In our country's revolutionary war, Chairman Mao established a new China with his outstanding political and military talents, outstanding combat wisdom, and the common and firm belief of revolutionary comrades, and ended the life of the old Chinese people who suffered humiliation, exploitation and oppression.
has made outstanding contributions to the Chinese people's live a happy and fulfilling new life, the improvement of China's international status and the strengthening of China's comprehensive national strength.
However, the long revolutionary struggle was extremely difficult, and Chairman Mao lost many relatives in the war. This includes his eldest son Mao Anying.
After Mao Anying died, his widow Liu Siqi was only twenty years old.
Looking at the young Liu Siqi, Mao Zedong's brows were full of worries. His daughter-in-law is so young and beautiful, and it is impossible for her to be a widow for the rest of her life. She has to find a way to help her find a good family again.
In order to find a high-quality husband for Liu Siqi, Mao Zedong went all out, and in the end he locked the right candidate on Yang Maozhi.
So, who is this Yang Maozhi? Why did he win the favor of the chairman?
The couple is harmonious, and the zither and the sound of the zither is harmonious. Mao Anying, as Mao Zedong's eldest son, has experienced hardships, ups and downs and setbacks in his life.
He lost his mother at a young age and witnessed his mother being shot and killed by warlords. Later, he had been wandering outside for a long time. His early life of hunger and cold and difficult life made Mao Anying develop a sensitive personality.
Fortunately, Mao Anying was later sent to the Soviet Union to study.
The Soviet Union at that time was an extremely powerful country in the world. Mao Anying entered the military academy there and received advanced military theory learning, which continuously enhanced his abilities.
, and Mao Anying once participated in the resistance of fascism in the Soviet Union in World War II , which better forged his internal strength.
1946, Mao Anying returned to China and returned to his father. Under his guidance, he insisted on working and studying and kept reading.
Mao Anying's political awareness is getting higher and higher, and his ideas and concepts of building the motherland and serving the people are getting deeper and deeper.
After returning to China, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi met at an accidental party, and Li Na took the initiative to introduce each other to each other.
Mao Anying dressed simply, leaving a simple impression on Liu Siqi, and Liu Siqi's big eyes also deeply attracted Mao Anying.
Liu Siqi is also a miserable person, just like Mao Anying.
Her parents are also progressive comrades who participated in the revolution and have a deep relationship with Mao Zedong.
In the revolutionary struggle, Liu Siqi lost his father, while Mao Anying lost his mother. Similar experiences made the two gradually become familiar with each other.
Time flows slowly, and the relationship between the two people is getting better and better day by day.
Soon, Mao Anying expressed her feelings, which caught Liu Siqi off guard. She felt that she was just an ordinary family’s daughter, how could she deserve the Chairman’s son?
But Mao Anying didn't care about so much. He boldly and enthusiastically expressed his deep love to Liu Siqi, and moved Liu Siqi with his sincerity. The two quickly established a love relationship.
On October 15, 1949, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi officially got married.
Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi and others all participated in the wedding and gave gifts.
They looked at the happy couple, and their hearts were filled with fruitful joy. Mao Zedong was particularly excited. He was very happy that his son found such a good girl.
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi were also beating in their hearts. They glanced at each other and their cheeks were red.
They think they can be together happily from now on, forever, forever and forever.
However, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flowers are red for a hundred days. Soon, a war broke the peace between the couple.
1950, the North Korean civil war broke out. The United States formed the " United Nations Army " despite the opposition of other countries, brazenly interfered in North Korea's internal affairs and burned the war to the borders of Yalu River, seriously threatening the security of our northeastern border.
In order to defend the country, Mao Zedong made the major decision of " Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" and ordered Peng Dehuai to lead the " Chinese People's Volunteer Army" into North Korea to fight against the United States.
Mao Anying has been influenced by politics for a long time and received systematic military training, so he resolutely joined the Volunteer Army team.
Who knew that after just one month in North Korea, Mao Anying died due to bombing of American aircraft at the age of 28.
cheered up again and worked hard to learn
After Mao Anying died, Mao Zedong did not tell her the news because he was afraid of affecting Liu Siqi's emotions, and his family members dared not disclose this.
It was not until 1953 that Korean War ended, and Liu Siqi learned about her husband's death.
At this time, she cried like a tearful person, and sadness and pain spread in every corner of her body, completely submerging the young Liu Siqi.
Looking at his daughter-in-law who was so painful, Mao Zedong couldn't say anything. He sat on the bed barely, his mind was in chaos.
The pain of losing his son and his love for his daughter-in-law made this great leader unable to calm down any longer. Zhou Enlai, who was next to
, rushed up to comfort him, but when he touched Mao Zedong's hand, he realized that Mao Zedong's hand was already cold and cold.
Zhou Enlai quickly told Liu Siqi that he would help comfort the chairman.
The sensible Liu Siqi quickly stood up, endured the grief in his heart, and began to comfort Mao Zedong.
The warmth given to each other by two generations gradually fades away some of the pain of losing relatives and lovers.
For a long time after Mao Anying's sacrifice, Liu Siqi spent the pain and struggle.
Mao Zedong felt pity for this gentle and obedient daughter-in-law who lost her husband at a young age, and often persuaded and comforted her.
