On October 14, 1956, Taiwan's big spy Mao Renfeng died of cancer. Mao Renfeng's life came to the end and suffered a bleak ending. During that time, he lost power, was almost ostracized, and was under tremendous pressure, eventually passing away. He was freed from the fog of political struggle, but left the children with the dilemma of facing the challenges of fate. Mao Renfeng has a total of eight children, including three sons and five daughters, all of whom were born to his wife Xiang Yingxin. The relationship between Xiang Yingxin and Mao Renfeng is equally complex and delicate, she is also a beauty from the military command, and she is also one of the most dangerous killers. Because Xiang Yingxin contributed to the military command, Dai Li specially arranged for her to marry Mao Renfeng, her right-hand man. Although Mao Renfeng loves Xiang Yingxin and raises children with her, he is also often wary of her.
In 1947, Mao Renfeng sent Xiang Yingxin to a psychiatric hospital on the grounds that she was mentally ill, and Xiang Yingxin was separated from the children. After that, Xiang Yingxin was discharged from the hospital and went to Hong Kong, where he was never heard from again. After Mao Renfeng's death, his children were still young, with no parents to rely on, and they were in a difficult situation. However, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to avoid tarnishing his reputation, did not take any action against these underage children. The eldest son, Mao Yunan, who was only 12 years old at the time, understood that his identity was sensitive, his father had died in disgrace, and his mother was also a political victim. As a result, Mao vowed never to get involved in politics, and he was a talented and hard-working student who was admitted to Cornell University in the United States at the age of 18 and then to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mao Yunan chose the business field and was keenly aware that the booming telecommunications industry at the time was a huge opportunity, and resolutely joined it. Years later, Mao Yunan has become an important figure in the telecommunications industry. In the 80s, he returned to China and devoted himself to the development of the telecommunications industry, bringing in a large amount of foreign capital, which led to the creation of Shanghai Bell Group. Anyone who has met Mao Yunan has commented that he is very similar to his father, and although Mao Renfeng has not personally taught his son much, the mother and son have inherited similar personality traits. His strong and aggressive personality and extraordinary control have earned Mao Yunan much praise, despite mixed opinions. However, it is undeniable that he has achieved great results with this style.
Mao Yunan is a workaholic, even at the age of 69 when he should retire, he still gladly accepted the invitation of HP Group to serve as the chairman of HP China, because HP was facing an economic crisis at that time, so the outside world generally believed that Mao Yunan was the fire captain invited by HP. This is enough to prove that the industry recognizes Mao Yunan's ability very much. On July 10, 2017, Mao Yunan became the new chairman of Foxconn, and also served as a director of six or seven other listed groups. Such a heavy workload is unbearable for ordinary people, but Mao Yunan enjoys it. He has a natural love of moving forward, and even in his advanced age, he still doesn't want to stop. This man of the year - Mao Yunan, although his achievements are high, the controversy has doubled, some people say that he is another "Mao Renfeng", but he does not agree with this statement.
He sees himself as a businessman, completely different from his father, and it is a prejudice that people deliberately look for similarities between themselves and their father. Although Mao Yunan is sharp in the mall, he is very low-key in private. He was very protective of his private life and rarely gave interviews to reporters, perhaps because of the lessons his father left him. To this day, Mao Yunan's image is still very mysterious in the eyes of the public. In addition to Mao Yunan, Mao Renfeng's third son, Mao Shunan, has also achieved high achievements. If Mao Yunan is the son who is most like Mao Renfeng, then Mao Shunan is the son who is the least like Mao Renfeng. When Mao Renfeng died, Mao Shunan was still a child, and he didn't even remember. The death of his father did not cause a great shock to the young Mao Shunan.
He left Taiwan with his older siblings and came to live in the United States, where he grew up, and later entered American colleges and universities like his older brother. Although Mao Renfeng is a celebrity, Mao Shunan has a very shallow understanding of his father, and sometimes he even needs to look for traces of his father from history textbooks. Perhaps because of this, he was not interested in his father's pursuit, which was a blessing in misfortune. Mao Shunan is a humble and low-key person, gentle and kind-hearted, which is completely opposite to his father's character. Because he left the hypocritical environment in Taiwan, Mao Shunan has been getting along with the Chinese people in the United States since he was a child, and he is full of deep attachment to the motherland. He has always wanted to return to his homeland and satisfy his homesickness. Although his brother Mao Renfeng was strongly hostile to New China, Mao Shunan, who grew up in a Chinese-American community, wanted to do something for the motherland.
Mao Shunan is extremely smart, but like his brother, he only wants to live a stable life. Most of his energy was devoted to contributing to his country. In the 80s, when China was undergoing reform and opening up, Mao Shunan used his influence to call on overseas Chinese to return to China to start a business. He himself led by example and moved the company back to China. Considering Mao Shunan's complex identity, this kind of move is really commendable. Mao Shunan returned to the United States to live in his later years, but he still cares about the motherland. He donated his life savings for the construction of public facilities such as education and medical care in China. Mao Shunan has always cherished his love for the motherland. Almost all of Mao Renfeng's children chose to do business and avoid politics. These children were luckier than Mao Renfeng, grew up in peaceful times, had more opportunities for free choice, and did not fall victim to political struggles.
Mao Renfeng himself used to play a lot of clever tricks, but in the end he got nothing. From this point of view, it is also sensible for his descendants to choose to stay away from politics. No matter what path they choose, they will succeed. Although their lives may be a little uneventful, it is also a precious happiness, compared to their father's controversial life.
