In 2010, a TV series called "Mao Anying" was broadcast on CCTV . As soon as this TV series was aired, it attracted countless viewers to watch in front of the TV.

Because the TV series begins with a flashback, the first scene the audience sees is a white-haired old lady gazing at the tombstone affectionately and touching it gently with cherishment.

That old man is Liu Siqi. She watched that TV series three times, from beginning to end every time, and cried from beginning to end every time.

She said that the TV series was her gift to Mao Anying. She also said that Mao Anying was not only the son of a great man, but also an ordinary person. He was by no means an empty shell wearing the crown of "Mao Zedong's son", but a person who made important contributions to the motherland and world peace...

Two people have The TV show "Mao Anying" is unfolded in a flashback structure, with Liu Siqi taking the audience back to that precarious era. In fact, about 95% of the content of this drama is based on Liu Siqi's oral memories and own experiences.

In order to let the compatriots see a real and living Mao Anying, Liu Siqi not only handed over the information he had compiled over the years to the director Liu Yiran , but also talked to the director for ten days. In her longing and affectionate words, director Liu Yiran felt as if he had returned to the last century, witnessed the passionate and sincere young man and witnessed their love.

Mao Anying and Liu Siqi are in a free love relationship approved by their parents. Speaking of which, when Liu Siqi was still in her mother's belly, she had a vague relationship with Mao Anying.

In 1927, when Mao Zedong attended the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China in Wuhan, he met his newly married revolutionary comrade Zhang Wenqiu. After hearing the good news about his comrades, Mao Zedong happily expressed that if Zhang Wenqiu gave birth to a daughter, they could become in-laws in the future.

This was originally just a joke, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a prophecy. Zhang Wenqiu really gave birth to a daughter, and the two juniors actually got married in the future.

seems to have a certain destiny. They are destined and have very similar experiences. When Mao Anying was eight years old, she was imprisoned with her two younger brothers and mother Yang Kaihui. Fear and worry continued to spread in her young mind.

After Yang Kaihui's death, Mao Anying and his brothers received help from the underground party, but after the underground party was destroyed, they began to wander around. During this period, the youngest brother Mao Anlong died of illness in the hospital. Fortunately, the underground party organization found them later and sent Mao Anying and her younger brother Mao Anying to the Soviet Union to study. They did not return to Yan'an until 1946.

Liu Siqi also spent a long period of his childhood in prison with his mother. In 1938, Liu Siqi and his mother were captured by the reactionary warlords and sent to prison, where they lived for 8 years. Almost every time Zhang Wenqiu was called out, he would come back with bruises all over his body. This made the young Liu Siqi spend almost every day in fear, often worrying that his mother would never come back.

Fortunately, they were finally able to escape and return to Yan'an in 1946. Because Liu Siqi was handsome and cute, he was soon selected into the drama club. When she appeared in a drama, she attracted Mao Zedong's attention. Through the introduction of others, Mao Zedong learned that she was the daughter of his comrade Zhang Wenqiu, and then happily recognized her as his goddaughter.

At that time, I don’t know if Mao Zedong thought of the joke-like agreement, but the story of the two juniors quietly unfolded before he noticed it.

Liu Siqi, who was about 15 years old, met Mao Anying who had returned from the Soviet Union after returning to Yan'an.

When Liu Siqi met Mao Anying for the first time, he thought he was tall, very free and simple. He looks no different from other cadres, except that he looks younger.

Mao Anying looked at Liu Siqi, who was nearly 10 years younger than herself, and did not leave any other impression. He only remembered her big bright eyes.

When they met this time, there were no sparks between the two, and due to the turmoil of the current situation, they were soon separated in two places. The two met again in 1948.

That year, Mao Zedong and Mao Anying came to Xibaipo one after another and saw Liu Siqi who had grown into a big girl. Mao Zedong smiled and praised: "You grow up so fast. When you were in Yan'an, you were still a little girl!" Feelings gradually warmed up. Speaking of which, it was probably Liu Siqi who Mao Anying pursued first.

When he was in Xibaipo, Liu Siqi lived in a room with Mao Zedong's daughter Li Na. One night, Mao Anying came to chat with them. As they chatted, they talked about ideals and communism.

At that time, Mao Anying kept chatting with them about ideals and philosophy, and they were still very energetic even late at night. On the other hand, Liu Siqi and Li Ne were already a little confused, and the more they listened, the more they wanted to sleep. During

, someone came in once. Seeing the current situation, he joked that my sister was going to sleep after riding a horse for a day. When it came to this topic, Mao Anying, who was always smart, still refused to leave and continued talking.

