As the daughter of Chairman Mao and He Zizhen, Li Min took the list drawn up by the staff in tears and checked it repeatedly. Finally, she controlled her emotions and said a name that the people present had never heard of.
"I have another brother Mao Anying!" Li Min said with tears.
Who is "Brother Mao Anying"? Why hasn't it been said that Li Min, the chairman's daughter, had such an older brother? Where should I find this Mao family now?
descendants of the Mao family, son of heroes
Speaking of Mao Anying, Li Min and Chairman Mao, we have to mention Chairman Mao’s third brother Mao Zetan and He Zizhen’s sister He Yi.
1935, Mao Anying was born. His parents were Mao Zetan and He Yi. In other words, Mao Anying was not only Mao Zedong's nephew, but also Mao Zedong's wife and nephew.
Therefore, as Chairman Mao and He Zizhen's daughter, Li Min, it is not surprising that she calls Mao Anye the older brother. As a descendant of the Mao family, Mao Anying did not know anything about his identity at first, even his real name.
On April 26, 1935, Mao Zetan, then commander of the Independent Division of the Red Army, unfortunately died in a guerrilla breakthrough in Ruijin .
times, He Yi was deeply saddened when she heard the news. However, the complex struggle situation and the increasingly rigorous search of the enemy forced He Yi to endure the pain of losing her husband and put the newly born Mao Anying Cheng in the home of He Diaoyuan, a relative and friend of Yongxin County, during the transfer.
He is the mother's surname; Lu is Yuelu Mountain, Hunan to express his longing for his hometown in Hunan; success is a revolution that must be fulfilled. "He Lucheng" became Mao Anying's new name. At this time, the young He Lucheng knew nothing about his life experience.
Mao Zeqian
What he could remember when he was young was his "grandfather" He Tiaoyuan often received letters from different places, which were full of concern and greetings, but he had no idea that the owner of these letters was his mother He Yi.
Out of protection for He Lucheng, He Diaoyuan's family never talked about his life experience to He Lucheng. The young He Lucheng naturally would not know that his mother was arrested and tortured when he was five years old.
The first time he actually met his mother, he realized his identity was in August 1949. During this period, He Lucheng lived in He Diaoyuan's family in Yongxin County.
The mother and son recognize each other and suffer a tragic disaster
In August 1949, a revolutionary woman came to Huating Village, Yongxin County. He Yi, one of the three famous Yongxin brothers and sisters, was in the place that year.
He Zizhen and He Yi
At this time, He Lucheng, who had already learned about his life experience from "Grandpa" He Tiaoyuan, looked at He Yi in front of him and was filled with excitement. At this time, he was already in the third year of junior high school and finally saw his kind and respectable mother.
He Yi, who had been away from her children for a long time, couldn't hide her inner joy. She rode the conference in Huating Village and happily held He Lucheng's hand to announce to everyone that He Lucheng was his biological son. After
, He Lucheng followed his mother, who had been the director of the Organization Department of the Ji'an Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China, and left the He Diaoyuan family, where he lived for more than ten years.
Just think that He Lucheng thought he could finally live a good life with his mother, but a car accident broke He Lucheng's beautiful wish.
Since He Yi returned to her hometown, she has been trying to solve a heart disease that she has been tangled with for many years, namely the whereabouts of Maomao, a child who stayed in Gannan on the eve of the Long March of .
He Lucheng
On the evening of November 21, 1949, He Yi and He Lucheng and six people, including the driver, returned to Ji'an after searching for a poor job in southern Gan. The car was in a car accident while driving to Fengtang Bridge in Taihe County .
He Yi lost her life as a result, and He Lucheng also fell into a coma in the car accident, but the driver ran away for fear of guilt.
He Lucheng, who woke up in a coma, couldn't help crying loudly when he saw his mother lying beside him, but let him cry bitterly. He Yi would no longer respond at this time.
No one expected that his mother, who had only been together for three months, would pass away like this! He Lucheng, who has never known his mother since childhood, has really lost his kind and respectable mother since then.
Aunt taught that she had hidden her name and hiding her name
He Zizhen was extremely sad and proposed to hand over He Lucheng to raise her.
In early 1950, at the Shanghai Railway Station, He Lucheng, accompanied by "grandfather" He Tiaoyuan and others, met his aunt for the first time, the famous female Red Army He Zizhen.
At this time, He Zizhen had already sent her daughter Li Min to Beijing. With the deep feelings between herself and her sister He Yi, he completely regarded He Lucheng as his own offspring and cultivated her wholeheartedly.
When He Lucheng first arrived in Shanghai, He Zizhen knew that He Lucheng had been suffering from legs recently, so she took him to several hospitals in Shanghai for treatment. After investigation, it was found that the fracture caused by the car accident had not been found and surgery was required.
While He Lucheng was hospitalized, He Zizhen took care of him meticulously and personally took care of him for a month. After being discharged from the hospital, He Zizhen took He Lucheng to his home to take care of him.
