When it comes to Chairman Mao’s wife, most people will think of a name - Yang Kaihui.

Before Chairman Mao married Yang Kaihui, he had a wife, Luo Yixiu. However, because it was an arranged marriage, Chairman Mao has always been reluctant to admit that she is his wife and always regards her as his sister. Therefore, although the two are in the name of husband and wife, they always get along as siblings.

So, although Yang Kaihui is Chairman Mao’s second wife, on the other hand, she is the first wife recognized by Chairman Mao. Of course, she is also Chairman Mao’s lifelong love.

1927, Mao Zedong went to Jinggangshan to launch the Autumn Harvest Uprising, while Yang Kaihui stayed behind to take care of the children and continued to develop the party organization. However, Yang Kaihui, who was in her hometown three years later, was unfortunately arrested. Facing the enemy's request to ask Mao Zedong about where he was and to ask her to publicly break off from the husband-wife relationship with Mao Zedong.

Yang Kaihui said firmly: "I want Mao Zedong and I to break away from the relationship between husband and wife unless the sea is gone."

became angry and angry enemy. On November 14, 1930, Yang Kaihui was killed in literacy ridge outside the door of Liuyang . Chairman Mao was heartbroken after learning the news.

15 years later, Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong's eldest son Mao Anying returned from the Soviet Union. When Mao Anying said Yang Kaihui's last words before his death, Mao Zedong was already in tears before he could finish his hearing.

What is Yang Kaihui's last words before his death? Why did Chairman Mao no longer control his emotions before he could finish listening?

Lifetime love Yang Kaihui

Yang Kaihui is different from Mao Zedong, a farmer-born man. Their ancestors of the Yang family were all wealthy families in Bancang, Changsha County, Hunan Province.

His father Yang Changji was a famous theorist and educator at that time. He has studied in Japan and the United Kingdom, and has also visited Germany for field visits. Therefore, Yang Changji had in-depth research and understanding of the education, ethics and philosophy of the East and the West at that time. This made Yang Changji act differently from other fathers - to get the words for his daughter.

I believe many people don’t know that Yang Kaihui actually has another word. It is said that on the morning when Yang Kaihui was born, there were thousands of red clouds above the Bancang, which was very beautiful. Therefore, after her daughter was born, Yang Changji named her daughter Yang Kaihui, with the nickname Xia and her courtesy name Yunjin.

Because of having such an open-minded father, Yang Kaihui broke the precedent for no girls in Bancang to study, and entered the school with the help of her family at the age of 7. He studied at Yanggongmiao Primary School, Yinchu Girls' School, Hengcui Girls' School and the County No. 1 Girls' School.

In addition to going to school, Yang Kaihui’s favorite thing is to listen to his father’s recounting his experiences abroad. Therefore, Yang Kaihui can be said to have been exposed to advanced ideas since childhood.

Yang Kaihui grew up in such an environment, is lively, cheerful and well-educated. Although she is a rich girl, she does not have the arrogance of a rich girl.

People like Yang Kaihui should have no social relationship with Mao Zedong, but fate is so wonderful.

1913, Mao Zedong was admitted to Hunan Provincial No. 1 Normal School. At this time, Yang Changji was teaching in this school.

Yang Changji is open-minded and different from many teachers. Coupled with his rich study abroad experience, students can gain a lot of knowledge in his class and hear many theoretical insights that are different from those in China. Therefore, many students liked his class very much, and Mao Zedong was one of them.

It sounds like Mao Zedong just likes Yang Changji's class and has no chance to get in touch with Yang Kaihui. But the fact is that Mao Zedong had to learn everything he wanted to learn, no matter which course he was, so when he encountered difficulties, he often went to Yang Changji's home to ask.

Yang Changji is naturally very welcome to such a studious student. Over time, Yang Changji discovered Mao Zedong's proud talent and gradually regarded him as his most proud student. While Mao Zedong asked Yang Changji for advice, he also admired this teacher more and more. The relationship between teachers and students is getting deeper and deeper.

Therefore, in this process, Mao Zedong met Yang Kaihui. Looking at this unique girl, Mao Zedong was quietly moved.

