Today, let’s review the life of this legendary female general.
Extraordinary achievements in life
Shao Hua has always loved photography. When he was very young, he took a camera to take photos of Chairman Mao, which made the photographers who accompanied him particularly envious:
"You start from now on to take photos of Chairman Mao, how high is this starting point!"
But Chairman Mao also made three rules with Shao Hua - "One is not allowed to wash outside, two is not allowed to publish, three is not allowed to give away people."
Because of these three rules, Shao Hua began to learn the technology of printing photos, and until now, the photos of Chairman Mao she took have not been circulated.
In photography, Shao Hua has achieved outstanding results - her works have been published in newspapers and magazines such as " People's Daily ", "People's Liberation Army Daily", " China Photography News ", etc. Therefore, the China Photographers Association has successively appointed Shao Hua as the chairman of the association.
In terms of literature, Shao Hua also shines brightly; she writes like a god, which is fascinating. Among the works she published, the prose " We Love Shaoshan Red Rhododendron " is the most classic, and every word expresses her longing and admiration for Chairman Mao!
"Father, you have never left the battle for a moment until you passed away in the grief of the whole country!"
's deep nostalgia and respect for Chairman Mao, and the true feelings of the article moved a group of readers, and were also selected into high school textbooks.
Shao Hua participated in the photography of photos
In order to allow people to truly understand and understand Chairman Mao, she has been busy in more than a dozen provinces and cities, just to find and collect real and reliable materials.
Hard work pays off, and the efforts are rewarded - "China has produced a Mao Zedong" was successfully published! The book
is full of Shao Hua's grief and nostalgia for Chairman Mao. Obviously, she regards Chairman Mao as her biological father.
In addition to the extraordinary achievements in career, Shao Hua is also very enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings and pays special attention to poor children in poor areas to help them succeed and complete their careers.
In 2008, Shao Hua was trapped in the hospital bed because of a serious illness and it was difficult for her to get up. However, when she learned that the Wenchuan earthquake in was
, she shed tears and wanted to go to the battlefield in person, but unfortunately she couldn't do it."You must do your best to help the people in the disaster area. Donate money if you can, and give your strength if you should."
Shao Hua held his son's hand in front of the bed and told his son to do his best to donate to Wenchuan . Under Shao Hua's supervision and efforts, the mother and son worked together to donate more than one million to Wenchuan.

Unfortunately, this year, Shao Hua passed away with the world, and was still worried about the situation of the Wenchuan People’s Liberation Army before his death. He left us forever in his worry! What made her extraordinary achievements in her life is closely related to her growth experience!
Red Growth Experience
In October 1938, Shao Hua was born in an inconspicuous courtyard in Yan'an, a holy land of red revolution. Her parents named her Zhang Shaohua, and later published an article with Shao Hua as a pseudonym, and the surrounding people changed their mouths.
Father Chen Zhenya and mother Zhang Wenqiu are both members of the Communist Party of China. In that era, the red family atmosphere destined that Shao Hua's life would be extraordinary and ups and downs.
1939 With her parents under house arrest, in September 1942, warlord Sheng Shicai put her, her parents and more than 160 members of the Communist Party of China in prison, spending four years in prison.
But this difficult childhood not only did not erase Shao Hua's will, but instead made her red spirit more and more courageous.
In the interview, Shao Hua recalled:
"In prison, in order to split us, the enemy took more than a dozen aunts out and beat them with a stick and whip in front of us, but none of us retreated. We smashed the stones and shoes with our friends at the enemy. Suddenly, crying and shouting in the cell sounded... " But this is far from enough,"
Shao Hua continued:
"They took my mother and aunts away, and our children participated in the hunger strike with the adults. Under the pain of losing their mother and the temptation of noodles, we persevered and finally won. The mother and aunts came back."
This prison disaster was not until June 1946, because of the continuous mediation of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, everyone was able to return to Yan'an safely; after arriving in Yan'an, Chairman Mao shook hands with everyone and condolences.
"At that time, everyone lined up in a row to shake hands with Chairman Mao in order,"
recalled this warm experience, and Mr. Shao Hua said:
"Chairman Mao's hand made me feel warm and down-to-earth, making my heart warm. I ran to the last one and wanted to hold it again, but the children all ran with me, but the scene was funny and warm at that time..."

From then on, Shao Hua followed Chairman Mao's footsteps and headed towards the red revolutionary path.
In the days that followed Chairman Mao, followed Communist Party unswervingly walked a red path of her own, and pioneered her own legendary life

