Mao Zedong, a romantic figure who was at the pinnacle of history, had many children in his life. As a father, he had a colorful inner world just like ordinary people. However, for the revolutionary cause, some of his many children died in infancy, some were lost, and some were sacrificed. In the end, only one son and two daughters were left: Mao Anqing, Li Min and Li Na.

On March 23, 2007, Mao Anqing, son of the great leader Chairman Mao, died in Beijing at the age of 84 due to ineffective treatment. He has been low-key and simple all his life. Even many people don't know Mao Anqing's life experience and achievements. His wife Shao Hua even commented on him this way: Anqing always does more and talks less!

suffered a lot in childhood

On November 23, 1923, a child was born in Xiangya Hospital in Changsha, Hunan Province. He was the second son of Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui Mao Anqing .

Since Mao Anying was born, Mao Zedong rarely had time to be by his side for the sake of the revolutionary cause. Fortunately, he was accompanied by his mother Yang Kaihui and his brother Mao Anying . Although life was difficult, it was often accompanied by laughter.

In the autumn when Mao Anqing was four years old, after the party's "August 7th" meeting, Mao Zedong went to the border of Hunan and Jiangxi to organize the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and had no choice but to say goodbye to his wife and children again. However, no one thought that it would be difficult to see each other after parting this time .

On October 24, 1930, Yang Kaihui, who persisted in the underground struggle in Itancun, Changsha, was arrested by the Kuomintang warlords and died heroically in November.

After the death of Yang Kaihui, under the arrangement of the underground party organization of the Chinese Communist Party, the three brothers Mao Anying, Mao Anying, and Mao Anlong were released from prison on bail and secretly transferred to Shanghai Datong Kindergarten run by our party. Unfortunately, younger brother Mao Anlong died of illness.

In April 1931, the Shanghai underground party organization was severely damaged, and Datong Kindergarten was forced to disband. Mao Anying and Mao Anying were arranged to be raised in the home of an underground party member, and later transferred to the home of his ex-wife. Because

couldn't bear the abuse, ended up living on the streets , making a living by selling newspapers, often eating and hungry, and had to face the test of fate at a young age.

By chance, when the young Mao Anqing learned about the death of his uncle Mao Zetan, he angrily wrote the slogan "Down with imperialism" on the street. Unfortunately, this scene happened to be seen by a foreign patrolman. The angry patrolman hit Mao Anqing on the head with a blunt instrument. His brain was severely damaged, so that he could not be cured later.

The painful experience in his childhood left an indelible shadow on Mao Anqing's young mind. In order to survive, the two brothers did not eat breakfast for three months. Sometimes they were bullied and had no choice but to swallow their anger.

In 1936, the underground party organization found two brothers who had been wandering for five years in a ruined temple in Shanghai. At that time, the two children were already skinny, their hair was messy, and their clothes were very thin. They looked like beggars on the street. No different.

Later, under the arrangement of the party organization, the two brothers were sent to the Soviet Union to study, thinking that they could live a stable life. However, the good times did not last long. In 1941, the Soviet Patriotic War broke out. His elder brother Mao Anying took the initiative to join the army and went to the front line. Mao Anying actively supported the front.

In September 1947, Mao Anqing returned to China via Manchuria after being away from his motherland for many years, and was introduced to the Communist Party of China in Harbin.

Subsequently, Mao Anqing followed his father's wishes and participated in a land pilot project in Keshan County, Heilongjiang Province. He conducted in-depth grassroots investigations and research, ate, lived and worked with the masses. He also used his expertise in abacus and the ability to play a variety of musical instruments to find ways to activate the countryside. Cultural life is deeply welcomed and loved by the masses.

In July 1949, Mao Anqing returned to Beijing and served as a Russian translator in the Marxist-Leninist Works Compilation Room of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In 1953, Mao Anqing went to the Soviet Union again for treatment due to illness.In April 1927, the Fifth Party Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Wuhan, which happened to be the day after Zhang Wenqiu and Liu Qianchu got married.

The representatives congratulated the two newcomers one after another, but Chairman Mao said to Zhang Wenqiu: " Others wish you a son soon. I hope you will have a daughter, and our family will be a good couple. I have two sons, one is named Anying." , one is called An Qing. ”

This was originally a joke, but later, I don’t know whether it was the chance of history or the arrangement of fate. Zhang Wenqiu’s eldest daughter Liu Siqi really married Mao Anying, and his second daughter Shao Hua married his younger brother Mao Anying.

Shao Hua is the daughter born to Zhang Wenqiu and her second husband Chen Zhenya. She was born in Yan'an and experienced the same hardships as Mao Anqing since childhood.

In October 1957, after Mao Anqing completed his studies in the Soviet Union, he went from Beijing to Dalian to recuperate. Shao Hua began to correspond with him. Soon, the feelings between Mao Anqing and Shao Hua were sublimated.

In 1960, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua held a wedding in Dalian, and Mao Zedong gave them an old coat. After conditions improved, Mao Zedong gave Shao Hua a watch and a Panda radio.

