Chinese civilization has gone through five thousand years, and the cannons of the great powers have knocked down the door of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, China has entered modern times. To this day, socialist modernization is near. The reason why young people can have such a brilliant future is because many patriots who have succeeded in giving up their families, relatives, and their lives to devote themselves to the revolution.
They sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, shed their blood, did not fear power, fought bravely, and even contributed all their strength to the rejuvenation of the nation with their relatives and friends. Chairman Mao is such a person. The country of the Republic will never change color, and he is the leader who lets this redness stick to the end.
Chairman Mao
On the road of the revolution, the Mao family, who are related to Chairman Mao, have been following him. After he became the leader of the country, he never forgot the elders and villagers of Shaoshan because of his high position. Even when he was seriously ill, he still called Li Min to her and told her that there were two very important uncles in her hometown who were often in poor health and could not eat, so she must go and visit her.
With his father's explanation, Li Min often went back to Shaoshan to take care of his uncles. So who are Li Min’s two uncles? Did they play such a role in the revolution?

Mao’s family is full of loyalty and wise
“The east is red, the sun rises, China has produced a Mao Zedong.” Chairman Mao is a great Marxist, a staunch revolutionary of the proletariat, and a pioneer of the Chinese revolution. As a pioneer and leader, Chairman Mao not only led the way to the revolution and disrupted the situation, but also led his family to the road to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
After the victory of the war, only a very small number of Chairman Mao's family survived. It can be said that the Mao family is full of loyal and fierce, and they are always worthy of the memories of the revolutionary descendants. Also as Chairman Mao’s close relative, he naturally could not forget him. So when Chairman Mao was dying, he still called his daughter to him and asked her to go to Shaoshan to visit his uncles more. They all left disabilities and illnesses in the process of the revolution, so they must not be forgotten.
Chairman Mao and Li Na
Chairman Mao is so concerned about them, not only because they are in poor health, but also because they are also firm proletarian soldiers, and it is necessary to provide pension and care for them. Moreover, when Chairman Mao left the revolution, he received close support from the Mao family.
Shaoshan is the hometown of Chairman Mao and is also the resident place of the rich Mao family. Many people with the surname Mao are native farmers there. Although Chairman Mao is not a landlord at home, he is also a rich peasant. But Chairman Mao never did nothing because his living environment was slightly superior to others. Instead, he had been caring about the lives of poor farmers and tenant farmers, hoping to establish a good social system to improve the living environment of farmers and workers.
at that time Chiang Kai-shek was representing the Zhejiang consortium on the Chinese political stage. He never established his achievements for the people, ordinary people or other oppressed people, nor did he establish the will and confidence to serve the people. He has been working as a dictator for decades to exploit people from all over the world and plunder people's wealth to the squandering of the big landlords represented by him.
Chiang Kai-shek
The difference is that Chairman Mao has been stumbling all the way, and since he was young, he has set his original intention of serving the people. He has been floating and ups along the way, and after many storms, he has pulled up the Zhumao Red Army with one hand, and led the vast masses from the countryside to the city, surrounded the city from the countryside, and finally led the People's Liberation Army soldiers to sweep away the warlords and bandits from all over the countryside and establish a new China.
From the beginning of the first Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1921 to his death in 1976, Chairman Mao has been moving forward with difficulty and running around for 55 years.Not only those revolutionary patriots, but also his brothers and sisters, and even his wife and children have become tiny dust in the wheel of history.
In 1929, the Northern Expedition failed, and the Chinese revolution entered the most difficult time. Chairman Mao’s sister Mao Zejian died. She was only 24 years old at that time. 24 is the age of a woman, and it is also the moment when a woman's youth is blooming. However, her sister fell on the road to New China. Chairman Mao heard this bad news and said nothing.
Mao Zejian
Because although Mao Zejian is the daughter of his uncle, she has been raised by Chairman Mao’s mother since childhood. Although she is not a biological child, she is better than her biological child. The brother and sister have spent a lot of happy time, and now they are separated from their sister forever, so Chairman Mao naturally feels so heartbroken that it is difficult to add up.
Revolution was difficult. In the second year after his sister Mao Zejian's death, Chairman Mao's favorite wife Yang Kaihui also fell under the enemy's butcher's knife. At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries asked Yang Kaihui to leave the party organization and announced their divorce from Chairman Mao. However, the steadfast Ms. Yang Kaihui still spoke righteously and scolded them for betraying the country and massacre of comrades when the enemy was hanging their necks.
