In 1983, Wang Guangmei, who was 62 years old, came to Chairman Mao’s former residence in Shaoshan, who had been away for more than 20 years. Wang Guangmei carefully felt the fragrance of the grass and trees of Shaoshan’s former residence, and was stunned for a long time, as if sh

In 1983, Wang Guangmei, who was already 62 years old, came to Chairman Mao’s former residence in Shaoshan, who had been away for more than 20 years.

Wang Guangmei carefully felt the fragrance of the grass and trees of Shaoshan’s former residence. She was stunned for a long time, as if she had returned to the wonderful time when the two families were having a happy chat many years ago.

And time seems to have forgotten this long-lost former residence. The furnishings and furniture in the house have not changed at all, and only the wrinkles carved on the faces of old people can prove the passage of time.

Wang Guangmei deeply missed everything about the former residence of Shaoshan. After the soft shouts of others, she came back to her senses and said solemnly: " will always deeply remember Chairman Mao, your student Wang Guangmei ".

So why did Wang Guangmei call Chairman Mao a teacher?

1. The academic master gave up his studies and vowed to participate in the revolution

Wang Guangmei's original family is very prosperous. Her parents are both intellectuals with higher education. Under their education, Wang Guangmei and his brothers and sisters made their debut and made achievements in all fields, verifying the saying " dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes ".

Wang Guangmei's father Wang Zhichang was a member of the Chinese delegation and participated in the Paris Peace Conference held in 1919 and the Washington Nine-National Conference held in 1921.

Second brother Wang GuangqiHis economic advisor to the Kuomintang Vice President Li Zongren , the fourth brother Wang Guangjie is a famous electronics expert, the sixth brother Wang Guangying founded China Everbright (Group) Co., Ltd., and the third brother and four sisters are experts in different directions in the medical field.

was born in such a family with a strong bookish atmosphere. He was influenced by his parents and brothers since childhood. Wang Guangmei has always performed very well in her studies and finally was admitted to Fu Ren University in Peking.

1945, after Wang Guangmei graduated, she obtained a master's degree in physics. Such an academic halo was definitely a dazzling existence in the environment at that time.

But Wang Guangmei was not proud and arrogant, but instead studied harder and worked harder to study knowledge.

1946, the War of Resistance Against Japan that lasted for many years had just ended. The Kuomintang and the United States, with their respective small thoughts, reached a temporary cooperation agreement with the Communist Party, and the three parties jointly established the " Military Mediation and Execution Department ".

Because Wang Guangmei and Cui Yueli are old acquaintances, he admires Wang Guangmei's knowledge very much and often introduces some progressive books to her.

plus Wang Guangmei's brother has begun to work for the Communist Party, Cui Yueli introduced that Wang Guangmei served as the CCP translator in the "Military Mediation and Execution Department".

However, in Chiang Kai-shek and the United States each had their own thoughts, the superficial peace maintained by the three parties of the United States did not last long and broke down.

, and Wang Guangmei's translation work ended. Considering that she was young, had progressive thoughts, had knowledge and expertise, the party organization arranged for her to go from Peking to Yan'an to work, which was also to protect her safety and avoid her being persecuted by the Kuomintang spies.

Just as Wang Guangmei packed up her things and was about to go to Yan'an, her doctoral admission letter was also mailed.

Is it to devote myself to Yan'an to continue to participate in the arduous revolutionary cause? Or go to the United States to study for a doctorate and realize the dream of a scientist? Wang Guangmei was completely embarrassed when facing these two choices.

After some in-depth thinking, Wang Guangmei made a difficult choice to determine the fate of her second half of her life. She chose to go to Yan'an to participate in the revolution.

Because Wang Guangmei is a flesh-and-blood Chinese, she saw China's hope during her translation work in the "Military Mediation and Execution Department".

Choose to go to the United States to realize your personal dream, but choosing to go to Yan'an and follow the Communist Party is for China's future. She hopes to contribute to her country.

In this way, Wang Guangmei went to Yan'an, a revolutionary holy land. When her mentor and classmates knew about her decision, they felt sorry for her, but they still respected her decision. Wang Guangmei herself never regretted this decision.

1946, Wang Guangmei bid farewell to her relatives and boarded the plane to Yan'an with excitement.

I have long heard of Yan'an from my brothers and friends who joined the Communist Party, and Wang Guangmei was full of curiosity about this place.

2. Meet and fall in love with Liu Shaoqi

When I first set foot on the land of Yan'an, Wang Guangmei, a girl who grew up in the city, did not show a arrogant look. Instead, she was polite to others and quickly adapted to life in Yan'an.

Because Wang Guangmei is a rare intellectual who received higher education, the party organization attaches great importance to her and assigned her to the Foreign Affairs Group of the Central Military Commission, which was responsible for Zhu De and others to carry out work.

