Mao Anhong, the son of **, did you find it?
He Zizhen and *** had 6 children, but 5 of them died or disappeared in the war and the Long March, and the only remaining daughter Li Min became her spiritual support. In 1953, He Zizhen wrote a letter to Shao Shiping, the governor of Jiangxi, hoping that he could help find his son Mao Anhong, who had been missing for nearly 20 years.
This is undoubtedly a very challenging task.
Mao Anhong's search for relatives is the common wish of *** and He Zizhen. In the letter, He Zizhen revealed that he had given birth to a boy in Jiangxi, but because of the Long March, the child was handed over to his family to raise, but unfortunately lost.
Now she is desperate for longing, and hopes that Shao Shiping can help find it. Shao Shiping, who received the letter, attached great importance to it, so he arranged for Zhu Kaiquan, director of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, to find a suitable person to be in charge of this matter.
Wang Jiazhen, a cadre of the Preferential Care Department, was ordered to immediately begin the work of searching for his relatives. So, did Mao Anhong find it in the end?It all started with his experience.
Wang Jiazhen) 1In the turbulent years, in November 1932, Changting, Fujian, a small life was born. It was the **Soviet area, the hot land of the red revolution, the Red Army was in full swing, and the red flag was flying.
So, ** named him Mao Anhong. However, soon after, He Zizhen could no longer take care of him due to illness, so he found a nurse named Rao Shuying to take care of Mao Anhong.
The nurse Rao Shuying is from Jiangxi, because she likes to call Mao Anhong Mao Mao, so He Zizhen and *** naturally call him Xiao Maomao. Mao Anhong has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a slightly wider face, and there is a shadow of *** between her eyebrows.
For this only child who grew up next to him and He Zizhen, ** loves Mao Anhong very much, and goes to the hospital to visit the mother and son almost every day. As long as Mao Anhong is awake, ** will take it from the nurse and coax it herself.
If Mao Anhong is sleeping, ** is quietly watching his wife and children on the side. When Mao Anhong grew up, from the beginning of learning to walk, she would follow her mother He Zizhen to welcome the *** who returned from going out
In the arms of ***, Mao Anhong happily called "Dad" and responded affectionately. ** also loves Mao Anhong, whenever he is tired from work, he will tell Mao Anhong stories and make him laugh.
Then, ** will tell Mao Anhong: "Xiao Mao, Dad is going to work, let's play here by myself." Hearing her father's departure, Mao Anhong would wave goodbye obediently, not willful.
** was pleased with his son's sensibility, he once jokingly said to Mao Anhong: "They call me **, your name is Xiao Mao Mao, one more Mao than me, you will be better than me in the future."
In October 1934, the Red Army's fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" failed, and in order to reverse the situation, ** and He Zizhen decided to take the Long March. In order to ensure the victory of the Long March and the safety of their children, they decided to leave the two-year-old Mao Anhong in the care of Mao Zetan and He Yi.
Before leaving, He Zizhen hoped to leave some warmth for the child, so he borrowed cotton, dismantled his military uniform, and sewed a small cotton jacket for Mao Anhong under the lamp, hoping that in winter, even if he was not by the child's side, he could feel the warmth of maternal love.
After the Red Army's Long March, the Ruijin area was attacked by the Kuomintang, and Mao Zetan and his wife fostered them in the local area in order to protect Mao Anhong, but Mao Zetan died heroically while covering the ** soldiers, and Mao Anhong has not been heard from since.
In the process of finding Mao Anhong, He Zizhen and her sister He Yi have experienced countless difficulties and setbacks. However, on the eve of liberation, He Yi once found some news about Mao Anhong, and she excitedly told *** that the Mao Anhong I lost in Jiangxi had been found.
**I was very happy to hear this news, but after careful comparison of time, place and age and other information, it was found that these did not match Mao Anhong, and this search for relatives ended in failure.
In November 1949, He Yi was still worried about Mao Anhong's whereabouts, so she made a special trip to Jiangxi to look for it, but unfortunately she was in a car accident in Fengtang Village, Taihe County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, and unfortunately died on the spot.
