If you don’t study for three days, you won’t be able to catch up with Liu Shaoqi.

Chairman Mao 's catchphrase is widely circulated in society, which is enough to prove Chairman Mao's recognition of Liu Shaoqi's ability, and the close contact between Mao and Liu is obvious to all.

Liu Shaoqi

But in 1961, facing the painting given by Liu Yuan at the age of 10, Chairman Mao blurted out "Your name is not good."

Why did he say that?

Chairman's son

As Liu Shaoqi's son, Liu Yuan said, " I have never felt the superiority of being the son of the President of the People's Republic of China, and I am an ordinary person."

Liu Yuan

How ordinary is it?

's answer is that it is no different from the working people.

As the young and old in the family, he should have been pampered with all kinds of love, and he prioritized everything delicious and delicious. However, in the Liu family, seems to be "illegal".

because of his father.

In order to help children develop a simplicity of hard work and simplicity from an early age, Liu Shaoqi implemented the "pick up clothes and wear" at home.

Liu Shaoqi

Liu Yuan's clothes are all from the elder brothers and sisters. If the clothes are torn, they will just hand them over to Wang Guangmei to apply a patch and then continue to wear them on her.

patch and patch is common. Before the age of 14, Liu Yuan had never worn a piece of clothing without patches.

Even when Liu Yuan went to Lushan with his father to meet Chairman Mao at the age of 10, Liu Yuan dressed the same as usual.

In order to discuss the national food issue, several outstanding leaders of our party gathered in Lushan.

is at the age of playfulness. Liu Yuan, who learned that his father was going out, pestered him to go with his father.

Liu Shaoqi brought him by his side, and the father and son quickly reached three agreements.

"Elders should not interrupt, should not go out at will, and listen to their father's words when discussing things."

Liu Yuan obediently did it. When Chairman Mao discussed state affairs with Liu Shaoqi and others, he really stayed aside by himself, not making a fuss.

Chairman Mao

But the ten-year-old child is at the age of being unable to rest, so Liu Yuan thought about finding something to do. How to pass the time without making a sound?

Liu Yuan racked his brains, but after seeing the pen and a piece of white paper on the desktop, he immediately had an idea.

Draw!

After a smooth operation, Liu Yuan became more and more satisfied with the more he looked at it. It happened that Chairman Mao and others had discussed it for the intermission. Looking at Liu Yuan playing alone, Chairman Mao walked over.

Chairman Mao and Liu Shaoqi

He likes children the most. When he was in Zhongnanhai , Chairman Mao often played with Li Min and Li Na. The photo of him on the recliner and listening to Li Na’s story with Li Min and others is the best proof.

Chairman Mao and the children

Therefore, when Chairman Mao naturally likes Liu Yuan.

"Uncle Mao, this portrait is given to you."

Looking at Chairman Mao who was walking towards him, Liu Yuan excitedly wrote the word "Yuanyuan" on the portrait and handed it to Chairman Mao.

Liu Yuan

He stood in front of Chairman Mao like a child waiting for praise, and Chairman Mao also looked at the portrait carefully and said "Awesome" from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Yuan was really happy, but what Chairman Mao said next made him pout.

"The portrait is good, but this signature is not good. not only needs to be round, but also have edges and corners" .

Originally, Liu Yuan could write his own name, but he wanted to "make a mystery", so he signed a transliteration.

But when he heard the Chairman say this, he thought the Chairman had forgotten his name.

Chairman Mao

"Uncle Mao, my name is Liu Yuan, the source of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure"

The "villain" in front of him suddenly became serious, but Chairman Mao immediately laughed happily.

"Xiao Yuanyuan, how could Uncle Mao forget your name? Uncle Mao was teasing you."

After hearing this explanation, Liu Yuan's pouting mouth flattered, but the sentence "You must have edges and corners" was engraved in Liu Yuan's heart. How does

have edges?

0-year-old Liu Yuan doesn’t know much about it, but Liu Shaoqi started to train in this area when he was very young.

Liu Yuan

1 In 958, Liu Yuan, who was only seven years old, entered the school. The school was not very far from home, but because of the rules set by Liu Shaoqi, he still lived in the school like his brothers and sisters to study.

