On June 25, 1959, the vicinity of Shaoshanchong, Xiangtan, Hunan, was surrounded by people, some of whom looked at the highway from time to time, as if waiting for something. Approaching the evening, a silver-gray Soviet-made Jim car appeared on the highway and drove slowly towards this side, and the crowd suddenly began to commotion.
When the car was parked, a burly, kind-faced man came out from inside. He was no one else. It was Mao Zedong who promised "unsuccessful revolution and never hometown" thirty-two years ago.
At that time, he was already the chairman of the People’s Republic of China. He not only led the peasants to become the masters of the country, but also had his own farmland. He also abolished a series of feudal evils in the old society and liberated a large number of people.
The scenery of my hometown has been very different from when I left last time. A lot of rice has been planted in the fields. At a glance, it was green and green. Chairman Mao couldn't help being happy when he saw such a bumper harvest.
accompanied Chairman Mao, Public Security Minister Luo Ruiqing, the first secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee Zhou Xiaozhou, and the deputy governor of Hunan Province and the first secretary of the Xiangtan Prefectural Party Committee Hua Guofeng, they strolled outside. For a period of time, I talked a lot before returning to the guest house in the dark.
At that time everyone thought it was just an ordinary visit to the village, until Chairman Mao walked towards the back mountain on the 26th...
Jianhua to sacrifice his parents _h1span 6
At around 5 am on the 26th, Chairman Mao had already got up and packed up. He left the Shaoshan Guest House by himself. The guard on duty saw the situation and quickly notified the others.
When everyone arrived, Chairman Mao had already arrived at the Xiejiawuchang on the opposite side of ,Then he walked straight into the home of Mao Xiasheng, a local poor farmer.
At that time, every household was cooking, and there were not many people in the house who were really busy. It was Mao Xiasheng’s wife who saw Chairman Mao first. Suddenly seeing the person in the portrait appear in front of her, she was both surprised and happy, and tension and restraint were inevitable between her speech.
During the conversation, Chairman Mao still didn't forget to understand the life of the grassroots people. After briefly understanding Mao Fengxia's family situation and some production and farming issues, he got up and left and walked straight to the back hill where the land was washed.
At that time, a group of people followed Chairman Mao, and they did not know what he was going to do, so they followed him every step of the way.
At that time, the people were busy with farming and few people went up the mountain, so that the mountains were covered with lush bushes and grass. But Chairman Mao didn't take these weeds to heart. He walked up the mountain with his familiarity, while reminiscing about his childhood growing up here.
According to the old people who watched Chairman Mao grow up, when he was a child, Mao Zedong often led the cattle up the mountains to chop wood. When the cattle were full and the firewood was chopped a lot, they could go home to eat. Sometimes there are some Castanopsis , Mao chestnut and other fruits on the mountain. He will pick up a lot of them, and then wait to go down the mountain and distribute them to everyone.
But now that the situation has changed, Chairman Mao is no longer the innocent kid back then. He is holding a cow while chopping firewood and picking fruits. So why is he coming to Houshan today?
At this moment, the accompanying staff member Mao Jisheng suddenly flashed in his mind, and quickly said: "Chairman, this is going to give his parents a grave?" At that time Chairman Mao's parents were buried in the land Chongnanzhutuo, and then went on. You can see it after a short walk.
When Mao Jisheng notified Luo Ruiqing and other leaders of this incident,Everyone fell into embarrassment for a moment. Because the incident happened suddenly, they didn't prepare anything, and there was only a few steps before the second old grave, and there was no time to order. How can this be good? Fortunately, Shen Tongji, the leader of Mao Zedong's guard team, picked some pine branches and wild flowers on the spot, and then tied them together with wild grass, barely making a bunch of "flowers."
At this time, Chairman Mao had already reached the top of the mountain and stopped in front of a small weedy grave. This is the joint tomb of Chairman Mao's parents.
At this time, Shen Tong walked around from behind, preparing to let the guards put the flowers in front of the grave. But the flower was only halfway there, and was picked up by the solemn Mao Zedong, and then gently placed in front of the grave. In a solemn and solemn atmosphere, Chairman Mao bowed deeply three times, whispering some words in his mouth. The people on the side could not hear him, but they all stood quietly behind him and bowed together.
Mao Zedong pays homage to his parents
Actually this is not the first time Mao Zedong has returned to his hometown. Compared with this visit to the hometown, what impressed him the most was probably the first time he returned to Shaoshan When punching .
Once back to his hometown, separated from his mother
In 1909, in order to get out of Shaoshan and see the wider world outside, the young Mao Zedong tried every means to convince his father, and finally managed to escape the apprenticeship in a rice shop in Xiangtan For his destiny, he went to the Dongshan High School in Xiangxiang to study.