The leader of the Communist Party*** has a child who lives in Ruijin. ”
This information made Wang Jiazhen even more convinced that he would definitely be able to find Mao Anhong. However, in the early days when he began to search for Mao Anhong, he encountered difficulties. At the beginning of the Long March, many Red Army soldiers placed their children in foster homes with villagers in Ruijin.
In order to ensure the safety of the child, the foster care process is carried out in secret, and no one knows which child is being fostered in**. In addition, after the fall of Ruijin, the Kuomintang army carried out many large-scale ** in the Ruijin area, killing many descendants of the Red Army, and there were only a few children who survived.
Wang Jiazhen went through hard work and visited the old Red Army in the Ruijin area, and finally found clues in Zhufang Village. According to the two farmers, there was a husband and wife named Zhu Shengtao and Huang Yueying in Zhufang Village, who had adopted a child around October 1934, and the child's age, appearance and other characteristics matched that of Mao Anhong, and was later named "Zhu Daolai".
Is this the Mao Anhong that Wang Jiazhen is looking for?Hearing the news, Wang Jiazhen's heart was full of expectations. The next day, he got his wish and met Zhu Shengtao and Huang Yueying in Zhufang Village.
To make sure nothing went wrong, Wang Jiazhen first asked the couple if they had adopted a child. The two peasants replied in unison: "We did adopt a child of the Red Army and named him Zhu Daolai."
Wang Jiazhen found that Zhu Daolai was similar to *** through **, and after careful comparison, it was confirmed that Zhu Daolai was the Mao Anhong he was looking for. According to Zhu Daolai's adoptive parents, Zhu Shengtao and Huang Yueying, one day at the end of the ninth lunar month in 1934, three Red Army soldiers broke into their home, one of them holding a child in his arms.
He explained: "Fellow, this is a child of the Red Army, the big army is leaving, we are also going to fight, please take care of this child." The sudden request made Huang Yueying hesitate.
In Zhufang Village, Zhu Daolai's home of Zhu Shengtao, who has lived for more than 20 years, Huang Yueying found the child in her arms, about 2 years old, as a mother who has given birth to 4 children, she immediately empathized and held the child tightly in her arms.
Seeing that Huang Yueying accepted the child, the two Red Army cadres were relieved, and once again expressed their gratitude to Zhu Shengtao and Huang Yueying, and repeatedly advised: "Please protect this child, because the Red Army will be grateful to you in the future."
In order to protect the child, Zhu Shengtao and his wife specially renamed him "Zhu Daolai", which means that he was picked up on the road, hoping to dispel the possible doubts of others.
However, at the Zhu family, Wang Jiazhen did not see Zhu Daolai, and after detailed inquiry, he learned that two months before Zhu Dao came, a Nanjing woman named Zhu Yueqian, with a letter of introduction from the Nanjing Air Force Headquarters, claimed to be Zhu Daolai's mother and took him away.
Despite this, Wang Jiazhen immediately reported the situation to the director.
After Zhu Kaiquan received Wang Jiazhen's major discovery, he immediately made an emergency report to Shao Shiping. Soon after, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee received Shao Shiping's information and transmitted Zhu Daolai's information and materials to Shanghai.
After He Zizhen saw **, he recognized his child Maomao at a glance. She was so anxious that she immediately reported to the Central Organization Department: "Zhu Daolai looks very much like my little Maomao.
He Zizhen hopes that the organization can let Zhu Daolai's adoptive mother and Zhu Daolai come to Shanghai, and she wants to confirm it in person. The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, which received He Zizhen's request, quickly replied and agreed that Wang Jiazhen, Huang Yueying, and Zhu Daolai would come to Shanghai to meet with He Zizhen.
After many tosses, Wang Jiazhen took Zhu Shengtao and his wife to Nanjing to pick up Zhu Daolai, and the three of them went to Shanghai together.
