On September 27, 2020, a Chinese special plane departed from Incheon Airport, South Korea landed at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport. This plane carried the remains of the seventh batch of volunteer soldiers returning to China in .
70 years ago, the heroic Chinese People's Volunteer Army carried the banner of justice against aggression and rushed to a foreign country to fight with the Korean people. After two years and nine months of cruel struggle to sacrifice their lives, the victory of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was finally won by our army.
In this battle, Chairman Mao’s son Mao Anying once asked General Peng to join the army. Although he was reluctant to leave, Chairman Mao still sent his son to the Korean battlefield, but he never waited for his son to come back after he sent him off.
Mao Anying
In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Comrade Mao Anying was hit by enemy artillery fire and sacrificed the heroic War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea with his young body. When this news reached the country, all the leaders of the Party Central Committee were upset. , especially Chairman Mao, looked at the telegram reporting the death of his son for a long time without responding. At that time, the Chiang Kai-shek , which had fought with Chairman Mao for half his life, also received the news in Taiwan.
He looked strange that night when he knew it, and then sent his wife Song Mei-ling and called his son Jiang Ching-kuo to him and said something to him. So, what secret words do he have to tell his son? Is it a comment on Mao Anying's death?
Comrade Mao Anying unfortunately died
As a generation of leaders of the Kuomintang and a prominent figure in the history of the Chinese revolution, Chiang Kai-shek can be regarded as a hero of a generation.
Chiang Kai-shek
During the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he believed that the red thought of the Communist Party would erode their army and hinder his dictatorship, so he brazenly launched a counter-revolutionary coup. Seeing the red warriors dying under the guns and cannons of the Kuomintang reactionaries, he felt very arrogant. He deeply felt that he had mastered the general trend of the world and could turn his hands into clouds and rain.
Later, he placed a house arrest on Li Jishen, squeezed out Deng Yanda, excluded Wang Jingwei, and became the chairman of the group as a small officer. All of these made him proud. But as he loses steadily on the battlefield in China, there are more and more voices of condemning him in China. He still proudly believes that the Communist Army is a bandit, and the regular troops he has are the decisive force to change the world.
Such thoughts ran through his life. Even when he saw Chairman Mao’s outstanding grace at the Chongqing talks, he still wrote in his diary: He (Chairman Mao) still couldn’t escape my cover (the palm of his hand).
During the Chongqing negotiations, Chiang Kai-shek took a photo with Chairman Mao
This is the noble and arrogant Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, even when he retreated to Taiwan, he still dreamed of rebeling from the mainland.
is such a person with high self-esteem. He once said to his son Chiang Ching-kuo: "I only admire one person in my life." many
As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek once worked with Premier Zhou. The two of them were revolutionary comrades in Whampoa Military Academy. At that time, he admired Premier Zhou's knowledge and advanced ideas, and Premier Zhou's personal charm also made Chiang Kai-shek like very much. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek, who has always claimed to be aloof, admitted in front of a rare person: "I I like Enlai very much, but unfortunately he doesn't use it for me."
Zhou Enlai, who served as the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy,
Until later, the two of them completely stood opposite each other, but Premier Zhou still made him admire him from the bottom of his heart. The opponent who had fought with Chiang Kai-shek for half his life - Chairman Mao only made Chiang Kai-shek hate him, but there was one thing that Chiang Kai-shek had to admit that he would never be as good as Chairman Mao's mind, that is, personally sent his son to the battlefield.
In October 1950, the volunteer army drove North Korea with great confidence at the request of the North Korean people. Before this, countries around the world were very concerned about the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
On the surface, this is just an opposition between a nation and two countries, but in fact it is a contest between capitalist countries led by the United States and socialist led by the Soviet Union, which is a contest between two ideologies.
Volunteer troops enter North Korea for combat
With the participation of great powers, the water on the Korean Peninsula was completely muddled. If US imperialism did not burn the war to the side of Yalu River and did not transfer warships to Taiwan Strait , perhaps the Party Central Committee would not issue an order to enter North Korea for combat so quickly. On the eve of the Volunteer Army's dispatch, Mao Anying found General Peng and requested to join the Volunteer Army.
Mr. Peng looked at the young Mao Anying and said: "Your brothers and sisters have never been by your father since childhood. They have never met your father a few times. You finally came to your father, so stay with him." But this young man said: "I am the son of the Chinese people. I am willing to go to the battlefield. I want to be your first soldier."