For Liu Yuan, who was young, Sunday has become the day he most hopes for.

And in the Liu family, every Sunday is also very lively.

Although the table is home-cooked, the children are very happy to eat. Because the Liu family has many children, the table is always lively on .

Peng Dehuai and Yang Shangkun Liu Shaoqi's family were having dinner in the West Building Dining Room in Zhongnanhai. Looking at the Liu family's appearance, they often brought their own food to join in the fun, looking at the children with a smile on their faces.

Liu Shaoqi and the children

However, Liu Shaoqi rarely appears on the dining table.

In order to make more time to work, Liu Shaoqi on the dinner table always adds a little bit of the same meal, then he burys his head and leaves after eating.

Liu Shaoqi

Even if the child needs the company of his parents, Liu Shaoqi's point of polishing Liu Yuan's edges is not limited to this place.

The younger brother and the older sister

At the age of nine, you must learn to swim, learn to ride a bicycle at the age of 11, and take care of yourself at the age of 13.

Liu Shaoqi's strict requirements made Liu Yuan more and more independent, and his idea of ​​joining the army became heavier and heavier.

It can be said that Liu Yuan grew up under the conditions of military influence.

lives in Zhongnanhai. Liu Yuan watched the PLA soldiers watch and rehearse again and again. So in July 1964, he entered the guard unit in Zhongnanhai and became a young soldier.

is the time when the entire army is carrying out large-scale training, and hardship is inevitable.

But Liu Yuan did not complain, and he struggled and practiced shooting, but he did not miss everything.

's skin was extremely darkened by the scorching sun, but looking at his originally thin son, straightened his body and his flesh became strong, Liu Shaoqi still said , "This is my good son, this is the soldier of the people."

Liu Shaoqi

Chairman Mao and Liu Shaoqi and others built a new China from the storm. The older generation said "We have finished the battle so that the younger generation can enjoy a happy life."

But no matter what society you live in, the development and peace of the country require a group of people standing guard.

Liu Yuan wanted to be such a person, and he also became such a person as he wished.

949 Yangtze River basin encountered a major flood, causing large groups of refugees and food was destroyed.

To a certain extent, this is a natural disaster, but the country attaches great importance to such dangers and decided to confront with manpower and technology.

"How about building the Three Gorges Dam first?" In 1953, Chairman Mao used this sentence to make the start of the Three Gorges Project, and Liu Yuan also led the armed police hydropower unit to enter the army of the Three Gorges Project in the future.

On October 18, 1996, Li Na came to the Sanxia construction site to visit. Junwei's project surprised her, but before long she could watch it, Li Na called the staff.

Li Na

"I heard that Liu Yuan is also here. Can we arrange for us to see you?"

staff quickly passed the news to Liu Yuan, and early the next morning, Liu Yuan came to the Xiling Yangtze River Bridge , which will be opened to traffic.

When Li Na arrived, Liu Yuan immediately stretched out his hands and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Miss, long time no see, why is it still so beautiful?"

is like the intimacy between a brother and a brother, making Li Na smile and say, "I like Xiao Yuanyuan the most. When I was young, I was sweet-mouthed, but when I grew up, I still praise people." After a greeting, the two began to walk along the dam. The spectacular scenery of made Li Na feel comfortable, and the comfort on Li Na's face was enough to make Liu Yuan proud.

Liu Yuan

Because behind such magnificence, there is his contribution.

"Sister Li Na, after completion, I want to engrave the two poems of Uncle Mao's ' "High Gorges from the flat lake, and it will shock the world' on it to express remembrance and respect."

On September 9, 1976, the great Chairman Mao passed away, and Liu Shaoqi also left the world as early as November 12, 1969.

People often say that the friendship between fathers will dissipate with the departure of the older generation, but this intimate relationship was continued during the interaction between Mao and Liu.

is the reason why both children intend to maintain a relationship, but the biggest contributor among them is the only elder among the two families, Liu Shaoqi's wife - Wang Guangmei .

Wang Guangmei

Home traveling through history

After learning that Chairman Mao passed away, Li Na's physical and mental condition was not very good, and he was admitted to the hospital every few days.

