Yang Kaihui's love letter that Mao Zedong did not receive: 4000 words full of blood and tears, silent in the cracks of the wall for 60 years

In 1990, when people were repairing Yang Kaihui's former residence, accidentally found some letters .

They were firmly wrapped in wax paper and carefully stuffed into the cracks of the wall. Not only did the enemies who had been hunted many times not be found, even the family members who had lived there for decades did not notice them, and they stayed quietly in the soil for 60 years.

Among these letters, 's most striking is Yang Kaihui's love letter to her husband Mao Zedong . In the more than 4,000 words, every sentence tells how she misses her husband.

"I will kiss you a hundred times, your eyes, your mouth, your cheeks, your forehead, you are mine, you belong to me."

sorry The thing is, when he found this love letter, Chairman Mao had passed away for 6 years. He could never see his wife's vigorous love again, let alone how tormented the revolutionary martyr had spent in the two years before his death.

So, what else was written in Yang Kaihui's love letter? Why did she hide the love letter?

Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong

From confidant to lover

In 1914, Mao Zedong went to Hunan Provincial No. 1 Normal School to study, where he met his mentor who greatly appreciated his talent Changji Yang . At that time, Yang Kaihui, who was influenced by his father Yang Changji's revolutionary thought, also grew up quietly. .

She cut off her long braids,With avant-garde short hair, despite the advice of friends, she insisted on wearing only an old cotton jacket for the winter. Because she believes that human willpower is the key to everything.

Yang Changji saw that their minds were liberated, so he showed Yang Kaihui Mao Zedong's lecture notes and reading notes. There are both foreign people and events in the notes, as well as historically recorded classical philosophy .

Mao Zedong transcribed these ministries into his diary, and added some of his views on people and things. His thoughts were far superior to those of his peers. As a result, before Yang Kaihui met Mao Zedong, had a strong admiration for him .

Chairman Mao in his youth

Later, President Yang Changji invited Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen and others to his home for a party. They were brilliant and talked about the past and the present. But among so many people, Yang Kaihui only saw Mao Zedong's difference .

At first, she just listened silently by the side, but later she became more courageous and gradually raised some questions about state affairs. Mao Zedong was very concerned about this little sister who participated enthusiastically, and often led her to think about the revolution with simple reasons.

Mao Zedong encouraged Yang Kaihui to express his opinions bravely, and often sent his diary and articles to Yang Kaihui to read. Under his guidance, Yang Kaihui's thinking has gradually progressed, and the common pursuit of has brought the two minds closer to each other. .

In 1918, Yang Changji went to Peking University to teach, and Yang Kaihui moved north with his father. Mao Zedong also graduated in the same year and was recommended by his teacher to serve as the administrator of Peking University Library .

During this time in Beijing, Mao Zedong still maintained close contact with the teacher's family, frequented the Yang family, and had more opportunities to meet with Yang Kaihui.

They participated in revolutionary activities and read revolutionary books together. Forbidden City , Xiangshan , Beihai, two young people have left common footprints in various places in Beijing. Young girls and young talents are getting closer and closer in their daily lives, colliding with sparks of love .

Recalling this past, Yang Kaihui wrote in his autobiography:

"Unexpectedly, I was so lucky! I got a lover! Ever since I heard a lot of things about him and saw his many articles and diaries, I have loved him. !"

In 1919, Mao Zedong had to return to Hunan because of his mother's serious illness, and the two had to separate. When writing letters here, they are all addressed directly and intimately with "Run" (Chairman Mao's word Runzhi) and "Xia" (Yang Kaihui's name Xia).

Although the two were already in love, they did not express their affection for each other. Yang Kaihui is proud, She never thought about pursuing Mao Zedong, nor marrying him, Because she doesn't want passive love,

"I believe that the power of love is in the hands of nature , I will never ask for it."

But it is this kind of heart-to-heart friendship that makes Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong's love still maintain a high degree of fit after countless waves and storms. .

next year,Yang Changji died of illness, and Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui returned to Changsha to attend the funeral. At this time, Mao Zedong was anxious about the " Cultural Book Club " he founded. There was a problem with the book club and he needed a lot of money urgently.

After Yang Kaihui found out, she discussed it with her mother and paid Mao Zedong his father's funeral expenses. Because she knew that if her father was still alive, she would have given everything for the revolutionary cause.

