Under the leadership of the first generation of central leadership collective with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core, New Democratic Revolution achieved great victory. Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, after decades of armed struggle, countless revolutionary martyrs have made fearless sacrifices for the establishment of the New China. Some people have shined for the development of the New China through their own efforts.
This includes the children of the first generation of leaders of the New China who suffered a lot during the war. After the founding of New China , they contributed their own efforts. Some children sacrificed their young life for the birth and development of New China; some children did their best for the development of a certain field of New China; some children became ordinary people for some historical reasons, but they still shone at the grassroots level. Today, let’s talk about how the children of the first generation of national leaders in New China struggled.
The first army to enter North Korea - Mao Anying
Mao Anying was the eldest son of Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui, born in 1922. When he was five years old, his father led the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops to Jinggangshan , and his mother took him and two younger brothers to stay in Bancang, Changsha. When he was eight years old, his mother was unfortunately arrested and died bravely. Because the white terror in Changsha is quite serious, the safety of Mao Anying and his brothers was also threatened. The second uncle Mao Zemin took the three brothers to Shanghai and arranged to live in kindergarten.
But this kind of stable life has not been long before, my younger brother Mao Anyong suffered from dysentery and died of illness. Then the head of the Shanghai underground party organ Gu Shunzhang betrayed, causing the Shanghai underground party organ to be destroyed, and Mao Anying's kindergarten was forced to disband. After several twists and turns, the two brothers slept on the road, sold newspapers, mopped the floor for people, and searched for rags in the trash bin to earn a few small money. It was not until 1936 that Mao Anying and his younger brother Mao Anying were found by the underground party, and they were transferred to Paris, France through Shanghai, and were eventually accepted by the Soviet government to the International Children's Home.
Mao Anying is smart, studious, brave and tenacious, and loves military, politics, and current affairs. He is the best among his peers in the children's home, elementary and middle school years. He served as the captain of the Young Pioneers, the secretary of the Youth League branch, and the member of the Lenin Youth League District. He is often invited to various places to give reports. In 1941, the Soviet-German War broke out.
Mao Anying once again proved his military literacy and his ability to judge and analyze the situation of the war to the Soviets, and was specially recruited by Marshal Manuilsky to study in a military school. After graduating from the military academy, Mao Anying was awarded the rank of lieutenant and was ordered to serve as the instructor of the Tank Company of the First Front of Belarus. On the battlefield of artillery fire, Mao Anying commanded the battle and advanced rapidly, commanding the tank company to rush into the German capital Berlin .
The war ended, Stalin cordially met Mao Anying at White House and gave him a pistol as a memorial. It can be said that because of Mao Anying's heroic battle, Stalin's friendlyness to our country has reached a higher level.
It was not until 1945 that Mao Anying returned to Yan'an. When Mao Zedong heard that his son was coming back, he immediately went to the airport to wait. Seeing his son wearing a well-built military uniform walk off the plane, Mao Zedong walked up excitedly, held Mao Anying's hands and said, "You have grown so tall!" Since then, Mao Anying, who had been separated for eighteen years, finally returned to his father.
1950 Korean War broke out. In less than twenty days, the Korean People's Army launched four battles and won a complete victory. Kim Il-sung issued an order on August 15: "August will be the month for the complete liberation of North Korea's territory." After preparation, the Korean People's Army launched the fifth offensive campaign on August 31.
However, the enemy concentrated its superior forces and, with the support of the navy, air force and artillery, launched a fierce tug-of-war with the Korean People's Army and entered a stalemate. At this moment, the US military suddenly landed in in Incheon, attacking the rear of the People's Army, causing the situation to reverse the war and burned the war all the way to the northeastern border of our country, seriously threatening our territorial security. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has been closely following the situation in North Korea and has issued statements on many occasions condemning the US aggression against North Korea.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Anying was transferred back to work in the Beijing Machinery Factory and could return home frequently. In his spare time, he often helped the Secretary-General translate telegrams with the Soviet Union, and he knew that the volunteer army was about to enter North Korea to fight, and he also knew that the Soviet Union was not planning to send troops. Seeing that his father's brows were always frowning and meetings with other leaders to discuss the expedition to North Korea, Mao Anying immediately submitted an application to his father and the Party Central Committee to join the Volunteer Army.
Mao Zedong supported his son to join the Volunteer Army. He believed that his son was very proud of his ability to have such awareness. His son went to the Korean battlefield and could drive the morale of the soldiers of the entire army. Their parents would be willing to let their children go. At the same time, his son could grow up in a difficult combat environment. So Chairman Mao agreed with great satisfaction that his son would go to North Korea.
After hearing Mao Anying signed up for the Volunteer Army, Peng Dehuai asked him the reasons for joining the Volunteer Army. Mao Anying answered lightly and solemnly: "Because I am the chairman's son, I should take the lead in going to the front line!" After hearing this, Peng Dehuai patted his shoulder and said to : "I am a hero, a hero, you are the first soldier in the North Korea!"
In the Volunteer Army Headquarters, Mao Anying hid his real name. Only Peng Dehuai knew his identity and served as his Russian translator and confidential secretary. Because he did not have much translation work, Mao Anying also had to participate in the office's rotation duty and live in an independent house near the headquarters. Mr. Peng is very considerate to the office staff, especially Mao Anying, and has repeatedly asked An Ying to have dinner with him.
