In 1957, a letter from Changsha was delivered to Chairman Mao. The person who wrote the letter was Yang Kaihui's friend Li Shuyi .
Chairman Mao is very familiar with Li Shuyi, not only because he is Yang Kaihui's friend, but also because his husband Liu Zhixun, who died before, was once Chairman Mao's comrade-in-arms.
Green years, blinking.
Chairman Mao can still recall the happy scenes of Li Shuyi and his family often walking around when he lived in Changsha.
Later, Yang Kaihui and Liu Zhixun died one after another in the revolutionary war, and Chairman Mao left Changsha, Hunan because of the revolutionary cause, and the two families rarely walked around.
In fact, this is not the first letter Li Shuyi took the initiative to write to Chairman Mao after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She also wrote a letter in 1959 and made one request in each of the two letters, and Chairman Mao only agreed to one.
So, what are these two requirements? Why did Chairman Mao agree to only one request?
All of this starts with the heart-wrenching love of that generation of revolutionary martyrs...
1. Lover in the revolutionary era
Li Shuyi and Yang Kaihui met in 1920. At that time, they were both studying at Changsha Fuxiang Girls' Middle School. Because Yang Kaihui's thoughts have improved, her study hard, her life is simple, and she is optimistic and cheerful, Li Shuyi was infected by her cheerful emotions and gradually became very good friends with her.
At that time, both of them were in love at the age of the beginning. The young Li Shuyi and Yang Kaihui shared the beauty of their respective youth.
Yang Kaihui told her her beautiful love with Mao Zedong, and Li Shuyi sincerely wished Yang Kaihui. She also hoped that she could find a lover who made her happy and only belonged to her.
Not long after, Yang Kaihui married Mao Zedong.
When she got married, Yang Kaihui put aside the secular traditional concepts, did not sit in a sedan chair, did not want to marry a dowry, nor did she use the words of the matchmaker, and just carried a suitcase, and married Mao Zedong without hesitation.
After getting married, the two had a very good relationship. One day, Yang Kaihui specifically told her friend Li Shu that Mao Zedong filled out a song "Yu Meiren".
Because Yang Kaihui attaches great importance to Li Shuyi, she also showed Li Shu this poem that only belongs to her and Mao Zedong.
In fact, when he heard that Yang Kaihui was going to marry Mao Zedong, Li Shuyi was still a little sad, which meant that Yang Kaihui could no longer stay with her.
However, seeing Yang Kaihui's heart and eyes full of Mao Zedong and living a very happy life, Li Shuyi also put away the faint sadness and sincerely wished her.
Although Yang Kaihui is married, she cherishes Li Shuyi very much. She remembers Li Shuyi's search for a like-minded lover in her heart.
Yang Kaihui knew that Mao Zedong's comrade Liu Zhixun was an open-minded, loyal and loyal person, and was handsome. After she told Mao Zedong about this, the two matched Yang Kaihui and Liu Zhixun.
I thought the two would have to go through a period of time, but I didn’t expect that Yang Kaihui and Liu Zhixun got the same thing at first sight, and both sides had a good impression of each other.
At that time, Liu Zhixun was studying while carrying out patriotic movements, and often sent some relevant materials to Li Shuyi. Under the influence of Liu Zhixun, Li Shuyi also slowly participated in some progressive student movements, and their relationship became deeper and deeper as they interacted.
1924, Li Shuyi and Liu Zhixun got married.
After Li Shuyi and Yang Kaihui got married, their lives were basically the same. They took good care of their own family and supported their husbands' revolutionary cause. The two young couples loved each other deeply. In their opinion, such a marriage was full of beautiful expectations and was happy.
It was only in that era that their families were destined to shoulder a heavy historical mission. This romance is full of happiness and blood.
At that time, because of the revolutionary war, Mao Zedong went to Jinggangshan to participate in the revolutionary battle. He and Yang Kaihui often expressed their thoughts with poetry, but the sweet days were short after all.
Once, Yang Kaihui, who was far away in Changsha, missed Mao Zedong very much, so she wrote a poem " Idiotic " that missed the "far-distance traveler" to express her deep longing for Mao Zedong.
Just longing ended up empty. Before this poem reached Mao Zedong's hands, Yang Kaihui was arrested by the enemy.
The situation was very critical at that time. The Yang family had been rescuing Yang Kaihui and they were seeking help everywhere.
