On the evening of October 14, 1950, Mao Anying, the eldest son of Mao Zedong, went to the hospital to visit his wife Liu Siqi.
Previously, Liu Siqi was hospitalized for appendicitis, and Mao Anying joined the Volunteer Army without consulting her. After that, he will join the Volunteer Army Command as confidential secretary and Russian translator.
That night, Liu Siqi actually felt something unusual. Mao Anying seemed to have a lot to say to her, but he was hesitant to say anything. After
Mao Anying said to his wife: "Tomorrow I'm going on a business trip far away, where communication is inconvenient. If you don't receive my letter, please don't worry, there will be news in a while. "
Liu Siqi felt uneasy, so he asked: "Where are you going? How long are you going to go?"
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi
Mao Anying also put forward three requirements to Liu Siqi: No matter what happens after that, you must finish your studies first, and then go to work. Every week, I go to Zhongnanhai to visit 's father , and take good care of my younger brother Mao Anqing .
Mao Anying's sudden business trip this time made Liu Siqi a little angry, because the next day was their one-year wedding anniversary. Originally, I wanted to celebrate with Mao Anying, but this is a good time, the opportunity is gone all of a sudden.
While saying goodbye, Liu Siqi sent Mao Anying to the door of the hospital, and the two remained silent.
Mao Anying, who was about to leave, knew that this expedition to mission was accompanied by danger, but she still couldn't let Liu Siqi go, so she turned around and bowed deeply and gave Liu Siqi a hug.
Although Liu Siqi was worried, he instinctively felt that this was just an ordinary task.
But what she never thought was that this side turned out to be and . After the farewell, Liu Siqi would never have Mao Anying by his side for the rest of his life.
Mao Anying
Mao Anying is the son of our great Chairman Mao. His real name is Yuanren and the word is Anying.
He is the eldest son of Mao Zedong and his wife Yang Kaihui. Although he is Chairman Mao's son, Mao Anying's life was not easy at all when he was very young. It can even be said that he has experienced the warm and cold of the world and lived a life of displacement for a long time..
When he was 8 years old, he was put in a cell with his mother Yang Kaihui. After
Yang Kaihui was persecuted to death, the underground party arranged for Mao Anying and his two younger brothers to go to Shanghai .
But it didn't take long for the Shanghai stronghold to be destroyed and Mao Anying and his younger brothers had to live on the streets.
In order to survive, he became an apprentice, picked up junk, sold newspapers, and pushed a rickshaw, just so that his brothers could survive.
After that, Mao Anying and his younger brother Mao Anqing were arranged to study in the Soviet Union.
During his studies in the Soviet Union, Mao Anying performed very well, and later he also participated in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union.
The sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. That is to say, after constant efforts and cultivation, Mao Anying overcame many difficulties and finally gained certain skills and achievements.
Among all the children of Chairman Mao's life, Mao Anying was undoubtedly the best one. He is the eldest son of Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui, and he is also the person most influenced by Mao Zedong.
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
In those revolutionary years, Mao Anying always had the heart to serve the country, so he made the decision to go to the front line to resist US aggression and aid Korea at a critical moment.
In fact, we all know that Mao Anying's father was the top leader of the country. Even if he did not join the Volunteer Army at that time, no one would criticize him.
But Mao Anying still took the initiative to ask for help. He said that he was also the son of the people, and it was right for him to go to war for the country. Although Chairman Mao was not worried about his son, but the national disaster was at the forefront, Chairman Mao still encouraged his son to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country.
A soldier to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea
Mao Anying studied in the Soviet Union and returned to Yan'an in 1946. Although he is Chairman Mao's son, he is not arrogant and pampered.
He strictly demanded himself everywhere, and he went deep into the peasant masses and exercised his ability in his work.
Through such tempering, he has become a responsible, knowledgeable and caring person .
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
The marriage of Mao Anying and Liu Siqi
And martyrsLiu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu's daughter Liu Siqi, her union with Mao Anying is also destined by God, they are the childhood sweethearts that everyone admires. Liu Siqi's parents are revolutionary veterans, and they and Chairman Mao are good friends who have known each other for many years.