No one would have thought that he left this time with the heart of "swearing not to be repaid". In order not to inherit his father's business, he used a poem by Takamori Saigo in Japan to make "Poem for Father" , Quietly clipped in his father's account book, as a final farewell gift.
Just like this song "The child is determined to go out of his hometown, and he will not be repaid if he fails to learn. Why not bury the bones?"There is no green hill everywhere in life", it is said that after leaving his hometown, Mao Zedong was studying while busy with the revolutionary cause.
In October 1919, Mao Zedong was busy with the expulsion movement in Changsha. At that time, he was running between school and society.
At this critical juncture, he accidentally received a letter from his second brother Mao Zemin. As soon as he saw the words his mother was critically ill, his brain was completely blank. The younger brother Mao Zetan from Changsha went home.
They travel day and night, and sometimes they don’t even care about food, but even so, when he got home, his mother was gone. He couldn’t see his mother for the last time. Mao Zedong felt very heartbroken. Thinking back to his mother’s cordial face in the past, he felt like a knife, and then wrote the "Memories of Sacrifice" with tears as a way of mourning.
Actually, looking at it now, Mao Zedong’s parents are both It is the kind of very traditional Chinese parents. When Mao Zedong was a child, he accepted more of his mother’s gentle and gentle thoughts, which made him more tolerant, which also created his strong ability to accept. It can be seen in the eulogy written by his mother. When talking with Snow in 1936, he greatly appreciated his mother’s generosity and pitiful character.

In late August 1920, Mao Zedong returned to Shaoshan again after he arranged things properly. The first thing he did was to bury his parents together. As for why he did this , That’s because Mao Zedong’s father died of illness at the beginning of the year shortly after his mother’s death. There was a rule in his hometown that after his parents passed away, if the eldest son did not return, he could not be buried.
just like before As said, Mao Zedong at that time had been busy driving the Zhang movement, so he did not return, so that his father’s coffin from the death to his return home in August,He has stopped on his own Shaigu Ping for 7 months without entering the soil.
After the victory of the expulsion movement, Mao Zedong hurried home, just in time for the Zhongyuan Festival on August 28.
The customs of the Mid-Yuan Festival in various places are not all the same. According to the local rules in Shaoshan, "accepting guests" will begin on the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, which means that the ancestors will be worshipped at home for three or four days.
Mao Zedong’s parents have just passed away. This is the first Zhongyuan Festival of their "death of immortals". Therefore, Weiwei is also called "Xinke", which is a major event for the Mao family. So Mao Zedong returned to Shaoshan a day earlier.
He first "takes" his parents home to support, and waits until the seventh fifteenth day of the lunar calendar to "send away". After doing this, he buried his parents in Nanzhutuo opposite the Shangwuchang. Mao's descendants can see the "dwellings" of their ancestors at their doorsteps.
I have visited the enlightenment teacher
After finishing this, immediately afterwards, Mao Zedong came to his grandmother's house to visit the seventh uncle's condition. Not long ago, his cousin Wen Yunchang sent him a letter saying that Uncle Qi is very ill and may not stay in this world for long. In his serious illness, Uncle Qi had been talking about Mao Zedong, the most promising nephew, so his cousin hoped that he could take time to come back to see Uncle Qi, but the old man's wish was met.
Mao Zedong has always respected the elders in this family. First, Wen Yurui, the seventh uncle, was born there. Another point is related to his childhood.
Mao Zedong spent his childhood at his grandmother's house, so he often received care from his uncle and aunt, and Wen Yurui took this little nephew as his own child to raise. Later, when Mao Zedong grew up, Wen Yurui also became his enlightenment teacher and taught him a lot of knowledge. The reason why Mao Zedong was able to leave home from Shaoshan to Dongshan to study in the past,A lot of his help behind it. When he was a child, Mao Zedong's father once moved him to give up his studies and work to earn money. It was Wen Yurui who came to persuade him to continue his studies.
When I saw Wen Yurui, the other party was very groggy and could no longer speak normally, but fortunately, not long after Mao Zedong arrived, the old man's consciousness was sober for a while. Although there was no talk between the two people, it was surpassed a thousand words, and it could be regarded as a part of Wen Yurui's thoughts.
Later, as he got in touch with more and more communist secretaries, Mao Zedong began to persuade people around him to join the revolution, because he knew that relying on the strength of a few people is not enough, and more people are needed to participate. Only by coming in and resisting together can the enemy be driven out.
Mao Zedong is with the masses
Leading the whole family into the revolution, building everyone
The Spring Festival of 1921 was the day when the family reunited, and before returning home, Mao Zedong had decided to persuade And guide the younger brothers and sisters on the road of revolution.