"Uncle Mao, I I also want to go to school! "
Chairman Mao looked at Shao Hua in surprise at that time and asked:
"Child, are you not in school now?"
"No, my mother has been taking me around and there is no chance to study"
"You are willing to go to school, okay, don't worry, I'll do this for you." Chairman Mao made a guarantee to Shao Hua.
A few days later, Chairman Mao’s secretary Ye Zilong came to Shao Hua’s home with a letter written by Chairman Mao and told her that she would go to Yuying Primary School to go to school and everything was arranged.
"I am really moved. My father passed away early. I feel that Chairman Mao is really like a father to me. He has been taking care of me and guiding me on the way forward."
Shao Hua expressed his respect and love for Chairman Mao in his heart, but he did not expect it to come true.
A few years later, she had a sweet love of her own and formed a small family of her own. At this time, Chairman Mao really became his father!
Love at first sight
Mao Anying and Mao Anying loved to go to Zhang Wenqiu's house to play when they were young. At that time, Zhang Wenqiu was like treating his own son, caring for the two brothers.
But at that time the situation was turbulent, and stable days were always short-lived. The two families began to be forced to separate. It was not until the founding of New China that Zhang Wenqiu and his family settled in Beijing that their lives were stable.
Children's childhood photos of Mao Anying and Mao Anying
Because my sister and Mao Anying are husband and wife, Shao Hua is often taken to visit Chairman Mao by his mother Zhang Wenqiu. Once, in a chat with Chairman Mao, the novel "Jane Eyre" was mentioned, and talked about the view of love. Slowly, the topic moved to Mao Anying :
"My second child is a person in his thirties. Although I have met many girls, there is no one suitable yet.
Perhaps the listener has the heart, Shao Hua She blushed quietly. Shao Hua had always been curious about this brother who had a relative relationship but had never met before.
In January 1960, because her mother was going to the University of Travel University for recuperation, Shao Hua and her mother came to the University of Travel University with her mother. Here she had her first meeting with Mao Anying who was recuperating.
The mother and daughter came to the hospital to visit Mao Anying. Mao Anying recognized him at first sight. This was Aunt Zhang Wenqiu who had taken care of him, and then she saw Shao Hua following him.
"Hello, Brother Anqing! " The latter stretched out his hand first
" Ah, is this the girl Shao Hua? Hello, hello! " Mao Anqing held Shao Hua's hand tightly and it took a while to let go.
After everyone finished dinner together, the hotel was holding a dance party, and the two of them also participated. Compared with Shao Hua's lively and brisk dance posture, Shao Hua was amused by Mao Anqing's slightly stiff dance posture:
"Okay, okay, let's go and have a rest! "
There was a small episode interspersed in the middle. When the guard was about to end the party, he found that both of them could not find them in the blink of an eye.
At first, he thought they had gone to the bathroom, but after sweating, the guard found that they were in the kitchen and had food that had not been finished for dinner.
Shaohua saw the guard coming, took out his handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the guard, apologizing to the guard, but couldn't help laughing:
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Brother An Qing originally wanted to say hello to you, but I stopped him. This is because... I'm a little greedy and want to steal a few bites of leftover food from supper. How can you say hello to you in advance if you are a "thief"! "
Everyone was amused by Shao Hua's lively personality, which made Mao Anying have a deeper understanding of her liveliness.
Shao Hua spent more than ten days with Mao Anying, the two of them became more and more emotional. Later, in reluctance, Shao Hua returned to Beijing to go to school, and the two began to frequently communicate letters.

In this letter, Chairman Mao asked Mao Anying: "Do you mean to be friends (with Shao Hua)? "This sentence can be regarded as support and affirmation of the relationship between this young man.
This time, when they came to Luda University, the relationship between the two was obviously further. One day, Shao Hua accompanied Mao Anying to a reservoir to fish. Mao Anying was very lucky. A big fish was caught. Shao Hua clapped excitedly.
After getting along for a while, Mao Anying and Shao Hua's marriage was put on the agenda by the elders.
1960, 22-year-old Shao Hua and Mao Anying, who was 15 years older than him, entered the palace of marriage in Dalian with love and respect for each other, and under the blessings of family and friends.
Because of busy official duties, Chairman Mao was unable to attend the wedding of the two in person, but the gift to the newlyweds was brought by someone, a watch and a panda radio. These two gifts have been preserved by the couple until now.

Getting along after marriage and love crystallization
Shortly after getting married, Shao Hua chose to return to school to complete his studies.
But in getting along, there will inevitably be small conflicts between the young couple, and Shao Hua fell ill because of this.
Shao Hua really didn't know what he should do next, so he wrote a letter of help to Chairman Mao, hoping that Chairman Mao might give me some advice.
Chairman Mao’s reply also arrived soon. In the reply, Chairman Mao told her:
"The body is the most important thing. To take good care of the disease, you can never give up on the road to the future; to have less love for your daughter, more masculinity, do a career and contribute to society, don’t let my expectations for you."
After receiving the reply from her father, Shao Hua was very moved, and at the same time he understood what he should do next. So she actively cooperated with the doctor to maintain her body, and did not give up her studies during this period, and did not forget to care for and take care of her husband's body.
According to the organizational arrangement, after Shao Hua successfully graduated from Peking University in 1966, he reported to of the General Staff Department of the Military Commission and carried out his work.
, while Shao Hua was busy with work, while taking good care of his husband. The couple lived a dull and sweet life.
Until 1970, 32-year-old Shao Hua ushered in the crystallization of her love with Mao Anying, and the two of them were full of longing for the upcoming little life.
But life is always bumpy. Shao Hua, an elderly mother, encountered a difficult labor. The hospital reported to Chairman Mao and asked: Which one should I keep?
"Stay everything!" Mao Zedong replied firmly, "Tell the hospital that neither of them can be left behind!"
At that time, Shao Hua realized how important a caesarean section was to the future of women in China.

In order to set an example for future women's fertility, he decisively chose to have a caesarean section. Fortunately, after experiencing a caesarean section, Chairman Mao's only grandson came to this world safely.
Chairman Mao personally named this hard-won grandson, calling him Mao Xinyu, which means: "A new universe and a new world."
Until his old age, the couple still knew each other and loved each other, and lived a peaceful and stable life in the suburbs of Beijing. During this period, Shao Hua still did not give up his photography hobby.
Later, Mao Anying died of illness on March 23, 2007 at the age of 84, and Shao Hua also left us due to illness on June 24, 2008.
There are not so many ups and downs in the love between Mao Anying and Shao Hua. On the contrary, it is so plain and supportive that it is even more enviable and yearning for.
