As the fourth generation descendant of the Mao family, Li Li Although Li Li is not a direct relative of Chairman Mao, her grandfather Mao Zemin is Chairman Mao’s younger brother, so she naturally became Chairman Mao’s granddaughter . Li Li's father is Mao Yuanxin, and her mother is an ordinary female worker named Quanxiufeng .
Li Li's growth experience was very bumpy since childhood. Because of a disease, she caused deafness in both ears. However, with her own efforts, she achieved considerable results in the field of art. In addition, many people are very curious about why Li Li is not named "Mao". also needs to start with the growth experience of his father Mao Yuanxin.
1. Personal experience of father Mao Yuanxin
Under the influence of his brother Mao Zedong, Mao Zemin also devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, but unfortunately, because of the traitors in the party, Mao Zemin, who was only 47 years old, died in 1943. In the following three years, Mao Yuanxin, who was less than 3 years old, and his mother Zhu Danhua lived under the surveillance of the enemy. Only after rescued them were regained their freedom.

After the founding of New China , Mao Yuanxin came to Beijing, recognized his uncle Chairman Mao, and stayed with him to live. In 1965, Mao Yuanxin, who wanted to go to the countryside to carry out the "Four Cleanups" movement, changed his name to "Li Shi" at the suggestion of his uncle. This was mainly because Chairman Mao once had the pseudonym Li Desheng, so like Li Min and Li Na, Mao Yuanxin had a new name "Li Shi".
Later, Mao Yuanxin was admitted to Harbin Military Industry . When he graduated, he decided to officially change his name to "Li Shi", so he used this name when he was working in the army. Mao Yuanxin, who successfully completed his studies, married a female worker named Quan Xiufeng. Five years later, Quan Xiufeng gave birth to a girl. The child was named Li Li with Mao Yuanxin's pseudonym.
During that special period, Mao Yuanxin did something wrong, which led to him being quarantined and interrogated in 1976, and then being imprisoned, gradually fading out of people's horizon. Even when his daughter was born, Mao Yuanxin did not have the chance to see her daughter with his own eyes.

Because of her husband, Quan Xiufeng was also under the organization's scrutiny, which led to Li Li who had just been born and could only be entrusted to others to raise her, so Li Li suffered a lot when she was a child. So what caused her to become deaf in both ears?
2. A disease caused deafness in both ears
When Li Li was less than one year old, she gave birth to a very serious disease. At that time, her parents were not around, and Li Li, who was still in her infancy, had a persistent high fever. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor used a large dose of penicillin to reduce the fever, which caused her to deafness in both ears, and became a disabled person.
Not long after, Li Li's mother ended the review. When she learned about her daughter's experience, Quan Xiufeng, as a mother, was in pain. At that time, she hoped that her husband could be with her and carefully cared for them. In fact, Mao Yuanxin, who was serving his sentence in prison, never thought so.

Since she had never seen her father since she was a child, Li Li couldn't feel the existence of fatherly love in her childhood. Every time her mother took her to prison to visit her father, she felt an extra strange feeling. Because Li Li was indifferent because she couldn't hear the sound and could not communicate with the outside world, Mao Yuanxin was very guilty of this and always felt that she owed her daughter too much.
In 1989, Mao Yuanxin walked out of Qincheng Prison. The moment he saw his wife and daughter, he burst into tears. After that, the family of three lived in a small bungalow. Although the living conditions in were difficult, the whole family was reunited.
Since she had never been with her father before, Li Li was particularly resistant to her father from the bottom of her heart. She had been hiding from her father for a long time. In addition, she was deaf in both ears, so it was even more difficult to communicate between the father and daughter. Fortunately, Mao Yuanxin tried his best to get in touch with his daughter, and gradually his attitude towards him changed, and the interaction between the two gradually increased.
3. With her efforts, she has become an artist
0. Mao Yuanxin and his wife have always regarded Li Li as the pearl in the family. As she grew up, Li Li, who has become beautiful and generous, has slowly emerged from her inferiority complex with her parents.

In order to let his daughter learn a skill, Mao Yuanxin began to cultivate Li Li's painting ability. In this process, the relationship between the father and daughter was getting closer and closer, but Li Li seemed to have found the goal and direction of her life struggle.
Through day-to-day practice, Li Li's painting skills have improved greatly. Through her own efforts, she was admitted to the college education class of the School of Fine Arts of Shanghai University. Later, she also participated in the junior college to undergraduate exam and entered the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University . In school, Li Li has always been the hardest-working one in the class, and her painting skills have improved greatly.
With the development of the Internet, Li Li came into contact with computers. While learning new technologies, she still did not forget to improve her professional abilities. Although Li Li can't feel the world of sound, she found her own fun in the process of painting. After graduating from college, Li Li not only got a good job, but also had a very happy family.

In the silent world, Li Li conquered the world with the brush in her hand. Because of her superb painting skills, everyone calls her an artist. She has always insisted on shining in the field of art.
Conclusion
Although Li Li is in her forties now, her beauty has not been covered by time. With persistence and hard work, she found her own life and painted a colorful picture. Such quality is worth learning from.