In mid-June 1953, in a small building on Liyang Road in Shanghai, He Zizhen saw his longing son. When they first met, He Zizhen determined that Zhu Daolai was his lost son Maomao, because he looked very similar to the *** when he was young.
She looked at Zhu Daolai carefully, the more she looked at it, the more excited she became, the tears on her face couldn't stop, and finally she couldn't help but hug Zhu Daolai into her arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Mao Mao, you are my Mao Mao!."
Huang Yueying showed a small padded jacket that she had sewn with her own hands, and this physical evidence once again confirmed Zhu Daolai's identity. It is amazing how well this little padded jacket has been preserved, despite the fact that many years have passed.
He Zizhen expressed his deep gratitude to Huang Yueying.
He Zizhen's younger brother He Minxue and his wife Li Liying were the first to learn the news of He Zizhen's child, and they immediately rushed to He Zizhen's house. After meeting Zhu Daolai, they also confirmed that Zhu Daolai was the child of ***.
Then, ** and Wei Wenbo also came to visit He Zizhen, and everyone agreed that Zhu Daolai was He Zizhen and ***'s child. About half a month later, ** met Huang Yueying and Zhu Daolai for the first time in Beijing, and he did not directly say that this was his son Mao Anhong, but said: "This child is very similar to Mao Zetan when he was young."
He Zizhen also gave Zhu Daolai a physical examination, and the results showed that Zhu Daolai's blood type was consistent with He Zizhen. However, it didn't take long for another piece of news to shatter her happiness.
The sudden change made the time spent by Zhu Shengtai and his wife in Shanghai extremely precious. They stayed in Shanghai for a while, but the news reached Beijing.
The East China Bureau told the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee that they wanted to meet Huang Jiazhen, Huang Yueying and Zhu Daolai. The next day, the three of them embarked on a journey to Beijing. In Beijing, they are well cared for, but no matter how beautiful it is outside, there is no substitute for the warmth of their hometown.
After staying for more than 20 days, Mr. and Mrs. Zhu decided to return to their hometown. When parting, Zhu Daolai held Huang Yueying's hand tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "You are my biological mother, I will always remember you, and I will come back to see you."
However, this is the beginning of Zhu Daolai and He Zizhen's new life, but I didn't expect another accident.
Not long after, Zhu Yueqian, a Nanjing woman who had taken Zhu Daolai before, suddenly appeared at a guest house in Beijing, insisting that Zhu Daolai was her and Huo Buqing's child. This makes things even more complicated.
**After listening to the report on this situation, he said resolutely: "Whoever he is, is a descendant of the revolution, and we should hand him over to the people and the organization."
** It is proposed to hand over Zhu Daolai to Shuai Mengqi to raise, and Shuai Mengqi's family has adopted many children of revolutionary martyrs, which is very suitable for the current situation. **Agreed after hearing this suggestion.
Zhu Daolai, who stayed in Beijing, went to Tsinghua High School to continue his Xi studies, and was successfully admitted to the engineering department of Tsinghua University in 1957, and after graduation, he engaged in research work in a national defense research unit.
Later, Zhu Daolai died in Nanjing, and whether "Zhu Daolai" was really "Mao Anhong" is still an unsolved mystery.
In the long course of the revolution, countless Red Army families made difficult choices, and they chose to abandon their small families in order to protect everyone. At the critical juncture of the country's survival, they did not hesitate to choose to sacrifice their happiness and even their lives in exchange for the peace of the country and the people.
Whenever the people encountered difficulties and the country was in danger, it was always the communists and liberation soldiers who stepped forward, and they were real heroes who deserved our incomparable respect and Xi.
We are today because of the selfless dedication and heroic sacrifice of countless heroes and martyrs in the past. Let us cherish this peace, maintain the reverence for war and cherish life, and only then will our country and nation become more prosperous.
** The bits and pieces of life, from his family life to his son Mao Mao, to his revolutionary story in Yongding, Fujian, are an important window for us to understand his life.
Among them, Wu Jiqing's "Days by ***" reveals the other side of *** for us.