Liu Siqi graduated from high school in 1954. Mao Zedong decided to send her to the Department of Mathematics and Technology of Moscow University in the Soviet Union for further studies. Liu Siqi was 24 years old that year.
But just on the eve of going abroad, Liu Siqi caught a serious cold. She wrote a letter to Mao Zedong, hoping to meet her father Mao Zedong before going abroad.
So Mao Zedong immediately wrote her a reply letter, asking Liu Siqi to take good care of himself, overcome difficulties, and study hard.
Mao Zedong's words gave Liu Siqi great comfort in the dilemma.
While Liu Siqi went abroad to study, Mao Zedong gradually got rid of the pain through her long-term letter contacts.
Liu Siqi gradually grew and transformed, becoming stronger and stronger.
However, due to the lack of adaptation to the local environment, coupled with the fact that his heart disease has not been completely cured, and the difficulty of changing from literature to reason, Liu Siqi gradually felt that his studies were becoming more difficult.
She wrote a letter to Mao Zedong, describing in detail the problems she encountered in the Soviet Union and her desire to return to China to study.
Mao Zedong expressed his understanding of this and quickly wrote a reply to Liu Siqi, encouraging her to make decisions and find a path that suits her according to her actual situation.
Finally, under Mao Zedong's care, Liu Siqi made up his mind to return to China to study.
She returned to China in October 1957 and transferred to Peking University to study.
remarried others and lived a happy life
1961, 31-year-old Liu Siqi graduated from Peking University and became a translator.
Although she had the kind care of the older generation leaders such as Mao Zedong, she still lacked a confidant who could share her worries and relieve her boredom.
Mao Zedong was very pleased to see that his daughter-in-law had a good job. He believed that Liu Siqi could do his job well and could shoulder the burden on his shoulders.
However, Mao Zedong was very anxious about Liu Siqi's marriage.
He doesn't want his excellent daughter-in-law to be a widow all her life from now on. He hopes that she can find someone who truly loves her and respects her to start a family together and live a happy life.
Liu Siqi has never shown a positive attitude on this issue.
She has always put work first and has not shown enthusiasm for love and marriage.
Therefore, whenever Mao Zedong persuaded her, Liu Siqi would always give up on all kinds of reasons. This was really a big frustration for Mao Zedong.
For Liu Siqi to live a happy life, Mao Zedong went all out and kept asking people to find excellent and capable young men.
Finally, under the introduction of Liu Zhen, who was then deputy commander of the Air Force and dean of the Air Force Academy, Mao Zedong took a fancy to Yang Maozhi, a teacher at the Air Force Academy's attack aircraft teaching and research department who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union.
Liu Zhen introduced to Mao Zedong:
Yang Maozhi, like Liu Siqi, both returned from studying in the Soviet Union. He was just 30 years old. He is tall, strong, strong, honest, and has a good character. His parents are both fishermen, simple and kind, rich in knowledge and theory, and is also a regiment-level cadre, and is a very suitable candidate.
After Mao Zedong learned about this young man named Yang Maozhi, he felt that he was really good. He was very good in terms of appearance, character, ability and development prospects.
So, Mao Zedong wrote a letter to Liu Siqi, which read:
Daughter: Hello! How can I forget it? You have to listen to your advice and make up your mind to get married. It’s time. The five minds are unsure and they lose completely. It is a common problem for girls like you to be high or low. Is it? The letter comes, and I reply to it in hope! say hello.
At the same time, Mao Zedong wrote a letter to Liu Siqi's mother Zhang Wenqiu, which expressed his concern for Liu Siqi, his hope for her to have a happy future, and his thoughts on introducing Yang Maozhi to Liu Siqi.
As a great man of a generation and an outstanding political and military leader, it is rare for Mao Zedong to care for the younger generation so meticulously and think about the younger generation.
After the persuasion of Mao Zedong and Zhang Wenqiu, Liu Siqi agreed to interact with Yang Maozhi for a while and observe how this person is.
Liu Siqi was surprised to find that they had seen them at a party where Chinese students went to the Soviet Union, but the two were not familiar with each other at that time.
After a period of time of getting along, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi finally got married.
In February 1962, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi's wedding was held in the courtyard of Liu Siqi in Beijing Nanchizi .
Mao Zedong was very happy and wrote a picture of " Bu Suanzi. Yongmei " he had just created as a wedding gift, and gave Liu Siqi 300 yuan to buy gifts himself.
After marriage, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi lived happily. The two formed a happy family together and raised four children together, and both achieved success in learning.
But Liu Siqi did not forget Mao Anying. After Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi's first child was born, Liu Siqi and her husband discussed and decided to name him "Yang Xiaoying" to express their nostalgia and memorial for the deceased Mao Anying.
Later, Liu Siqi went to North Korea several times to visit Mao Anying to pay homage to Mao Anying.
On January 7, 2022, Liu Siqi passed away, ending his life full of twists and turns.
From Mao Zedong's attitude towards his son Mao Anying and his daughter-in-law Liu Siqi, we can see that as a great man of a generation, the Chairman is full of strategies to immediately move and whip the world, and is also full of endless and earnest and touching true feelings.
Yu Gong, he was smart and capable, governed the country, and led the revolutionary comrades to build a new China. In private, he is kind and sincere, approachable, and is a good father and good father-in-law.
Chairman Mao is worthy of being a hero of a generation, a truly strategic man! A touching elder!
