On October 13, 2006, Liu Shaoqi's wife Wang Guangmei passed away. At the memorial service, Chairman Mao's daughter Li Na shed tears on the spot and cried until she fainted.
Wang Guangmei has great love and is kind to others. Her relatives and friends are also present, reluctant to part with her. Among them, Li Na and her relationship is even more profound.
Li Na
At that time, when Li Na's son Wang Xiaozhi saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother. Wang Guangmei's son Liu Yuan also hurriedly helped Li Na sit down and rest.
Li Na wiped his tears, and while holding Liu Yuan's hand, he said to Wang Xiaozhi: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, stay here for a few days and help your Uncle Liu Yuan take care of everything about the funeral."
Why did Wang Guangmei form such a deep friendship with Li Na? What kind of strong personality charm does Wang Guangmei have?
Wang Guangmei and her son Liu Yuan
revolutionary love of talented women
In the early morning of October 13, 2006, in Beijing Hospital , Wang Guangmei died peacefully under the care of her children. At the memorial service of
, all relatives and friends were present, and everyone was crying. From then on, they lost a sincere friend and a loving elder.
Li Na staggered over with the help of his son, crying heart-wrenchingly. What flashed through his mind was how Wang Guangmei helped her orphans and widows to spend the most difficult time in her orphans and widows.
Li Na was too sad and almost fainted. Seeing this, Liu Yuan rushed forward to express condolences. Li Na forced himself to cheer up. held his son Wang Xiaozhi's hand and said: "Child, stay here to help Uncle Liu Yuan handle the funeral."
Li Na and Liu Yuan
Wang Xiaozhi also liked Grandma Wang Guangmei and agreed repeatedly. At a critical moment, the descendants of Mao and Liu families really followed Wang Guangmei's teachings during their lifetime, helped each other and fell in love with each other.
Wang Guangmei is the descendant of a famous family. Her father, Wang Zhichang, is a top student at Waseda University. After returning to China, he once became an important figure in the domestic economy.
1921, Wang Zhichang's wife Dong Jie , gave birth to a daughter - Wang Guangmei. And Dong Jieru is also an intellectual with a wealthy family.
Wang Guangmei has many brothers and sisters, and Dong Jieru is the wife of Xuxian. In addition to her biological brothers and sisters, including the children of her ex-wife, there are 11 children in the family.
Wang Zhichang
Dong Jieru is kind, knowledgeable and well-educated, and treats every child as her own. She always takes good care of herself and teaches patiently, and gives them gentleness and love.
Wang Guangmei took everything in her eyes. Since she was a child, she has learned to be gentle, kind and tolerant of these beautiful qualities. At a young age, she understood that "all things will be prosperous for harmony in the family."
In that old society with material scarcity and turbulent situation, Wang Guangmei's parents insisted on letting their daughter receive education.
Wang Guangmei is talented and has shown Zhuo Qun's science talent at a young age. She is recognized as the "mathematics king" in key middle schools in Peking.
Wang Guangmei in her girls
Later, when Wang Guangmei graduated from her master's degree, The physics departments of two world-renowned universities in the United States both sent invitations to her.
If she continues to work hard in the field of physics, a great female physicist may emerge in China, but Wang Guangmei took the initiative to choose to become a great female revolutionary.
As the saying goes, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." The domestic situation is becoming more and more turbulent, and the feelings of family and country in the hearts of scholars have been awakened. Wang Guangmei is eager to make some contribution to the country.
At this moment, the underground party in Peking extended an olive branch to Wang Guangmei.
At the beginning of 1946, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China were in arbitrage. In order to mediate the two-party issues, the Communist Party of China, the Kuomintang, and the United States established a mediation team in , Peking , and named the "Peking Military Mediation Department".
However, the CCP urgently lacks English translation, and Wang Guangmei, who is about to study in the United States, is the best candidate for translators.
Between academic and revolution, Wang Guangmei thought about it over and over again, and finally firmly chose to join the revolution. In order to make all children educated, Wang Guangmei took the lead and sacrificed her studies first.
In October 1946, civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke out. Wang Guangmei was transferred to Yan'an to be responsible for the foreign affairs work of the CPC Central Committee.
