"She will pick her day and find a good place to be born, so let's call her Mao Jinhua!"
In April 1930, Mao Zedong said these words after he received his eldest daughter. The so-called good place refers to the "Aihua Hospital" in Longyan, Fujian. Before that, her mother, He Zizhen, had really suffered a lot. Even when she was 6 months pregnant, she was still following the Red Army . The "Resolution (Draft) of the Ninth Party Congress of the Fourth Red Army", which was more than 30,000 words long, was also written down by her, seeing Mao Zedong's daily management, and helping to copy it down word by word.
Fortunately, everything is safe, and as Mao Zedong said, a child is born on a good day. This sentence also made He Zizhen laugh on the spot. It's just that this smile and this girl who "followed the army" in her belly became memories of He Zizhen and Mao Zedong for the rest of their lives.
At that time, He Zizhen was only 20 years old. As the first female party member of Jinggangshan, she was full of passion and only thought of revolution, but never thought of having a child so early, even when she found out that she When you're pregnant, you can't even love your baby. But when the child was born, her heart softened at first sight, and her heart began to change, and she was extremely eager to take her daughter by her side and raise her well.
But reality would not allow her such a desire to come true. According to the rules of the Red Army at the time, any child would be sent away before the troops were dispatched. Either sent back to their hometown, or fostered in the homes of ordinary people. There are no rules and no circles, so even if the child was born with the title of "Red Princess", there is no exception.
So when the child was just born, Mao Zedong began to ask someone to find a reliable family and put the child in the homes of ordinary people. After the matter was settled, Mao Zedong could only reluctantly said to He Zizhen:
"Put the child out of foster care,We can only do that today. We will be back later. When the revolution is victorious, we will take her by our side. "
In order not to let Mao Zedong worry too much about himself, He Zizhen held back her tears and said, " Alright!" ”
In this way, Mao Jinhua, who has not yet reached the full moon, left her parents’ side without knowing anything for the sake of the revolutionary cause. More importantly, today’s farewell, the three of them will never see each other for the rest of their lives… …
Deng Zihui, one of the main founders of the revolutionary base area in western Fujian and the Soviet area of , personally searched for the foster family of Mao Jinhua, and finally settled on a 42-year-old living in Guanbei Street, Longyan City. Cobbler Weng Qinghe.
Deng Zihui and Weng Qinghe He knew he was a staunch guardian of the peasant movement, so he trusted him more. His wife had just given birth, and she just had breast milk to feed the golden flowers, so everything was quickly finalized.
The Red Army was about to start, He Zizhen reluctantly took her daughter to the Weng family and left behind 20 yuan of ocean, so that the Weng family could be well Take care of the little golden flower. Weng Qinghe's family promised well at that time, but who would have thought that the Red Army had just left, and Weng Qinghe regretted it.
After Mao Zedong left Longyan, he has been dealing with the Kuomintang army, running around He did not stop, but he did not forget that his daughter, Xiaojinhua, was still in Longyan. In the spring of 1932, the Red Army East Route Army marched eastward to Zhangzhou. In mid-April, Longyan was recaptured again. Mao Zedong, who could not get out, asked his younger brother Mao Zemin to visit Xiao Jinhua, and handed over 150 pieces of ocean to Weng Qinghe as alimony.
Mao Zemin went to Weng's house full of anticipation, and after handing over all the alimony, he proposed to see the little golden flower. But he never thought about it but was told: " baby girl died of a cold after they raised them for 4 months. "
Weng Qinghe's attitude is very sincere, because this is not his first Said again.
He knew that this girl belonged to Mao Zedong, and Mao Zedong was someone the Kuomintang wanted to get rid of, so as soon as the Red Army left, he was extremely worried if the Kuomintang army came to Longyan, knowing that Mao Zedong's child was there. After his home, his own life was at risk. Because of this, he often had nightmares about getting himself on fire.