Before President Peng could answer, Chairman Mao had already stood behind the two of them at some point. He looked at President Peng's muddy eyes seriously and said: "Let him go."
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
With his father's approval, Mao Anying breathed a sigh of relief, so he served as a Russian translator and confidential secretary in the Volunteer Army Command. In the headquarters, Mao Anying did more and less than everyone else, but he enjoyed less than everyone else. What everyone knows about Mao Anying’s true identity is only the three words Secretary Liu .
It is such a pure communist fighter who died on November 25, 1950. At that time, the US military's bomber suddenly bombed the Volunteer Army Command, but "Secretary Liu" and Gao Ruixin failed to run out in time, and they sacrificed their lives for their country.
Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin's bodies have been burned by the fire, and General Peng can only write this sad fact into a telegram in just a few words and send it to China. At that time, no one dared to submit the telegram directly to Chairman Mao. Premier Zhou received it first. He was so sad that he continued to submit it to Chairman Mao.
Mao Anying
After learning about his son's death, Chairman Mao looked at the thin paper in his hand in the chair for a long time and couldn't let go. He sighed softly.
In February 1951, when General Peng returned to China to report his duties, he apologized to Chairman Mao and said: "Chairman, you hand over An Ying to me and let him work on the front line. He is very active in his work, but I couldn't watch this child. An Ying and Gao's staff unfortunately died, so I should take the initiative to take responsibility."
The secret talk between Chiang Kai-shek and his son
After listening to General Peng's self-examination, Chairman Mao lit a cigarette and said: "It is always a death for revolution. An Ying is an ordinary soldier. He sacrificed his young life for this country. This is the responsibility that a Communist Party member should fulfill. Because he is my son, I thought he should not sacrifice for the common cause of the Chinese and Korean people. Besides, which of the ordinary people who sent their children to the battlefield has no son or daughter? Which soldier's flesh and blood body is not born to his parents?"
Chairman Mao
Everything, although that is the case, President Peng still finds it difficult for ordinary people to understand the pain of sending black hair, but Chairman Mao's words still touched him, because Chairman Mao did not regard Mao Anying as the child of a country leader, but regarded him as an ordinary soldier. This is the mind and realm of the Communists.
Communication was not yet developed at that time, and Chairman Mao’s attitude did not quickly learn that Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, did not know what Chairman Mao was thinking. It was not until the news of Mao Anying's death spread across the country that Chiang Kai-shek learned about it. It was midnight when he sent his wife Soong Mei-ling away and called his son Chiang Ching-kuo to come and have a secret conversation.
Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling
In fact, at the beginning of the outbreak of The father and son were paying attention to the situation at all times. If Chiang Kai-shek had not been in contact with the US imperialists, the US Seventh Fleet might not have been able to reach the Taiwan Strait. Therefore, the PLA did not make any effort to liberate Taiwan at that time, because the United States and Chiang Kai-shek interfered.
Although Chiang Kai-shek himself did not want Taiwan to split, it was a fact that he had a mountain, and it was also a fact that it prevented Taiwan from returning to the mainland. Therefore, he paid great attention to the movements of the central government, and Chairman Mao’s own movements were something he had to ask every day.
On October 28, 1950, Chiang Kai-shek spent dinner with his family at the Shilin official residence as usual. After the meal, Chiang Kai-shek said to Soong Mei-ling: "Meiling, go to the study first and find the official approval book I had done a few years ago, and then take it to my room later." After sending Soong Mei-ling away, he called his son Chiang Ching-kuo to his side.
Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Kai-shek
Father and son sat face to face in the house. When Chiang Ching-kuo saw his father's serious look, he felt something big had happened. He asked his father nervously: "What happened to his father? Is there something wrong with the political situation?" son's worries made Chiang Kai-shek very pleased. He replied, he asked his son: "Do you know what happened in North Korea a few days ago?"
Chiang Ching-kuo thought carefully. After a while, he said: "The opposite side is fighting in the North Korean War. Is there any action on the US side? Father, what exactly makes you so worried?" Chiang Kai-shek then sighed and said: "His son, Mao Anying was killed by a US military plane in the North Korean War."
After hearing this, Chiang Ching-kuo was shocked. His first reaction was that this should be fake news, because Mao Anying is the son of Chairman Mao. It is impossible for the child of such a country leader to die on the battlefield in vain like an ordinary soldier. He asked his father in confusion: "Is this news accurate?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at his son's shocked face and nodded seriously: "Do you know Mao Anying? Have you ever met it in the Soviet Union?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.
