In March 1982, in Bancang, Changsha, Hunan, a staff member accidentally found an oil-paper bag in a crack in the wall while repairing a former residence. Slowly opening it, people found that it was a pile of yellowed manuscripts tightly wrapped.
What do these manuscripts describe? Whose hand is it from? Why did its owner hide them in the cracks in the wall?
Expert appraisal confirmed that these manuscripts are diaries and letters left by revolutionary martyr Yang Kaihui more than 50 years ago. Regrettably, her lover Mao Zedong, whom she deeply cared about, never saw these words filled with long thoughts and boundless expectations for the success of the revolution.
In 1901, Yang Kaihui was born in Bancang, Changsha, Hunan. The father who has the ambition to save the country and the people Yang Changji crossed the ocean when she was less than three years old. Living abroad, he was worried about his daughter's school age, so he wrote to his wife to ask his wife to send her to school. At that time, there was no precedent for a girl to go to school in Itakura, and Yang Kaihui became the first female student in a local school.
In 1913, Yang Changji returned from studying abroad and taught at Hunan Provincial First Normal School . In 1914, the Hunan Provincial Fourth Normal School was merged into the First Division, Mao Zedong was put into the eighth class, and Yang Changji became his teacher.
In June 1918, Yang Changji was invited by Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University to teach at Peking University. Mao Zedong, who had graduated from Hunan First Division , also came to Beijing.
In October, introduced by Yang Changji, Mao Zedong got to know Li Dazhao, the director of Peking University Library , and was assigned to work as an assistant in the library while attending the Peking University course. During this period, Mao Zedong often traveled to and from the home of his teacher Yang Changji. This year, when Yang Kaihui was 17 years old, ripples of love had quietly appeared in the heart of a girl who was ignorant.
Yang Kaihui once wrote in the manuscript of "Six-year-old to 28-year-old Reading": Since I heard many things about him and saw many of his articles and diaries, I loved him. Although I love him, I never mean that I believe that the authority of love is in the hands of nature, and I will never wish for it. Until he had many letters to me expressing his love, I still couldn't believe that I was so lucky.
After returning to Changsha, Hunan, the Hunan Socialist Youth League with Mao Zedong as the secretary was formally established. Yang Kaihui, who has passed the test of revolutionary struggle, became one of the earliest female youth league members in the league organization.
In the winter of 1920, Yang Kaihui and Mao Zedong married in Changsha.
In "Six to 28 Years Old", Yang Kaihui expressed his views on marriage ceremonies: "I am opposed to all marriages that use rituals, and I believe that it is easy and inevitably to lose the sincerity and sacredness of courtship with the heart. The unbelievable superlative and most beautiful and supreme love!"
In early 1927, in order to prepare for the Wuchang Peasant Movement Workshop, Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui and his family came to Wuhan and lived in Wuchang Dufudi No. 41. With the assistance of Yang Kaihui, Mao Zedong wrote the famous "Investigation Report on the Hunan Peasant Movement." In Wuhan, they welcomed their third child, Mao Anlong.
After the August 7th meeting , Mao Zedong took on a brand new burden and led the autumn harvest uprising on the border between Hunan and Jiangxi . Mao Zedong decided to send Yang Kaihui and three children back to Changsha Bancang. They did not expect that this parting was actually a farewell, and there was no time to wait for a reunion.
On October 24, 1930, the Kuomintang reactionaries kicked open the door of Yang Kaihui's house. Subsequently, the news of Yang Kaihui's arrest was published in " Ta Kung Pao ".
The enemy asked Yang Kaihui to write a statement of separation from Mao Zedong, so as to save her life. Faced with the reactionary’s persuasion, Yang Kaihui resolutely refused, and replied: "Death is not a pity, I hope Runzhi's revolution will succeed soon."
In Yang Kaihui's manuscript,There is a letter written to my cousin Yang Kaiming in 1929: "When it comes to death, I was not afraid of it at first, and it can be said to be my joy. Only my mother and my children, I feel a little sorry for them! If you really lose a mother, or even a father, it’s not the love of an uncle, it can be withstood, you have to take care of all aspects of it, in order to grow naturally in the warm spring, without being subjected to the strong wind Rain's invasion!"
Unlike other manuscripts with neat and beautiful fonts, this credit pen is sharp and bold, and the words are like weeping blood.
On November 14, 1930, the weather in Changsha was extremely cold. Yang Kaihui was killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries in the Lizi Ridge outside Liuyang Gate of Changsha City. Her life will always be fixed at the age of 29 and she fell on the land of her beloved hometown.
More than a month later, Mao Zedong learned the sad news about Yang Kaihui's sacrifice from the newspaper, and immediately wrote to his relatives: "Kaihui's death, a hundred lives cannot be redeemed." He wrote for Yang Kaihui in the name of his three sons. The next inscription: "Mao Mother Yang Kaihui’s Tomb. Male Anying, Anqing, Anlong Carving."
In the 19th year after Yang Kaihui’s sacrifice, Mao Zedong led the Chinese people through a long-term revolutionary struggle and finally won national independence and The people were liberated and a new China was created. On October 1, 1949, Yang Kaihui's expectation of "Wish Runzhi's revolution will succeed at an early date" finally came true.