The old leader of the foreign affairs group is Zhu De. One day, after the work, General Zhu said to Wang Guangmei: "You have just come here and are young. Let's go and take you around, familiar with people and environment."
This time, he moved to Liu Shaoqi next door.
This is the first time Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei meet. The two just shook hands, exchanged a few simple greetings, and did not communicate too much.
But in fact, Liu Shaoqi has been attracted by Wang Guangmei's intellectual ladylike temperament. In "On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members", his knowledge, experience, thoughts and writing style also made Wang Guangmei admire him.
Liu Shaoqi
The beginning of revolutionary feelings mostly comes from admiration and worship.
Liu Shaoqi is already a mature old revolutionary. He often gives Wang Guangmei guidance and help in the revolutionary cause and leads her towards progress.
As the contacts increase, the two of them become more and more confident in each other's character and revolutionary will. With the same intentions, they get married.
On August 21, 1948, Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei officially got married.
After marriage, the couple followed each other and were inseparable from each other. Wang Guangmei took office at the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and became Liu Shaoqi's secretary.
Whether in work or life, whether as a wife or secretary, Wang Guangmei strives for perfection and is beyond reproach.
Liu Shaoqi is often obsessed with work and forgets to eat and sleep. Wang Guangmei personally arranges three meals a day at home, which combines meat and vegetables, and is nutritious.
Liu Shaoqi is used to working at night, so Wang Guangmei stayed up late with her husband, added tea and clothes to prepare fruits for late night snacks.
The couple often talked around the fire at night, discussing current affairs together. Wang Guangmei's rich knowledge can always help Liu Shaoqi find another way and solve problems.
The couple still maintain the habit of walking after dinner. The two of them hold hands, walking and talking, and for decades. At the dance party of
Zhongnanhai , the first dance and the last dance were also the couple hugging the mandarin dance, which was unmoved. Even Chairman Mao praised the deep love between the couple.
Wang Guangmei is not only a good wife, but also a good mother.
After marriage, Wang Guangmei gave birth to four children for Liu Shaoqi, and the few children born by Liu Shaoqi's ex-wife, the family was lively and there were more than a dozen people.
Liu Shaoqi's family
Wang Guangmei always takes her mother Dong Jieru as an example, remembering that "all family is harmonious and everything is prosperous". As the mother of the family, Wang Guangmei regards the children born to her ex-wife as her own and loves them very much.
Although they are not biological mothers, these children are moved by Wang Guangmei's kindness and sincerity, and their name is changed from "Wang Mama" to "Mom".
Liu Shaoqi saw his wife's efforts and was grateful in his heart:
"The harmony of the family is not only the harmony between me and you, but also the harmony between you and your children. Thanks to you, this family can be filled with laughter."
For the country, Wang Guangmei reluctantly gave up her personal achievements, devoted herself to the revolution, and fought side by side with her husband; for her family, Wang Guangmei gave her sincerity and treated her husband and every child sincerely.
It is not difficult to see that Wang Guangmei has a strong personality charm. She not only warms her small family with a kind heart, but also allows the children to learn to be kind and be lenient to others.
Wang Guangmei sets an example and passes on the beautiful quality of "gentleness" from generation to generation to benefit future generations.
The head of the revolutionary family
On November 12, 1969, Liu Shaoqi passed away.He left a wish during his lifetime:
"After I die, please scatter my ashes into the sea, like Engels. The sea is connected to the five oceans, and I want to watch the whole world realize communism."
Wang Guangmei took Liu Shaoqi's ashes
until May 19, 1980, the widow Wang Guangmei, accompanied by her children, scattered her husband's ashes into the sea and got her long-cherished wish.
Since then, Wang Guangmei has been the only parent of this revolutionary family. Time flies, she gradually moves into her twilight years, and the children have grown up.
Wang Guangmei often recalls the glorious years of the past, and often misses her old comrades who fight side by side, and maintains the friendship between revolutionary families with all her heart.
Wang Guangmei educates her children:
"Your father is gone, I am old, and you are growing up. You young people should move more and help more. The friendship between the revolutionary family cannot be broken."
Wang Guangmei cares about the children of her comrades like a loving mother. In her heart, the children of the revolutionary family are also their own children, and she even reminds her son Liu Yuan and daughter Liu Tingting to communicate more with the revolutionary descendants.