Jiang Jingguo
Hearing his father's question, Jiang Jingguo thought for a while and replied: "I have never seen him." The reason why Chiang Kai-shek asked this is because Jiang Jingguo and Mao Anying both had experience studying in the Soviet Union . It’s a pity that Chiang Ching-kuo returned to China since 1937, but Mao Anying had only been to the Soviet Union for a year, and the two of them happened to be in a staggered manner, so they had never met before.
After hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly changed his mind and said: "Why do you always study abroad? The history of Chinese culture is so long, isn't it enough?"
Why did Chiang Kai-shek lose to Chairman Mao
Chiang Kai-shek's words were speechless, and Chiang Ching-kuo did not understand it very much. He said: "Why did my father ask this?" Chiang Kai-shek replied to him: "I can't understand his thoughts in this matter, but I admire him." Although his words did not fully explain, Chiang Ching-kuo also generally understood the father's meaning - Perhaps Chiang Kai-shek admired Chairman Mao's choice, and was able to send his son abroad as an ordinary soldier for a long time.
Chiang Kai-shek
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's feelings and comments are not only directed at Mao Anying, but also towards his son Chiang Ching-kuo. As early as when his son was 15 years old, he sent his son to the Soviet Union to learn red ideas. At that time, Chiang Ching-kuo also joined the Communist Youth League, which was one step away from becoming a Communist Party member.
At that special period, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup in the country. After learning about it, Chiang Ching-kuo, who was far away in the Soviet Union, cursed his father's actions. The father and son were incompatible with this matter. Chiang Ching-kuo even publicly stated in the newspaper that he would sever the father-son relationship with Chiang Kai-shek.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was also very angry at that time, after more than ten years of isolation and tempering, he also missed his son Chiang Ching-kuo very much.So after his son returned to China, Chiang Kai-shek personally paved the way for him, planned for him, and completely protected Chiang Ching-kuo so that he could accept his mantle and throne.
Jiang Jingguo
In other words, in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, although he and his son had been separated, he was still willing to give everything for his children. Even if he handed over all the rights he most wanted in his lifetime to his hands, he would not hesitate to hand over all the rights he wanted most in his lifetime to his hands. Therefore, he did not understand what Chairman Mao had done very much.
In his eyes, Chairman Mao sent Mao Anying to study in the Soviet Union for many years was already very cruel. Now, as a father, he sent his son to a battlefield with artillery fire, which is even more incredible.
What Chiang Kai-shek even hardly understood was that as the national leader, Chairman Mao sent the Mao family one by one to the battlefield, and even his own son could not be protected. In Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, such a selfless act was simply a fool. Is it not as close to him and his son Mao Anying as he is to Chiang Ching-kuo? This is something that Chiang Kai-shek couldn't understand, but it was because of this that he failed again and again.
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
Because he has selfish interests in his heart, Chairman Mao is determined to seek happiness for the people without hesitation. Chiang Kai-shek's confusion can be answered in Chairman Mao's answer to Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai. Chairman Mao had long said: "As a Communist Party member, his son should die in the revolutionary process of serving the people ."
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek could not understand these words, because everything he usually did was to safeguard his own interests, to safeguard the interests of his family and his own small circle. He did not understand what it means to serve the people.
Chiang Kai-shek
The first breakdown of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was precisely because Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup privately, which led to the three mountains still bearing the people. The process of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation was slowed down and it was precisely because he secretly interfered in his second cooperation. Even after the War of Resistance Against Japan, he still regarded the Japanese officers who committed crimes in China as guests of honor, and asked them to write down many experiences and experiences about suppressing the Communist Party to help him deal with the Communist Party.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek was always able to unexpectedly choose to deviate from the people in his choice of major events. I am afraid that this is the reason for his failure and the reason why he would lose at Chairman Mao.
During the Chongqing negotiations, Chairman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek raised their glasses
, but Chiang Kai-shek could not recognize these from the bottom of his heart. He always believed that there was a problem within the Kuomintang. It was because of the miscommand of the command tactics of the Kuomintang officials who failed in the three major battles of . If you have the power, you will have many help but lose your power. The people's hearts are always the key to the situation. When the Chinese people are eager for peace, he took the initiative to launch a civil war in , so he will retreat to Taiwan only if he acts against the rules. Until he learned that Mao Anying sacrificed for the people, he did not reflect at all, which was sad and lamentable.