At the same time, She heard that a female classmate was pursuing Mao Zedong , she was very worried. Yang Kaihui's eldest sister-in-law saw that the two were hesitating, so she went directly to Mao Zedong and made clear Yang Kaihui's mind.

Mao Zedong was grateful for Yang Kaihui's support for him and wanted to become a real couple with her, so he wrote the only graceful poem in his life " Yu Meiren·Pillow" to express his deep love for Yang Kaihui:

What is it like to pile on the pillow, the river and the sea turn waves. The night is long and the sky is always difficult to see, and I am lonely and sit up and count the cold stars.

Xiaolai's thoughts are all gone, and there is only one person left. A crescent moon is flowing westward, and there is no reason not to shed tears.

Yang Kaihui

When Yang Kaihui received the poems expressing love from the other party, she was a little bit incredulous, and then she fell into ecstasy, "I didn't dare until he sent me a lot of letters to express his love. Believe me I have such luck!"

Since she fully understood Mao Zedong's mind, a new consciousness has arisen. Previously, Yang Kaihui always believed that she was born for her mother, but now she is also born for Mao Zedong.

"I imagined,If one day he dies and my mother is gone, I must die with him! If he is caught and killed, I must share this fate with him! "

The unsent love letter

In the winter of 1920, the two held a special wedding in Changsha. There was no " eight-carrying sedan chair", no "worship the heaven and earth into the bridal chamber", only Mao Zedong Spend 6 yuan to set up a table of banquets , entertaining a few relatives and friends.

In fact, such a simple arrangement is also what Yang Kaihui meant,

"I am against all marriages that use ceremonies, and I think that there is a heart To court love is easy and inevitable to lose, the highest, most beautiful and supreme love of the divine inconceivable! "

Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui

Yang Kaihui hopes that the two of them can live a life like glue, but the reality is cruel, Their love is destined to consist of parting and missing.

Before getting married, Yang Kaihui was influenced by Mao Zedong and joined the revolution without hesitation and became his right-hand man. Therefore, a few days after getting married, Mao Zedong struggled in the arduous revolutionary cause, and she continued to accompany her, and she was honored to be a Chinese The second female Communist Party member.

In order to take care of her husband, she sometimes went to Shanghai, and sometimes lived in Guangzhou temporarily, and often made her home everywhere. But Yang Kaihui never complained, The relationship between the two has also been further sublimated in the revolutionary cause

In 1927, the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek began to frantically anti-communist,The life and safety of every underground party member is at stake. Mao Zedong risked his life and quietly sent his wife and three children back to Itakura, asking his mother-in-law to take good care of them.

After he got home, he only briefly explained a few words and left in a hurry, his back gradually disappearing into the night. Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong have parted many times, but no parting has ever made her so nervous.

Yang Kaihui doesn't know what's going on, she always feels empty, especially when she can't wait for her husband's letter, which makes her sleepless,

"Can't sleep for a few days, In any case, I'm going crazy. I haven't heard from you for many days, wait every day."

The organization didn't send any news to Yang Kaihui, she could only look for clues about her husband in various newspapers and periodicals. She knew that the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops led by Mao Zedong were evading the enemy's pursuit, and that these newspapers were also promoting the news that "the Communist Party is powerless to resist".

Yang Kaihui knows that the Kuomintang newspapers always love to exaggerate, but can also see that her husband's life is not easy . She could not wait for the news of Mao Zedong, and could only express her depressed mood by writing letters.

"Runzhi, I'm going crazy. I haven't heard from you for many days, waiting every day. It's so sad. Even if you die, my tears will wrap around your corpse."

After

suffered like this for more than 50 days, Yang Kaihui finally received a letter from Mao Zedong. There are only a few words in the letter,

"Xia: I'm in business, business is booming,Made a lot of money recently.

This is a code word between them, which implicitly shows that Mao Zedong is not only alive, but the revolutionary situation has also changed.

Yang Kaihui was so happy after receiving the letter that she was so excited that she burst into tears and wrote it. A letter from home, I want someone to bring it to Mao Zedong who is in Jinggangshan.

But at that time, the situation in Itakura was very serious, whether it was a letter or a souvenir, it might be discovered by the enemy, so she . And the "precious letter" sent by Mao Zedong, also became their only successful correspondence .

