At around 8 pm on October 6, 1976, Zhang Yaoci, one of the heads of of the Central Guard Bureau, brought several guards to Jiang Qing's residence and read out the decision to quarantine and review to her. Unlike Wang Hongwen, Zhang Chunqiao and others, Jiang Qing's reaction was very calm. She glanced at Zhang Yaoci, then slowly stood up from the sofa, put on her coat, and followed Zhang Yaoci and others out of the room. In Qincheng Prison, Jiang Qing was locked up alone in a room with better conditions and equipment.
Jiang Qing lives in a large suite where she can read newspapers, listen to radio, and watch TV. Her meals are made of meat, vegetarian and soup, and the three meals are different. The staple foods are generally rice and steamed buns. The two are available for selection, without limit. In addition, there are two kilograms of seasonal fruit every week, and you can drink milk twice and eat dumplings. At that time, many ordinary people might not be able to meet this food standard. Shortly after Jiang Qing entered Qincheng, he made a request, hoping to meet his daughter Li Ne.
Li Na is Jiang Qing's only child, born in 1940. Chairman Mao hoped that his daughter would become a person who talks less empty words and does more practical things when she grew up. Therefore, based on "The Analects of Confucius: Li Ren", "a gentleman is slow in words but quick in actions", he named his daughter Li Na. Li Na's nose and eyes look like his mother, and his face, forehead and mouth look like his father. Jiang Qing and Chairman Mao both love Li Na very much. Chairman Mao was very busy at that time and often didn't have time to take a break. At this time, the staff would gently push Li Ne into the room.
When Chairman Mao saw his daughter coming, he would stop the work and play with her involuntarily, and then go out for a walk. Li Ne later recalled: "When I was two or three years old, I often took one of my father's fingers for a walk. When I grew up, I would hold two fingers, three fingers, and then hold the whole hand. This is how I grew up slowly." Although Chairman Mao loved Li Ne very much, his requirements for her were very strict. From childhood to adulthood, Li Ne never enjoyed any "privileges".
When she was five or six years old, Li Na took a small bowl to the cafeteria like everyone else to make food, and ate the same black bean . Although Jiang Qing felt sorry for her daughter, she knew Chairman Mao’s temper, so she didn’t dare to say more. When Li Na was six or seven years old, he began to march with the troops. Because he was too young and could not ride a horse, for safety, the staff made an iron rack and placed it on the horse's back, and then put Li Na in the rack. Later, after entering , Peking , living conditions improved a little.
Li Ne is in poor health and often gets sick. In late January 1958, she suddenly developed acute appendicitis and needed surgery. Chairman Mao and Jiang Qing were unable to visit the ward like ordinary people, so they wrote a letter to their daughter to encourage her. The letter is full of concern and love for children is beyond words. After Li Ne went to college, she encountered a three-year difficult period and often couldn't eat enough in school. Li Yinqiao After learning about it, he arbitrarily asked the guard to give her a pack of cookies, but he was severely criticized by Chairman Mao. After that, the guards no longer dared to give Li Na anything.
Every Sunday, Li Ne can take the bus home for dinner. Because she is growing up and can’t eat enough at school, she eats voraciously after she gets home. Whenever this happened, Jiang Qing and Chairman Mao ate a little symbolically, then put down their chopsticks, and soon the food on the table was swept away by Li Ne. After graduating from college, Li Ne entered the newspaper to work. In order to allow her to receive exercise, Chairman Mao asked Li Na to work at the May 7th Cadre School in Jiangxi.
During the 57 cadre school labor, Li Na met a waiter named Xu Ning and slowly developed feelings for her. Jiang Qing strongly opposed this marriage, believing that the two were much different in all aspects and lacked the basis for living together. But Li Ne liked Xu Ning very much at that time, so she asked her father for help. Chairman Mao had no idea and immediately agreed. In hindsight, Jiang Qing’s view on this matter is still very accurate. A few years after the marriage, Li Na and Xu Ning divorced due to differences in interests, experiences and living habits.
After the divorce, Li Na took her children back to Beijing and lived an ordinary life. After entering Qincheng, Jiang Qing missed her daughter very much, so she proposed to let Li Na see her. Qincheng quickly notified Li Na. Not long after, Li Ne came to Qincheng by bus with daily necessities. Jiang Qing was very happy when she saw her daughter and kept asking questions. The mother and daughter said a lot of intimate words. After learning that Li Ne was having a difficult life with her children, Jiang Qing encouraged her daughter to find another companion.
Later, after the introduction of Li Yinqiao and his wife, Li Na and Wang Jingqing, who had served as Chairman Mao’s guard. After marriage, Li Ne and his wife came to Qincheng together. Jiang Qing was very satisfied with Wang Jingqing and said to him: "You have been the chairman's guard, and I believe you will definitely be nice to Li Ne." As it turns out, Wang Jingqing is indeed very good to Li Ne. In 1984, due to poor health, Jiang Qing was released on medical parole by and moved into a two-story building near Jiuxianqiao, Beijing. There was also a female nurse who specialized in taking care of her.
On February 15, 1991, Jiang Qing was sent to a public security hospital for treatment due to a high fever. On the hospitalization form, she wrote the three words "Li Runqing". This name has a deep meaning. "Run" is the character used by Chairman Mao in his early years (Runzhi), "Li" is Jiang Qing's surname (Li Yunhe), and "Qing" is Jiang Qing's "Qing". Jiang Qing used this to express his nostalgia for Chairman Mao. On March 18, Jiang Qing's high fever subsided, but a problem was found in her throat. She was transferred to a "one-set ward" for hospitalization, which included a bedroom, bathroom and living room.
Jiang Qing has always been reluctant to undergo throat surgery, and his body is becoming weaker. At this time, she missed Chairman Mao even more. She had Chairman Mao’s handwriting on her pillow, and had Chairman Mao’s badge on her chest. She was placed on the bedside table with photos of her and Chairman Mao walking in the morning at Zhongnanhai . When the Qingming Festival was approaching, she made a request to go to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall on on Tiananmen Square, and asked Li Na to bring a roll of white paper to the hospital, and she wanted to make a wreath. Both requests were eventually rejected.
On May 12, Li Na and her husband came to the hospital to visit, but Jiang Qing refused to meet them. Two days later, Jiang Qing committed suicide at the age of 77. While sorting out the relics, people found Jiang Qing wrote this sentence in the newspaper: "Chairman, I love you! Your students and soldiers are here to see you. Jiang Qing's word ""On May 18, Jiang Qing's body was cremated. Before committing suicide, she left a last wish, hoping to bury her ashes in her hometown Zhucheng .
But after careful consideration, Li Na did not do as he did, but put his mother's ashes in his home. She later said: There were still many people who hated her mother at that time, and she could not go back to guard the tomb. If her mother's ashes were buried in her hometown, there would be a risk of being smashed. For this reason, she stored her mother's ashes in her home. 12 years later, with the approval of relevant departments, Li Na paid out of his own pocket and spent tens of thousands of yuan to place his mother's ashes in Futian Cemetery in Xishan, Beijing. The monument was engraved with "The Tomb of His Mother Li Yunhe."
