In the winter of 1950, a bad news came back from North Korea. Chairman Mao’s eldest son Mao Anying unfortunately died heroically in a bombing by the US military.
The news was sent back to China, and those who received the news were shocked. It was only a month before Mao Anying went to North Korea to participate in the war.
As Chairman Mao’s eldest son, Mao Anying was highly expected by Chairman Mao. His sacrifice will be a serious blow to Chairman Mao, who has experienced life and death. Therefore, Chairman Mao did not learn about the bad news until more than a month later.
In addition to Chairman Mao, there is another person's emotions that make people have to worry about, that is Mao Anying's wife Liu Siqi. It has only been a year since their marriage to Mao Anying's death.
The fact that losing a lover is undoubtedly cruel to a girl in her early twenties. Therefore, Liu Siqi has not been able to get out of the shadow for more than ten years.
It was not until 1962 that Liu Siqi remarried Yang Maozhi, an Air Force instructor, and began a new life.
On November 25, 1950, the Volunteer Army headquarters far away in North Korea sent a telegram to Beijing: "......... Four enemy planes passed by at 11 o'clock, four of them had already come out. After the enemy planes passed, the four of them returned to the house, and suddenly four enemy planes came, dropping nearly 100 incendiary bombs and hitting the house. At that time, two staff members ran out. Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin were burned to death before they could run out, and there was no other loss."
This telegram came from Peng Dehuai, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army. At 16 pm that day, he finally picked up a pen and wrote the telegram, and the telegram was quickly sent to Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou received the telegram and was shocked by the content. His face turned ashen and he fell into great concern. At this time, Chairman Mao was participating in the command of the second battle, and his health was not very good recently.
At such a critical moment, if he had heard of this bad news, it would be hard to imagine how sad and painful Chairman Mao would feel. After all, this is his eldest son he values the most.
Therefore, Premier Zhou instructed not to give the telegram to Chairman Mao and to leave the matter aside first. But no matter what, it won’t take long to hide it, and the truth will always be revealed.
So, more than a month later, when I saw Chairman Mao gaining a moment of peace from his work and his health improved a lot, Ye Zilong walked to Chairman Mao with a telegram.
At that time, Chairman Mao had just woken up from his nap and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and was in a good mood.
But soon Chairman Mao's eyes became confused because he noticed that Ye Zilong's hand holding the file was trembling, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes. Chairman Mao, who was puzzled, took the document and looked at it solemnly.
At this time, Ye Zilong noticed that Chairman Mao's eyes suddenly turned from gentle to dull, and his face became increasingly ugly.
Three minutes, Chairman Mao's hand holding the telegram did not let go, his head had never moved, and his eyes were almost dull.
However, in this process, Chairman Mao never shed tears. Ye Zilong knew that Chairman Mao was trying his best to control his emotions.
After a little regaining his consciousness, Chairman Mao put down the telegram, looked at Premier Zhou's handwritten letter, and stared at the letter again for a few minutes.
After putting down the letter, Chairman Mao reached out to get the cigarette, but then put it back on the table. After a while, he picked it up again, but put it back again. After three repeated this, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
But at this time, Chairman Mao was obviously lost. The matchbox was clearly on the table, but he kept touching it in his pocket. Ye Zilong, who was next to
, quickly stepped forward and picked up the matchbox and lit a cigarette for Chairman Mao. Then, the atmosphere in the room became silent, and only the clicking sound of Chairman Mao smoking was kept ringing.
After a while, Chairman Mao finally said the first sentence: "War, people will always die. There are so many volunteers on the Korean battlefield who sacrifice their lives. Their sacrifice is glorious. Don't treat An Ying as a big event just because An Ying is my son."
At this time, Ye Zilong was choking, while Chairman Mao was still thinking.
Soon, Chairman Mao spoke again, saying: "Don't tell Siqi about this in advance. They have just gotten married. I'm afraid she can't bear the blow. "
At this moment, Chairman Mao still chose to face the suffering strongly, and silently endured him, leaving the warmth to others.
