In 1927, the chairman organized the Autumn Harvest Uprising , but unfortunately, the Autumn Harvest Uprising ended in failure due to reasons such as being outnumbered and outnumbered, and the chairman also led the uprising team to Jinggangshan . At that time, there were two "mountain kings" on Jinggang Mountain, namely Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai . Coincidentally, in Wang Zuo's and Yuan Wencai's cottage, another pair of brothers and sisters came to take refuge, evading the pursuit of the Kuomintang. The brothers and sisters are He Minxue and He Zizhen.
At that time, the chairman wanted to include Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai's team, so he took the initiative to express his sincerity to them, and gave Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo some guns. Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai were deeply moved and took the initiative to accept the reorganization of the chairman, and the forces on Jinggang Mountain also became a family. Soon after, He Zizhen was arranged by Yuan Wencai to the chairman's side and began to serve as the chairman's secretary. The two grew in love as they got along. In 1928, 19-year-old He Zizhen married the chairman, and the two were officially married.
After He Zizhen married the chairman, he gave birth to six children for the chairman , but it was a revolutionary era, and soon after the Kuomintang began to launch an "encirclement and suppression" war against the Soviet area , the Red Army experienced a total of five anti-"encirclement and suppression" wars , went through the long march after its fifth anti-encirclement campaign against failed. Because of the difficult situation, He Zizhen's six children also had different endings: only one of the six children grew up healthy, two died prematurely, and three were given to fellow villagers.
Let's first talk about a child who grew up healthy, this child is Li Min. Li Min was born in 1936 in Zhidan County, Shaanxi Province.Not long after she was born, He Zizhen went to to study in the Soviet Union, and Li Min was arranged to enter a nursery in Yan'an. Li Min did not go to the Soviet Union until 1940, and lived with He Zizhen since then, returning to China in 1947. After growing up, Li Min married Kong Linghua. The two were classmates in middle school and knew each other well. The chairman also agreed with their marriage very much.
Secondly, let's talk about He Zizhen's two dead children. In 1930, He Zizhen gave birth to a boy for the chairman. Because of the poor conditions at the time, the boy died not long after he was born, and he didn't even get a name. He Zizhen's second child, Liaowa, was born in October 1938. At that time, He Zizhen had already gone to the Soviet Union to study. Because he was afraid of affecting his study, He Zizhen fostered Liaowa in a nursery school in Moscow. Suffered from pneumonia and died prematurely due to ineffective treatment.
He Zizhen and three children gave to fellow villagers. The first is Yang Yuehua, formerly known as Mao Jinhua, the eldest daughter of He Zizhen, born in 1929. At that time, it was the second time the Red Army attacked Longyan, where He Zizhen gave birth to Yang Yuehua. Soon after, the Kuomintang fought back to Longyan, and the Red Army had to leave Longyan. Before leaving, He Zizhen gave Yang Yuehua to the local villager to raise her. In 1973, Yang Yuehua was confirmed. However, due to various reasons, the mother and daughter were eventually unable to recognize each other.
The second child who was given to fellow villagers was Mao Anhong, born in 1932. In her childhood, Mao Anhong was very cute and lived with her parents all the time. In October 1934, after the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, the Red Army was forced to start the Long March. The Long March must not bring children, so He Zizhen gave Mao Anhong to his uncle Mao Zetan. After Mao Zetan's sacrifice, Mao Anhong's whereabouts are unknown.
The third child who was given to the fellow was a girl, who was born in February 1935, just on the Long March. After the girl was born, He Zizhen didn't even pay attention to her, so he arranged for someone to send her to the local fellow, and Also brought four silver dollars. The child did not leave any token when he was sent, so his whereabouts are unknown after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