Once, Wang Guangmei and several colleagues made an appointment to visit Mr. Zhu. Because she was very familiar with Mr. Zhu, she acted very lively. As an elder, Mr. Zhu was so upset by these younger generations that he could not bear it, so she quickly took a large group of people to Liu Shaoqi's residence.

This is the first time Wang Guangmei has seen Liu Shaoqi in person. It is just that because she has been involved in the revolution for a short time and is embarrassed to be too ostentatious, so she hurried at the end and shook hands with Liu Shaoqi and reported her name.

As early in Peking, Wang Guangmei had read a book written by Liu Shaoqi himself called "On the Cultivation of Communist Party Members", and was deeply impressed by his theoretical level.

Wang Guangmei thought that after this meeting, the two would not have any interaction, but she and Liu Shaoqi would become a family later. After

, Kang Keqing often invited Wang Guangmei to attend dances held by the central government, which made her often meet Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and others.

Once, when Wang Guangmei was attending a dance, Chairman Mao specifically asked Wang Guangmei: What did you study at Fu Ren University? Who is the principal of the school?

Wang Guangmei replied: " learns atomic physics , and the principal is Chen Yuan ".

Chairman Mao smiled and said: After the victory of , China will also develop its own atomic bomb .

Just like that, through constant contact, Wang Guangmei and some central leaders gradually became familiar with each other.

Wang Guangmei, who was in her great years at that time, had many knowledges and good aesthetics, had a clean and neat appearance, and was generous in character. Liu Shaoqi had a good impression of her, but Wang Guangmei herself did not notice this.

One day, while Wang Guangmei was having lunch, Liu Shaoqi asked her tentatively if she could join him to join Jinchaji to participate in land reform. Wang Guangmei did not react at the time and politely refused.

Later, with continuous contact in work and life, Wang Guangmei learned more and more about Liu Shaoqi, and her attitude towards him gradually changed.

Just like that, two people who have a good impression of each other, after understanding each other's feelings, formed a revolutionary couple who only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals.

Before Wang Guangmei and Liu Shaoqi got married, although they had talked with Chairman Mao, the two did not have many opportunities to contact each other and were not particularly familiar with each other.

Later, Wang Guangmei and Liu Shaoqi determined their relationship, and coupled with Liu Shaoqi's work transfer, the intersection between Wang Guangmei and Chairman Mao gradually became more and more.

On August 21, 1948, Wang Guangmei and Liu Shaoqi officially got married.

Because the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had moved to Xibaipo at this time, and Liu Shaoqi was an important leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and he was going to get married. This news soon spread throughout the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In such years, the low and clean adobe room, the red "囍" character happily witnessed the newlyweds' wedding.

At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in a critical period before the decisive battle. The atmosphere in the entire Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was very tense. The arrival of the wedding of the couple made people who had been tense for a long time feel a little relaxed.

Wang Guangmei knew that her wedding might be the wrong time, so she decided not to hold it grandly. But when she thought that it was the only wedding in her life, she wanted to discuss with Liu Shaoqi and announce the marriage in the canteen of the government.

Liu Shaoqi understands Wang Guangmei's ideas very well, but he also thinks that there is no need to promote the affairs of these two people everywhere.

However, as a staff member of the Foreign Affairs Group, Wang Guangmei is her "family family". When her colleagues learned about her marriage, they all warmly congratulated her and prepared a cake for her.

After dinner that day, everyone held a dance party to celebrate Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei's marriage. The atmosphere was very lively. Even Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai put down what they were doing and joined the happy dance party.

Zhou Enlai noticed that Wang Guangmei and his two men did not do a big fuss, so at his suggestion, Chairman Mao and him came to the residence of the two newcomers to bless the newcomers. Although a wedding like

is not very grand, it is very memorable. Especially the personal arrival of Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai made Wang Guangmei very happy. There are really few opportunities to get close to the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Afterwards, Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Liu Shaoqi discussed things in the room, while Wang Guangmei and other colleagues happily cut the cake, and gave one to the three people a copy, and Chairman Mao brought one to his daughter Li Na specially.

Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai also visited their wedding room with the two newlyweds and couples.

Looking at everything familiar in the room, Chairman Mao said kindly: After he came to Xibaipo, he came into this room many times. Today is the most meaningful .

3. The elders’ hearts are the ones

After marrying Liu Shaoqi, Wang Guangmei not only took care of Liu Shaoqi in life, but also served as Liu Shaoqi’s political secretary.

As the central leader, Liu Shaoqi needs to personally inquire about many things, which leads to him being too busy to eat and rest, so he suffers from stomach problems.

, and Wang Guangmei quickly changed her role and entered the post-marriage state, taking care of him very well.

