Before dying, he wrote to **: I am old, please help me take care of my ninth brother."
As we all know, the ** family paid great sacrifices in the war of resistance. During the war-torn years, the President lost many relatives and left only a few younger brothers. However, in the 70s, the chairman's health deteriorated day by day, and he was well aware of his own health. Despite this, there is one thing that the chairman is not worried about, and that is his ninth brother.
For the first time, the chairman wrote to the local **, imploring them to take care of their younger brother.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the chairman was busy with war, and the enemy posed a threat to him. Because of his responsibility to protect his family, the President never returned home during the war.
For Shaoshan, the chairman is nostalgic. However, for a number of reasons, the President has not been able to return to his hometown for many years. Back in the revolutionary period, the enemy had already attacked the chairman's hometown, so the chairman was constantly busy protecting his family.
It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that the chairman had the opportunity to look back on his hometown. Looking back at the sacrifices of his younger brothers and sisters in the revolution, the chairman's heart is like a knife.
Because of their status as president, several younger brothers were also eager to follow in the footsteps of the chairman and participate in the revolution. Some have different aspirations, some want to work together with the chairman for the revolutionary cause, while others choose to stay at home and take care of their elders.
Filial piety comes first, and the ninth brother of the chairman chooses to stay at home to take care of the elders. Faced with the danger of the revolution, he resolutely stayed.
In the 20s of the 20th century, the chairman became a thorn in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes. The chairman's family was inevitably affected, but Mao Zelian knew that his brother was doing the right thing. Pursued by the enemy, he stubbornly resisted.
In a time to escape the pursuit of the enemy, Mao Zelian was unfortunately injured. At first, he didn't take it too seriously, but gradually he realized that something was wrong, and his injured eyes began to blur. At that time, medical conditions were limited, and in the face of the enemy's pursuit, he simply did not have time, so he lost the best opportunity.
Mao Zelian never gave up on the revolution, even though he was seriously wounded. The promise of the organization was that as long as the injury healed, the revolution could continue, but at this time there was bad news, Mao Zelian's brother Mao Zetan died.
His brother's sacrifice brought great pain to Mao Zelian, but he had no time to bask in his grief because he had another task in front of him - to take care of his brother's children. Since then, Mao Zelian has remained in Shaoshan.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the chairman's cousin mentioned Mao Zelian's situation. Although Mao Zelian's life was difficult and his cousin revealed his willingness to help, the chairman resolutely refused.
Mao Zelian never asked the party and the state for help, nor did he inform the chairman. His children dropped out of school for financial reasons, and even then, Mao Zelian did not mention it to the chairman.
By the mid-70s, the chairman's health was deteriorating and he was well aware of his situation. When he was dying, he was still thinking about his ninth brother, and for the first time he made an exception and wrote to the local **: Please help me take care of my ninth brother, I am really old......”
** Always resolutely oppose being special, and be strict with yourself and your relatives. He deeply hated the situation within the Kuomintang and took it as a warning.
The chairman clearly knew that if the party did the same as the Kuomintang, it would inevitably fail. His exact words were: "Those who engage in special activities will eventually destroy themselves!"We can't be such people!”
The chairman has always been self-disciplined, and the same is true for his own children. During the Yan'an period, the food situation was extremely poor, everyone ate a big pot of rice, and even the wounded and elderly soldiers shared the same pot.
Li Ne, who was only three years old, was also arranged to eat with the large army. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the chairman still asked Li Ne to eat with the army, reflecting his strict requirements for himself and his family.
Zhongnanhai, where the chairman lives, is uninhabited all year round, and there are serious problems with the room. When the guards offered to repair the house for the chairman, the chairman directly refused and forbade him to touch his house. The chairman has always been self-disciplined, and Mao Zelian may be the only thing he "goes out of line", but Mao Zelian has also participated in the revolution, and it is natural to take care of him.
**'s ninth brother, who is also the ninth grandfather, has stayed in Shaoshan all his life.
This is also a helpless move. In his early years, Mao Zelian was ambitious, and after seeing his third brother, he also had revolutionary aspirations. Although the chairman was often away from home, several of his younger brothers loved him dearly.
Mao Zelian is one of the chairman's younger brothers. Whenever the chairman left, Mao Zelian always pulled the chairman's clothes tightly and asked, "Third brother, when will you come back next time?"”
As long as the revolution succeeds, I will come back!”
Third brother, how long will it take for the revolution to succeed?”
The third brother can't say for sure, it may be ten years, or twenty years, no matter how many years, it will be successful after all!”
Third brother, I will also help you with the revolution!The chairman looked at the young Mao Zelian, smiled and touched his head, but did not speak. However, at this time, Mao Zelian made an oath in his heart, determined to participate in the revolution in the future.
A long time passed for the next meeting between the chairman and Mao Zelian. At this time, Mao Zelian had gradually grown up, and when the chairman returned home again, he once again put forward his ideas. This time, the chairman did not stop him. With the support of the chairman, Mao Zelian was full of passion. From then on, Mao Zelian participated in the revolution in Shaoshan until he was injured.
It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the chairman and Mao Zelian had the opportunity to meet again. Looking into his brother's eyes, even if he was as strong as the chairman, he left tears.
After that, the chairman insisted that Mao Zelian stay in Beijing, and gave him a few hundred yuan for the journey. Holding the money in his hand, on the way back, Mao Zelian muttered to himself: "If you don't come, you'll make trouble for the chairman......”
Epilogue In 1976, when the news of the chairman's death reached Shaoshan, Mao Zelian knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Third brother......I'll never see you again......”
In his later years, Mao Zelian always remembered the chairman's teachings, and he did not ask for a penny except for the care that the chairman advised. Until Mao Zelian's death, his family was still destitute.
