Chairman Mao passed away, Mao Anqing failed to die, Mao Xinyu: Dad always missed grandpa

Chairman Mao is a father who is full of love and pain in his heart. His love is vast, and we can feel it from his personality charm and legendary stories, but his deep pain in his heart is not what ordinary people can appreciate.

Chairman Mao hid his pain deep in his heart, like an unfathomable well, deep and lonely. For Mao Anqing, Chairman Mao is both a father and a mother.

Mao Anqing is Chairman Mao’s only son in his later years, and the chairman loves him very deeply. It can be seen from the "Anqing, my dear son" used by Chairman Mao every time he writes to him. .

However, to everyone's surprise, after Chairman Mao's death, his only son did not appear at the funeral. So what happened?

Chairman Mao

Chairman Mao’s exquisite fatherly love

After the August 7th meeting in 1927, Chairman Mao set out from Wuhan as a special commissioner of the CPC Central Committee, preparing to deploy the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and then rate Head to Jinggangshan. While Chairman Mao was fighting against the enemy in Jinggangshan, his wife Yang Kaihui stayed in Changsha with his three children.

In mid-October 1930, Yang Kaihui was unfortunately arrested, and he died bravely on November 14, at the age of 29. Under the arrangement of the underground party organization of the Communist Party of China, the brothers Mao Anying, Mao Anying and Mao Anyong were released on bail and then secretly transferred to Shanghai Datong Kindergarten.

Due to changes in the situation, the three brothers went through a lot of hardships, and the younger brother Mao Anlong unfortunately died of illness. The underground party organization in Shanghai was destroyed in April 1931, and the Datong Kindergarten was also forced to disband. Mao Anying and Mao Anying were placed in Dong Jian’s home, and then moved to their ex-wife Huang Huiguang’s home to stay temporarily.

The living expenses of Mao Anying and Mao Anying in Huang Huiguang’s home,They were all provided by underground party organizations. However, in 1933, the central organ of the Shanghai underground party was transferred to Jiangxi, and the remaining party organization was also destroyed by the enemy, so the supply of living expenses to the Mao Anying brothers was interrupted for a period of time.

At that time, Huang Huiguang was just an ordinary housewife. In addition to Mao Anying and Mao Anying, her family had four children, so life was very difficult. Huang Huiguang would yell at Mao Anying when he was unhappy. Mao Anying and Mao Anying were unbearable to be beaten and scolded. They were forced to live on the streets, selling newspapers all day long.

Mao Anqing

When Mao Anqing learned of the death of his uncle Mao Zetan, he angrily wrote the words "Down with imperialism" on the street. He was also beaten by secret agents, deaf and stayed in both ears. Coming from a concussion.

In order to get rid of the danger and predicament, Dong Jianwu had long wanted to send Mao Anying and Mao Anying to Chairman Mao’s residence in northern Shaanxi, or to send them abroad. Unexpectedly, this opportunity would come soon.

At the beginning of 1936, the Shanghai Party Organization and the Party Central Committee established relations, and the Party Central Committee immediately sent Feng Xuefeng to Shanghai to reorganize the Shanghai Underground Party Organization.

After Feng Xuefeng arrived in Shanghai, he found Dong Jianwu and told him:

"Chairman Mao already knows that the children are safe. Chairman Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou mean that they don’t have to send their children to northern Shaanxi, but to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had promised to accept the orphans of Chinese revolutionary martyrs and the children of the leaders of the Party and the Red Army. Both Kishi and Kiang meet this condition and will send them to the Soviet Union if they have the opportunity."

After a series of preparations At work, Mao Anying and Mao Anying set off from Shanghai on a French mail ship at the end of June 1936 and arrived at the French port of Marseille at about the end of July. Then everyone changed to Paris by train. After arriving in Paris, Yang Chengfang and others went to apply for visas. Unexpectedly, the Soviet Union had very strict controls on foreign nationals at this time, and everyone waited here for a few months.