When Liu Siqi was two years old, Mao Zedong jokingly said to Zhang Wenqiu: " If you think that you are beautiful and considerate, why don't we have a family. "
In fact, this is just a joke of Chairman Mao, but It is this casual sentence that prompted the marriage between Mao Anying and Liu Siqi.
When the two met in 1946, both of them had good feelings for each other.
Mao Anying said: "You lost your father when you were young, and I lost my mother. We are both in the revolutionary era, and we are both two bitter children in the country's difficult times."
The two have similar life experiences, And the relationship between the two is also very good, which makes them an enviable match made in heaven.
On October 15, 1949, Chairman Mao held an wedding for the two of them at home. It is also very simple to do for two people's wedding . Before getting married, Chairman Mao said to the two of them: "No banquets, no gifts."
Chairman Mao's approach is awe-inspiring even today. As a national leader of a generation, he himself took the lead in abiding by the legal system and set an example for the people !
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
On the day Mao Anying got married, Chairman Mao was very happy. His gift to the young couple was a black jacket coat .
This is what he wore when he participated in the Chongqing negotiation and Chiang Kai-shek .
This black jacket means a lot to Chairman Mao. Holding the coat, he smiled and said to his son and daughter-in-law: "I don't have anything valuable for you, this coat is for Anying to wear during the day, and the two of you cover it together at night, both of you have a share. ."
Several relatives and friends who were present laughed when they saw it, but the scene was very warm.

After that, the two lived a happy life for a year.
But the good times didn't last long, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea broke out in the second year.
American people crossed the 38th parallel and started to invade the northeast border of China .
At that time, Mao Anying came forward and asked to join the Chinese People's Volunteers to defend against the US attack.
Before Mao Anying crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea , Liu Siqi underwent appendix surgery in the hospital. In this way, the two separated this time, but neither of them knew that this was the farewell and the last.
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi
In their later years, Liu Siqi recalled: "Our marriage is destined to be only a short one year fate , from October 15, 1949 to October 15, 1950, not a day , a day is not a lot, a whole year. If there is a point of fate, my fate with Mao Anying may only be a short one year..." Boss. Mao Anying worked as a translator, confidential secretary and staff officer at the headquarters of the Volunteer Army. At 11:00 am on November 25th, Mao Anying was processing the battle telegram that had been issued. Suddenly, an American plane bombed the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, and Mao Anying unfortunately passed away.
After Mao Anying's death, Mr. Peng personally wrote to Premier Zhou Enlai, suggesting that Mao Anying's body should be buried in the north of North Korea. After Zhou Enlai received the letter from Mr. Peng, immediately approved "agree with Peng Dehuai's opinion" and sent it to Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping for comments.
Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping both agreed with Mr. Peng's statement. In this way, Mr. Peng's proposal has been approved by the central government .When Mr. Peng returned to China to report his work, he specially reported to Mao Zedong the unfortunate death of Mao Anying and the process of burying his body at the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.
After hearing these words, Chairman Mao felt that Mr. Peng felt a little guilty, so he comforted Mr. Peng: An Ying is a member of the revolutionary martyrs, and you should go back and say that Anying is an ordinary soldier of the Volunteer Army. As for Anying's body, which was not transported back to China, it was buried on the territory of North Korea. of. You guys did it right, well done .
Mao Anying's tomb
Liu Siqi was deeply in grief
After all, it was his son who died. Although Chairman Mao didn't say it, his heart was still very heavy.
But he also knew in his heart that Liu Siqi was the most affected by this incident. After Liu Siqi learned the news of Comrade Mao Anying's death, she fell into very serious grief.
Chairman Mao and Zhang Wenqiu have done a lot of ideological work for Liu Siqi, but they have achieved little.
In order to get Liu Siqi out of the shadows as soon as possible, Mao Zedong sent her to Moscow University in the Soviet Union for further study.
During this period of time, the connection between the two has not been interrupted.
Chairman Mao took great care of her. Chairman Mao regarded Liu Siqi as his own daughter, and Liu Siqi, who was in a foreign country, was also very concerned about Chairman Mao's physical condition.
