The love story between Chairman Mao’s eldest son Mao Anying and Liu Siqi was widely praised by the world, But in fact, before Liu Siqi, Mao Anying had a girlfriend, and it was introduced to him by Jiang Qing. Mao Anying likes this girlfriend very much, and he also took the initiative to take her to see his father and wanted to marry her.
However, surprisingly, Chairman Mao, who has always respected his children's personal feelings, has opposed . So what's going on? Why did Chairman Mao disagree with Jiang Qing’s girlfriend introduced to Mao Anying? What is the deep meaning behind this?
Mao Anying was sent to the "Labor University" by his father
1936, the Shanghai underground party organization finally found Mao Anying and Mao Anying who had been wandering for a long time, and sent it to the Soviet Union for study with the help of Zhang Xueliang . At this time, Chairman Mao had led the Red Army soldiers to northern Shaanxi and established a base centered on Yan'an. Chairman Mao, who lives in Yan'an, is always concerned about the growth of his sons who are far away in the Soviet Union.
In 1938, someone brought back photos of the two brothers Mao Anying from the Soviet Union. When Chairman Mao saw his growing sons, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Not long after, when he learned that someone was going to the Soviet Union, he quickly wrote a letter to take it with him. The letter was full of father's concern for his sons:
Dear An Ying Anqing, Dad often misses you. Knowing that your situation is still good and his studies have made progress, Dad is very happy. Now I write this letter to you, and I hope you can write to me if you have the opportunity, and I hope you can write to me. I wish you good health and happiness. After
, Chairman Mao asked someone to buy books several times to send them to the two brothers of Mao Anying from the Soviet Union. Once, he selected 21 kinds of 60 books and sent them to the Soviet Union, including philosophy, economics, history, martial arts novels, etc. Mao Anying and Mao Anying will share with other children if they receive the book sent by their father.
In the spring of 1946, Mao Anying returned to Yan'an from the Soviet Union and returned to his father who had been thinking about day and night. Chairman Mao looked at his son who was taller than him with a loving look. When he found out that his son had a cold, he quickly took out his sweater and put it on for Mao Anying.
The father and son who have not seen each other for more than a decade sat together and talked intimately. Chairman Mao first asked Mao Anying in detail about his studies in the Soviet Union, and then said, "How did you live in the Soviet Union? Can you still adapt?" Mao Anying confided in all kinds of experiences during the 19 years of separation and his longing for his father. Chairman Mao felt very uncomfortable when he heard the difficulties his son encountered.
Chairman Mao said: "You grew up in the Soviet Union and lived in a foreign school. You don't know much about domestic life and lack experience in life in Yan'an. You should make up for this lesson." Chairman Mao paused and continued:
"Learn the theory well, and learn knowledge more easily. You only know that the content in foreign books is not enough, and you also need to learn Chinese knowledge. You should go to Agricultural University . Labor University to study again, go to the countryside to find a farmer to be a master, where you can learn knowledge that foreign countries cannot learn..."
Mao Anying knew what his father meant, and he said readily: "Okay, I also want to study and study in the countryside to see the lives of the people. "
Not long after, Chairman Mao brought Mao Anying to Wu Youliang, a labor model in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and then said, "This is the president of the 'Labor University'. You used to eat bread and milk, and you will eat Chinese millet here!"
Chairman Mao said to Wu Youliang again: "I'll send you a student to you. He has lived in a foreign university, but has never lived in a Chinese university. I ask you to take him to the 'Labor University'." Wu Youliang hurriedly said, "I am a farmer, and I don't know what a university is!"