When Mao Anying and Mao Anying were in the Soviet Union

During the months waiting for their visas, Mao Anying and Mao Anying took the time to learn foreign languages ​​so that they could live here. Soon after, the two brothers Mao Anying entered the International Children's Home run by the Communist International, and they also got in touch with their father. They kept writing letters to his father to express their thoughts, and they also reported on their lives and studies after parting.

Chairman Mao is extremely excited every time he receives a letter from the brothers. He takes time out of his busy schedule to reply to the children and cheer for the brothers. has also sent philosophies many times. Books such as literature, literature, etc., let the brothers not forget to strengthen the study of the cultural knowledge of the motherland in a foreign country.

Someone brought photos of Mao Anying and Mao Anying from the Soviet Union in 1938. Chairman Mao was ill at the time. However, when he saw the pictures of the brothers, he walked around the room excitedly and looked left. Look at the right, the cares and misses from the heart gush out.

Chairman Mao looked at his son's face, and many past events also came to his mind, those difficult years, those unforgettable journeys, those past events of enmity, Chairman Mao was half joy and half guilt. Especially for Mao Anqing, who had suffered severe beatings and head injuries, Chairman Mao felt both distressed and compassionate.

Chairman Mao

Someone is going to the Soviet Union soon. Chairman Mao wrote a trustee to take him away. The letter said:

"Dear Anying and Anqing, I often miss it You also know that your situation is not bad, you are making progress, and I am very happy to receive your photos. I am writing this letter to you now, and I hope you can write to me frequently in the future. I look forward to your letters. . I’m in a better situation now, and I will have the opportunity to write to you in the future."

When living in the Soviet Union, the two brothers made great improvements in their material lives.And Mao Anying and Mao Anying even more understand the hard-won life of peace. Under the leadership of Mao Anying, Mao Anying and his brother studied hard together, worked hard and achieved very good results.

Mao Anying returned to China in January 1946 and reported his brother Mao Anying's life and study to Chairman Mao one by one. Chairman Mao has not been in good health since November 1945. After learning the news of Mao Anying's return to China, he personally went to the airport to pick up his eldest son back home.

Chairman Mao and Mao Anying

Chairman Mao saw his son Mao Anying, who had been away for 19 years. After learning about Mao Anying’s news, he was refreshed and he was more ill. After returning to his residence, he immediately wrote to him. Mao Anqing, who is far away in a foreign country, wrote a letter to his family:

Anqing, my dear son: Anying has returned to China. Dad is very happy to receive your letter. Although you have not been able to return, seeing your brother is like seeing you. I hope you will study hard and return to your country in the future to better serve the people. In addition, your sister Li Ne also greets you. She is now five and a half years old, and she will send you two paper-cuts.

You can see from Chairman Mao’s address to Mao Anqing, that he has a deep affection for this long-lost son, and the sentence "Seeing your brother is like seeing you" is even more endless. His thoughts and concerns have turned into deep blessings and cares.

In addition, everyone can see that Chairman Mao is a very careful person. He did not mention Jiang Qing in the letter, only Li Ne. But as a father, Chairman Mao sincerely hopes that the children can love each other and join hands together.

The most important thing is that Mao Anying and Mao Anying have already met He Zizhen and Li Min in the Soviet Union. They also walked into each other's hearts after a long time of getting along, so Chairman Mao here specifically mentioned his little sister to Mao Anying. Li Ne, hopes to create a good family atmosphere for the children.

Mao Anqing

Chairman Mao cares about his son’s love

Mao Anqing returned to China in 1947,After the founding of New China, Mao Anqing engaged in translation work in the Central Propaganda Department. He has translated several books of Stalin's works, and his career can be said to be smooth. However, it is a pity that Mao Anqing has remained silent in terms of feelings, which also made Chairman Mao particularly worried.

Soon after Chairman Mao found his son, he had a simple conversation with him. He said to Mao Anqing: "You are looking for someone to fall in love. Don't say that your father is Mao Zedong. Just say that you work in the Central Propaganda Department. , So you can recognize more people. If you find someone, I don’t look at the identity and status of the other person. Even a farmer is okay.”

Despite Chairman Mao’s words, Mao Anqing’s marital affairs still hasn’t made any progress. .