An Ying is unwilling to be special. It is the same meal for Peng Dehuai. It is better for him to eat with people in the office. Mao Anying was very easy-going and respected by the people in the headquarters. But no one would have thought that the person who died in enemy plane bombing only 34 days after entering North Korea was the chairman's son. Everyone was choked when they heard the news.
Especially after hearing the news of his son's death, the smoke in his hand trembled constantly, and tears couldn't stop spinning in his eyes. He was silent for a long time, and said to Zhou En, who came to deliver the letter, "There will definitely be sacrifices in war. If my son of Mao Zedong is sacrificed, the son of others can save his life!"
html far away in Taiwan Chiang Kai-shek was stunned when he heard that Mao Zedong's son died on the Korean battlefield. He turned his head to his son Chiang Ching-kuo and said, "I really didn't expect Mao Zedong to send his son to the Korean battlefield and was killed by American bombers!" He began to understand that he did not lose to the Communist Party because of weapons or strategy, but that the Communist Party's spirit of sacrifice and dedication was too strong.
Mao Anying has never been specialized because of his father's position. Even after his sacrifice, his corpse remained on the battlefield and remained in North Korea with all the sacrificed soldiers.
Some people asked, why is Mao Anying the only son of the first generation leader of the New China going to North Korea, and why do other leaders not send their sons? What I want to tell him is that Mao Anying was born in 1922, and was only 28 years old when he was . Some of the other leaders got married and had children late. When they arrived at the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, their children were not yet adult. Some leaders' children had already died or were disabled before the founding of the country. For example, Premier Zhou and General Peng had no children in their lives.
Although the children of other leaders did not sacrifice as vigorously as Mao Anying, they also did not enjoy the convenience brought by their parents. They also made a lot of efforts for the New China and also worked hard through their own efforts. Next, let’s learn about the children of other first-generation leaders of New China.
Zhu De's children
Mr. Zhu can be regarded as a legendary life and only had two children. The fate of these two children did not seem smooth sailing because of their father's achievements, and they even suffered a lot of hardships.
Zhu De's eldest son Zhu Qi was born in 1917. His childhood experience was similar to Mao Anying. His mother passed away when she was less than three years old. In his childhood memory, his father was just a vague concept, and he grew up as he stumbling. It was not until 1937 that when 20-year-old Zhu Qi was arrested by the Kuomintang and the second time he cooperated with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he accidentally met his father for the first time. Zhu De was naturally excited when he saw his son, but he did not take much care of him and always demanded him severely.
Zhu Qi was sent to the Central Party School by his father, and then directly to the anti-Japanese front in North China. When participating in the battle, Zhu Qi was accidentally shot and suffered a lifelong disability in his leg, so he could only stay in the rear troops to work. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu De called Zhu Qi to him and said, "Our country is now vigorously developing railway construction. There is an urgent shortage of train drivers. I hope you can learn to drive trains."
Zhu Qi followed his father's advice, resolutely gave up his identity as a regiment-level cadre, and volunteered to go to Shijiazhuang Railway Bureau to learn slowly from the bottom. With Zhu Qi's diligence and studious, he quickly became a train driver. He was low-key when he was a train driver, and no one in the crew knew that he was the son of President Zhu.
When he gave birth to his daughter Zhu Min in 1926, President Zhu was already forty years old and had a son in his old age. He loved this daughter very much, but due to the severe domestic revolution, he could only bear the pain and leave his wife and daughter. Unexpectedly, fourteen years passed after this separation. He could not imagine that Zhu Min's mother abandoned her daughter and remarried to others when she was a few months old. It was a miracle that her daughter could survive in that war-torn era.
Not long after he met his father, Zhu Min was arranged to study in the Soviet Union. Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Patriotic War broke out. The summer camp where Zhu Min was located was captured by the Germans and she was arrested into the concentration camp. Faced with the concentration camp covered by the breath of death, Zhu Min met her father again in order to live. She was afraid that she would reveal her identity when she communicated with others. She persisted in the concentration camp for three years by pretending to be deaf and dumb. Even though the pustules that grew from her neck were cut off by the German devils without any anesthesia, she endured the severe pain with her extraordinary will and survived, and finally waited for the moment of rescue.
After returning from the Soviet Union, Zhu Min has been working as a teacher at Normal University . He has not received special treatment because of his father's status. He lives in an ordinary teacher's dormitory for several people, and has a meager salary. He has been very low-key all his life.

or above are the situations of several children of the first generation of leaders of the New China I listed. Due to time constraints, I cannot write down the situations of the children of more than 30 first generation leaders. However, these children have one thing in common with Mao Anying, that is, most of them suffer from war, and their father has never indulged in enjoyment and lost their goals after his success or fame. Every child relies on his own efforts to make his own world.
They are distributed in different fields such as military, politics, scientific research, and business. They are very outstanding in the industry and contribute their own strength to the development of New China. Judging from the results, they did not disappoint their father's expectations and did not insult their reputation. They are the veritable second generation of reds!