And Yang Kaihui is facing this person who can always talk freely in front of his father, has lofty ambitions, and is deeply admired by his father, is also loved by him.

As the number of meetings increases, the two become more and more intimate.

1918, Yang Changji left Hunan Provincial No. 1 Normal School and went to Peking University to Peking University , a professor of human ethics. Since then, Yang Kaihui followed her family to Beijing.

Not long after, Mao Zedong followed the arrangements of Yang Changji and Cai Hesen to Beijing, and under the arrangements of Yang Changji, he entered the Peking University Library to work.

During the period when he was working at Peking University, the relationship between Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui quickly heated up. Mao Zedong, 25, often took 17-year-old Yang Kaihui to stroll on the streets of Beijing, telling the love and common ideals of both sides.

1920, 19-year-old Yang Kaihui married 27-year-old Mao Zedong. This wedding is undoubtedly "shy" for a rich girl.

At that time, they only used 6 yuan ocean to treat relatives and friends to a meal, and there was no sedan chair or phoenix crown and robe. But this is already the best wedding for Yang Kaihui. It is not a problem to be able to marry Mao Zedong, who has shared the ideals and beliefs of .

Heroic sacrifice

1921, Yang Kaihui joined the Communist Party of China and became one of the earliest female members of our party. He is struggling with Mao Zedong and those who share common beliefs and ideals on the front line of the revolution.

Not long after, in order to cover up Mao Zedong, Yang Kaihui retreated to the second line and became a liaison officer to convey messages to the Party and Mao Zedong at various locations.

In addition, Yang Kaihui was also Mao Zedong's "secretary" and often helped him draft documents and organize report materials.

1925, Yang Kaihui assisted Mao Zedong in establishing one of the earliest party branches in rural China—the Shaoshan Branch of the Communist Party of China in Hunan.

In April 1927, Yang Kaihui gave birth to their third child, Mao Anyong. In July, the Revolution failed and our party was shrouded in white terror. In September, Mao Zedong launched the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the Hunan-Jiangxi border according to the organization.

, and Yang Kaihui returned to the board warehouse to continue the underground work under the arrangement of the organization. But soon after, Yang Kaihui lost contact with the organization and Mao Zedong.

Even under such circumstances, Yang Kaihui still did not retreat. She worked hard to develop party members and continued to work hard for three years.

Until October 1930, Yang Kaihui was unfortunately arrested by the enemy after returning home after finishing her work.

After Yang Kaihui was arrested, the enemy forced her to hand over the list of party organization personnel and Mao Zedong's mailing address. But how could Yang Kaihui betray the party organization?

Under various tortures from the enemy, Yang Kaihui gritted her teeth and only said the three words " don't know " from beginning to end. The enemy looked at Yang Kaihui who was so stubborn, and thought of another move.

They brought Yang Kaihui to reporters, saying that as long as Yang Kaihui publicly declared that she was divorced from Mao Zedong, she could be free.

When Yang Kaihui heard this, he said bluntly: "I want to break away from Mao Zedong unless the sea is gone! I am not willing to die, and I hope the Runzhi Revolution will succeed as soon as possible."

The enemy immediately decided to kill Yang Kaihui, who was so "unfair" and immediately decided to kill him.

At 1:00 p.m. on November 14, 1930, Yang Kaihui was executed bravely at the execution ground of Zhilingling outside Liuyang Gate in Changsha at the age of 29.

Mao Zedong felt dizzy after seeing the news in the newspaper and almost fainted. Immediately wrote a letter to Yang Kaihui's family, which read " Kaihui's death, no one can redeem it. "

The eldest son told his beloved wife's last words

At the beginning, after Yang Kaihui was arrested, she and Mao Zedong's eldest son Mao Anying were also imprisoned by the enemy by the enemy.

Mao Anying saw with his own eyes that his mother would be taken back to their cell with scars shortly after being called for interrogation.

Mao Anying was only eight years old at that time. At a young age, he looked at his scarred mother and could not do anything. He could only listen to his mother comforting himself with tears.

Mao Anying didn't know when this kind of day would end, and when would he and his mother go home.