Chairman Mao smiled and said, "You teach him to grow crops and make grain, this is what the university teaches." Wu Youliang felt relieved when he heard this, and he said, "I am good at all, so don't worry!" ”
Before leaving, Chairman Mao said to Mao Anying, "You have to eat, live and work with fellow villagers here, from the land clearance to the harvest, and then come back. When you graduate from the "Labor University", I will send you to " Yan'an University " to study. How about it? "Mao Anying nodded and said, "Okay, I listen to my father. "
In this way, Mao Anying changed out of his suit and leather shoes, put on the patched clothes and shoes his father gave him, and carried the tools on his back to Nanniwan to attend the "Labor University". During Mao Anying's school period, Chairman Mao also visited Nanniwan. When he saw his son's hands were still white and tender, he said, "It's not okay, I can't graduate yet. "
Chairman Mao saw that Wu Youliang's hands were filled with calluses and blood blisters, so he pointed at him and said to Mao Anying, "He is your teacher, you must learn from him well. "Mao Anying looked at the calluses on his master's hand, then saw that he had nothing on his hand, and he immediately lowered his head in shame.
From then on, Mao Anying kept in mind his father's earnest warnings and consciously strengthened his exercise. He got up early and worked with other farmers in the middle of the year. It is worth mentioning that every time he came back from the mountain, he would bring back a bundle of firewood to his family for the lie army.
In the second half of 1946, due to Hu Zongnan's attack on Yan'an, the situation became more and more serious. In addition, Mao Anying had basically finished his studies and returned to Yan'an. When Chairman Mao saw his son's calloused hands, he said happily: "The white fat man turned into a black fat man! Your academic performance is very good! Very good, keep working hard in the future. "
After graduating from the "Labor University", Mao Anying was assigned to work in the Central Propaganda Department. In November 1946, he followed the Propaganda Department to retreat from Yan'an to the vicinity of Wayaobao , and then wrote a letter to report his father to his father.
In March 1947, Mao Anying returned to Yan'an with the agency. In April, Mao Anying Ying crossed the eastward Yellow River to participate in land reform. Two months later, Mao Anying wrote to his father again, reporting his thoughts in the letter.
Chairman Mao took his time to reply to his son:
No matter what a person learns or does, as long as he has enthusiasm and confidence to persevere, he should not have the individualistic vanity that is inconsistent with the interests of the people, he will always make progress...
Mao Anying regards the words instructing him in his father's letter as his motto, and neatly copies them in his notebook, taking them out from time to time to warn himself.
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi confirm their relationship
Seeing Mao Anying grow up, Chairman Mao, as a father, is also very concerned about his son's marriage.
In May 1948, the situation of the War of Liberation gradually began to occur. As it gradually improved, Chairman Mao moved to northern Shaanxi and went to Xibaipo . Not long after, Mao Anying also returned from Shandong and went to the rural areas near Xibaipo for land reform. At that time, Liu Siqi was seeing a doctor in Pingshan Hospital. When she learned that Chairman Mao was also in Xibaipo, she hurried to visit her.
That afternoon, Chairman Mao was chatting with Mao Anying in the yard. Liu Siqi walked over gently and shouted, "Dad. "Chairman Mao was also very happy to see his goddaughter whom he had not seen for two years. He said, "Siqi, when did you come back?" They have all grown up so big. "Chairman Mao turned his head and said to Mao Anying, "An Ying, do you still remember Siqi? "
Mao Anying had noticed Liu Siqi a long time ago. Looking at Siqi in front of him, he felt a different feeling in his heart. Liu Siqi also saw Mao Anying. Before Mao Anying could speak, she shouted, "Brother Anying, you are here too..."
Mao Anying walked to Liu Siqi's side and said with a smile: "Siqi, you have grown so tall and become beautiful. When you were in Yan'an before, you were so tall, but you didn't expect that the old hen is now croaking! "Liu Siqi smiled and said, "Okay, you actually compare me to a stupid duck..."
Chairman Mao was extremely happy to see the two young people meeting, sweet in their mouths and joy in their hearts, and hurriedly hid in the study to make room for the young people.
Mao Anying asked her, "How is it now? Are you okay?" Liu Siqi smiled and said,
"It's pretty good. I went to school at the Northern University of Changzhi, Shanxi. Now it's summer vacation. I happened to be feeling uncomfortable some time ago, so I came here to see a doctor. Unexpectedly, I took a new medicine once, and all of them were cured. I came here to see my father, and secondly, I came to see Uncle Shaoqi and Aunt Wang's. Two children. I didn’t expect to meet you. It’s so happy..."
