When it comes to the great man, more people think of his outstanding contributions to the Chinese revolution and China's construction, and think of his seriousness and responsibility in his work.
But less attention has been paid to his role in the family and the few intimate interactions he has with his children.
Mao Anying is the eldest son of ***.
His heroic sacrifice in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has been mentioned repeatedly.
** Missing him is also recorded in the history of the party.
Until his later years, he quietly kept some relics of Mao Anying so that he could see things and think about people.
Compared with Mao Anying, his younger brother Mao Anqing is more low-key.
Even when people mention him, all they think of is that he is "the only surviving son".
Even when the news of his death came out in 2007, people were more surprised that they were a little unfamiliar with the son of this great man, "so strange that they didn't know what he looked like" and "didn't know what he was doing before his death".
The timing of Mao Anqing's birth was not very good.
He was born on November 13, 1923, in Bancang, Dongxiang, Changsha.
At that time, ** only came to Changsha to carry out activities in accordance with the instructions of the Communist Party of China and was entrusted by Lin Boqu, deputy director of the General Affairs Department of the Kuomintang headquarters.
His task was to establish Kuomintang branches and Hunan general branches in Changsha, Ningxiang, Anyuan, and other places.
Thanks to the efforts of many people, including him, Hunan later became one of the provinces with the most developed Kuomintang organization. It is precisely because he has indeed devoted most of his energy to the revolutionary cause that he has little time to pay attention to his small family.
Even, Mao Anqing was born just a month ago, ** immediately left Changsha and returned to Shanghai because he received new instructions from the organization.
After that, Yang Kaihui could only take care of the two brothers Mao Anying and Mao Anqing alone.
Mao Anqing's childhood was rarely able to see his father.
If it is said that before Mao Anqing was born, ** and Yang Kaihui had always been husband and wife, then after Mao Anqing was born, due to various practical reasons, the couple became less together and more separated.
Especially when Mao Anqing was 4 years old, ** was ordered to launch the Autumn Harvest Uprising, this time, he waved away, and husband and wife, father and son have been separated from each other since then. Mao Anqing even has to wait for seventeen years to see *** again.
At that time, he was 21 years old, but he was already physically and mentally scarred.
Far from his father's years, the young Mao Anqing lived with his mother Yang Kaihui and his brother Mao Anying.
Yang Kaihui, who was already pregnant, gave birth to her third son, Mao Anlong, and Mao Anqing suddenly had a new "partner", which gave him a new sustenance for his monotonous and boring life.
However, at this time, the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had broken down, and the tense atmosphere spread from Shanghai to Changsha.
Yang Kaihui, as the wife of *** and as a member of the Communist Party, was especially concerned by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
The three brothers Mao Anying, Mao Anqing, and Mao Anlong began to hide with their mother**.
They are affected by the situation, and their young and fragile hearts have nowhere to rest, so they become more and more silent and become agitated. A little wind and grass is enough to make them panic and can't sleep.
Sometimes, in order to get in touch with the organization, and also to organize and lead the armed struggle, and to develop the party's organization, Yang Kaihui would have no time to take care of the three brothers, so she could only temporarily store them in some places that she thought were safer. At this time, Mao Anqing has always been protected by his brother Mao Anying, and he also learned from his brother to take care of himself and took care of his younger brother Mao Anlong.
Their days of suffering seem to have begun from this moment.
But if you want to be more serious, the year Yang Kaihui was killed and sacrificed, they completely fell into the abyss. Yang Kaihui died when Mao Anqing was 7 years old, that is, in 1930.
At that time, she was arrested by reactionary warlords and tortured.
She had the hope that as long as she was willing to follow the enemy's words and publish the newspaper to break off the relationship between husband and wife, she could escape the fate of being killed, but she resolutely refused to give in, and instead took the opportunity of relatives and friends to visit the prison to report the situation in prison to the organization, and was soon escorted to the execution ground on November 14, and died heroically.
Yang Kaihui died heroically, and the three brothers of Mao Anqing lost their mother forever, and it was when they lost their souls and were depressed, and they didn't have time to worry about their fate.
They were also imprisoned, but fortunately, because they were too young to know what was going on, they were not tortured much, and they waited until they were rescued by the organization.
At that time, ** led the revolutionary movement and couldn't get out, and his younger brother Mao ** rushed to Changsha to pick up his three nephews instead of him.
But in order not to be noticeable and to hide their identities, it was their grandmother and aunt who finally sent the three brothers to Shanghai. According to the original plan, after the three Mao Anqing brothers arrived in Shanghai, they would be organized to send special personnel to take charge of their resettlement work. But that's when things happened.