In order to allow Liu Shaoqi to have more energy to devote himself to work and reduce the troubles caused by stomach problems, Wang Guangmei personally matched Liu Shaoqi with a nutritious meal.

Just like that, under Wang Guangmei's meticulous care, Liu Shaoqi's stomach problems miraculously improved day by day.

The most beautiful thing is that every time a dance party is held, Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei will perform the opening and ending dance, which is envious of many people.

Later, the leadership body of the CPC Central Committee was adjusted, and Chairman Mao and Liu Shaoqi worked together, and the relationship between the two families became more and more intimate.

It was during this period that, whether it was Liu Shaoqi or Chairman Mao, their behavior and extensive knowledge subtly improved Wang Guangmei's knowledge and character.

This makes Wang Guangmei learn everything about her children and Li Na like a student.

In 1963, when Liu Shaoqi visited Southeast Asian countries, Wang Guangmei also accompanied her because she had a high knowledge, good education, and proficient in English.

At that time, Wang Guangmei, as the wife of an important Chinese leader, represented the image of China. She wore a black cheongsam and an pearl necklace , noble and elegant.

This is a rare opportunity for China to show its image to foreign countries. It has attracted great attention worldwide. The elegance and knowledge shown by Wang Guangmei have given the West a new understanding of the new China.

When visiting Myanmar , Wang Guangmei swam on the beach in Nabri and accidentally dropped the pearl necklace into the sea. The then Prime Minister of Myanmar Wu Naiwen sent people to fish for the scattered pearls, but they did not catch them.

So Wu Naiwen gave Wang Guangmei a gold-inlaid ruby ​​necklace. Although Liu Shaoqi and Wang Guangmei firmly refused, Wu Naiwen insisted on giving this beautiful and kind gift.

After Wang Guangmei returned to China, she handed the string of gold-inlaid ruby ​​necklaces to the public and said: The national gift belongs to the country and should be collected by the museum.

This precious gift not only represents an old past of friendly exchanges between countries, but also records the most simple and unpretentious noble character of an important national leader’s wife.

Cheng Ruisheng, who served as ambassadors of Myanmar and India, also participated in the trip. He highly praised Wang Guangmei, and she fully showed the charm of oriental women to the West.

Wang Guangmei has noble and flawless qualities. She not only performs very well in diplomacy, but also is always kind and selfless in interacting with others.

As the years grow, the environment is turbulent. Although many things have happened, Wang Guangmei has always maintained an optimistic and tolerant character of affairs. She trusts and respects Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi's comrade-in-arms, and is also very concerned about Chairman Mao's descendants.

In 2004, Wang Guangmei, who rarely participated in social engagements and banquets, specifically instructed her son Liu Yuan to invite Li Min and Li Na’s family to have dinner together.

During the meal, the two families who had not seen each other for a long time had a great conversation. They were having fun together and raised their glasses to celebrate Wang Guangmei's birthday together. Wang Guangmei happily looked at these juniors and also specifically asked about Mao Anying's family's recent situation.

Later, Li Min's daughter Kong Dongmei also wrote an article about this party, specifically recording the wonderful times of the descendants of the Mao and Liu families, and sincerely telling the relationship between the Mao and Liu families.

As Chairman Mao’s youngest daughter, Li Na encountered misfortunes in her marriage and life when she grew up, and her life was relatively difficult. In her later years, Wang Guangmei often used her savings to help Li Na

Whether in life or living, she could be said to be meticulous.

Later, after being matched by someone, Li Na and Liu Shaoqi's former guard Wang Jingqing remarried.

When wed, Wang Guangmei also personally selected gifts to send blessings to Li Na.

Wang Guangmei said: She is the only elder in the two families. She hopes that everyone will live well, so she will feel at ease.

is Wang Guangmei's sincere love for the younger generation, which greatly promoted the relationship between the Mao and Liu families.

In addition, there has been a photo of their family and Chairman Mao hanging in Wang Guangmei's home. This is a photo left by Chairman Mao when he visited Liu Shaoqi's family in 1962. From this detail, Wang Guangmei's nostalgia and respect for Chairman Mao can be seen.

In November 1983, Wang Guangmei came to Shaoshan’s former residence again with nostalgia for her old people. Although the old people have passed away, the great spirit left by the old people still lasts forever.

Wang Guangmei looked at everything in this former residence and deeply missed the past.

As for what firm revolutionary friendship did Wang Guangmei missed? Or is it a wonderful time with her husband Liu Shaoqi? No one knows.

However, no matter which memory is, it is very precious to Wang Guangmei and worth remembering for a lifetime.

In 2006, this old man who had just celebrated his 85th birthday and devoted himself to public welfare in his later years, passed away peacefully with the memories of history, and Wang Guangmei's legendary life ended.
