father is still a Red Army cadre."
After Wang Jiazhen heard the news, she was very excited. In any case, this is a very important clue. Even the children of other fighters are very valuable.
Chairman Mao is at work
The next morning, Wang Jiazhen came to Zhufang Village. After some inquiries, he found Zhu Shengtai's residence. Wang Jiazhen asked straightaway: "Did you adopt a child from the Red Army in 1934?"
Zhu Shengtai nodded and said, "We adopted a child, and we named him Zhu Daolai.
Zhu Shengtai I recalled in detail what happened. It turned out that at the end of 1934, a Red Army soldier came to his home with a child less than three years old, hoping that he would be able to raise the child. Zhu Shengtai respected the Red Army soldiers very much, so he agreed Their request. In order to ensure the safety of the child, the child was named "Zhu Daolai", which means the child who came to Zhu's halfway.
Chairman Mao is working
For the adopted child, Zhu's point He didn’t treat them badly, and treated him as his own child. He ate and dressed the best, and even sold the property to the child and finished junior high school.
Because of the long time, Mao Zetan has already sacrificed and is temporarily unable to do so. Determine whether the child is Maomao. But judging from the time of sending the child and the child’s age,It is very consistent with Maomao.
Wang Jiazhen heard Zhu Shengtai talk about Zhu Daolai's past. He couldn't wait to see the child, so he asked Zhu Shengtai and his wife to call the child out, but Wang Jiazhen became stunned. Zhu Shengtai replied, "The child was led by someone. I went to Nanjing."
Zhu Daolai photo
It turned out that some time ago, a comrade named Zhu Yueqian came here from Nanjing. She showed Zhu Shengtai and his wife that Zhu Daolai was the child of herself and the martyr comrade Huo Buqing , and hoped that they could transfer the child to her.
Zhu Yueqian's husband, Huo Buqing, once served as the Minister of Propaganda in the Political Department of the Red Army School, and died in a heroic battle with the enemy in 1933. Before that, he entrusted the child to a local fellow to raise him.
Zhu Yueqian believed that this was his own child as soon as he saw Zhu Daolai. Zhu Shengtai also didn't know who the child's biological parents were. He only knew that the child was a descendant of a Red Army soldier.
Huo Buqing, a revolutionary martyr
Zhu Yueqian asked Zhu Shengtai and his wife to hand over the child to them. The couple hoped that the child could receive a better education, and finally agreed to Zhu Yueqian's request.
Chairman Mao: This child is very similar to Mao Zetan when he was young.
When he learned that Zhu Daolai was taken away by others, Wang Jiazhen thought he had found it wrong, but after all, it is related to Chairman Mao's child, so we need to confirm it. He expressed that he wanted to take a look at the child's photo. Zhu Shengtai's wife Huang Yueying took out the photo that Zhu Yueqian sent back some time ago, and Wang Jiazhen carefully looked at Zhu Daolai in the photo.
The young man in the photo is tall and has a broad forehead, very similar to Chairman Mao when he was young.
Huo Buqing martyr statue
Then Huang Yueying took out the letter from Zhu Daolai sent back from Nanjing. The letter wrote: "I can't wait to return home now to reunite with you.
Originally from Huo Buqing's death, Zhu Yueqian remarried a Kuomintang pilot. After Zhu Daolai came to his new home, his brothers and sisters always rejected him as returning from the countryside and being rustic.
And Wang Jiazhen thought it was possible. For another reason, he thought it might be Zhu Yueqian who discovered that this was not his own child, so he would not treat Zhu Daolai well.
The whole thing suddenly became simple and blurred, Wang Jiazhen did not dare to make a decision without authorization, he reported the incident to him. The middle organization department also handed over a piece of material to He Zizhen.
He Zizhen photo
He Zizhen was very happy to get the materials, she said in her reply: "This is my fur. He applied to the organization, hoping that Zhu Daolai could come to Shanghai with his adoptive mother and let him see the children with his own eyes.
The Central Organization Department sent a call back and forth to allow Wang Jiazhen to take Huang Yueying and Zhu Dao to Shanghai , Met with He Zizhen.
One day in the middle of June 1953, He Zizhen met Zhu Daolai in her apartment. When she saw Zhu Daolai for the first time, her eyes were full of tears. She touched Zhu Daolai unconsciously and trembled. Said: "It's Maomao, this is my Maomao.