In the end, the enemy decided to give a stand on Yang Kaihui.com and made a request: As long as she can declare her separation from Mao Zedong, she can leave alive.
Yang Kaihui is resolute. From the fact that she married Mao Zedong with just a box without hesitation, and firmly supported Mao Zedong's revolutionary cause after marriage, it can be seen that she would not agree to the enemy's request.
1930 at 1:00 pm on November 14, 1930, under the sound of a sob gun, 29-year-old Yang Kaihui was killed bravely in Changsha.
And two years after Yang Kaihui's sacrifice, Li Shuyi's husband Liu Zhixun also died in Hubei.
Li Shuyi has encountered the same danger, but Li Shuyi is lucky. After being rescued by her family, she finally survived.
The situation encountered by Mao Zedong and Li Shuyi was the same. Neither of them knew that their wife or husband had passed away at the first time.
Long-term hope, waiting for a lot of disappointment, Liu Zhixun left like this, leaving Li Shuyi alone with endless longing and concern.
Li Shuyi lived a difficult life with her children alone, but she did not give up her agreement with Liu Zhixun and must let the children go to college.
Just like that, Li Shuyi lived in an unstable world, hiding from all over the world. Because she had teaching experience before, jobs like tutors are basically one of her sources of life. During
, Mao Zedong also faced the same danger, and his side was unsafe. Although he had asked someone to inquire about Li Shuyi's situation, he did not receive real and reliable news.
Just like that, two families who had close contact lost contact in troubled times.
Time flies, and 27 years have passed in a blink of an eye.
2. The longing of old friends
In 1957, Chairman Mao published 18 poems. At that time, Li Shu had a nightmare because of missing her husband, and then filled in a poem "Bodhisattva Man·Shock Dream" to express her longing.
It happened to be heard that Chairman Mao published his poems in " Poetry Magazine ", so she found him to study it. She remembered the term "Yu Meiren" that Chairman Mao once gave to Yang Kaihui. After reading it carefully, she did not publish it in this issue.
Li Shuyi recalled that Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui had a very good relationship. Chairman Mao must remember this song "Yu Meiren". Although many years have passed, she has not been published with other poems, and she is very confused.
So, Li Shu put away her sadness and wrote a letter to Chairman Mao. made her first request: to ask Mao Zedong for the full text of the poem "Yu Meiren".
At the same time, Li Shuyi also mailed his own "Bodhisattva Man·Shock Dream" together, hoping that Chairman Mao could give me some advice.
Li Shuyi mailed the letter, and she was always nervous. She didn't know if Chairman Mao, who had been worried about the revolutionary cause and state affairs, still remembers herself? Will he agree to her presumptuous request?
Only a few months later, a four-page reply gave her the answer.
In fact, after seeing Li Shuyi's letter, Chairman Mao remembered this old friend from Changsha, and was also infected by her deep longing in the poem "Bodhisattva Man·Shock Dream".
Chairman Mao is also a flesh-and-blood person. He also has feelings and love, and also has longings hidden deep in his heart.
However, Mao Zedong's love is different. His thoughts drifted away, and in a trance sighed at the scene tonight, and picked up his pen to write the word "Butterfly Love Flower".
This poem is not the "Yu Meiren" that Li Shuyi asked for, but the new title of Chairman Mao in the midst of emotion and nostalgia.
Maybe it is to want to keep the initial beauty of his relationship, or to consider his current position, and the affection of that year is inconvenient to announce it, and Chairman Mao himself cannot explain it clearly.
is just that that relationship is so unforgettable. Chairman Mao not only remembers the lyrics of "Yu Meiren", but also the feelings expressed under joy at that time, so he rewritten a poem.
In fact, Chairman Mao rarely wrote such a long article in his reply letters throughout his life, but he was very serious and attentive in the letters related to Yang Kaihui. The arrival of this reply letter, Li Shuyi, gave great comfort to her heart. The old friend did not forget herself and still remember her friends. What a happy thing.
Li Shuyi was teaching Chinese at a middle school in Changsha City at that time, and immediately told the students this poem.
A student from a normal college in Hunan after hearing about this, he wanted to publish the song "Dielianhua" to publish. After asking Li Shuyi, according to her suggestions, these students also wrote letters to Chairman Mao...