Liu Siqi, also known as Liu Songlin, is Chairman Mao's eldest daughter-in-law. She is the daughter of the revolutionary martyr Liu Qianchu , and her mother is Zhang Wenqiu.
As early as the Revolutionary , when Liu Qianchu had just gotten married, Chairman Mao said to Liu Qianchu: "Others wish you a child soon, but I want to wish you a daughter soon, I have two sons, you have two daughters, and we can become in-laws in the future. "
No one expected that this joke became a reality in the future.
Liu Qianchu later died at the hands of the Kuomintang, and Liu Siqi was born as a posthumous son. Later, Zhang Wenqi remarried Chen Zhenya on Yan'an and gave birth to Liu Siqi's half-sister Shao Hua.
Chen Zhenya was killed by Shengshicai in Xinjiang on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War. Zhang Wenqiu took two daughters to Dihua for four years.
It was not until that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated with each other and Zhang Wenqiu returned to Yan'an. It was also in Yan'an that Liu Siqi met Mao Anying, who returned from the Soviet Union, and set a lifelong relationship.
After founding ceremony in 1949, Chairman Mao followed his promise and held a wedding for Mao Anying and Liu Siqi.
The wedding was very simple at that time. Chairman Mao, as his father-in-law, even gave the newlyweds only a coat. He also said: "I only have such a coat that Anying can wear during the day and can cover it on the quilt at night, which is considered that you both have a share. "
Chairman Mao was so happy at that time. His son, who had been struggling for more than ten years, finally got married and started a business. It was a great comfort for him and was enough to comfort his deceased wife Yang Kaihui.
But who would have thought that Mao Anying died in North Korea a year later, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chairman Mao.
However, Chairman Mao still silently inherited with his usual strength. In pain, he cared for Liu Siqi, whom he regarded as his daughter.
Mao Anying went to North Korea, Liu Siqi was unaware of it and only thought he was on a business trip. But Mao Anying had been there for many years and had no news. Liu Siqi couldn't sit still at this time and came to Chairman Mao's residence many times, both to visit Chairman Mao and to inquire about Mao Anying.
Every time, Chairman Mao would only shy away It is said that Mao Anying was on a business trip, but the work content was kept confidential and he would come back after the work. As a relative of the central leader, Liu Siqi also knew the pros and cons, so he believed in Chairman Mao's words.
Until 1952, Liu Siqi's friend Hou Bo handed her a photo. It was a photo of Mao Anying. In the photo, he was wearing a military uniform and a military cap, which was clearly the uniform of the Volunteer Army and the military cap of the Korean People's Army.
At this moment, Liu Siqi woke up. Mao Anying went to North Korea. He went to the battlefield! However, the war had ended at this time and most of the volunteer troops had returned to China. Why didn’t Mao Anying come back?
Thinking of this, Liu Siqi quickly ran to Chairman Mao’s residence, and handed him the photo and asked: "Dad, has An Ying gone to North Korea? After he left, he sent a letter. What was going on? "
The matter has come to this point, and Chairman Mao has nowhere to hide it, so he can only say: "Siqi, Anying is no longer here. "
After three years, the onlookers could still feel the sad tone from Chairman Mao's tone, which made the listeners move.
When he heard the bad news, Liu Siqi's mind was blank. She was stunned for a long time and suddenly started to cry. Chairman Mao was always sitting on the side, and his emotions were also infected by Liu Siqi, and he was silently in a daze there.
After a long time, Premier Zhou, who was alarmed by the crying, walked in. After witnessing everything in front of him, he quickly persuaded Liu Siqi: "Siqi, stop crying, your father's hands are cold. In the winter of 1950, a bad news came back from North Korea. Chairman Mao’s eldest son Mao Anying unfortunately died heroically in a bombing by the US military. The news was sent back to China, and those who received the news were shocked.