There was no watch at that time. Liu Siqi estimated that around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Mao Anying had not left yet and kept talking, which made Liu Siqi even more confused and wanted to sleep, and Li Na was too sleepy to stop nodding.

Later, it was too late, so Mao Anying got up and left. After a while, Liu Siqi suddenly realized that Mao Anying was coming for her. But she was very natural and didn't think anything was wrong.

However, Liu Siqi later rejected Mao Anying. Because she thought he was a foreign student who had been in prison and was still attending training classes.

Mao Anying disagreed after hearing this. He believes that his and Liu Siqi's experiences are very similar, like two bitter gourds on a vine.

Liu Siqi recalled: "He said that my mother was shot by the Kuomintang, and your father was shot by the Kuomintang. I have been in prison since I was a child, and you have been in prison since I was a child. I have been homeless and out of school since I was a child, and you have been out of school and in jail since you were a child. . But the two of us should be able to get together. "

Mao Anying studied in the Soviet Union. Compared with many young people at that time, he was more enthusiastic and dared to fight. Liu Siqi was moved by his passionate and sincere feelings, similar experiences, seriousness in work and persistent pursuit of revolution. As time goes by, the relationship between the two becomes deeper and deeper.

Mao Zedong and others were also happy to see their feelings come to fruition.

got married, and Yin and Yang were separated by

In 1949, New China was founded. Mao Anying and 18-year-old Liu Siqi also got married that year. Compared with other weddings, their wedding was very high-standard but very low-key.

Getting married in those days was different from now when preparations have to be started after a long time. At that time, Mao Zedong approved of their happy marriage. It happened that Mao Zedong was going to hold a meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee that day, and he held a wedding ceremony for Mao Anying and Liu Siqi before the meeting.

Both of them were dressed simply. Mao Anying wore second-hand clothes and leather shoes for formal occasions. Liu Siqi wore a simple Lenin outfit, a lesbian outfit, without makeup. Originally, she didn't have a flower to wear. I don't know where Li Ne and Li Min found a velvet flower and put it on Liu Siqi.

The reason why the wedding was of high standard was because all the members of the Standing Committee who were going to meet were present. The reason why it is a low-profile wedding is that there are only two tables of food in the wedding. Sitting at one table were Mao Zedong, members of the Standing Committee, their wives and the young couple. At another table, children like Li Min and Li Ne were sitting.

The wedding was simple, and the gifts sent by the elders were also very simple. At that time, Mao Zedong looked at the young couple lovingly and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to give you. Let Anying wear this coat. You two will wear it in the evening, and Siqi will also have a share."

That coat The coat was worn by Mao Zedong when he was negotiating with Chongqing. It was simple but profound, simple and sincere.

After getting married, because the two of them were already in love, life was very sweet. Liu Siqi recalled with emotion that Mao Anying was a very romantic person.

Sometimes, Mao Anying would go to the Soviet Union for work, and he would often bring her back one or two pieces of shirt material, or a handbag given to him by others.Sometimes he would give her a quick kiss on the face before leaving. This kind of detail in life made her feel very happy every time she thought about it.

Moreover, Mao Anying is more unrestrained in her emotions, and some of her words are not subtle at all, simple but very passionate. Once, Mao Anying pointed to a rooster to Liu Siqi.

The pointed rooster was looking for grain on the ground. Every time he found a grain, he cooed and asked the hen to come over and eat it, and so on. Mao Anying said to Liu Siqi seriously at that time: "Look how good it is to hens, I will do the same to you in the future."

The sweet life of the young couple only lasted about a year. At their sweetest time, they had to separate.

At that time, Mao Anying came to visit Liu Siqi who was hospitalized due to appendicitis in the evening. He told Liu Siqi that he was going on a business trip to a far away place and asked her to "persist in completing her studies no matter what happens."

Mao Anying also asked Liu Siqi to take more care of her younger brother and visit her father Mao Zedong more often. The two chatted for a long time that day. In the end, Mao Anying did not tell Liu Siqi where she was going on a business trip. She only said that the journey was far away and communication might be inconvenient, so she should not worry or be anxious.

However, Mao Anying seemed to have mentioned the Korean Peninsula inadvertently, but Liu Siqi was not aware of the truth at that time, and he did not say it clearly.