On November 25, 1950, Mao Anying died on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Mao Anying was deeply hit when he learned about this incident. For Mao Anying, his brother Mao Anying gave him much more care than his father gave him. He was distraught when he thought of this, and his weak body could not bear the impact of the bad news. Soon after, he was admitted to the Beijing hospital, and then tossed around. Came to Dalian to recuperate.

Mao Anying and Liu Siqi were married in 1949. After Mao Anying's death, Liu Siqi's mother Zhang Wenqiu wanted to reconnect with Chairman Mao, so she took the opportunity of Shao Hua's winter vacation to take her to Dalian for recuperation.

Chairman Mao

Chairman Mao tentatively asked Mao Anqing: "What do you think of your sister-in-law's sister?" I did not expect Chairman Mao's question, which happened to be in Mao Anying's heart. In fact, Mao Anying has been paying attention to Shao Hua for a long time. He also said in front of his brother Mao Anying: "If you are looking for someone, you will find your sister-in-law's sister Shao Hua!" In addition, the two were too far apart, so he hid this feeling deeply in his heart. He didn't expect his father's question to stir Mao Anqing's heart again.

With the encouragement of his father, Mao Anqing often communicated with Shao Hua,Gradually the relationship between the two got better and better. In the summer of 1960, Liu Siqi planned to use his school internship time to visit Mao Anqing in Dalian with his sister Shao Hua.

After Chairman Mao heard the news, he immediately asked Xu Yongfu, who was familiar with the situation, to accompany them. He also ordered Liu Siqi to bring a letter:

Anqing, my son, I miss you very much when I receive your letter. I'm very happy to hear that your condition is getting better, but I still have to listen to the opinions of the doctor and help your comrades, take a good rest, and recover as much as possible. Your sister-in-law and Sister Shao Hua will visit you.

I heard that you and Shao Hua exchanged a lot of letters, do you mean to be friends? Shao Hua is a good boy, you can have a good chat.

To those big ambitions who helped you, you must express gratitude. They care about you very much. You can show them this letter. I would like to express my loyal thanks to them.

This meeting also established a relationship between Mao Anqing and Shao Hua.

Chairman Mao, Shao Hua and Mao Anqing

In order to take care of Mao Anqing while studying, Shao Hua decided to transfer his student status from Peking University to Dalian Normal University. Shao Hua usually studies in school, and she will go to the nursing home to accompany Mao Anqing when Sunday is off.

As the two people spend more and more time together, they also give each other a lot of understanding and encouragement, so soon they jointly wrote a letter to Chairman Mao requesting marriage in Dalian. Chairman Mao was originally satisfied with Shao Hua's daughter-in-law, so he immediately replied to agree upon receiving the letter.

Chairman Mao resolved the contradiction between his son and daughter-in-law

The marriage between Mao Anqing and Shao Hua was too mature, and the Dalian Municipal Party Committee handled the marriage registration procedures for them. Zhang Shibao and several comrades from the Municipal Party Committee helped to prepare for the wedding.

At that time, Zhang Shibao and Shao Hua went to the store to buy wedding goods many times. Shao Hua said to Zhang Shibao: "Anqing likes to wear Chinese tunic suits, but I like modern clothes a little more." So Shaohua Mao Anqing bought a Chinese tunic suit. I bought fashionable dresses and high heels for myself.

On the eve of May 1st International Labor Day in 1960,The wedding of Mao Anqing and Shao Hua was held in the parlor of the Dalian Hotel.

Mao Anqing’s body is not very good. Shao Hua spoke on behalf of Mao Anqing. She thanked the leaders and comrades of Dalian for their care and concern for Anqing. She also said: "My combination with Anqing is just the beginning of the long journey of love. There are sunshine and wind and rain in our life, but as long as we work together, we will surely overcome the difficulties together!"

Shao Hua’s remarks won warm applause from the people present, and Shao Hua and Mao Anqing expressed their deep appreciation to everyone in the applause. Bowed.

Chairman Mao, who is far away in Beijing, also expressed great joy to his son and daughter-in-law. He gave Shao Hua a watch, and at the same time Mao Anqing and Shao Hua's new home a panda radio.