After a long time, Premier Zhou, who was alarmed by the crying, walked in. After witnessing everything in front of him, he quickly persuaded Liu Siqi: "Siqi, stop crying, your father's hands are cold." At this time, Liu Siqi came to her senses. She choked and said to Chairman Mao: "Dad, I won't cry anymore. Anying will be sad if she knows it. " Chairman Mao could only comfort her and say : "Child, you will be my daughter in the future. " Liu Siqi's crying slowly stopped. She sat in a daze for a while, and then left. Before leaving, Chairman Mao handed her three sleeping pills and said: "Take one before going to bed, you can have a good sleep. " After taking the medicine, Liu Siqi slowly walked out of the room. Looking at her back as she left, Chairman Mao's expression was so painful. Liu Siqi returned home, but she never walked out of the shadow and was unwilling to accept this fact. She always thought that An Ying was not dead, or that she would not accept this fact before seeing Mao Anying's body or grave. After learning that Liu Siqi was in a daze all day long, Chairman Mao was very uneasy. The thing he was most worried about was still happening. Liu Siqi, like Mao Anying, is a miserable child. She has not given birth to a father and lost her husband as an adult. There are too many sufferings in her life, which makes people feel distressed. In order to help Liu Siqi get out of the shadow, Mao The Chairman planned to send her to study abroad, so that she could stay away from the familiar environment and avoid contact with everything related to Anying. So, Chairman Mao paid for the money, and Liu Siqi was sent to Moscow University to study in the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics. However, this method did not work. During the two years in Moscow, Chairman Mao often wrote letters to understand Liu Siqi's dynamics. As a result, he found that Liu Siqi not only did not get out of the shadow, but also suffered great physical and psychological suffering because of the unacceptable environment and local conditions, so he often fell ill and his academic performance was not smooth. In fact, before Moscow was reached, Liu Siqi suffered from a severe cold. When she wrote to Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao replied: "Siqier: I received the letter, I caught a severe cold, and I recovered for a long time, so I could help go abroad. Today is better, I hope to come here, otherwise I don’t come. The most important thing is to strive for a breath and learn to serve the country. Good wishes, the word "father". ” From this letter, we can see that Chairman Mao’s care for Liu Siqi is like a kind father. One semester after Liu Siqi arrived at Moscow University, Chairman Mao wrote to her again and said: "Dear Siqier: I have received all the letters to me, I am very happy. I hope you will pay attention to your health, not get sick, and study hard. We are all well, don't think it's up. Domestic socialism is rising, do you have domestic newspapers? You should find newspapers and read some domestic news, and don’t be too isolated from the domestic situation. " In the past, Chairman Mao would only say "Dear" in a letter to his wife and children. Now Chairman Mao said this to Liu Siqi, obviously completely treating Liu Siqi as a member of the family. However, because his study and life in Moscow was not smooth, Liu Siqi applied to the organization in 1957 to transfer back to China to continue his studies and studied at Peking University to study at Russian literature .
After Liu Siqi returned to China, facing Liu Siqi, who was almost his own daughter, Chairman Mao thought that such a young child should not be allowed to remain widowed and that she should reorganize a family.
But Liu Siqi never considered this. Chairman Mao’s statements and hints were repeatedly rejected by Liu Siqi.
When he was studying at Peking University , because Liu Siqi often had a headache, Chairman Mao wrote to her and said: "Daughter: Be careful of brain pain, because it is because of too much learning. There is also always going to get married, why do you always refuse to listen to advice? Make up your mind to get married, it's time. The five minds are uneasy and lose completely. It is a common problem for girls like you to be high or low, right? It is not? The letter comes, and I reply to it in hope. "
A year later, Chairman Mao said to her again: "Siqi, you are still very young, you can't just live like this for the rest of your life. Let your father find a partner for you, right? "
Although Liu Siqi did not respond in person, she asked her sister Shao Hua to tell Chairman Mao: "Although An Ying is no longer here, I have not fulfilled my wife's responsibilities and have not been able to sweep his grave.I will not remarry if I don’t pay tribute to Anying. "
At this time, it had been eight years since Mao Anying died, and Liu Siqi never opened the knot in his heart. Chairman Mao naturally understood that she would not come out if she did not allow her to visit Mao Anying.