Chairman Mao also said to Liu Siqi in the letter: "You can make your own decisions when you encounter things."
Chairman Mao never meant to control Liu Siqi's behavior in the name of his parents.He respects Liu Siqi's independent thinking, which reflects a father's love for his daughter, as well as a communist's party spirit and great family love.
During Liu Siqi's studies, Chairman Mao helped Liu Siqi in all aspects.
He wrote to Liu Siqi many times, expressing his views on her study and encouraging her to be independent.
That is, under the care of Chairman Mao, Liu Siqi successfully graduated with his tenacious perseverance and returned from his studies.
Liu Siqi remarried
In 1960, Liu Siqi was 29 years old. At that time, Chairman Mao had already begun to think about her life-long affairs, and wanted her to remarry, so as not to delay her life.
But Liu Siqi's sentiment towards Mao Anying has not changed.
Until later, Chairman Mao personally made a decision and officially talked about Liu Siqi's remarriage, and personally introduced two people to her, but neither of them got on with Liu Siqi.
Later, under the introduction of Liu Zhen, the former Air Force Academy dean, and under the guidance of Chairman Mao, Liu Siqi and the Air Force Academy instructor Yang Maozhi met and fell in love. In February 1962, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi held their wedding .
At that time, Chairman Mao also wrote a poem as a gift and gave Liu Siqi 300 yuan. After Liu Siqi remarried, she did not forget Chairman Mao and often visited Chairman Mao.
And after Liu Siqi got married, she and Yang Maozhi had four children. And in memory of Mao Anying, she named her eldest son Xiaoying. She told her children that Mao Anying will always be our relatives.
Liu Siqi's family portrait
Liu Siqi took the children to pay homage to Mao Anying's death site
Dayudong used to be the headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteers and was where Mao Anying died. Although Liu Siqi has been to North Korea many times after Mao Anying's death, he only visited Mao Anying's grave.
But she has never been to Mao Anying's place of sacrifice.
On May 12, 2006, Liu Siqi was finally taken to Dayudong, North Korea. This time, she took a handful of soil and brought it back to China, which also means that Comrade Mao Anying's soul was brought back to his hometown of his motherland.
This was also the commission of Chairman Mao before his death, and was finally done by Liu Siqi.
Liu Siqi choked and said: "An Ying, today I brought the children to visit your grave. They revere you and miss you. I am old, and I am not the same as I used to be, Anying, once I am old or sick , I can't come to visit your grave again, they will come on my behalf, you will always be their relative."
This is Liu Siqi's fifth visit to North Korea to visit graves, but this is her first time to Dayudong.
Why does she have to come to Dayudong at such an old age? "
Because Mao Anying died on this land, where the love of her lover flows, this place is really profound for her.
Liu Siqi's current situation
On October 30, 2020, Chinese and North Korean artists have jointly created a series of paintings with the theme of "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Volunteer Army's campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
Watching these works, let us not forget the original intention.
These works condense and symbolize the profound friendship between the Chinese and North Korean peoples who fought side by side.
The most notable of these is the Mao Anying sculpture sculpted by North Korean artist Liu Ha Ryu.
Later Liu Siqi
At the opening ceremony of exhibition hall , Liu Siqi, the wife of the martyr Mao Anying, who is over ninety years old, personally unveiled Mao Anying's sculpture.
Liu Siqi kindly said: "In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea , China and North Korea sacrificed tens of thousands of heroes and sons and daughters, Mao Anying is also one of them, he is the pain and pride in my heart forever, I wish China and North Korea two The friendship forged by the people of our country with blood and life is everlasting, and I am very grateful to the artists for fulfilling my wish for many years.”
Concluding remarks
In fact, we can see her feelings for Mao Anying from Liu Siqi: “If you don’t say goodbye to death, you will never live. Leaving." Although they have no fate in this life, they have not spent the rest of their lives together.
But in Liu Siqi's heart, there has always been a place reserved for Mao Anying. She has always loved Mao Anying and has never changed. Maybe this is the most beautiful love in the world !