Because He Lucheng has a special family, He Zizhen often teaches He Lucheng: "Don't recite the brand of his father, you must work hard to learn scientific knowledge and become a person with real talent and knowledge." He Lucheng keeps this in mind.

After living in Shanghai, He Lucheng graduated from junior high school and continued his studies at Shanghai Middle School . But He Lucheng, who came from the countryside, was quickly hit.
As a first-class school in Shanghai, Shanghai Middle School is extremely strict in terms of teaching level and learning system .
There are also many cadres from the countryside like He Lucheng in this school, but most of them choose to give up because they can't keep up with the learning progress and turn to join the army. He Lucheng, who seemed to have difficulty studying at the beginning, also had this idea.
Uncle He Minxue advised him after learning about it: "National construction now requires intellectuals, so we should focus on learning." He Lucheng was deeply inspired and gradually established his lifelong ambitions.
Since then, He Lucheng's grades have continued to improve, and he even became the best in the class. His studious aunt He Zizhen also often asks He Lucheng for some courses.
1952, He Lucheng was admitted to the Department of Electricity of Shanghai Jiaotong University . Because the school is very close to his uncle He Minxue's home, He Lucheng lived at his uncle's house, but he would visit his aunt He Zizhen every week.
He Lucheng also seemed particularly low-key about his identity. When registering a student, he only wrote "dead" in his parents' column. In his entire study career, no student could connect him with the Chairman's Mao family.
In addition to hiding his identity and studying hard, He Lucheng will also save a sum of money every month to send it to the villagers who raised him in Jiangxi. He Zizhen also praised He Lucheng for saying "not forgetting his roots."
In 1957, He Lucheng, who originally planned to be a graduate student in Jiangsu, terminated his plan due to changes in the international situation and was assigned to the Fifth Institute of the Ministry of National Defense to study " ground-to-ground missile ".
A year later, He Lucheng, wearing military uniform, came to the command of Qian Xuesen and became the first batch of missile engineers in New China.

After that, He Lucheng believed that his work was confidential, and he was obsessed with his identity and devoted himself to China's missile industry, and successfully proposed an accurate and feasible missile control plan, which made extremely critical contributions to the first independent medium- and short-range missile industry in New China.
Chairman Mao Zedong was very happy when he learned about the success of my country's medium- and short-range missiles, but he did not know that his nephew would be a great contributor.
first met the leader, and his identity was exposed
In 1979, in front of Chairman Mao's spirit, He Lucheng met his great uncle for the first time, but Chairman Mao could not give him any greetings or responses at this time.
As Mao Zetan's child, it is not difficult for He Lucheng to see his high-ranking uncle, and his cousin Li Min often wanders between Chairman Mao and his aunt He Zizhen.
It can be said that as long as He Lucheng has an idea, it is easy to meet the country's top leader. However, He Lucheng kept in mind the teachings of his aunt He Zizhen and did not want to "carry the sign of his father, so he kept silently carrying out his own career.
On August 29, 1959, Li Min got married. He Zizhen, as Li Min's mother, was unable to host his daughter's wedding for various reasons. Out of comfort to He Zizhen, Chairman Mao suggested that Li Min invite his brother He Lucheng, who was in Beijing, to attend.
However, due to the special military department where He Lucheng was located at this time, Li Min had no success in contacting him many times. He Lucheng eventually failed to appear at Li Min's wedding and also lost a chance to meet his uncle.
Until Chairman Mao passed away, Li Min took over the work. After repeated checking, he found that his brother He Lucheng, Mao Anying, was not on the list, so he told the staff that He Lucheng must be invited.
Although the staff did not understand the relationship, he still notified He Lucheng through various efforts as required. He Lucheng, who learned the news, rushed to the spirit of his uncle with sadness and regret.
Li Min
has never seen his father since he was a child, and he has been with his mother for only a few months. Unexpectedly, he saw his uncle for the only time in his life, the great leader of the people of the whole country, and he actually It is in this way!
As a veritable Mao family, He Lucheng not only did not win anything for him, but instead lost what ordinary people could easily have. He Lucheng, after
, took care of his aunt He Zizhen, who was suffering from grief and illness, while continuing to focus on the missile cause he fought for.
1978, He Lucheng and Wang Taichu won the National Science Conference Award for their contribution to missile control schemes, and the outside world knew about the other identity of Chairman Mao’s relatives.
1980, when evaluating senior professional titles, He Lucheng The title certificate clearly shows "001". As the first generation of aerospace expert trained by New China, He Lucheng has achieved his glory outside the halo of the Mao family with his own efforts and ambitions.
As the child of the Mao family and the martyrs, He Lucheng has too many opportunities and shortcuts to take.
But he deliberately avoided the halo of his parents and made great contributions to the national defense construction of New China with his own efforts and ambitions. He is worthy of the Mao family's integrity, selflessness, hard work, and dedicated to serving the people.
After retirement, He Lucheng actively participated in the country's economic construction, emitting his own heat for his hometown Yongxin and other old revolutionary areas.