Even if the knife and axe are used, even if the pain is unbearable, Ms. Yang Kaihui is firmly protecting her husband's cause and the cause of the Communist Party of China. Later, the enemy tied her children to prison and watched their mother be tortured with their own eyes. Even so tragic, Yang Kaihui did not lower her head to the enemy, and in the end the enemy had no choice but to kill him cruelly.
Yang Kaihui and her child
The departure of his wife has become an incurable injury in Chairman Mao’s heart. You should know that when his mentor Yang Changji promised his daughter Yang Kaihui to himself, Chairman Mao patted his chest and said that he would protect her. Now Yang Kaihui refused to be humiliated and killed in order to protect the reputation of the Chinese revolution and the Communist Party of China. This greatly affected Chairman Mao’s body and heart.
The sister has left, and his wife died at the gun of the enemy again. Chairman Mao’s inner anger is beyond words.
But the revolution is not about treating guests to dinner. Even after these two great women passed away, the Mao family's loyal and severing death of the country never stopped. In 1935, Chairman Mao's biological brother Mao Zetan died, and he was only 30 years old that year.
Mao Zetan
In order to protect the party organization and for the revolutionary cause of China, Mao Zetan still resolutely slaughtered his neck, and his family left one by one, but Chairman Mao's pace could not stop. He must take the souls of his relatives and friends on a lonely and passionate path.
The two cousins of the Mao family
In addition to the departure of these close relatives, the deaths of other relatives and friends also made Chairman Mao unbearable.
943, Chairman Mao's younger brother died in the border areas. He was only 47 years old at that time. In 1946, his nephew Mao Chuxiong died. He was the youngest of the martyrs sacrificed for the revolution by the Mao family, and he was only in his teens. Both of these martyrs fell on the eve of dawn and failed to see the founding of New China, which became a severe pain in Chairman Mao’s heart. But in addition to these people, there are two other Mao family members who joined the revolution.
Chairman Mao has two cousins, one is Mao Zelian and the other is Mao Zerong. Mao Zelian is more than 20 years younger than Chairman Mao, and Mao Zelian is Mao Zejian's younger brother and has a very close relationship with Chairman Mao.
Mao Zelian
When Chairman Mao was still a young man, Mao Zelian followed Chairman Mao and called in a childish voice, "Third Brother, Third Brother". Although this little cousin is very young, Chairman Mao can see that he is very smart and smart. Compared with Mao Zerong's straightforwardness and perseverance, Mao Zelian seems more playful and clever.
When Chairman Mao went out for the revolution, his wife Yang Kaihui took her children to open a peasant night school in Shaoshan. At that time, Mao Zelian was just 13 years old. Although he didn't know what the night school was, he was also trying his best to help Yang Kaihui run up and down.
Later Mao Zelian also took the initiative to be the correspondent for Chairman Mao, and took all the children in Shaoshan area to participate in the local children's league meetings for the party organizations and to detect enemy movements.
Chairman Mao
Once, news of Chairman Mao returning home reached the Kuomintang warlords. The leader of the warlord Zhao Hengti wanted to secretly send someone to Shaoshan to capture Chairman Mao. At that time, Mao Zelian stood at the door and stood guard. Just when he saw some people carrying guns coming to his hometown, he immediately coughed in the house, so Chairman Mao was able to escape and ascend to heaven.
Although the relationship between Chairman Mao and Mao Zerong is not as close as Mao Zelian, Mao Zerong also contributed to the Chinese revolution. After Chairman Mao joined the revolution, Mao Zerong followed closely, but the Kuomintang reactionaries carried out strict pursuit of him. Mao Zerong had to change his name and wander around in a foreign country to make a living.
Zhao Hengti
During the wandering days, Mao Zerong did not dare to return to his hometown nor did he dare to show his identity. He has always hoped that a party organization could accept him. Later, when the National Anti-Japanese National United Front was established in 1937, Mao Zerong returned to Shaoshan and joined the revolution again.
Due to physical reasons, Mao Zerong did not join the party organization, and Mao Zelian did not make great contributions to the party organization because of his eye injury. Although the two brothers are not in good health, they are still active in Shaoshan and do logistics for everyone.
