Yang Kaihui suffered severe torture in prison for several days, but she never revealed targeted information about the revolution. Seeing that Yang Kaihui was so hard, the Kuomintang spies felt that it was too inappropriate to kill her directly.

But Yang Kaihui said:

"I want me to break off my relationship with Mao Zedong unless the sea is gone. I am not willing to die. I hope Runzhi's revolutionary cause can succeed as soon as possible."

Mao Zemin did not disappoint his brother's entrusted and brought all of Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui's three sons to Shanghai, and sent them to "Datong Kindergarten" in Shanghai. Datong Kindergarten was a school that was opened by Dong Jianwu, an underground party member at the time, who sold assets (sponsored by Soong Ching Ling ). I thought these three children could live a stable life, but a disease (some say it is dysentery ) took away the life of the third child Mao Anlong .

Confidentiality incident about Mao Anying

1931, a major event occurred within the Communist Party, which also brought about earth-shaking changes in the lives of Mao Anying and Mao Anying. At that time, the second-ranked figure of the Communist Party’s Shanghai Special Corps, Gu Shunzhang was arrested and betrayed . He explained a large number of comrades’ information and contact information, which immediately pushed many underground organizations working in Shanghai to the edge of the cliff.

Zhou Enlai, Chen Geng, who were working in Shanghai at that time, and later Wang Ming , were all implicated because of this matter. Chen Geng was even arrested by Chiang Kai-shek because of Gu Shunzhang's betrayal. Fortunately, he saved Chiang Kai-shek's life earlier and returned safely with the mediation of many parties.

Chen Geng once saved Chiang Kai-shek's life

But more Communists were not as lucky as Chen Geng. They were killed directly or indirectly by Gu Shunzhang, such as Cai Hesen , Yun Daiying , etc., all because Gu Shunzhang passed away early.

In addition, Gu Shunzhang was implicated after being arrested. Because those underground party members who were not exposed were worried that the children of the martyrs in the kindergarten would be arrested under Gu Shunzhang's confession, they could only close the kindergarten and send the children away. At that time, the person who picked Mao Anying and Mao Anying away was Dong Jianwu of the Central Special Section of , and , an old party member who participated in the revolution very early, and is very trustworthy.

, it’s a pity that it’s not long after, Dong Jianwu was about to be transferred from Shanghai due to work needs. He was inconvenient to take care of his two children, and he thought for a long time and entrusted his two children to his ex-wife Huang Huiguang. At first, Huang Huiguang was quite good to her two children, but as the party organization was transferred, Dong Jianwu also broke off contact with her. Huang Huiguang, who lost financial support, gradually changed his attitude towards Mao Anying and Mao Anying. In addition, the family conditions are indeed not good, and it is common for the two brothers to starve and freeze.

The two of them have been wandering for almost half a year, picking up leftovers, picking up rags, and helping people push rickshaws . The two brothers have done basically everything except stealing and robbing.

The streets of the Republic of China

At this time, Dong Jianwu also learned about the disappearance of Chairman Mao’s two sons. He was angry and anxious and had to find some reliable people to find these two children, so Xu Qiang and Li Yun were ordered to come to Shanghai. Li Yun only knew that the two children he was looking for , one was 14 years old and the other was 11 years old. She had a Hunan accent, and she didn't know anything about .

And his husband Xu Qiang knew that he was looking for Chairman Mao’s two sons, but he had to keep this secret. One more person knows, one more danger, and even his wife cannot tell him.

Although the task of "secretly looking for two children" can be completed at this time, Li Yun still wants to know the children's identities.

During this period, Mao Xinyu also developed a strong curiosity about his father and uncle Mao Anying's childhood events. After inquiring from multiple sources, he learned that Li Yun had performed a "confidential task" about his father and uncle, so he found a way to find out where Li Yun was and rushed to listen to the elder telling the story of the past.

Under Li Yun's story, Mao Xinyu learned a lot about his father and uncle's experience when he was young. He was very grateful to Li Yun and others for their efforts and sacrifices to protect their father and uncle.

Finally, Mao Xinyu couldn't help but say to Li Yun "You are the benefactor of our Mao family."

But Li Yun shook his head and said: "This is a task assigned to me by the organization, and there is no credit for it."

The revolutionaries of that era not only had faith in their hearts, but also had strict requirements for themselves. For example, Li Yun has absolutely "secretly said" about what happened decades ago. If the central chief had not informed her that the confidentiality period of the incident had passed, perhaps she would have made the same choice as her husband: to bring this secret into the dust.