So, one night in July of the same year, he went to Nanmentou with a sleeping Mao Jinhua in his arms, put her in front of a shop doing oil, salt, sauce and vinegar business, and then turned and left.
In the winter of the same year, the Kuomintang army entered Longyan Town. I didn't know where to find the news, and also found Weng Qinghe. When he heard that the Kuomintang soldiers came to look for Mao Zedong's daughter, Weng Qinghe shuddered.
Although he failed the trust of the Red Army and did not take good care of Mao Jinhua, but fortunately he did not truthfully account for Mao Jinhua's whereabouts, but deceived the girl by saying that the baby girl had died, and said he buried her in the Back North Gate, you can take the officers to see it.
In this way, at least it didn't put Xiaojinhua in danger. It is a pity that he later told such a lie to Mao Zemin's choice, but it completely made Mao Zedong and He Zizhen never see their daughter again, and even made Mao Jinhua's life experience in the fog for a long time.
The owner of the shop selling oil, salt and vinegar sauce did not adopt Mao Jinhua, but gave her to a local person named Wenggu . Weng Gu raised Xiaojinhua for almost a year, and then gave her to a local Shandong hawker who sells fried dough sticks and biscuits Zhang Xianzhi .
Xiao Jinhua spent 3 years in Zhang Xianzhi 's home. Because Zhang Xianzhi's wife died of illness, she was given to a local coal kiln named Mai Sizai to raise her. Mai Sizai has no feelings for Xiao Jinhua, but his wife Qiu Lanzai likes Xiao Jinhua very much, so she insists on adopting Xiao Jinhua, and also declares that Xiao Jinhua is her biological daughter, she and her ex-husband Yang , so she named Xiao Jinhua " Yang Yuehua".
Just like that, she lived under the name "Yang Yuehua" for the rest of her life.
The first time Yang Yuehua heard that she was not biological was when she and her brother were quarreling about something when she was 5 years old. 'meaning dialect)" that time. Although she is still young, these words have been etched in her heart ever since. At that time, she had actually been changed hands 4 times...
When Mao Zedong heard the bad news of his daughter's untimely death, he was silent for a long time on the spot, and finally only said "What a pity!" and went to work. This seems to be indifferent, in fact, the pain of losing a daughter is really only understood by those who have experienced it.
When Deng Zihui first heard about Yang Jinhua's death at a young age, in addition to grief and guilt, he also always felt that there was something odd about it. In 1951, Deng Zihui asked Xie Juezai, the representative of the Central Comfort Corps in the old area of in western Fujian, to go to Longyan Town and ask him to repeat Weng Qinghe's words.
After Xie Juezai was done with business, he went to Weng Qinghe. In fact, New China had been established at that time, and the remnants of the Kuomintang were either wiped out or fled to Taiwan, which means that no one would go to trouble with a cobbler like Weng Qinghe again. And the Communist Party pays attention to "preferential treatment" when it treats prisoners, let alone a person who once actively participated in the peasant movement? Therefore, in fact, as long as Weng Qinghe truthfully explains the whereabouts of Mao Jinhua,The party and the state will not trouble him.
But he still insisted that Mao Jinhua died of a cold when he was fostered in their home for 4 months...
At this point, Deng Zihui had no choice but to give up, complaining even more that he was entrusted to him back then. However, what puzzled him was that shortly after Xie Jue left Longyan Town, Weng Qinghe wrote to Chairman Mao again, asking for money .
Although there was no evidence that Mao Jinhua was still alive at this time, Deng Zihui still had hope in his heart. At the same time, Chairman Mao didn't want the fact that Jin Hua was dead, so when Deng Zihui returned to his hometown to visit relatives in 1953, he specifically instructed:
"Old Deng, I still have a little girl in Longyan, Will you ask me after the meeting and see if it's still there?"
The answer is yes. Mao Jinhua, who grew up in the name of Yang Yuehua, had already participated in revolutionary work in 1951. It was only because Weng Qinghe refused to tell the truth, Deng Zihui had no way of verifying it.
