After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, in order to maintain the security of China's northeastern border and for the peace and happiness of people all over the world, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman Mao made the great decision of " resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea and protecting the homeland and the country."
Before entering the Korean War, Chairman Mao's eldest son, 28-year-old Mao Anying, without hesitation asked to go to North Korea to fight and became the first Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldier.
In fact, Peng Dehuai, then the commander and political commissar of the Volunteer Army , disagreed with Mao Anying's entry into North Korea to participate in the war.
Because over the years, Anying has suffered a lot, and has been separated from his father more often. Not to mention that he had just married Liu Siqi at that time. How could he bear to take him to the dangerous Korean battlefield?
Mao Anying is indeed a miserable child.
When he was 8 years old, because his mother Yang Kaihui was arrested and imprisoned, Mao Anying was also imprisoned in a cell by the enemy.
After Yang Kaihui's death, Mao Anying and his two younger brothers were sent to Shanghai by the underground party organization. But soon after, the underground party organization was destroyed, and the Mao Anying brothers had no choice but to live on the streets.
During this period, Mao Anying worked as an apprentice, picked up rags, sold newspapers, and even pushed a rickshaw .
It was not until 1936 that Mao Anying and her younger brother Mao Anying were arranged to study in the Soviet Union. Mao Anying also participated in the Soviet Union's Patriotic War.
You must know that in the huge "meat grinder" of the Soviet-German War , the lives of middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers are the most fragile. Mao Anying is definitely lucky to survive in such a war environment.
In January 1946, Mao Anying flew back to China with the doctors sent by the Soviet Communist Party to Yan'an.
Before leaving, Stalin also met with him specially and presented him with a pistol. This pistol remained with him until he died.
Chairman Mao was very excited when he learned that his son had returned from the Soviet Union. Regardless of his illness, he insisted on going to the airport to greet him.
When father and son reunited after a long absence, there should be endless words and endless love. However, father and son only ate together for two days. Mao Anying was called by his father to eat in the government canteen and asked him to learn farming from the famous labor model Wu Manyou.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Mao Anying, who was newly married, actively requested to join the war in North Korea and served as a Russian translator and secretary for the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Headquarters.
On the morning of November 25, 1950, the US Air Force bomber suddenly flew over the Volunteer Army Headquarters and dropped dozens of napalm . Mao Anying, who was working nervously in the war room at the time, died heroically because he did not evacuate in time.
At this time, only one month and three days had passed since Mao Anying came to North Korea.
When the bad news came, Chairman Mao suppressed his grief and said slowly:
"People always die in wars... Anying is an ordinary soldier. Don't treat it as a big deal just because he is my son."
Anying is the sixth relative of Chairman Mao's family who dedicated his life to the revolutionary cause of the Chinese people.
So, who caused Mao Anying's sacrifice, and what was their final outcome?
According to investigations, the three pilots who were responsible for the bombing mission at that time were three pilots from the 7th Squadron of the 18th Bomber Force of the "United Nations Army". Their names were: Lipavski, Likert, and Odendaal.
However, these three people are not Americans, but South Africans.
At that time, South Africa was still a British colony, and even Britain participated in the war. As a colony, South Africa naturally also sent troops to the Korean battlefield.
It stands to reason that since they attacked the Volunteer Army Headquarters on the Korean battlefield and successfully killed Chairman Mao's beloved son, they would naturally be commended by their superiors, and they should be promoted to a higher position and become richer and nobler.
But the fact is the opposite. Not only did the three people not receive the reward, the ending was also very miserable.
Among them, Lipavsky is a white man who has always liked racial discrimination and dislikes black people from the bottom of his heart.
After the war, Lipavsky returned to China and became a passenger plane pilot.At work, he took advantage of his skin color and military exploits to slack off at work and insult his colleagues and passengers. Finally, he was sued by a black passenger in court.
At that time, the national independence movement in Africa was in full swing, and Lipavsky's move undoubtedly pushed him to the forefront.
In the end, the airline fired Lipavsky and revoked his pilot license . From then on, he lived in embarrassment, drank all day long, and finally froze to death on the street.
After returning to China, Liketer also became a pilot for an airline.
One day in 1954, when a Boeing passenger plane driven by Likert flew to Italy, due to improper operation, the plane's engine failed. As a result, an air crash occurred, killing all people on board.
As for Odendaal, there was no news after the war, but according to some rumors, his ending was not good.
On the Korean battlefield, the three of them aided the evil deeds of the U.S. imperialists and participated in an unjust war.
But good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It’s not that they won’t be repaid, it’s just that the time has not yet come.