Among them, what Wang Guangmei is most concerned about is Chairman Mao’s daughter Li Na.
At this time, Li Na had entered middle age and had just experienced a failed marriage. She rented a house with her children alone.
Chairman Mao and his daughter Li Na
Li Na’s husband is a switcher at Shanhaiguan Railway Station . His surname is Xu. Although he has not been to college, he is kind and enthusiastic, hardworking, hardworking and simple. Li Na fell in love with him at first sight.
The public opinion at that time was not optimistic about this relationship. It was because Li Na insisted on writing a letter to his father Mao Zedong and applying for marriage under tremendous pressure.
Chairman Mao has a broad mind and feels that the working people are not inferior to the children of high-ranking officials. then approved his daughter's marriage application and also gave a set of "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels" to the couple as wedding gifts.
Li Na
One year after marriage, Li Na had a son named Xu Xiaoning. However, as the understanding deepened, the conflict between the couple gradually became prominent.
Li Na received higher education since childhood, and was influenced by her father Mao Zedong. She loved poetry and literature and often couldn't put it down. , but her husband Xiao Xu had a headache when he saw the book. The couple had no common topics and could not communicate.
Over time, it is inevitable that the relationship between husband and wife will break down. In the end, Li Na divorced her husband and the child will be raised by Li Na.
In October 1976, Li Na moved to a small courtyard in the western suburbs of Beijing. His salary was meager and he was in poor health. He had to shoulder the responsibility of raising children.
Chairman Mao and Li Na
In order to save expenses, there are only two thin blanks at home; the daily expense budget is only enough to buy one cent of meat; when it is even more difficult, you even have to sell used books for subsidies.
Not to mention that when people reach middle age, minor illnesses and pains swept over, and they also have to buy medicine to treat the disease, which makes life even worse.
The revolutionary friendship between Mao and Liu families has become stronger and stronger over time. Liu Shaoqi is an old comrade-in-arms who accompanied Mao Zedong to work hard and fight side by side. The friendship between the two families has lasted for half a century.
Li Na is also Wang Guangmei's growing up child. In this situation, Wang Guangmei is sincerely distressed. She often goes with Li Na when she is free, helping her with housework, buying vegetables and cooking, and picking up and dropping off the children.
Seeing that Li Na was in a sluggish mood, she knew that she had not yet gotten out of the trough of divorce. Wang Guangmei often took Li Na for a walk and chat to untie her heart.
This made Li Ne feel warm and deeply moved. With the help of Wang Guangmei, Li Ne's life gradually gained a sense of fireworks and gradually regained her confidence in life.
Li Na
That's it. While Wang Guangmei was in charge of Li Na in every life, she secretly helped her find a marriage partner, just like a mother, helping her children pay attention to those who are worthy of entrusting.
Under Wang Guangmei's arrangement, Li Yinqiao Han Guixin and his wife really thought of someone - Wang Jingqing.
Li Yinqiao is Chairman Mao’s chief guard, and Li Na is also the child he watched as he grew up. Out of the care of his elders, Li Yinqiao and Han Guixin matched Li Na and introduced Wang Jingqing.
Wang Jingqing is ten years older than Li Na. He worked in the Central Guard Regiment and was later transferred to Yunnan as Chief of Staff of the Military Region. He has a high cultural level and political awareness, is down-to-earth, knows how to handle housework, and falls in love with Li Na at first sight.
Li Na and Wang Jingqing
The two have been dating for a while and they both feel very good. In 1985, Wang Jingqing and Li Na got married, and lived a happy and peaceful life after marriage, and gave birth to another son, Wang Xiaozhi.
Speaking of which, Wang Jingqing also has some fate with Wang Guangmei. Wang Jingqing was once Liu Shaoqi's guard, and he was also Wang Guangmei's old subordinate.
Wang Guangmei knew this person, with a strong character, a down-to-earth and reliable person. She knew that Li Na had this good son-in-law. was extremely happy and held Han Guixin's hand and thanked him: "It's great! You did a good thing for Li Na!"