At this time, Mao Zedong had been deeply influenced by Marxism, and he had read many books related to communism, and established and strengthened his belief.
So on the ninth night of the first lunar month, when the family was gathering for warmth, Mao Zedong found and started to make a living with his younger brothers and sisters. He said that everything is impermanent and life is difficult. People’s sufferings should be given up for the sake of everyone and for the people.”
This statement was approved by many people, but unlike Mao Zedong’s struggle for revolution, they didn’t know how to fight. Thinking about this, Mao Zemin raised his doubts. In this regard, Mao Zedong suggested to him: "You can clean up your home and study with me in Changsha, how about it?"Facing his brother's suggestion, Mao Zemin hesitated for a while: "This is a bit too sudden. Our ancestors have saved too many industries and assets for generations, so we have to make good calculations. We can't let them lose in the hands of our generation.
Mao Zedong disagrees with this. The most urgent task now is to devote himself to saving the nation and restoring peace to the country. So for Mao Zemin’s consideration, his idea is very simple: "Give the house and the land to the peasants. As for the accounts, all the discounts that can be discounted, we don’t need what others owe us, and we owe them to others. , If we lose our small home and build a family, why not do it?"
Mao Zemin thought about it all night, and early the next morning, he braved the cold wind to go to his pond, More than a dozen big fish were caught, except for Mao Zedong’s trip, most of the remaining fish were to be given to neighbors.
After the reunion dinner, Mao Zedong took Mao Zetan back to Changsha, one focused on revolutionary cause and the other focused on reading.
Less than a week after they left, Mao Zemin started to take action. He first followed the instructions of his elder brother to arrange all the affairs of the family, and then bid farewell to his wife and daughter at home and came to Changsha. Doing school affairs at the Provincial Normal School Affiliated Primary School, and later contacted Mao Zedong to participate in the revolution.
is not only the man in the family, but also the younger sister Mao Zejian and Mao Zedong have made proper arrangements in accordance with the mother's wishes. Mao Zejian had an arranged marriage of "parents' orders", but she was not satisfied. After all, the nature of arranged marriages was not something that two young people could get, so Mao Zedong helped her formally dissolve her marriage with Xiao. The marriage contract at home.
Mao Zejian, who regained his freedom soon, followed his eldest brother to Changsha, and under Mao Zedong's arrangement, he entered Changsha Vocational Girls' Middle School. During her studies, she continued to be exposed to progressive ideas, coupled with the influence of her elder brother, and soon after, he also plunged into the vigorous revolutionary torrent.
Under Mao Zedong's persuasion and influence, his family all participated in the revolution and became the pillars of the revolution.
Later, the revolutionary trend intensified and more and more people participated. In January 1927, Mao Zedong served as an alternate member of the Kuomintang Central Committee. During this period, more and more peasants united and launched a peasant movement under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party to overthrow the landlords and the country gentry and transform themselves into the masters of the land.
It was in this situation that Mao Zedong returned to Shaoshan again, began to investigate the peasant movement in his hometown, and answered various criticisms against the peasant movement. Because at that time the peasant movement faced not only the landlord and country gentry, but also the feudal system of China for thousands of years. Before this, no one had thought of setting those landlord bullies as enemies. Therefore, although many people had hope for the future direction of the peasant movement, many of them were still anxious.
and Mao Zedong’s arrival gave them this confidence. After the inspection, two months later, Mao Zedong wrote the famous "Hunan Peasant Movement Investigation Report", which opened the "rural surrounding the city". Page.
When Mao Zedong was about to leave, the villagers showed their reluctance and asked him when he would return. A peasant movement gave the people land in their hands and their backbone. Therefore, they hoped that Mao Zedong would lead the villagers to drive away the wicked and make Shaoshan stronger and stronger.
However, the power of Shaoshan and Hunan still has certain limitations. After experiencing new ideas and revolutions, Mao Zedong felt that only by overthrowing feudalism, imperialism, and warlordism, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and China is the real one. Only when Hunan is strong can it develop steadily.
So he made a promise to his fellow villagers: "It will take decades to overthrow imperialism and feudalism.The 30-year revolution was unsuccessful, and I, Mao Runzhi, refused to come back to see the folks. "
This has been 32 years. During this time, Mao Zedong provoked the burden of the revolution and made up his mind to overthrow the "three mountains" that were weighing on the people.
precisely because of this. Mao Zedong’s command and guidance and the slow expansion of local peasant regimes caused dissatisfaction with the local authorities and even aroused the hatred of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
Mao Zedong and the officers and soldiers of the Red Army
The uprising was hated, and the villagers wisely guarded the ancestral grave
In September 1927, Mao Zedong launched the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi, which shocked the whole country. This frightened the Hunan warlord He Jian, but they could not catch Mao Zedong, so they had to send a company of troops. In Shaoshan, I tried to dig the graves of Mao Zedong’s parents to vent and destroy the Feng Shui of Mao’s ancestor’s grave. , The people in the village have received his favor more or less, how willing to tell this group of people.