After Mao Anying died, someone suggested that Mao Anying's body be transported back, but Peng Dehuai suggested that he stay in North Korea and buried it with other sacrificed comrades as a witness to a period of history.
Prince Zhou agreed with this, and Chairman Mao also said: "The Communists will be buried wherever they die! ”
So, Mao Anying's body was not transported back, but was placed in the Martyrs Cemetery in Huicang, Chengchuan County, and was buried in North Korea with many volunteer soldiers.
The matter has come to this point, and it seems that Liu Siqi must go to North Korea. So, in February 1959, Chairman Mao agreed to Liu Siqi go to North Korea to worship Mao Anying, and at the same time, this was also a visit to his son for his father.
Chairman Mao gave instructions on this trip: 1. No report is allowed; 2. No money from the country is allowed; 3. No disturbance to the North Korea side.
Chairman Mao did not want this matter to be widely publicized, so he paid his own money to support his daughter-in-law's trip.
At that time, Liu Siqi accompanied his sister Shao Hua and Chairman Mao’s secretary Shen Tong, and then came to the cemetery of the Chinese Embassy in North Korea in Huicang County.
When I saw Mao Anying’s tombstone, Liu Siqi couldn’t control her emotions and burst into tears. She choked and said: "An Ying, I’m here to see you, on behalf of my father, I’ve come here for so many years, I’m late..."
Before leaving, Liu Siqi grabbed a handful of loess from under the tombstone and wrapped it with a handkerchief, as the last one Memorial.
When Liu Siqi was about to leave, he was recognized by the cemetery manager based on the name on the wreath. The staff reported to the Central Committee of North Korea. The North Korean side urgently contacted the embassy to hope for a grand reception, but the embassy refused.
Back in the country, Liu Siqi explained everything about the cemetery in detail to Chairman Mao. In Chairman Mao's mind, he seemed to see the place where his beloved son sleeps.
What Chairman Mao did not expect was that Liu Siqi not only did not improve after returning to China, but was seriously ill because of his mood being too low and he was admitted to the hospital.
This incident made Chairman Mao very upset Regret, regretting that he shouldn't let Liu Siqi go to North Korea, he could only try his best to comfort Liu Siqi and help her recover as soon as possible.
It's time for the knot to be opened. After Liu Siqi recovered, he finally came out of more than ten years of pain.
Because he had not remarried for many years, Liu Siqi caused a lot of gossip. At this time, Liu Siqi finally agreed to remarry. Chairman Mao was very happy after hearing the news and quickly asked someone to discuss the matter.
Not long after, Liu Zhen, deputy commander of the Air Force and dean of the Air Force Academy, recommended a person to Chairman Mao, and he was Yang Maozhi. Yang Maozhi is from Tangshan, Hebei. His parents are both local fishermen and have a good family background.
Chairman Mao chose the partner for his children, and tried his best to find the workers and peasants class, only to see whether the person is worth relying on, regardless of whether he came from a famous family. Yang Maozhi obviously met Chairman Mao's expectations.
After participating in the revolution, Yang Maozhi has always performed well. He is now a regiment-level cadre and serves as a deputy division-level teacher in the Aerospace Academy's attack aircraft teaching and research department.
Chairman Mao was very satisfied with this. He wrote to his mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu and said: "I asked someone to find a friend for Siqi. I think this person is good, and I don't know what your opinion is. If you think you are satisfied, you can introduce you to meet Siqi and let them develop their own relationship. If the relationship between them is mature, you will entrust you to hold a wedding for them."
But Chairman Mao was not clear. Liu Siqi was not completely unfamiliar with Yang Maozhi. When Liu Siqi went to study in Moscow, Yang Maozhi happened to study with the Air Force combat hero Zhang Jihui at the Soviet Red Flag Air Force Academy. They met at the party, but there was no communication.
