On October 24, 1930, Chairman Mao’s wife Yang Kaihui was discovered by a spy when she went home to visit her mother and children. That night, the Kuomintang Department sent more than 80 people to surround Yang Kaihui’s home.

" If you want to fight or kill, it's up to you! But don't even want to get any news from me that you want to know. If you want Runzhi and I to break away from each other, don't even think about it! "

On October 24, 1930, Chairman Mao's wife Yang Kaihui was discovered by a spy when she went home to visit her mother and children. That night, the Kuomintang Department sent more than 80 people to surround Yang Kaihui's home.

Yang Kaihui and his 8-year-old son Mao Anying were arrested by the Kuomintang and were first detained at the "Qingxiang Headquarters" and then transferred to Changsha Army Prison.

In prison, the Chinese Democratic Party carried out various coercive and tempting behaviors against Yang Kaihui, but no matter how torture Yang Kaihui was, the answer he gave was only the opening sentence.

The Kuomintang army, who had not obtained any information from Yang Kaihui, was so angry that they executed Yang Kaihui outside the door of Liuyang on November 24. Yang Kaihui was only 29 years old when she was executed.

Nearly six years after Chairman Mao’s death, the manuscripts that Yang Kaihui hid in the wall at home were discovered. The lines on the manuscript revealed Yang Kaihui’s true feelings for Chairman Mao . If Chairman Mao saw these manuscripts when he was alive, his inner grief would definitely be a little more.

What did Yang Kaihui’s manuscript hidden in the wall write? Why can manuscripts that have been hidden for 52 years touch the heartstrings of people half a century later?

Mao Yang's love began with learning

Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui met in the spring of 1914. The acquaintance between the two was carried out by Chairman Mao's article as a red line.

Yang Kaihui was born in Bancang, Qingtai Township, Changsha, Hunan Province, and Chairman Mao was considered a fellow villager. Yang Kaihui's family can be regarded as a literary and artistic family. His father Yang Changji went abroad to study when Yang Kaihui was 2 years old.

Influenced by his distant father, Yang Kaihui was also very smart and studious since childhood. When Yang Kaihui started studying, her mother studied with Yang Kaihui, her mother was in the industrial class, and Yang Kaihui studied at the attached primary school class in the school.

Mother and daughter study together, both at that time and now, can be regarded as a good story. Later, after his father Yang Changji came back, he was very happy to see his daughter so smart and studious, so he decided to teach Yang Kaihui to study in person, so Yang Kaihui came to Changsha with his father.

Yang Kaihui, who studied with her father, naturally had the opportunity to read more books and learn more things. It was at this time that Chairman Mao appeared in Yang Kaihui's life.

At that time, Yang Changji was teaching at the Hunan Provincial First Normal School, and it happened that Chairman Mao was studying here at this time.

One day, Yang Kaihui was reading and studying in the study. When she heard her father correcting student notes outside, she praised her repeatedly. Yang Kaihui rarely saw her father praises this for which student she could give, so she hurriedly put down the book and came out of the house to find out.

After Yang Kaihui left the house, she quietly walked to her father Yang Changji. Seeing that his father was still praising the student notes he was holding, he asked his father: " Dad, who wrote this? It can make you so satisfied. "

Yang Changji turned his head when he heard his daughter's voice. Looking at his daughter, handed over the notes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look at learning, this is not very good."

Yang Kaihui took the notes in his father's hand. Seeing such excellent writing style, it is hard to imagine that this was written by a student. Seeing the signature on the notes became the first time Yang Kaihui saw Chairman Mao's name in his life.

Since then, Yang Kaihui has left an impression of Chairman Mao, because her father is Chairman Mao’s teacher, which also made Yang Kaihui meet Chairman Mao soon.

During his studies, Chairman Mao often asked for advice everywhere. When Yang Changji, who had returned from studying abroad, naturally, he was also indispensable to the above-mentioned advice. Yang Kaihui also met Chairman Mao when he came to study at home.

Yang Kaihui was attracted by Chairman Mao’s energetic and vibrant spirit, and Chairman Mao was also attracted by Yang Kaihui’s talented appearance.

Every time Chairman Mao came to discuss with Yang Kaihui's father Yang Changji, Yang Kaihui would move a small stool and sit aside, most of the time he would listen quietly, but occasionally he would take on a few topics that his father and Chairman Mao discussed.

A few words written by Yang Kaihui, taught by his father himself, can naturally be said to the point. Over time, Chairman Mao's mood was even more attracted by Yang Kaihui.