After getting married, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua lived in Dalian for nearly a year. Their new home was arranged in a suite in Nanshan Hotel. The room contained a small warehouse, which was turned into a dark room for washing photos.

Mao Anqing is a person who likes to be quiet, so he lacks exercise. In order to increase Mao Anqing's exercise volume, Shao Hua often calls Zhang Shibao to accompany Mao Anqing to play Krona. Kronball is a sport that Mao Anqing prefers. They will invite Zhang Shi to stay for dinner when they hit the meal time.

Although Shao Hua is 15 years younger than Mao Anqing, he is like a big sister in life, caring for him in every possible way.

Chairman Mao, Mao Anqing, Shao Hua

On January 12, 1962, Chairman Mao sent a letter to Mao Anqing:

Anqing, your letter has been received, I am very happy. You are now hospitalized for treatment, so you have to abide by your will and don’t change your treatment or rest. I have some minor problems in my body, but it passed all of a sudden, don't read it.

In the spring of the same year,Mao Anqing and Shao Hua left Dalian and returned to Beijing. Before leaving, they shook hands with Zhang Shibao and bid farewell to each other.

Chairman Mao was very happy to learn that his son and daughter-in-law had come back. He also jokingly said: "The new daughter-in-law always goes to recognize the family, let grandma and other relatives and friends see!"

It didn't take long for Mao Anqing and Shao Hua to return to their hometown of Shaoshan, Hunan, to visit their fathers and villagers in accordance with their father's instructions. In addition, they also went to Itakura to sacrifice to the mausoleum of their mother Yang Kaihui.

As Mao Anqing is getting better and better, Shao Hua misses her original school and major more and more, so after returning to Beijing, she returned to Peking University to continue studying her favorite major. However, because she delayed classes for a long time, many classes could not keep up, and she had some small conflicts with Mao Anqing, and she was very depressed.

Chairman Mao, Shao Hua, Liu Siqi, Mao Anqing and others

Shao Hua could not help telling his illness and troubles to his father. In order to comfort his daughter-in-law, Chairman Mao quickly replied a letter, hoping for her Only by being able to relax and recuperate can we contribute more to the motherland.

Shao Hua was deeply inspired after reading this letter. His thoughts were cleared instantly and his condition seemed to be getting better. Shao Hua decided to follow his father's words, actively treat the illness, restore health, continue to complete his studies, and live up to his father's expectations of him.

At the same time, Chairman Mao also wrote a letter to Mao Anqing:

Dear Anqing, your letter has been received, but because I was too busy to reply, you can understand my feelings. I love you, I miss you, don't get me wrong.

When Chairman Mao had conflicts between his son and his daughter-in-law, he did not blindly favor his son, nor did he intervene in doing something, but to comfort them.

Why did Mao Anqing not attend the funeral of the chairman?

Chairman Mao, Yang Kaihui and Mao Anying are the people Mao Anying miss most.Looking through some photos of Mao Anqing during his lifetime, it is not difficult to find that many photos related to these three people have been cherished by him.

The only photo taken with her mother when she was a child, and the close photo of the couple with her father, are always placed in the most conspicuous position in the home.

Mao Anqing's family

It was Mao Anqing's first return to Shaoshan in 1952. This time he visited Chairman Mao's former residence and met some old people before leaving. Mao Anqing's feelings are even deeper for his birth floor warehouse. When he was a child, Mao Anqing had been growing up by his mother's side, so there was another name called "Yang Yongshou."

Decades later, when Mao Anqing visited his mother’s grave with tears and came to Itakura’s former residence, He wrote the words "Yang Anqing" on the autograph book. Many people think that he is wrong, but they do not realize that it is his miss for his mother.

One weekend in 1963, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua returned to Zhongnanhai to visit their father, and asked their father to write the song "Butterfly Love and Flower: Answer to Li Shuyi" to them as a memorial. Chairman Mao sat at the desk, slowly dipping his brush, while concentrating, as if thinking about something.

Mao Anqing and Shao Hua stood by and dared not speak out, for fear of disturbing their father's thinking. It took a long time for Chairman Mao to spread out the rice paper gently, smooth it with his hand, and write the words "I lost the Yanghua" .