Now, after Chairman Mao's help, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi began to interact, and the exchanges between the two sides were quite smooth.
So, on December 31, 1961, Liu Siqi told Chairman Mao about his marriage on the eve of New Year's Day. Chairman Mao was very happy to hear the news. He immediately wrote two of his new works " Bu Suanzi·Yongmei " and "Seven-character · and Comrade Guo Moruo" to Liu Siqi as a commemoration.
When Liu Siqi got married in February of the following year, Chairman Mao gave another 300 yuan as dowry.
Shortly after the marriage, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi returned to Zhongnanhai to visit Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao and his new son-in-law had a very speculative conversation, which shows that he agrees with Yang Maozhi very much, which also makes Chairman Mao feel more at ease.
Another year later, Liu Siqi gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a son. After discussion, the couple named the son "Yang Xiaoying" to show their nostalgia for Mao Anying. Later, Liu Siqi gave birth to two daughters and one son, and had a happy big family.
and because Liu Siqi has always adhered to Chairman Mao's diligence and simplicity spirit , and whether she is a translator or an Air Force instructor, Yang Maozhi had a low salary at that time, and there was no pressure to support four children to grow up, but it was not easy to train them to become a talent.
In the mid-1980s, Yang Xiaoying had successfully graduated and worked in an trading company . Liu Siqi's two daughters were about to take the college entrance examination, and her youngest son was also going to high school.
Liu Siqi also complained to others: "If both daughters go to self-paid college, then I can't stand it." "
At this time, someone else couldn't help but ask her: "Did Chairman Mao not give you money? "
Liu Siqi replied: "No, it's all my collection of Lao Yang and I little by little. "
In fact, although Chairman Mao's salary reached more than 300 yuan that year, the money was not enough for their family to live. Chairman Mao's other income was royalties, which was as much as one million yuan, which was a huge sum at that time.
Liu Siqi went to Moscow to study at university and to worship Mao Anying in North Korea, and the expenses were all paid out from this money. But after Chairman Mao's death, he gave the money All were handed over to the country, and there was no plan to leave it to the children.
Later, the central government took into account that Chairman Mao’s three children had a difficult life, so they took out part of the money and gave each of them a few thousand yuan subsidies, but this obviously would not include Liu Siqi anymore.
And just when Liu Siqi was facing financial difficulties, a publishing agency found her. I hope she will write a memoir, including the relationship between Chairman Mao and Liu Qianchu and her husband and wife to her current family. The compensation for this memoir of 200,000 words will be enough to cover the cost of her children's college.
Gradually, the children have started their own families and started their own businesses, and Liu Siqi has become a white-haired old man. The passage of time has taken away the face of youth, but it has never erased the mark of the past.
Until Liu Siqi passed away at the age of 92 in Beijing in 2022, she never forgot Mao Anying.
2006, she set foot on the land of North Korea for the last time to visit her lover under the underworld and said: "An Ying, if I cannot sweep the grave for you because of my age or illness, they will come on behalf of me, and you will always be their relative. ”
For Liu Siqi, her first half of her life did go through ups and downs. Her father was killed and she was imprisoned twice. She was in jail for at least her childhood. She finally had an adoptive father, but she quickly left her.
But Liu Siqi was so lucky. She met and fell in love with Mao Anying and entered the marriage hall, thus having a kind father, a father who always cared for her.
In the most difficult decade of Liu Siqi's life, it was with Chairman Mao's support that allowed her to tenaciously support her and started a new life.
In Liu Siqi's story, Chairman Mao is obviously an important existence. From beginning to end, he assumed the role of a kind father and was silently giving.
Chairman Mao is a great man. His body is tall and his chest is equally broad. He always protects everyone. Only he himself suffers unspeakable sorrow and pain. Whether as a leader or as a father, he is awe-inspiring existence.