At this time, Chairman Mao only had Yang Kaihui in his heart. After all, Yang Kaihui was still young at this time, but after years of contact, the two fell in love in Beijing in 1918.

1918, Yang Kaihui's father Yang Changji came to Peking University to teach at . Yang Kaihui came to Beijing with his father. It happened that Chairman Mao organized a work-study trip to France in Beijing at this time.

The two who have known each other for many years have had more contact with each other this time. After a while, the two fell in love deeply because of like-minded ideas.

expresses love with poetry. The deeper love is lost, the more painful it is

When Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui were together, Yang Kaihui put forward three special requirements.

In that era, getting married was a very grand thing. Usually, it was done with a whole process. , but Yang Kaihui asked not to sit in a sedan chair, not to marry a dowry, and not to make a match. It can be said that the marriage tradition of folk customs was excluded, but this also met Yang Kaihui's requirement of "not doing anything ordinary people."

On the one hand, Yang Kaihui wants to "not do anything ordinary people" and on the other hand, he also loves Chairman Mao, conveys true feelings in his own way, and more importantly, protect Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao often cannot be with Yang Kaihui because of his participation in the revolution. When the two had just been together, Chairman Mao often had to leave Yang Kaihui briefly because of the revolution.

1921 Chairman Mao had to have a brief separation with Yang Kaihui. The poem " Yu Meiren·Pillow " was born as Chairman Mao's love for Yang Kaihui.

" piled up on the pillow, how sad it looks, the rivers and seas are waving. ..." The gracefulness in the poems shows that this is a work about love and longing. For Chairman Mao, in his thirties, he used poetry to express his true feelings for Yang Kaihui.

Later in 1922, the eldest son of the two was born. Shortly after the child was born, Chairman Mao was wanted by warlords and was forced to leave the mother and son again. At this time, Yang Kaihui was pregnant with her second child.

The two were separated by two places. In that era of inconvenience, the letters became the sustenance of their relationship. In the letter, Chairman Mao called Yang Kaihui only one word: "Xia", and in Yang Kaihui's letter to Chairman Mao, he also called him "Run", which shows the intimacy between the two.

During the time when Chairman Mao left, Yang Kaihui and Chairman Mao’s home at No. 22 Qingshuitang in the suburbs of Changsha became the location of the district committee, and Yang Kaihui also served as the confidential and liaison work of the district committee.

By 1923, Chairman Mao had briefly returned to Hunan once and lived at No. 22 Qingshuitang for a short time. For safety reasons, Chairman Mao quickly returned to Guangzhou again.

I have been together for several years and I have very little love. Every parting destroys the loving hearts of the two.

But in that era, there were few gatherings and separations. Chairman Mao, who participated in the revolution, was destined not to stay in one place for too long, and most of the time he could not take Yang Kaihui to travel with him.

At the end of December that year, Chairman Mao wanted to leave Yang Kaihui to go out to attend the revolutionary conference. The meeting was naturally important. Yang Kaihui understood and supported it.

Chairman Mao endured the reluctance in his heart to comfort Yang Kaihui and expressed his feelings with poems: "Wave your hand and go here. It's even more sad and sad. The corners of the eyes and eyebrows are full of hatred, and the tears are still there..."

Every parting is a pain in the hearts of both of them, but both of them know that if they want real longevity, insisting on revolution is the real road, and the separation now is for the longevity of the future.

In the days that followed, although Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui were together, they could understand each other's situation through the entrusting of letters and the transmission of information. Yang Kaihui also chose to work in the revolution in order to support Chairman Mao's revolution.

Later, Chairman Mao went to work in the Party Central Committee of Shanghai. Yang Kaihui, who missed Chairman Mao, came to Shanghai with her two children to assist Chairman Mao in the Shanghai office. Perhaps it was Yang Kaihui's happiest day to work with him.

During the time he was working in Shanghai, Yang Kaihui spontaneously organized female workers to start night school, and then followed Chairman Mao to Shaoshan to carry out the peasant movement. He had to open night school wherever he went, and changed from a female workers' night school in Shanghai to a peasant night school in Shaoshan. Yang Kaihui had never talked about the hardships in this process.

During that time in Shaoshan, Yang Kaihui helped many farmers gain knowledge from night schools, but Yang Kaihui always felt that she had not done enough. After the farmers' night schools stabilized, Yang Kaihui left Shaoshan and went to Guangzhou to assist Chairman Mao in his work.