During this period, Yang Kaihui was worried about gain and loss, and kept on Added to the original love letter,

"I will kiss him a hundred times, he is mine, he belongs to me! "

But without any information about her husband for a long time, she began to take second place again,

"Oh my God, I don't trust you! As long as you are well, mine is not mine. , God bless you. "

Yang Kaihui even wished to forget Mao Zedong. Her mind was full of her husband's shadow, and she could still see him standing there and staring at her in a trance. How she longed to send this letter of love Send it out, " Whoever brings my letter to you and your letter to me is my benefactor.

On Mao Zedong's birthday, she wanted to celebrate her husband, but she didn't dare to reveal it.She even wanted to go to Jinggangshan to accompany Mao Zedong to "go to Huangquan together". She was not afraid of death, but she couldn't give up her child. He is a child, and no one can take him away."

Lost the Sun forever

In 1930, the revolutionary situation in Itakura became more and more difficult, and Yang Kaihui had a premonition that she might be arrested by the enemy at any time , She had to hide the manuscripts and the love letter to Mao Zedong in advance .

She put some of the letters in the cracks of the bricks, and put a layer of ash on the walls, so that the difference could not be seen, and the rest of the letters were hidden in the cracks under the beams of the house.

And Yang Kaihui insisted on keeping these letters , one is that she firmly believes that the revolution will succeed, and the other is that she regards these letters as spiritual sustenance, and really can't bear to destroy them .

As expected by Yang Kaihui, she and her son Mao Anying were arrested by the warlord in October of the same year. In prison, the enemy imposed various cruel punishments on her, asking her to tell Mao Zedong's whereabouts, but Yang Kaihui always had only one sentence: "I don't know!"

With the message in her mouth, she adopted the policy of empathy. They specially prepared a press conference for Yang Kaihui, and invited many reporters in advance. As long as she publicly declares that she will break the relationship with Mao Zedong, she will ensure that her family will be safe and sound.

But Yang Kaihui was unyielding and resolutely answered:

"I don't want to die, I only hope that the revolution of prosperity will succeed soon!"

In her heart,Mao Zedong is not only a husband, but also represents the "revolutionary cause". If she broke off relations with Mao Zedong, she would betray the organization, which was a refutation of her ego. wants her to betray Mao, unless the sea dies .

And in the face of death, Yang Kaihui is not afraid, she just pity her mother and children.

On November 14, 1930, Yang Kaihui Liuyang Literacy Ridge outside the door died heroically , only 29 years and 8 days old. Before her death, she left her last words, "After I die, I will not do the deeds of ordinary people."

Mao Zedong, who was far away, was deeply saddened after hearing the bad news, and he wept and wrote a letter to Yang Kaihui's brother, "Kaihui's death will never be redeemed."

He will never forget this brave and determined wife. There is not only the love between husband and wife, but also the feelings between revolutionary fighters. In this lifetime, they were forced to part with each other, Mao Zedong could not forget for the rest of his life .

Therefore, Mao Zedong left behind the eternal song "Butterfly Loves Flowers: Reply to Li Shuyi":

I lost my pride, Yang Jun lost the willow, and the willow rose lightly and rose to the sky. Inquiry Wu Gang He all, Wu Gang presented sweet-scented osmanthus wine .

Lonely Chang'e Shu Guangxiu, thousands of miles in the sky and dance for the loyal soul. Suddenly reported that the human world had bowed down to a tiger, and the tears flew down into a downpour.

where,Chairman Mao deliberately changed "Jiaoyang" to "Baoyang" because Yang Kaihui was his proud wife and revolutionary martyr. Chairman Mao's "love" for her has already broken through life and death, and it is the embodiment of great love and righteousness.

Yang Kaihui's manuscripts were hidden extremely safely. Neither the enemy nor his resident family members found these manuscripts.

It was not until 1982, when later generations repaired her former residence, that some letters were found in the cracks in the wall. Later, when it was repaired again in 1990, the remaining love letters were found in the brick cracks in the upper right corner of the bedroom door.

Before these letters appeared, everyone didn't know the sadness of this young revolutionary martyr when he was facing the separation of life and death, let alone how deeply she felt for Mao Zedong.

But it is a pity that Chairman Mao had passed away for 6 years when he found this love letter, which is a pity for him who has been guilty all his life.