However, in the early morning of November 14, a team of soldiers came to the prison and wanted to take Yang Kaihui away.

At that time, Yang Kaihui obviously felt something. She said to her son: "After meeting her father tomorrow, I will tell her father for her. I did not do anything to betray the party or betray her father. I will always love her father."

Although Mao Anying was young, he also understood that his mother was leaving him at this time. He couldn't help crying bitterly. When Yang Kaihui was taken away, he kept shouting "Mom", but Yang Kaihui never turned around.

The deceased at that time felt unbearable and told Yang Kaihui that it would be too late to "look back" now. After being rejected by Yang Kaihui, she promised that her mother would take the child away.

After Yang Kaihui was murdered, Mao Anying was sent home. Afterwards, Mao Anying and Mao Anying lived with his grandmother.

At this time, Zhou Enlai received news that Old Mrs. Yang was raising three children. In order to avoid implicating the Yang family, and also to ensure the safety of the three children. He arranged for underground party members to send his three children to Shanghai.

Not long after, the underground party organization was destroyed, and the three brothers Mao Anying were temporarily stuck on the streets. In order to support his younger brother, Mao Anying tried every means to make money.

But who is willing to hire three young children? Therefore, the three brothers were hungry almost every day. To make matters worse, the three brothers will be bullied by gangsters from time to time.

In this process, Mao Anying suffered a brain injury and suffered from the sequelae of headache. The youngest Mao Anyong was also missing (some say he died of illness at that time).

Here, Mao Anying brothers are wandering outside. The party organizations there are also constantly looking for the whereabouts of the three brothers. In order to avoid persecution of Mao Anying's brothers, the party organization has been searching carefully. This also led to them not being found until 1936. After finding Mao Anying's brothers, the party organization learned that Mao Anyong was no longer there, and in grief, he decided to arrange them to a safer Soviet Union. Since then, Mao Anying and Mao Anying lived in the Soviet Union for 10 years.

At the end of 1945, Mao Anying returned to China. After Mao Zedong found out, he was extremely excited. After Mao Anying arrived at Yan'an , he immediately met him.

When facing his son whom he had not seen for more than ten years, Mao Zedong's first words were: "What did your mother say before leaving?"

mentioned his mother, and Mao Anying also turned red in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Mom wants me to tell you that she did not do anything to betray the party or betray her father. She will always love her father."

Mao Zedong burst into tears after hearing this, and wrote again, " Kaihui's death, no one can redeem her forever. "

After Yang Kaihui's death, Mao Zedong never stopped missing her. Sometimes when you look at the bright moon in the sky, you will think of your beloved wife Yang Kaihui.

This materialist would not help but think that in ancient times, there was a saying that Yang Kaihui would also go to the moon. Will she see that he has realized the common revolutionary ideal of both.

1957, after Mao Zedong received a poem by Yang Kaihui when he was young, the widow of Martyr Liu Zhixun, who was also Mao Zedong's comrade-in-arms, Li Shuyi , he immediately wrote "Butterfly Love Flower·Answer Li Shuyi":

I lost my arrogance, Yang Jun lost my willow,
The willow is lightly rising to the sky nine.
asked Wu Gang and He,
Wu Gang brought out osmanthus wine .
The lonely Chang'e spreads her sleeves, and
0,000 miles away and dances for her loyal soul.
Suddenly, the tiger was buried in the world, and tears suddenly turned into a pouring rain.

Among them, is Yang refers to Yang Kaihui.

Mao Zedong never forgot Yang Kaihui from beginning to end. In addition to his daily longing, he also wrote letters to care for his mother-in-law's family from time to time. Because he could not leave, Mao Zedong often asked Mao Anying to go home to visit Yang Kaihui's grave and fulfill his filial piety in front of his grandmother.

summary

Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong fell in love freely in that era. The two were both lovers and revolutionary comrades-in-arms. The relationship between them was incomparable to anyone. That's why she said: wants Mao Zedong and I to break away from a husband-wife relationship unless the sea is gone.

And Yang Kaihui's revolutionary spirit of unyielding death is also admirable. Facing the child behind her, she resolutely chose to safeguard the secrets of the party.