It wasn't until 1963 that Yang Yuehua, then the secretary of the Longyan County Federation of Industry and Commerce, actively promoted the implementation of the "Two Ten Points" instructions of the Party Central Committee and mobilized her "aunt" Zheng Qiudi to reveal the hardships before liberation. I learned the fact that I am not Qiu Lanzai.
Although her adoptive mother treated her very well, she was 43 years old at the time, but she still wanted to find out who her "aunt" said her parents were in the Red Army. So he wrote to Wu Chaofang, who had been promoted to Longyan's exclusive deputy commissioner at the time, and told him everything he had heard about his life experience, and asked him to help him find his biological parents.
Wu Chaofang is an old revolutionary who joined the Communist Party of China long before Yang Yuehua was born. After learning about the Red Army, he must be willing to help. Coincidentally, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had several correspondence with Deng Zihui, the point being that the letter was about looking for the whereabouts of Mao Zedong's eldest daughter .
On January 17, 1964, under the impetus of the local county party committee, a special symposium was held in Longyan, and the "person to be discussed" was Weng Qinghe. Seeing that the matter was exposed, Weng Qinghe explained the matter this time, indicating that Yang Yuehua was Mao Zedong's eldest daughter Mao Jinhua.
Seeing that things were about to be finalized, but who knew that in front of Deng Zihui the next day, he went back and said that the girl had already died. In addition, Qiu Lanzai, Yang Yuehua's adoptive mother, admitted that the child was not her own, but she only knew that the girl was taken by her husband from a Shandong man, so the matter fell into a fog again. , dragged on to 1973.
At the end of that year, the old Red Army Luo Wanchang was "sent back" to Longyan, where he lived just not far from Yang Yuehua's home. In the past few years, in order to find Yang Yuehua's parents in the Red Army, the county held numerous symposiums, and the local people would naturally hear about it. And these words happened to be listened to by Luo Wanchang, and when he felt that something was wrong, he wrote letters and reported them layer by layer.
After more than 2 months of investigation, the matter finally came to light. Chairman Mao also quickly received the news that Mao Jinhua was still alive and in Longyan, and after being overjoyed, he asked He Minxue to bring Yang Yuehua to Beijing.
But early the next morning, Chairman Mao changed his mind, saying that it would be better for the child to stay in Longyan, which made everyone puzzled. Only later did I find out that it was someone who was behind the scenes and that Chairman Mao was trying to protect his daughter's safety.
things have been delayed until August. At the behest of Premier Zhou Enlai, Mao Zetan and He Yi's daughter-in-law Zhou Jianxia were responsible for the implementation of Mao Jinhua. She took what her aunt said, Jinhua has a large mole on her left armpit and two small moles in front of her right knee, and went to find Yang Yuehua.
In August 1973, Yang Yuehua (first from right), Zhou Jianxia (second from right), Luo Wanchang (fourth from right) and others took a group photo in front of the tomb of Guo Diren martyr
She had an idea and shouted "" There are fleas". Immediately, Yang Yuehua hurriedly rolled up her trousers. Zhou Jianxia saw the mole on Yang Yuehua's right knee...
Afterwards, Yang Yuehua went to Shanghai accompanied by the representative of Longyan County Party Committee, originally to see He Zizhen. But because I didn't see Zhou Jianxia in Shanghai, I didn't know He Zizhen's specific residence, so I couldn't see it on this trip.
Later, due to the particularity of the times, neither Chairman Mao nor He Zizhen ever saw Yang Yuehua. Only He Zizhen's brother, He Minxue, saw Yang Yuehua and took care of Yang Yuehua all the time.
In May 1984, Yang Yuehua retired early due to physical discomfort. Since then, she has been living in Longyan, living in seclusion with her husband, and her six children are also very filial. Occasionally, there will be admiring guests at home, and she will tell her stories without hesitation. She never mentioned the hardships she suffered when she was living abroad, but she always felt regret when she mentioned her biological parents...