Mao Anying hurriedly said, “This is is fate and meet …”
The time for dinner was up, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi continued to chat at the dinner table. After dinner, Mao Anying began to explain Marxist theory to Liu Siqi again. The two chatted until after 11 o'clock in the evening, and at the end they were still a little unsatisfied.
Not long after, Liu Siqi was assigned to a nearby rural area to carry out land reform with Mao Anying, and Zhou Enlai's adopted daughter Sun Weishi was also on the way together. At that time, Liu Siqi was still a reserve soldier. She wore a Su-style female military uniform every day, which made her look particularly energetic.
During the land reform period, Mao Anying would look for Liu Siqi every morning, and then the two went to the countryside together and came back together at night. Many nights, Liu Siqi followed Mao Anying quietly, listening to him telling the wandering life he lived in Shanghai; the beautiful scenery he encountered in the Soviet Union...
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi were in contact more and more, and their relationship became better and better. Not long after, their unusual relationship was discovered by Deng Yingchao. Deng Yingchao told her husband Zhou Enlai. After careful observation, Zhou Enlai confirmed that it was true, so he asked Deng Yingchao and Kang Keqing to find Chairman Mao to confirm the relationship.
Chairman Mao had always liked Liu Siqi very much. When he learned that his son and Liu Siqi had a different relationship, he was very happy, but he still wanted to ask for the opinions of Liu Siqi's mother Zhang Wenqiu. After learning that Zhang Wenqiu also agreed, Liu Siqi and Mao Anying’s romantic relationship was officially confirmed.
Mao Anying used his trick and "forced" Chairman Mao to submit
Although Chairman Mao promised Mao Anying and Liu Siqi to fall in love, he emphasized: "Time is the touchstone for testing love. It is okay to fall in love, but if you get married, you have to wait a little longer. Stay together for a while and learn more about each other."
Mao Anying knows his father's temper very well. He couldn't help but say, "Dad, we are going to get married soon." Chairman Mao frowned and said, "The situation on the front line is very tight now. The situation on the front line is very tight now. I'm anxious, there's still a lot of work to be busy, how can I feel like this? It's not too late to get married after the war."
Mao Anying was very persistent. He said, "Dad, when will the war be over? I'm not young now, how old will I be if I delay any delay?" Chairman Mao got angry when he heard this: "No matter how important a personal marriage is, it's a trivial matter in the face of war! I, the chairman, must not be unruly to his son!"
Mao Anying could not convince his father, but he refused to give up. After a few days, he went to entangle Chairman Mao again. Chairman Mao's attitude has not changed. He said: "How long have you been back in China? You should focus on your energy now. What's more, we have rigid regulations. Cadres above the army company are not allowed to get married if they are under 30 years old. You are only 26 years old this year, and you will have 4 years to get married!"
Mao Anying retorted: "I work in the of the Central Propaganda Department of , and I am not a soldier. You can't use this system to restrain me!" Chairman Mao continued: "That Let me tell you again that the marriage law in the liberated area stipulates that the man is 20 years old and the woman is 18 years old before getting married. Siqi is only 17 years old now, and she cannot get married even if she is under the age of age! "
Liu Siqi, who was next to him, pulled Mao Anying's sleeve and said, "Okay, don't let your father make things difficult for you, he can't take the lead in violating it, right? If you really love me, it's OK to let me wait for 10 years to get married."
After hearing Liu Siqi's words, Chairman Mao's attitude eased. He said, "Siqi is right. When I got married to you, Kaihui's mother, wasn't it almost 30 years old? "
Faced with his father's stubbornness, Mao Anying still did not give up. This time he actually thought of his father's way of dealing with his grandfather when he was a child: "Taking the way of others, he will also treat the person. "
On the Dragon Boat Festival, Mao Anying sent Chairman Mao a guarantee letter under the name of sending rice dumplings:
" Please approve Siqi and I to marry on the grounds that the man is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is old and the woman is married. After marriage, I guarantee to work and study with peace of mind and avoid both sides of the concern. "
After receiving this "guarantee letter" from Mao Anying, Chairman Mao was so angry that he tore it to pieces, and then scolded: "Go away quickly, I don't have time to talk to you! " Mao Anying had to use his trick. He suddenly turned pale and fell to the side.