Mao Zedong was very satisfied with the marriage between Mao Anqing and Shao Hua. Shao Hua grew up under Chairman Mao's watch, and because of this marriage, the two families became closer again.

After spending some time as newlyweds in Dalian, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua went to Beijing to visit their father. Mao Zedong said to Shao Hua: " The new daughter-in-law should go back to meet the parents and fellow villagers in Shaoshan . She should go and see her." See grandma, go visit your mother Yang Kaihui’s grave. ”

After returning to Shaoshan, although the couple could not figure out the seniority of many people, the parents and fellow villagers were very enthusiastic, full of warmth and love, and said many blessings.

After their marriage, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua worked hand in hand, respecting each other as guests, both lovers and confidants, and they went through ups and downs together for decades.

Do more and talk less

Anyone who is familiar with Mao Anqing knows that although he is the son of the great leader Chairman Mao, he is extremely low-key in life and has no airs. He just does practical things quietly and does not brag about himself. merit.

In January 1970, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua gave birth to a child, named Mao Xinyu.

As a father , Mao Anqing is not like other strict fathers who yell at every turn. On the contrary, Mao Anqing was a loving father. He often used his own practical actions and set an example to set an example for Mao Xinyu, so that the glorious image of the party planted the seeds in his son's heart. At the same time, it is precisely because of the careful care of Mao Anqing and Shao Hua that Mao Xinyu always maintains a child-like simplicity and frankness.

As a son, although Mao Anqing did not have many opportunities to meet his father Mao Zedong, he put his father in the most important position in his heart. He not only learned from his father spiritually, but also moved closer to his father in life, bit by bit. Strictly demand yourself on small daily things.

As a husband , although Mao Anqing and Shao Hua are several years apart in age, they are highly consistent in mind and soul. Mao Anqing has never been in good health, and Shao Hua always takes care of him meticulously. Mao Anqing can also understand Shao Hua's difficulties. Although he rarely says polite words, he keeps these in his heart and will give him advice from time to time. Sharing the burden of life for Shao Hua.

In addition to family, Mao Anqing always does things quietly, and the same is true at work.

In his later years, Mao Anqing was concerned about national affairs, had firm beliefs, paid attention to national unity, supported reform and opening up, and supported the construction of old, young, border, poverty-stricken areas and disaster areas.

Mao Anqing has repeatedly walked with Shao Hua on the Long March with his son Mao Xinyu, visiting revolutionary areas and minority areas, helping out-of-school children in various forms, caring about the growth and progress of the young generation, and supporting the establishment of several youth Patriotism education base .

In the 30 years since his father Mao Zedong passed away, he and other members of Mao Zedong’s family have shouldered the historical responsibilities of paying homage to their relatives, educating their descendants, carrying forward traditions, and continuing their family traditions. They also planned and organized the renovation of the cemeteries of many martyrs.

The Mao family has successors

Mao Xinyu, the son of Mao Anqing and Shao Hua, is the only direct grandson of Mao Zedong.

In September 2000, Mao Xinyu entered the Academy of Military Science of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to study for a doctorate. In the past three years, he has systematically studied the history of China's revolutionary wars, especially the history of the War of Liberation, and studied a large number of Chinese and foreign military histories and military texts.

Obtained a doctorate from the Academy of Military Science in July 2003.

On December 26, 2003, the 110th anniversary of Mao Zedong’s birth, Mao Zedong’s great-grandson was born at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. He weighed seven pounds and three ounces.

Perhaps God fulfilled his wish, and a chubby young man with a big head and a big head was born. It was really the best birthday gift God gave to Chairman Mao!

Because the child was born in winter and was a descendant of Mao Zedong, he was called "Dong Dong". Later, he felt that winter was too cold, so he simply called him " Dongdong " to inherit Mao Zedong's "东" character.

The good news spread. That night, at the Great Hall of the People , a large-scale cultural evening was held to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Mao Zedong's birth. Jiang Zemin happily said to Mao Xinyu: " Congratulations to Xinyu for becoming a father! "

In January 2005, the child just turned 10 When he was one year old, Shao Hua and Mao Xinyu's family arrived in Shaoshan to pay homage to Chairman Mao.

In July 2010, Mao Xinyu was promoted to the rank of major general.

Although Mao Xinyu is a major general today, he adheres to principles, is cautious about rights and never does business. In life, he maintains the same style as Chairman Mao and has strict requirements on himself and his family. Moreover, Mao Xinyu, like Chairman Mao, likes calligraphy and painting very much, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

It can be seen from this that Mao Anqing is indeed an ordinary and qualified father. He is not only strict with himself, but also has his own set of experiences in educating his children.

Mao Anqing was born in a "proud" family, but he did not rest on his father Mao Zedong's "credit book". He has been doing things in a low-key manner all his life, and he has been studying how to make the country prosperous and strong throughout his life. How can we let people live a good life? His life was ordinary but so wonderful .