Mao Anying did not leave the hospital until about 11 o'clock in the evening. Liu Siqi insisted on sending him to the door of the hospital. When they were about to say goodbye, Mao Anying suddenly bowed to Liu Siqi, bending very low. It wasn't until many years later that Liu Siqi suddenly realized it and couldn't help crying.

After coming out of the hospital that day, Mao Anying rode to her mother-in-law's house. She also said that she was going on a business trip and would not be back for a long time, and asked her to pay more attention to Liu Siqi.

After that goodbye, Liu Siqi never saw Mao Anying again. Not long after, she received a letter from someone inside. There was no postmark and she didn't know where it was sent from.

The letter was written by Mao Anying, and Liu Siqi was very happy after receiving it.

But from then on, Liu Siqi never received a letter from Mao Anying again. However, when she thought about what Mao Anying had said before, the business trip was far away and communication was inconvenient, so she no longer worried. She just studied hard every day and happily looked forward to Mao Anying's early letter or early return.

But what Liu Siqi didn't know was that just as she was happily waiting for Mao Anying to come back, Mao Anying had already died on the land of another country, and in an extremely tragic and painful way.

In October 1950, Mao Anying volunteered to follow Peng Dehuai to the Korean battlefield and arrived in North Korea on the 19th of the same month. On the morning of November 25, he was affected by the enemy's gasoline bomb and was burned to death beyond recognition. Everyone was able to identify Mao Anying from the watch given by Mao Anying's mother-in-law before leaving.

Although the news spread to China soon, Liu Siqi did not know about it.

At that time, Mao Zedong learned about his son's death and sat in silence for a long time. The man who led countless people to build New China seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. For a long time, his eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't tell Siqi yet, she just got married."

Therefore, Liu Siqi still longed for and fantasized about her husband returning home as soon as possible after several years after Mao Anying's death. However, paper cannot cover the fire, and Mao Zedong also understood that and continued to inoculate her.

After hearing the news of his death, he cried bitterly while watching the movie

Mao Zedong was usually gentle and kind, and Liu Siqi always understood this. However, after Mao Anying left, Mao Zedong became more concerned about her, and would ask about her work, life, interpersonal relationships, etc. from time to time, just like her biological father.

At first, Liu Siqi didn't feel anything was wrong, and he was beaming every time they met. However, about a year after Mao Anying's death, Mao Zedong began to talk to her about more family matters. They were not father and daughter, but they were better than biological father and daughter.

One day, Mao Zedong and Liu Siqi chatted for several hours under a tree in Zhongnanhai.Most of the time, it was Mao Zedong who was talking about how five of his family members had died for the revolutionary cause. Liu Siqi felt very sad just listening to Mao Zedong's words. She comforted Mao Zedong awkwardly.

At that time, Mao Zedong actually did not finish what he said. There were actually six members of his family who died because of the revolution, and the sixth was Mao Anying, who died tragically on the Korean Peninsula.

Liu Siqi did not understand the deep meaning of Mao Zedong's words at that time. He just thought that he would be nicer to Mao Zedong in the future and cherish his husband even more. Soon, she was back to studying and working.

Because Liu Siqi studies seriously and is proactive in her work, many people are willing to get along with her. She also likes to take the initiative to help others do whatever work she can.

Once, Liu Siqi helped a colleague from the publicity department post photos. The content of the photo happened to be Wang Ruofei, Deng Fa and others who were killed on April 8th.

They were burned beyond recognition because of the plane crash, which was very tragic. She accidentally saw it and couldn't help but turn her face away, unable to bear to look at it again. But the sight of her body being burned and bruised was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

Originally, Liu Siqi never thought that these photos could be associated with Mao Anying. Until that time, she saw the photos brought by others. In that photo, Mao Anying looked like wearing a military uniform to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

Liu Siqi already knew about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and also understood that the war suffered heavy casualties. At that time, about three years had passed since Mao Anying's "business trip". Except for the first letter, it can be said that there was no news from him. Her heart thumped suddenly, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran directly to find Mao Zedong.

Liu Siqi asked in a panic: "Dad, I haven't received a letter from Anying for a long time, but a letter came after I went on a business trip. What's going on?"

In Mao Zedong's silence, she became more and more nervous, and her eyes became more and more nervous. Coming more and more red. Finally, Mao Zedong whispered: "He has sacrificed."

Upon hearing this, Liu Siqi couldn't help but grabbed Mao Zedong's hand and burst into tears. Later, after she learned that Mao Anying was burned alive, she shed tears all day long and was in a daze. She couldn't help but think of the photos she had seen before, and often murmured repeatedly: "How painful was Anying at that time?"

