Chairman Mao is the founder of New China. There is no need to say too much about his greatness. He spent his whole life exploring the future path of the Chinese nation. He devoted his whole life to China's revolutionary cause.
But behind the great contribution is a huge sacrifice. When Chairman Mao was committed to the struggle in Jinggangshan, his wife Yang Kaihui took care of their children alone. In 1930, Yang Kaihui was arrested. She would rather die than issue a statement to break away from Chairman Mao. In the same year, Yang Kaihui was killed and Chairman Mao was in great pain.
During the revolutionary struggle, Chairman Mao’s children could only be raised by local farmers and endured the pain of being separated from their flesh and blood. Especially later on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Mao Anying’s sacrifice was a huge blow and became the pain of Chairman Mao’s life.
But in his later years, Chairman Mao was always unwilling to see his second son Mao Anqing. This was not because Chairman Mao was cold-blooded, but to protect him.
The tortuous childhood experience
Chairman Mao had ten children in his life. The eldest son is Mao Anying, whom we are all familiar with, and the second son is Mao Anying. They were both born to Yang Kaihui. During those difficult years, they experienced many hardships.
Mao Anying was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1923. He was one year younger than his brother Mao Anying. Like his brother, he was loved by his father and had high hopes from Chairman Mao. During those difficult years, their lives were very difficult. It could even be said that they grew up eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes.
Mao Anying has followed her brother Mao Anying as a role model since she was a child. Chairman Mao was working for the revolutionary cause in Guangdong. Yang Kaihui and the two brothers Mao Anying and Mao Anying lived in Hunan. Their life was very difficult. They had no cotton-padded clothes in winter, not even enough food, and they were always worried about the murderous hands of warlords.
After Yang Kaihui was killed and killed, the two brothers almost wandered here. Later, Mao Anqing and his brother Mao Anying went to the Soviet Union to study together. The two brothers had a good relationship. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Anqing worked as a Russian translator in the Marxist-Leninist Works Compilation Room of the Central Propaganda Department, and later mostly participated in clerical work.
In 1950, the news of Mao Anying's sacrifice on the Korean battlefield spread back to China. This was the pain of Chairman Mao's life. Mao Anqing, who had worshiped his brother since childhood and followed his brother as an example, was also deeply affected. Mao Anqing became seriously ill because of this.
With the help of Chairman Mao, Mao Anqing married Shao Hua, a female major general in the People's Liberation Army. Their son Mao Xinyu was also born in 1970. He is Chairman Mao's only grandson.
In his later years, Chairman Mao experienced so many reunions, separations, and separations. Finally, all the hardships came to an end. It was time for his children to celebrate and have grandchildren. However, at this time, Chairman Mao refused to meet Mao Anqing many times. Even when Chairman Mao was dying, Mao Anqing did not have time to see his father for the last time..
Happiness that comes after hardships
When Mao Anying and Mao Anying were children, Chairman Mao was rarely at home because of his revolutionary cause, and he had no time to be close to his two children. After Yang Kaihui's death, the two brothers wandered and wandered around. Mao Anying was brutally attacked when he was a child, leaving the root of his disease.
The revolution he witnessed finally ignited hope. The organization found the two brothers. The father and son still had no time to communicate with each other, so the two brothers were sent to study in the Soviet Union.
Even if we are extremely reluctant to leave, under that historical background, this is the best arrangement. In Chairman Mao's letter home to the two brothers, we can feel the heavy love and endless longing of a father.
Chairman Mao has always felt guilty about these two brothers. After the war was over and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to compensate for the two children, Chairman Mao once brought the two children to him and stayed with him day and night to make up for his past regrets.
Chairman Mao was also very proud of Mao Anqing's Russian translation. Not only was he good at translation, he was also good at some art-related activities. He often played chess with Chairman Mao and sang " Internationale " for Chairman Mao. This was a rare happy time for the father and son who had gone through ups and downs.
But such a stable and happy life did not last long. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, and Mao Anying's sacrifice was a huge blow to Chairman Mao. Family affection became more precious in his heart, and he felt even more sorry for the root causes left by Mao Anying's brutal childhood. When he saw Mao Anying, he would think of his eldest son Mao Anying.
had no choice but to choose
In his later years, Chairman Mao's health deteriorated and his condition became more and more serious. The government had to find someone to help deal with it. At the same time, considering the political situation at the time, he was also worried that Mao Anqing's situation would be affected after he left. He also hoped that Mao Anqing would stay away from politics in exchange for a lifetime of stability.
Chairman Mao expressed to his son many times that he hoped that he would not follow his own path. Chairman Mao continued to reduce the number of meetings with his son. Even when he was seriously ill, Mao Anqing wanted to meet Chairman Mao many times, but was rejected by Chairman Mao. He did not resent his father for this, but fully understood his father's painstaking efforts.
September 9, 1976, was a sad day for all people. Chairman Mao passed away on this day. Mao Anqing did not have time to see his father for the last time before Chairman Mao passed away.
But Mao Anqing followed his father's teachings, engaged in a job he liked, lived a low-key life, and made outstanding contributions in the fields of literature and translation. He edited the commemorative anthology " We Love Shaoshan's Red Cuckoo", edited the large-scale documentary literature series "China Has a Mao Zedong", and participated in and planned the filming of historical film and television works such as "Yang Kaihui".
He stayed away from politics, but he has always been concerned about the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, which was also his father's wish. He has always supported the construction of border areas, and he and his wife, son and other family members have visited old revolutionary areas for research many times.
Even if he did not guard his father at the last moment, Mao Anqing remembered his father's teachings and lived up to his father's instructions. I believe that Chairman Mao's spirit in heaven will be proud of his son.
Summary:
On March 23, 2007, Mao Anqing died in Beijing due to illness at the age of 84.
Although Mao Anqing had been away from his father for a long time since he was a child, and later he was forced to meet his father due to circumstances, he always understood Chairman Mao's thoughts and understood Chairman Mao's behavior even more. His father's love is like a mountain, and he can feel his father's deep love.
Mao Anqing also applied his father's teachings to the education of his children and grandchildren, taking his sons and grandchildren to walk the Long March again, experiencing the hardships of the revolutionary ancestors, and making contributions to the motherland in other aspects.