In the summer of 2004, Wang Guangmei, who had always been in simplicity and acted in a low-key manner, actually offered to hold a banquet. ordered his son Liu Yuan to He said:
"Please invite Li Min, Li Na's family to have a meal. The children have their own homes and fewer meetings. Let's get together. You can just go and do it. Don't bother the secretary, and don't tell others." On the night of the dinner, Liu Yuan, as the host, waited in the banquet hall very early to welcome guests. Then Li Min and his daughter arrived first. After a while, the three of Li Na's family also arrived as scheduled.
Liu Yuan warmly welcomed the two sisters and chatted with Li Min and Li Na sisters. In a happy atmosphere, 83-year-old Wang Guangmei walked into the banquet scene with the help of her daughter Liu Tingting.
A room full of juniors immediately stood up to greet him. Li Min and Li Na sisters held Wang Guangmei's hand. was so excited that they were about to cry. Wang Xiaozhi shouted sweetly: "Hello Grandma Wang!"
Wang Guangmei stroked Xiaozhi's head, smiling, and was very relieved. Then she sat down and shared a banquet. During the meal, laughter and laughter were constantly, warm and peaceful.
The banquet is coming to an end, and Wang Guangmei said:
"I am the only elder in these two families. You are my children and grandchildren. If you are all well, I can rest assured."
The children are grateful and said that they will help each other and fall in love with each other in the future, and will never let the friendship of the revolutionary family be indifferent.
Not only that, Wang Guangmei is not only the "mother" of the revolutionary family, but also brings the warmth of mother to the people.
"Mom Wang" in the hearts of poor mothers
Wang Guangmei started a major project that benefits the country and the people - " Happiness Project ", aiming to help poor mothers across the country.
In the 1990s, the material conditions were far inferior to those in the current 1990s, many families had not yet escaped poverty, and mothers from poor families were even more an easily overlooked group.
For a family, the importance of mothers is self-evident. Most mothers in poor families are not educated and do not have rich medical resources. Many mothers are dragging their sick body to take care of their families.
Wang Guangmei has great love, pays attention to people's livelihood, and focuses on the vulnerable group " Poor Mothers ", and is determined to help them get out of the predicament.
For more than 10 years since 1995, Wang Guangmei has visited and investigated remote and poor areas many times despite her old body. Hearing the call for help from her vulnerable mother, he established the "Happiness Project" and helped countless families get out of the predicament.
Wang Guangmei visited poor families
During the period, Wang Guangmei also auctioned all the antiques collected in the Song and Qing dynasties left to him by his mother during her lifetime, and donated all the more than 500,000 yuan of income to the project to help the poor mother.
Some relatives and friends dissuaded them and said, "You can't sell it, you can't sell it! Not to mention that these antiques are all treasures, even if you look at your mother's affection, you can't sell it anymore."
The sentence "
talks about Wang Guangmei's pain. These collections are the thoughts left to her by her mother. Wang Guangmei was also reluctant to let go, but then she thought about it and said:
"Using the proceeds from the auction to help more poor mothers is the greatest value of these antiques. My mother is kind and will understand me. "
Inspired by Wang Guangmei's spirit, from cadres to drivers and secretaries around her, including children, grandchildren, and even people at home and abroad, they took the initiative to donate.
"Happiness Project" covers all provinces, cities and counties across the country, providing equipment and medicines to mothers in poor areas for free, helping 154,000 poor families and benefiting more than 800,000 people.
Wang Guangmei spreads love all over the world. In the past decades of hard work for the "Happiness Project", she has been suffering from serious illness and pains, and eventually overwork has become ill and cannot afford to be sick.
On the fourth day after Wang Guangmei's death, China Poverty Alleviation Foundation was officially awarded Wang Guangmei’s “China’s Achievement Award for Eliminating Poverty” is to express her most heartfelt thanks, remembrance and condolences.
Wang Guangmei’s fraternity has a profound impact. Many poor mothers who have been helped have been self-reliant and strengthened, and then extended a helping hand to the vulnerable groups in need, passing on kindness, and living up to the kindness of Wang’s mother.
This person has passed away, but the spirit of great love has remained in the world. Ms. Wang Guangmei’s everything she has done for the revolution, family, younger generations, and society will remain in the hearts of the world.
Pay tribute to Ms. Wang Guangmei!