But you don’t tell, I don’t tell. It’s hard to guarantee that this group of bandits will do anything. It hurt the nature and reason, so a poor peasant who had participated in the peasant association stood up and laughed while bringing the bandit company commander up the mountain.
When he reached a grave, he pointed to one of the graves and said, "This is Mao Zedong." Parent's grave.
As soon as his voice fell off, a group of bandits swarmed up with shovels, and soon tossed the tomb. They also dragged the coffin out, shook out the bones inside, and made a fuss for a while before returning their hands. Camp. After the matter, the warlords were very happy. They thought they had dug the graves of Mao Zedong’s parents.
At this moment, the poor peasant is also very happy, because he deceived the warlord with the tomb of a landlord's ancestor. He breathed a sigh of relief and saved the tomb of Mao Zedong's parents. Later, the enemy knew that he had been fooled, and he came several times, but was fooled by the villagers.
Just as the people in the village were fighting against the Kuomintang reactionaries, Mao Zedong also led the Chinese Communist Party to fight around to fight against warlord forces. While propagating the peasant movement, emancipating the mind, and calling on everyone to resist, it evoked considerable repercussions.
Although the Chiang Kai-shek government unified the forces of warlords and united them, as soon as the Anti-Japanese War ended, Chiang Kai-shek himself was the first to sit still, revealing his true face as a speculator. He first swept up other warlord forces vigorously, and then began to attack the Communist Party of China where Mao Zedong was located. At this point, the civil war broke out.
As mentioned earlier, the warlords lost their hearts and minds. Mao Zedong took the "rural siege of the city" as the core of the battle, and believed in the support of the common people, and soon defeated the Kuomintang army. Finally had to retreat to Taiwan. However, although the central figure of the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, there were still many enemy agents in the mainland, and it took three years to eliminate them.
By 1959, the People's Republic of China has been established for 10 years. Not only has the national structure been basically stable, but the social order has also tended to be peaceful. So, after 32 years, Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan and went to the grave for his parents. This was the beginning of the scene.
On that day, Chairman Mao stood quietly in front of his parents’ burial grave, performed a simple worship, and then returned along the hillside covered with thatch , and the others followed silently.
because the small tomb bag is covered tightly with weeds,It looked very bleak, so Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't help but whispered: "Chairman, do you want to repair the grave?" But who knows that Chairman Mao slowly said: "Don’t fix it, just keep it as it is."
No one else knows, but Mao Zedong knows in his heart that now his parents’ graves can still lie in Nanzhutuo as before. To a large extent, it is the credit of the folks in the village.
In order to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from destroying his parents’ tombs, the Mao clan and poor peasants in Shaoshan tried various ways and risked their lives to fight the Kuomintang reactionaries. During these two decades of bloody storms, many people’s tombs were dug up, and the bones of the deceased were thrown everywhere, but the graves of Mao Zedong’s parents were safe and sound, and they have been preserved to this day.
Today, for Mao Zedong, this grave is not only a small grave buried in the bones of his parents, but also a sign of the unity of the common people, the trust of the Chinese Communist Party, and the victory of the revolution.
After all, the gorgeousness of redecoration can never compare to the simplest heart.
Chairman Mao worships in front of his parents’ grave
Although it is said that going down the mountain is easier than going up the mountain, but after tossing back and forth, Mao Zedong has already sweated. The staff saw it and quickly handed over the sweaty boy. Towels and a black paper fan.
This fan was bought at the Wangzi Fan Factory in the early years. Mao Zedong liked it very much. It has become a must-have item when going out in the summer. Even if electric fans and air conditioners were installed in the special train cars later, he would still hold this fan.
As soon as he took the fan, Chairman Mao saw Li Wengui who was busy making soil and fertilizer on the fire.He shook the fan and stretched out his hand. This time, Li Wengui was "scared", because he never dreamed that Chairman Mao would appear at his door. He hurried forward and wanted to shake hands with the chairman, but as soon as he reached out half of his hand, he saw that he was full of hands. Looking at the clean hands of the chairman, he began to hesitate.
Seeing Li Wengui's concerns, Chairman Mao smiled and walked forward two steps, then directly took his hand, the expression on his face was so calm and sincere, which moved people.
As the old saying goes, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." Perhaps it was the deep friendship between Chairman Mao and the poor peasants that led to victory and peace.