Chairman Mao loved the people very much. Seeing the letter from these students, although he was busy with official duties, he still took time to reply to these students seriously:
Chairman Mao first apologized for his untimely reply, and then agreed to the publication of "Dielianhua" and asked the name of the poem to be changed to "Dielianhua·Give to Li Shuyi" when publishing, and also asked the students to ask.
Later, this poem was included in People's Literature Publishing House in 1963, and was changed to "Dielianhua·Answer Li Shuyi".
After replying to the letter, Chairman Mao put down his pen, walked to the window, and looked at the ancient locust tree shaking his body in the autumn wind, with all kinds of thoughts.
The old man's every frown and smile seemed to still echo in his ears. Chairman Mao lamented that things had changed, but the beauty had passed away. The longing buried for Yang Kaihui in his heart can only give him poems and nostalgia.
Later, Mr. Zhang Shizhao came to visit Chairman Mao, and the two exchanged their feelings described in "Butterfly Love Flower".
Zhang Shizhao likes this poem very much. He had questions about the word "生" in one of the sentences, so he asked the chairman, can this "生" be interpreted as "生"?
Chairman Mao did not answer this question immediately. He stood up and thought deeply while walking.
It seems that it was back to that day. Yang Kaihui was executed with a firm face and stood firmly on the execution ground. She was only 29 years old. She was in her beautiful years and left three young children who were sobbing and died calmly.
Chairman Mao suddenly felt a desolate and bitter feeling when he recalled the past. He came back to his senses from the heavy and long-lasting memories, read Su Shi 's "Jiangchengzi·Records of Dreams", broke free from the trouble of "emotion", and walked out the door.
Looking at the still-restless north wind blowing the ancient locust branches that didn't want to float, everything seemed to have entered a desolate dream. He murmured to himself: I don't know if Li Shuyi went to visit the tomb for him .
3, the second requirement
Li Shuyi really lived up to expectations. Although the old friend's mood was expressed on paper, she was as smart as Li Shuyi. After receiving Chairman Mao's reply, she immediately pulled Yang Kaihui's brother and sister-in-law, and several people came to Yang Kaihui's grave to express her longing and Chairman Mao's longing.
. Yang Kaihui's brother Yang Kaizhi , who was standing behind Li Shu, had already cried, for himself, for his family, and for his sister.
In the war years, Yang Kaizhi's only sister and daughter Yang Zhan died one after another. Even the smartest and well-behaved nephew Mao Anying died on the Korean battlefield, and the bones were left on that land.
The Yang family is loyal and righteous and glorious, but only one can understand the bitterness and sorrows of it. As Yang Kaihui's good sister, Li Shuyi is very clear about these things.
After Yang Kaihui's sacrifice, Li Shuyi promised Yang's mother that she would be Yang's mother's biological daughter in the future. She remembered this sentence firmly and maintained close contact with the Yang family for many years since then.
Therefore, when Li Shu received a reply from Chairman Mao, she couldn't wait to pull the Yang family to the front of Yang Kaihui's tomb for two reasons:
1. She wanted to tell the Yang family and also told Yang Kaihui that her lover did not forget her. Her deep longing for Mao Zedong during her lifetime was worth it.
Second, she wanted to tell Yang Kaizhi that Mao Zedong always cared about the Yang family, and in the four-page letter paper, Mao Zedong was full of concern. After
, Li Shuyi wrote the visit to Yang Kaihui in a letter, mailed it to Chairman Mao, and accompanied it with a tribute written by herself to Yang Kaihui.
Li Shuyi thought that after she was disturbed by abruptly, the matter came to an end and her wish was fulfilled.
But unexpectedly, Chairman Mao replied to her again, and apologized for not being able to reply in time. At the same time, he also sent 500 yuan. He knew that Li Shuyi lived a hard life and wanted to raise a child, and hoped not to refuse.
When Li Shu saw Chairman Mao’s reply, she remembered the scene of her having been having fun with Liu Zhixun, Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong many years ago, and tears couldn’t help but moisten her eyes.
Back then, although Li Shuyi lived a hard life after Liu Zhixun's death, she felt very happy to be able to raise her and her husband's children.
Life is always kind to those who work hard. After her efforts, life ushered in the dawn and the agreement with her husband was completed. Her daughter was admitted to Lantian National Normal University, and her son was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University .