Wang Guangmei immediately bought kitchen supplies to Li Na to deliver. Not only that, she also traveled back and forth to Li Na's house many times to prepare housework for her and have heart-to-heart talks.

Wang Guangmei

Li Na's situation has improved. He is worried that it is not easy for her to take care of the children alone. Wang Guangmei also introduced him to Wang Jingqing, who was once the guard of Liu Shaoqi.

The two got married successfully. Seeing that Li Na had someone to rely on for the rest of her life, Wang Guangmei was happier than anyone else.

Li Na and Wang Jingqing

And at the Liu family, a photo taken by Chairman Mao during a cordial conversation with the children was always hung in the most conspicuous place and never taken down.

The children have their own families and their own jobs, but Wang Guangmei is still worried.

In 2004, she called Liu Yuan to her side.

"Yuanyuan, I want to invite Li Min and Li Na to have a meal at home. Our family hasn't been together for a long time, and I miss them a little."

Wang Guangmei

Wang Guangmei was 83 years old at that time. When she heard my mother's words, Liu Yuan did not dare to delay and personally chose the appropriate venue. Even the choice of the cuisine was carefully considered by everyone's taste.

On the day of the party, Li Min and Li Na’s family arrived early. They consciously sat next to the main table and chatted with each other.

Around seven o'clock, Wang Guangmei was supported and walked in. Li Min and Li Na immediately stood up, holding Wang Guangmei's arm left and right, allowing her to sit in the main seat.

Ge party

Why do Wang Guangmei not say much because of her physical reasons. Most of the time, she listens to the children’s communication.

, and Liu Yuan and others' "performance" are also really hard.

"Mother, I'll tell you that last time we were at the Three Gorges Dam, Dongmei didn't believe me that I had attended Sister Li Min's wedding."

Kong Dongmei

"This is normal, after all, you were much younger than me at that time."

"That's not OK. I even went on stage to perform, but because I was too tall at that time, there was no one from me when I was queuing up to take photos."

When Liu Yuan teased his height, everyone present laughed. The atmosphere at the banquet was always harmonious, and Wang Guangmei was always smiling.

Wang Guangmei, Li Min and Li Na, and if the relationship between the Liu family and the Mao family is traced back, it will be a long time.

Liu Shaoqi's eldest son Liu Yunbin and eldest daughter Liu Aiqin were both classmates of Li Min when she was in the Soviet International Children's Hospital. On October 15, 1949, when Mao Anying and Liu Siqi got married, Liu Shaoqi also attended with Wang Guangmei.

Mao Anying and Liu Siqi

When Li Na got married, Chairman Mao invited someone to watch the movie "Bao Lotus Lantern", and in the viewing seat, Liu Shaoqi's family also sat down early.

If this is the only thing Chairman Mao and Liu Shaoqi have a deep relationship as a revolutionary comrade, but after entering his old age, Wang Guangmei rarely socializes and hardly invites passers-by in the hotel.

However, in order to have a meal with Li Na and Li Min, she specifically asked Liu Yuan to prepare earlier, and even specifically explained that "This is a party between the two families, so there is no need to bother the secretary and others."

Liu Yuan and his two sisters got along well. During the banquet, they also ate and chatted with Wang Xiaozhi very well.

But time failed to freeze the beauty of this moment, and such a gathering became Wang Guangmei's last attendance.

On October 13, 2006, Wang Guangmei, the last elder of the two families, also passed away.

At the funeral, Liu Yuan burst into tears, and Li Na also asked his son to stay and help Liu Yuan handle the funeral related affairs.

Chairman Mao and Liu Shaoqi were like-minded partners on the road to revolution, and the Mao family and the Liu family were also close relatives of the family.

Chairman Mao

Although his parents are no longer there, the family affection between the two families has always continued. As for the little one in 1961, Liu Yuan also spent his life proving that he became a angular person.

Life is like a play, the curtain begins and the curtain falls. I just hope that everyone can fulfill Chairman Mao’s sustenance to Liu Yuan: both the smoothness of dealing with things and the edges of personality, and live an ordinary but extraordinary life.