This scared Chairman Mao and quickly invited the Soviet doctor Dr. Mi. After the examination, Dr. Mi muttered to Mao Anying for a while in Russian, and then deliberately said: "Chairman, he was stimulated and fainted after being excited. I think if it is not a very principled thing, I'd better agree to him to avoid getting worse and worse..."
After Mao Anying went back to rest, Deng Yingchao and Kang Keqing came to Chairman Mao's residence and pleaded for Mao Anying: "If Anying also had some disease, it would be troublesome. "Chairman Mao washed several cigarettes in a row, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, okay, for the sake of the two martyrs, Liu Qianchu, , and Kaihui, I had to give this green light. "
Although Chairman Mao approved Mao Anying to get married, he also had a tough condition, that is, to wait until the fall of 1949, that is, to wait until Liu Siqi reaches the legal age for marriage.
On October 15, 1949, the wedding of Mao Anying and Liu Siqi was officially held. Chairman Mao's face was full of smiles, unable to hide the joy in his heart. He picked up a glass of red wine, walked to the full house of Zhang Wenqiu, and said, "I am so grateful to you for educating Siqi such a good child. Cheers to your health and longevity for the happy days in the future! ”
After drinking this glass of wine, Chairman Mao raised his voice and said, “There is nothing I have to worry about in the children’s marriage, and I have not bought anything. After dinner, I also invited everyone to the new house to enjoy the joy! "Although the banquet was a bit simple, it was better because the food was in line with the tastes of the groom and the bride. When the individual guest was in the
, Chairman Mao took out a blue navy tweed coat and said, "I don't have any precious gifts to give to you. There is only one coat worn during the Chongqing negotiations. During the day, Anying can wear it to keep the cold and cover it on the quilt to keep warm at night. You both have a share! "The guests present couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Chairman Mao said seriously: "The bride is not there, she is my goddaughter! "
That's it, Mao Anying had a wife, and Chairman Mao had a daughter.
Jiang Qing introduced Mao Anying to Mao Anying. Why did Chairman Mao object?
I believe many friends know the love story between Mao Anying and Liu Siqi, but in fact, before Liu Siqi, Mao Anying also had a girlfriend, and the other party was introduced by Jiang Qing.
That happened in 1946, when Mao Anying had just returned to Yan'an from the Soviet Union. During his work in Yan'an, he had a good impression of a girl named Fu who studied in Anti-Grand . However, since Mao Anying had just returned to China, his career had not yet started , so he took this matter to heart.
But I don’t know what happened. Jiang Qing knew that Mao Anying likes Miss Fu. Jiang Qing saw that Miss Fu is not only beautiful but also good at studying, but the most important thing is to come from Peking , so he hurriedly matched them up and told Chairman Mao about this matter.
Chairman Mao has never interfered in the emotional issues of children. He believes that feelings are the affairs of two people and should find a like-minded life partner, so Chairman Mao did not express his opinion after knowing it. With Jiang Qing’s introduction, Mao Anying and Miss Fu developed rapidly. First he determined the relationship and then had plans to get married.
Soon after, Mao Anying took Miss Fu back to Chairman Mao to show him, preparing to discuss the marriage. However, surprisingly, when Miss Fu left, Chairman Mao, who had never interfered in the emotional issues of his children, raised objections.
Mao Anying said to Chairman Mao: "Dad, I think she is very good. I want to marry her. I don't know what you think?" Chairman Mao did not answer immediately, but took a puff of cigarette and said meaningfully: "I believe you won't be moved either if she is not smart or beautiful. I understand this very much. But as long as you see the beautiful one, I can't understand this."