Chairman Mao admired Li Shuyi's greatness in raising an orphan alone and finally growing up. After learning about the situation, he admired her very much.
Although Chairman Mao was not clear about Li Shuyi’s experience for many years, he knew that Li Shuyi’s difficulty was not easy, so he advised her not to refuse the five hundred yuan, after all, she is such a great intellectual woman.
Sure enough, Li Shuyi was independent and stubborn. Seeing the 500 yuan sent by Chairman Mao, Li Shuyi saved it as a commemoration of that friendship.
After this correspondence, Chairman Mao also met Li Shuyi in Hunan, and the two even took a photo. After
, Mao Zedong knew that Li Shuyi's son was very filial and she lived a good life, but he had always been very busy and had no time, so he did not reminisce about the past again.
Li Shuyi also knew that Chairman Mao was worried about national affairs and did not bother Chairman Mao again because of reminiscing about the past.
Until September 1959, Li Shuyi suddenly wrote a letter to Mao Zedong again. In this letter, Li Shuyi made the second request to Mao Zedong: I hope that I can participate in the National Day celebration.
In fact, Li Shuyi can understand that she has endured the pain of the revolutionary era, so she hopes that she can stand on the Tiananmen Gate Tower with the expectations of her good sisters, the Yang family, and her husband, instead of her deceased friends and relatives, and see the new look of China, which is willing to give her life for this.
This time, Li Shuyi was destined to be disappointed. As early as when the founding of New China , many of Chairman Mao’s fellow villagers had written letters to him, hoping that he could introduce their work to them, but Chairman Mao politely refused.
Chairman Mao is a relative, a friend, and a neighbor, but he is also the chairman of a country and a person with clear distinction between public and private.
However, Chairman Mao was still very concerned about Li Shuyi. He explained the situation to Li Shuyi and said that he could ask Li Shuyi about the specific situation in the relevant department later. If there is no reply in the end, it would not work.
Chairman Mao’s meaning is: I can ask the relevant departments whether Li Shuyi can realize his wish, but the relevant departments need to consider and make decisions in accordance with relevant standards without taking into account his relationship.
Chairman Mao has always made clear about personal feelings and national rules, and no one is exceptional.
Of course, the final result is very happy. After learning about Li Shuyi's situation, the relevant departments checked her various conditions and agreed to her request to visit the National Day ceremony. This was also decided through many aspects.
first, because he is the wife of martyr Liu Zhixun, who once served as secretary of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and participated in Nanchang Uprising .
second, because Li Shuyi is a people's teacher. She worked hard for decades and cultivated countless students.
On October 1, 1959, Li Shu climbed the Tiananmen Gate Tower as she wished to watch the National Day ceremony. She was full of tears. The blood of her relatives and friends did not flow in vain. The motherland was full of thriving scenes.
1997, Li Shuyi passed away her glorious and deserving life and passed away peacefully in Beijing. The peaceful and quiet face of
may be because this stubborn old man who has been living for a lifetime can finally be reunited with his husband who has missed him for a lifetime.
Once, Yang Kaihui, who was far away in Changsha, missed Mao Zedong very much, so she wrote a poem " Idiotic " that missed the "far-distance traveler" to express her deep longing for Mao Zedong.
Just longing ended up empty. Before this poem reached Mao Zedong's hands, Yang Kaihui was arrested by the enemy.

In the end, the enemy decided to give a stand on Yang Kaihui.com and made a request: As long as she can declare her separation from Mao Zedong, she can leave alive.
Yang Kaihui is resolute. From the fact that she married Mao Zedong with just a box without hesitation, and firmly supported Mao Zedong's revolutionary cause after marriage, it can be seen that she would not agree to the enemy's request.
1930 at 1:00 pm on November 14, 1930, under the sound of a sob gun, 29-year-old Yang Kaihui was killed bravely in Changsha.
And two years after Yang Kaihui's sacrifice, Li Shuyi's husband Liu Zhixun also died in Hubei.
Li Shuyi has encountered the same danger, but Li Shuyi is lucky. After being rescued by her family, she finally survived.
The situation encountered by Mao Zedong and Li Shuyi was the same. Neither of them knew that their wife or husband had passed away at the first time.
Long-term hope, waiting for a lot of disappointment, Liu Zhixun left like this, leaving Li Shuyi alone with endless longing and concern.