At that time, Mao Anqing and his wife thought that their father had made a mistake, so they couldn't help asking: "Dad, isn't it'arrogant Yang'?"

Chairman Mao paused and thought for a while, and they quickly handed a blank sheet of paper. On rice paper, I thought my father would rewrite it. Unexpectedly, Chairman Mao did not take the blank rice paper, but said: "It is also very appropriate to call'Yang Hua'."

This sentence expresses Chairman Mao's longing for his wife Yang Kaihui, and this The words also made Mao Anqing and Shao Hua and his wife shed sad tears.

Chairman Mao finished the poem in one go,He picked it up with both hands and solemnly handed it to Mao Anqing and Shao Hua. The couple held it in their hands and looked at it excitedly.

Mao Anqing, Shao Hua, Mao Xinyu

In 1970, when Chairman Mao was 77 years old, he was promoted from a father to a grandfather because his daughter-in-law Shao Hua gave birth to a child in this year.

Since Shao Hua gave birth to her first child, and the fetus is still relatively large, Shao Hua’s condition is very dangerous and there are signs of dystocia.

When Qiu Huizuo reported the situation to Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao's brows instantly frowned. Then Qiu Hui asked hesitantly: "Chairman, which one do you say you want to keep?" Chairman Mao's answer is as hard as iron: "Leave both! Tell the hospital that you must do everything possible to ensure the safety of mother and child.

Later, Shao Hua gave birth to a son, who was also Chairman Mao’s only grandson. The chairman loved him very much. Whether it was Mao Xinyu or Mao Mao, he took it personally.

Chairman Mao passed away on September 9, 1976. Mao Anqing was extremely sad when he heard the news. Tears even wetted the entire collar. Shao Hua has a lot of love for Chairman Mao, but she didn't cry bitterly. She didn't want her emotions to drive Mao Anqing's emotions. After all, Mao Anqing's body was not very good.

Mao Anqing's body was not very good, and the news of his father's death made his condition worse, and he was admitted to the hospital for a while, and he missed his father's funeral. Although Mao Anqing did not attend his father's funeral, his father's appearance was always imprinted in his heart.

December 26, 1993 is the 100th anniversary of Chairman Mao’s birth. Mao Anqing and Shao Hua’s biggest wish is to write a series of books for their father, which objectively and truthfully reflects Chairman Mao's great life.

The wishes of Mao Anqing and Shao Hua have also been approved and supported by the central leadership, the Central Propaganda Department and the General Administration of Press and Publication. Soon after, the book series "A Mao Zedong in China", with nearly 6 million words, introduced you to a different Chairman Mao from the perspective of Mao Anqing and his wife.

In order to produce this series of books, Mao Anqing, regardless of his age or illness, and Shao Hua, Mao Xinyu and others visited the places where Chairman Mao studied, fought, and lived during his lifetime. Visited many old people in the Red Army and collected information extensively.

Sometimes they drive continuously for more than 10 hours a day and do not arrive at their destination until the next morning to rest. Mao Anqing and Shao Hua successively spent nearly half a year collecting and mastering a large amount of first-hand information to lay a solid foundation for the series "A Mao Zedong in China".

For a long time, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua, with deep feelings for Chairman Mao and unparalleled loyalty to the revolutionary cause, took their sons to many old revolutionary areas and supported the establishment of multiple youth patriotism education bases.

Chairman Mao

Mao Anqing passed away on March 23, 2007. A veteran of the Red Army who was familiar with him said emotionally: "Anqing's life is a life of revolution. , Is also a lifetime of serving the people. He has done a lot of things that no one else knows. He only knows that he is buried in his work. He is a hero!" The upward attitude naturally also contains his love for his father Chairman Mao.

Mao Anqing obeyed his father's teachings throughout his life and passed on his frugal family tradition. Mao Anqing's life is very frugal, no different from the life of ordinary people at home. In the eyes of his son Mao Xinyu, Mao Anqing is a loving father who teaches by precept and deeds.

Many people sighed: "Chairman Mao’s family style,It is an example for each of us Chinese to learn from! ”