I will not remarry if I don’t pay tribute to Anying. "At this time, it had been eight years since Mao Anying died, and Liu Siqi never opened the knot in his heart. Chairman Mao naturally understood that she would not come out if she did not allow her to visit Mao Anying.
After Mao Anying died, someone suggested that Mao Anying's body be transported back, but Peng Dehuai suggested that he stay in North Korea and buried it with other sacrificed comrades as a witness to a period of history.
Prince Zhou agreed with this, and Chairman Mao also said: "The Communists will be buried wherever they die! ”
So, Mao Anying's body was not transported back, but was placed in the Martyrs Cemetery in Huicang, Chengchuan County, and was buried in North Korea with many volunteer soldiers.
The matter has come to this point, and it seems that Liu Siqi must go to North Korea. So, in February 1959, Chairman Mao agreed to Liu Siqi go to North Korea to worship Mao Anying, and at the same time, this was also a visit to his son for his father.
Chairman Mao gave instructions on this trip: 1. No report is allowed; 2. No money from the country is allowed; 3. No disturbance to the North Korea side.
Chairman Mao did not want this matter to be widely publicized, so he paid his own money to support his daughter-in-law's trip.
At that time, Liu Siqi accompanied his sister Shao Hua and Chairman Mao’s secretary Shen Tong, and then came to the cemetery of the Chinese Embassy in North Korea in Huicang County.
When I saw Mao Anying’s tombstone, Liu Siqi couldn’t control her emotions and burst into tears. She choked and said: "An Ying, I’m here to see you, on behalf of my father, I’ve come here for so many years, I’m late..."
Before leaving, Liu Siqi grabbed a handful of loess from under the tombstone and wrapped it with a handkerchief, as the last one Memorial.
When Liu Siqi was about to leave, he was recognized by the cemetery manager based on the name on the wreath. The staff reported to the Central Committee of North Korea. The North Korean side urgently contacted the embassy to hope for a grand reception, but the embassy refused.
Back in the country, Liu Siqi explained everything about the cemetery in detail to Chairman Mao. In Chairman Mao's mind, he seemed to see the place where his beloved son sleeps.
What Chairman Mao did not expect was that Liu Siqi not only did not improve after returning to China, but was seriously ill because of his mood being too low and he was admitted to the hospital.
This incident made Chairman Mao very upset Regret, regretting that he shouldn't let Liu Siqi go to North Korea, he could only try his best to comfort Liu Siqi and help her recover as soon as possible.
It's time for the knot to be opened. After Liu Siqi recovered, he finally came out of more than ten years of pain.
Because he had not remarried for many years, Liu Siqi caused a lot of gossip. At this time, Liu Siqi finally agreed to remarry. Chairman Mao was very happy after hearing the news and quickly asked someone to discuss the matter.
Not long after, Liu Zhen, deputy commander of the Air Force and dean of the Air Force Academy, recommended a person to Chairman Mao, and he was Yang Maozhi. Yang Maozhi is from Tangshan, Hebei. His parents are both local fishermen and have a good family background.
Chairman Mao chose the partner for his children, and tried his best to find the workers and peasants class, only to see whether the person is worth relying on, regardless of whether he came from a famous family. Yang Maozhi obviously met Chairman Mao's expectations.
After participating in the revolution, Yang Maozhi has always performed well. He is now a regiment-level cadre and serves as a deputy division-level teacher in the Aerospace Academy's attack aircraft teaching and research department.
Chairman Mao was very satisfied with this. He wrote to his mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu and said: "I asked someone to find a friend for Siqi. I think this person is good, and I don't know what your opinion is. If you think you are satisfied, you can introduce you to meet Siqi and let them develop their own relationship. If the relationship between them is mature, you will entrust you to hold a wedding for them."
But Chairman Mao was not clear. Liu Siqi was not completely unfamiliar with Yang Maozhi. When Liu Siqi went to study in Moscow, Yang Maozhi happened to study with the Air Force combat hero Zhang Jihui at the Soviet Red Flag Air Force Academy. They met at the party, but there was no communication.