Huang Yueying took out a small cotton gown from her bag. She told He Zizhen that this was the one worn by the child when she adopted Zhu Dao.

He Zizhen The cotton robe in front of her was very excited. She believed that this dress was sewn and put on Mao Mao by herself. At this moment, He Zizhen is even more sure that he is Mao Mao who has been lost for many years.
In order to further confirm the identity of the child, He Zizhen took the child to the hospital for physical examination,It was found that the blood types of the two of them were the same. At this time, it was basically determined that Zhu Daolai was the child of Chairman Mao and He Zizhen.
This matter soon spread. Chen Yi, , Jao Shushi and other generals came to visit Zhu Daolai and congratulate Zizhen on finding her own child.
Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai
Zhou Enlai found Chairman Mao with a photo of Zhu Daolai after learning about it. After seeing the photo, Chairman Mao did not give a positive result. He just said: "This The child is very similar to Mao Zetan when he was young."
Chairman Mao: If you are not sure, give him to the people
After He Zizhen and Zhu Daolai recognized each other, the Central Organization Department sent a telegram requesting Wang Jiazhen and Huang Yueying. The three of Zhu Daolai went to Beijing for final confirmation.
He Zizhen wrote a letter to her little daughter Jiaojiao who is far away in Beijing: "Jiaojiao, I found your brother, which is the Maomao I told you before. After arriving in Beijing, you must have more Play with your brother. If you visit your dad, you and both of you should go together to make your dad happy."
Before leaving, He Zizhen told Zhu Daolai: "My child, after you arrive in Beijing, you must To reply to your mother, and to see your father, you must say hello to your father.”
Chairman Mao and his daughter Li Min
Just a few days after they arrived in Beijing, Li Min came to visit the guest house. Zhu Daolai, Li Min took them to visit famous scenic spots such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in the next period of time.
At that time, Mao Anhong was found but it was a big event, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other revolutionaries of the older generation came to visit.They looked at Zhu Daolai in front of them, and they all believed that he was Chairman Mao's son Mao Anhong, and everyone was happy for Chairman Mao to find his long-lost child.
In order to thank Huang Yueying for so many years of dedication, the Central Organization Department specially sent 500 yuan as a condolence money and some daily necessities, and asked her what she wants from the organization.
Huang Yueying just said silently: "No." Huang Yueying has worked so hard to raise Zhu Daolai for more than 20 years, but has not made any request. We are very moved by such selfless dedication.
Chairman Mao is reading
When things are moving in a good direction, they have changed again. After Zhu Yueqian learned about Beijing, she hurried to Beijing. She burst into tears in the Central Organization Department, declaring that Zhu Daolai was her own child, and she was not allowed to be snatched away by others, otherwise she would be short-sighted.
This matter is of great importance. At that time, there was no DNA detection technology for blood relationship, and everyone could only speculate based on the existing evidence. Both mothers have paid too much for the Chinese revolution, and this matter must be handled with care.
Although Chairman Mao missed his child very much, he must take into account the feelings of the widow of the martyr. He decided not to recognize the child. He immediately made a statement: "Don't worry about this matter, no matter who he is. The children are all descendants of the revolution. If you don’t know it, give him to the people."
Shuai Mengqi, deputy head of the Central Organization Department
Chairman Mao made the final decision. He did not return to Zhu Yueqian's side, nor did he return to He Zizhen's side, but handed over to Shuai Mengqi, the deputy head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, to take care of Zhu Daolai's daily life. It is worth noting that Chairman Mao has never met Zhu Daolai.
Under the care of the party organization, Zhu Daolai came to Tsinghua High School to study. At the beginning, Zhu Daolai couldn't keep up with the progress of learning. Under his hard work, his grades quickly surpassed most of his classmates.Ranked among the best in the class.
Tsinghua University After graduating from Tsinghua University, Zhu Daolai was assigned to work in a scientific research institute. He has been diligent and diligent in his work, always keeping in mind the purpose and philosophy of serving the people, and has made outstanding achievements in his position. contribute.
Chairman Mao and his daughter Li Min
Whether Zhu Daolai is Chairman Mao’s child is still a mystery until now, no one knows the result. But no matter who this child belongs to, his parents have made great contributions to the Chinese revolution, and he is the offspring of the revolution.