It was not until Changsha and Xiangtan that the two brothers Mao Zelian and Mao Zerong contacted Chairman Mao. At that time, they were very excited when they saw Chairman Mao’s letter, and Mao Zelian immediately stated that he wanted to go to Beijing to meet Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao’s instructions to Li Min
Because the Mao family is full of loyalty and martyrs, some relatives have also died in the revolution. Therefore, Chairman Mao attached great importance to the two brothers. In September 1949, Mao Zelian went to Beijing to visit Chairman Mao. Even though the two had not met in 322 years, they had never been unfamiliar with the two because of time.
"Third Brother!" Although Mao Zelian was blind in his left eye, he left deep tears as soon as he saw Chairman Mao and called out "Third Brother". When Chairman Mao saw his younger brother look like this, he anxiously asked him how bad his eyes had deteriorated.
Although Mao Ze waved his hands repeatedly, Chairman Mao could feel that his younger brother was unwilling to say too much in order to avoid suspicion. He then arranged for Mao Zelian to stay in a hotel in Beijing. Within two or three months, Chairman Mao sent his younger brother to the hospital for treatment at his own expense.
Mao Zelian
However, Mao Zelian's eye disease has been around for a long time. The medical and health conditions at that time could no longer completely cure it, so Mao Zelian was still blind in one eye. Chairman Mao felt very guilty when he didn't help his younger brother in this regard. Just when Mao Zelian proposed to return to Shaoshan, Chairman Mao sincerely reminded him: "Runfa, if there are any difficulties at home in the future, don't go to the local Shaoshan government for big and small matters. Everyone knows that you are my relative. If the villagers have you, you will definitely be able to take our Shaoshan to a higher level. Just contact me if you have something to do. I still have some royalties here, so you can take them home."
After hearing what my brother said, the clever Mao Zelian immediately felt Chairman Mao's painstaking efforts. He bowed deeply to his brother with the allowances and royalties given to him by Chairman Mao.
1953, Mao Zerong, because he missed Chairman Mao very much, took the initiative to write a letter to Zhongnanhai . He also wanted to come to Beijing to see Chairman Mao. After the letter was sent out, Mao Zerong looked forward to it with great difficulty. Unfortunately, Chairman Mao did not mention the request to come to Beijing in the reply letter to him, which made Mao Zerong a little unhappy.

But he didn't feel much emotional, because he knew that Chairman Mao was the leader of the people of the whole country. If he asked this to go to Beijing today and that to Beijing tomorrow, wouldn't it be a mess? But just when he was lost, Chairman Mao’s letter made him smile again.
Chairman Mao wrote in his reply to him that Zhongnanhai has sent a doctor to Shaoshan to help him see a doctor. After the treatment, the two of them can come to Beijing together. With this letter, Mao Zerong was happy to look forward to the arrival of the doctor. In July 1953, Mao Zerong and the doctor came to Beijing and met Chairman Mao who had been away for a long time.
is different from Mao Zelian. Although the relationship between Chairman Mao and Mao Zerong is not particularly deep, Mao Zerong has one of the biggest advantages that Chairman Mao likes very much, that is, He is outspoken and . Chairman Mao can usually learn a lot of development situations in Shaoshan through Mao Zerong's mouth.

In the years that followed, Mao Zerong went to Beijing five times, and he was always to report on the development status of the grassroots as Chairman Mao’s assistant. His ability was recognized by Chairman Mao.
Even in September 1960, when Mao Zerong met Chairman Mao, he reported all the unreasonable and wrong behaviors of grassroots cadres and party members. For example, social cadres falsely reported production, superstitious feudalism and other behaviors were all told to Chairman Mao. It is precisely because of Mao Zerong's supervision that Chairman Mao understood the voices of front-line people and the development of grassroots.
Chairman Mao and his fellow villagers
In September 1976, Chairman Mao felt a little uncomfortable, and the pain in his body made him very difficult. Even so, he still called Li Min to his side and repeatedly told him to go back to his hometown to visit his two uncles at home. He also said that Mao Zerong was honest and blunt, and he must let him act carefully and not do whatever he wanted. Mao Zelian had bad eyes and must take care of him. If he was blind, his life would be completely a problem.
Later, Chairman Mao passed away, and Li Min often returned to Shaoshan to visit people in his hometown according to his father's last wish. Later, many descendants of the Mao family continued to contribute to the construction and development of the country in their respective positions. The Mao family represented by Chairman Mao were all pioneers of the Chinese revolution.