Now, after Chairman Mao's help, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi began to interact, and the exchanges between the two sides were quite smooth.
So, on December 31, 1961, Liu Siqi told Chairman Mao about his marriage on the eve of New Year's Day. Chairman Mao was very happy to hear the news. He immediately wrote two of his new works " Bu Suanzi·Yongmei " and "Seven-character · and Comrade Guo Moruo" to Liu Siqi as a commemoration.
When Liu Siqi got married in February of the following year, Chairman Mao gave another 300 yuan as dowry.
Shortly after the marriage, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi returned to Zhongnanhai to visit Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao and his new son-in-law had a very speculative conversation, which shows that he agrees with Yang Maozhi very much, which also makes Chairman Mao feel more at ease.
Another year later, Liu Siqi gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a son. After discussion, the couple named the son "Yang Xiaoying" to show their nostalgia for Mao Anying. Later, Liu Siqi gave birth to two daughters and one son, and had a happy big family.
and because Liu Siqi has always adhered to Chairman Mao's diligence and simplicity spirit , and whether she is a translator or an Air Force instructor, Yang Maozhi had a low salary at that time, and there was no pressure to support four children to grow up, but it was not easy to train them to become a talent.
In the mid-1980s, Yang Xiaoying had successfully graduated and worked in an trading company . Liu Siqi's two daughters were about to take the college entrance examination, and her youngest son was also going to high school.
Liu Siqi also complained to others: "If both daughters go to self-paid college, then I can't stand it." "
At this time, someone else couldn't help but ask her: "Did Chairman Mao not give you money? "
Liu Siqi replied: "No, it's all my collection of Lao Yang and I little by little. "
In fact, although Chairman Mao's salary reached more than 300 yuan that year, the money was not enough for their family to live. Chairman Mao's other income was royalties, which was as much as one million yuan, which was a huge sum at that time.
Liu Siqi went to Moscow to study at university and to worship Mao Anying in North Korea, and the expenses were all paid out from this money. But after Chairman Mao's death, he gave the money All were handed over to the country, and there was no plan to leave it to the children.
Later, the central government took into account that Chairman Mao’s three children had a difficult life, so they took out part of the money and gave each of them a few thousand yuan subsidies, but this obviously would not include Liu Siqi anymore.
And just when Liu Siqi was facing financial difficulties, a publishing agency found her. I hope she will write a memoir, including the relationship between Chairman Mao and Liu Qianchu and her husband and wife to her current family. The compensation for this memoir of 200,000 words will be enough to cover the cost of her children's college.
Gradually, the children have started their own families and started their own businesses, and Liu Siqi has become a white-haired old man. The passage of time has taken away the face of youth, but it has never erased the mark of the past.
Until Liu Siqi passed away at the age of 92 in Beijing in 2022, she never forgot Mao Anying.
2006, she set foot on the land of North Korea for the last time to visit her lover under the underworld and said: "An Ying, if I cannot sweep the grave for you because of my age or illness, they will come on behalf of me, and you will always be their relative. ”
For Liu Siqi, her first half of her life did go through ups and downs. Her father was killed and she was imprisoned twice. She was in jail for at least her childhood. She finally had an adoptive father, but she quickly left her.
But Liu Siqi was so lucky. She met and fell in love with Mao Anying and entered the marriage hall, thus having a kind father, a father who always cared for her.
In the most difficult decade of Liu Siqi's life, it was with Chairman Mao's support that allowed her to tenaciously support her and started a new life.
In Liu Siqi's story, Chairman Mao is obviously an important existence. From beginning to end, he assumed the role of a kind father and was silently giving.
Chairman Mao is a great man. His body is tall and his chest is equally broad. He always protects everyone. Only he himself suffers unspeakable sorrow and pain. Whether as a leader or as a father, he is awe-inspiring existence.