Because the Kuomintang reactionaries wantonly arrested Communist Party members in Shanghai, the underground organization of the Communist Party in Shanghai was also seriously damaged.
When the situation changed, the three brothers had no support, and because they could not contact the organization, they had no choice but to live on the streets. During the time of wandering on the streets, the three Mao Anqing brothers suffered a lot.
The most intuitive result is that Mao Anlong unfortunately died of illness on the way to wandering, and Mao Anqing was severely beaten by the spy patrol, unfortunately lost his ears and left a serious brain problem.
These injuries accompanied him for the rest of his life, and also made his already introverted even more silent and gloomy.
Later, Mao Anqing has always maintained a low-key style, and easily does not appear in public and in front of **, on the one hand, because he is introverted, does not like and is not good at dealing with people, and on the other hand, because his injury affects and interferes with his normal thinking and life, so that he can't spare excess energy for other aspects.
After the death of his younger brother Mao Anlong, Mao Anqing and his brother Mao Anying depended on each other and had a very deep relationship.
After five years of wandering, they were found by the underground party organization in 1936, and then arranged for them to study in the Soviet Union.
At this time, Mao Anqing was 13 years old and Mao Anying was 14 years old.
Because of their past encounters, the two were not very literate, and they finally returned to normal campus life until Moscow, the Soviet Union.
Later, Mao Anying returned to China earlier than Mao Anqing.
As the eldest brother, even if he is only one year older than Mao Anqing, he also feels that he has to take on more responsibilities.
It's just that when the news of his death on the Korean battlefield came, he probably didn't expect that his death caused great irritation to his younger brother.
In Mao Anqing's heart, Mao Anying's weight far exceeds that of everyone else, and after losing this sibling brother, his physical and psychological problems have become worse.
Zhang Tingjie, who worked as a secretary by Mao Anqing's side for 4 years, later recalled:"After Anying's death, Anqing said many times, 'I saw my brother, I'll go for a walk with him',It can be seen that he really cares.
Mao Anqing didn't meet his father again until he was 21 years old.
But in fact, as early as 1936, after the Mao Anqing brothers got in touch with the underground party organization, they knew their situation.
Later, they went to study in the Soviet Union, and often corresponded with them, and occasionally sent them some books on philosophy and literature, hoping that they could also strengthen their knowledge of the culture of their homeland in a foreign country.
After the death of the eldest son Mao Anying, the second son Mao Anqing became the only surviving son.
In the face of this sick and weak son, although he pity, he does not want him to be raised into a greenhouse flower.
Even if he was worried, he actively called on him to either go down to the grassroots or find his own career.
But Mao Anqing needs to be hospitalized for recuperation most of the time because of his illness, and his health occasionally improves, so he can only focus on translation work.
Later, he married a wife and had children, and he insisted on reading, composing lyrics, and composing music, tenaciously and optimistically fighting against the disease for a long time.
In 1976, ** died of illness, which was another heavy blow to Mao Anqing.
For the rest of his life, he misses his parents, older brother and younger brother, and even if his health has been poor, he wants to work hard with them.
Therefore, in the rest of the years, as long as his health permitted, he would take his wife and children to the old revolutionary base areas, factories and rural areas to investigate, enthusiastically support the construction of the old and young in the border and poor areas, and supported the establishment of a number of patriotic education bases for young people, which can be regarded as making contributions to the country and the people as much as he can.
Mao Anqing's personality is very introverted, and he rarely wants to appear in public in his life, so that many people don't actually know what he looks like.
For a long time, his position in the party was not prominent, and his organizational ties were always in the General Staff.
In his later years, Mao Anqing's condition worsened, and during his serious illness, he enjoyed medical treatment at the level of vice premier of the country.
The General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was fully involved in his rescue work.
In his later years, Mao Anqing suffered from many complications due to his old age and lack of necessary activities, among which heart disease was a more serious condition.
On March 23, 2007, Mao Anqing's death came very suddenly, and the arrangements for his aftermath were very hectic.
Later, Mao Anqing's spiritual hall was set up in the 400 compound of the Xishan Service Department of the General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
It is worth mentioning that Mao Anqing's brother, Mao Anying, who was missing until his death, was also buried with reference to the specifications of the country's vice premier level.
Unfortunately, the brothers were separated for 57 years, and finally one was buried in the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Martyrs Cemetery in Hicang, east of Pyongyang, and the other in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing.