After that, Liu Siqi never accepted the fact that Mao Anying was dead until Mao Zedong asked her to visit North Korea's grave.

In 1959, Liu Siqi hugged the cold tombstone on the Korean Peninsula and cried uncontrollably. At that moment, she finally realized that her husband was dead and would never walk in with a smile like she had imagined one day.

Liu Siqi choked and cried, and couldn't help thinking in her heart, why Mao Anying's grave wouldn't suddenly open like Liang Shanbo's, so that she could jump in to find him. Until Liu Siqi's later years, she couldn't stop mentioning it many times when recalling it.

During that North Korean tomb-sweeping trip, Liu Siqi carefully brought back a handful of loess. He fell seriously ill after returning. Liu Siqi could not let go of Mao Anying for a long time. She once personally went to Shaoshan and copied information about Mao Anying word for word with tears streaming down her face.

She also asked Mao Zedong why Mao Anying was not buried back in China. She didn't even have a place to cry. Mao Zedong sighed and said: "It is more meaningful for Anying to stay in North Korea. When you want to cry, just go home and cry!"

While comforting Liu Siqi, Mao Zedong also urged her to look away as soon as possible and find another partner. Start a new life. This is not coercion, but an old father's concern for his daughter.

Liu Siqi disagreed at first and chose to live alone. It was not until 10 years after Mao Anying's death that he slowly accepted it, started a new family, and had his own children.

Later, the gray-haired Liu Siqi came to North Korea with his children. She told the children the story of Mao Anying, gently touched the tombstone and statue, and whispered with nostalgia: "Anying, today I brought the children to visit your grave. They respect you and miss you.I am old and am no longer the same Siqi I used to be. Once I am unable to visit your grave due to old age or illness, they will come on my behalf and you will always be their relative. "

Liu Siqi has always been full of love and nostalgia for Mao Anying, and wanted to do something for him. After the TV series appeared, he thought about filming a TV series for him. One of the big reasons was the image of Mao Anying that appeared at that time , all stood dumbly behind Mao Zedong, as if they were a little dazed. "Empty shell".

Liu Siqi knew that Mao Anying was not such a person. He was a smart and passionate young man with firm revolutionary beliefs. She could not accept that Mao Anying was well-known to the world for filming a TV series. She was struggling with funding and other issues and had been put on hold. If she asked the central government for instructions, she would agree. However, it may be mixed with other things, and the Mao Anying presented may be different from that in life. For this reason, the matter was postponed until one day, Liu Siqi was recommended by a friend to be the director Liu Yiran. In addition to the materials, she also talked to Liu Yiran for 10 days. During the filming process, she made many pertinent questions based on her memories. Real advice. They followed Mao Anying's footsteps from China to North Korea.

When filming the film, Liu Siqi and the crew went to Russia specifically. At the Russian International Archives, Liu Siqi saw Mao Anying who was about 14 or 5 years old. File. That was filled in by Mao Anying himself, "Father, the leader of the Chinese revolution; mother, a martyr." "

On Mao Anying's party application form , Liu Siqi couldn't help but burst into tears after seeing the words "Fight for communism for life" written one by one on it. Mao Anying wrote this, and also used his own life to write it. To fulfill this promise...

After the filming of the TV series was completed, the staff showed Liu Siqi the sample film. Liu Siqi watched the TV series from beginning to end three times, and she cried from the beginning to the end.

She cried sadly, but she was also happy. I burst into tears every time I watched it, it was like going back in time, and I walked through it three more times. Anying's mischievous energy and persistent pursuit are all shown, which is very good. "

Summary

Later, a reporter once raised a hypothesis. If Mao Anying told Liu Siqi that he was going to fight in North Korea, maybe Liu Siqi could persuade him and change everything.

After hearing this, Liu Siqi sighed helplessly: "I stayed He couldn't help it, he had already decided everything when he said goodbye to me... When he said goodbye at the end, he bowed deeply to me, looked straight at me with his two eyes, then turned around and left. I didn't know anything at the time. I was dumbfounded and didn't understand why he was so excited. "

It was not until many years later that Liu Siqi understood that Mao Anying went there with the consciousness of sacrificing his life for the country. At that time, his eyes widened, perhaps because he wanted to deeply imprint his confused wife in his mind. To be in deep love and affection On the occasion of leaving his wife, he He must have been reluctant to leave his family. However, he still turned around and left firmly. No one else could interfere with his decision, nor could he change it. The answer has already been written: “Fight for communism for life! "