We can see Yang Kaihui from the report compiled by Chairman Mao, because Yang Kaihui has collected and sorted out information and even wrote manuscripts on the report studied by Chairman Mao.

The time when working with Chairman Mao should be the happiest time when Yang Kaihui was the happiest time. From then on, no matter where Chairman Mao went to carry out the revolution, Yang Kaihui often had to follow Chairman Mao.

Whether it is Chairman Mao’s previous work in Shaoshan or the work he is doing in Guangzhou now, as long as Yang Kaihuineng and Chairman Mao are spent together, it seems so precious.

Seven years after Yang Kaihui and Chairman Mao got married, they already had three children at this time. Although they were together for a few years, in short, they were still happy in the end.

1 In August 2019, Yang Kaihui separated from Chairman Mao again. Chairman Mao was going to fight this time. It was different from the previous situation. This time the work was full of dangers, so Yang Kaihui was unable to accompany Chairman Mao.

Yang Kaihui was looking forward to Chairman Mao’s return to victory, but what neither of them expected was that this time the separation of the two was forever.

devoted himself to the revolution, the loving person is separated by yin and yang

Chairman Mao felt extremely sad after learning that Yang Kaihui was killed. The happy days he had been with Yang Kaihui in the past have now turned into grief.

Thinking of the separation and reunion again and again, Chairman Mao felt as if his heart was about to be torn apart.

In the end, Chairman Mao wrote to Yang Kaihui's relatives in 8 words to express his inner pain: "The death of Kaihui is not redeemable for all your bodies."

Behind the short eight characters is the pain in Chairman Mao's heart. For Yang Kaihui's death, the pain in this world may not be as good as the pain in Chairman Mao's heart. This feeling will not change even in the past few decades.

In February 1957, Yang Kaihui's friend asked Chairman Mao to copy the "Yu Meiren·Pillow" he once wrote to Yang Kaihui.

In response, Chairman Mao wrote "Butterfly Love Flower·Answer Li Shuyi" affectionately to reply to Yang Kaihui's friend Li Shuyi , with two lines of poetry: "Suddenly, he once heard that the tiger had been buried in the world, and tears suddenly turned into a pouring rain." You can feel that after decades, Chairman Mao still had extremely deep love for Yang Kaihui.

This love lasted until Chairman Mao’s death. However, just after Chairman Mao’s death, several manuscripts were found in Yang Kaihui’s former residence, allowing the love between Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui to be revealed to the world again.

manuscript was born, and the love reappeared

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's situation stabilized, and it was only then that the former residences of revolutionary martyrs began to be protected.

When Martyr Yang Kaihui's former residence was repaired twice in 1982 and 1990, the existence of Yang Kaihui's manuscript was discovered twice in the wall. From the handwriting of the manuscript, we can feel Yang Kaihui's affection for Chairman Mao.

" Today is your birthday, and I cannot forget it.In the manuscript of , Yang Kaihui recorded her longing for Chairman Mao in the form of a letter from home. During the days when she was separated, Yang Kaihui did not forget Chairman Mao’s birthday. On such days, she could not send blessings and could only use a pen to replace her heart and write down her longing and blessings.

" I heard that you are sick because of overwork. This is really not a small problem. Without me by your side, you will not pay attention and will never stop until death. " Yang Kaihui, who coaxed the child to sleep late at night, wrote this sentence. Although she was not by Chairman Mao, she was still paying attention to Chairman Mao's news and paid great attention to everything about Chairman Mao.

If it weren't for the reason why Yang Kaihui wanted to take care of three children, she would have run to Chairman Mao long ago. Yang Kaihui had to take care of both sides, which made her write on the manuscript that she was reluctant to part with Chairman Mao and could not leave the child.

The short sentences on the manuscript reflect the longing relationship of a affectionate woman for her husband, and at the same time, she had to take care of the entanglement of the child's inability to go to her husband.

No matter what aspect, people can touch their heartstrings after reading it, and it spans half a century. The love now appears before us and still touches us.

The revolutionary road of the last century made Yang Kaihui lose his life at a young age. Her love for Chairman Mao made her not afraid of the Kuomintang’s ruthless measures, and she was not afraid of death, but when facing children and Chairman Mao who was far away, she would show a wife who missed her husband.

The love between Yang Kaihui and Chairman Mao no matter how long it took, it could touch the soft heartstrings in the hearts of the world, and Yang Kaihui’s dedication also made us feel the tenacious beliefs of revolutionaries.

No matter which aspect, Yang Kaihui is worthy of commemoration by our world.