Mao Anying lowered his head in shame and did not speak. Chairman Mao continued to say: "Besides being beautiful and smart, what else do you know about her? Do you know what her ideal is? Do you know her character? How long has she been from Peking to Yan'an? We don't know her. You only see her beautiful and like her, so you have to marry her. Do you think this is OK?"
Mao Anying nodded and said, "Father, I understand everything you said, I know how to do it." Later, Mao Anying nodded and nodded to Miss Fu again. Instead, he got along slowly, and gave both parties a time to understand each other during the process of getting along.
Not long after, Miss Fu returned to Peiping because she could not adapt to the poor life in Yan'an. Surprisingly, after returning to Peking, Miss Fu actually wrote an insult to Yan'an in the newspaper in order to cut off the ties with Yan'an.
After Chairman Mao learned about this, he smiled and said to Mao Anying: "It seems that beauty is unreliable, it still depends on ideals!"
It was Chairman Mao's correct guidance that Mao Anying promptly terminated an incorrect relationship and laid the foundation for his later marriage with Liu Siqi.
However, less than a year after Mao Anying and Liu Siqi got married, Korean War broke out. Mao Anying put the interests of the country and the people first and demanded to go to North Korea to participate in the war. In late October, Mao Anying followed Peng Dehuai, left his motherland and father, left his newly married wife Liu Siqi, and came to the Korean battlefield.
What no one expected was that Mao Anying died in the Korean battlefield for only one month. When Peng Dehuai came to the scene of Mao Anying's accident, he felt particularly heavy when he looked at the burned corpse. Peng Dehuai frowned: "How could it be him? Why is it him?"
Afterwards, Peng Dehuai drafted a telegram to the Central Military Commission in the name of the Volunteer Army Command. He wrote for more than an hour in just a few lines of words. Zhou Enlai was also very shocked after receiving the telegram from Peng Dehuai. He knew how much this incident had hit Chairman Mao, so after discussing with Liu Shaoqi and others, he decided not to tell the Chairman about this matter.
It was not until January 1951, after the second battle of Volunteer Army won, that Zhou Enlai handed the telegram to Ye Zilong and asked him to show it to Chairman Mao. According to Ye Zilong's recollection:
"Chairman Mao put down the newspaper and took the telegram as usual and started reading it, but the telegram was read for three or four minutes, which was much longer than the previous telegram..."
Chairman Mao slowly moved his eyes to the cigarette box on the coffee table. He trembled his hands and wanted to draw the cigarette from the cigarette box, but he tried it several times but failed. Ye Zilong found that Chairman Mao's eyes were a little red, but he still didn't cry in the end. He sighed with great sorrow and said: "Oh, who made him the son of Mao Zedong..."
It was very painful to lose a son in the old age, but what was even more painful was that he had to hide it from his daughter-in-law. After all, Liu Siqi was still in school at that time. Whenever Liu Siqi comes to Zhongnanhai to visit Chairman Mao, he will ask him if he has received any letter from An Ying. Chairman Mao seemed to be nothing on the surface, but in fact he felt particularly painful inside. It was not until 1953 that Chairman Mao decided to explain this to Liu Siqi.
On this day, Chairman Mao specially invited Zhou Enlai and the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk with Liu Siqi together. When Liu Siqi learned that her husband had passed away, she was in pain and collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly. Chairman Mao felt uncomfortable when he saw this, his face was pale and his hands were cold.
Zhou Enlai quickly said to Liu Siqi: "Siqi, you should be sad, you should be sad, don't cry anymore, your father's hands are cold..." Liu Siqi quickly stood up from the ground and walked to Chairman Mao to hold his hand...
In order not to worry Chairman Mao, Liu Siqi secretly hid in the quilt and cried. Despite this, her haggard face still made the Chairman very worried. Chairman Mao said to Liu Siqi more than once: "From now on, you will be my eldest daughter."
1962, with the consent of Chairman Mao, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi got married. After marriage, they had two sons and two daughters, the eldest son was named Yang Xiaoying, who was to miss Mao Anying...
