's three wives gave birth to four boys and two daughters for him, of which the third son Mao Anlong and the fourth son Mao Anhong are missing, life and death are unknown, the second son Mao Anqing is not in good health, and the most distressing thing for him is the early death of the eldest son Mao Anying, which hit him too hard.
Some people say that a wife is like a mirror that reflects a person's heart from another side.
Yang Kaihui is the daughter of Yang Changji, the teacher of ***, this scholarly lady, moderate figure, smart and wise, warm and gentle.
When she fell in love with *** wholeheartedly, she fully supported the cause of *** regardless of any difficulties and obstacles, they were intimate partners, and they were a revolutionary couple.
It can be seen from a poem written by *** to Yang Kaihui.
At the end of 1923, ** left Changsha for the revolutionary cause, and wrote a poem called "He Bridegroom" before leaving.
waved his hand away, and he was even more sad, and he complained bitterly, ......”
Professor Kang Zhen of Beijing Normal University said movingly that in this poem, ** vividly expressed his deep feelings for Yang Kaihui, a "confidant", and even said that it was heart-to-heart and flying together.
After the failure of the Great Revolution in 1927, ** said goodbye to Yang Kaihui and his three children again, and soon went to Jinggang Mountain, and lost contact with Yang Kaihui from then on, and finally got the news that Yang Kaihui was brutally killed by the enemy.
In 1930, Yang Kaihui and his eldest son Mao Anying were imprisoned together, and in the face of the enemy's coercion and temptation, Yang Kaihui gritted his teeth and replied: "It's not a pity for me to die, I only hope that the Runzhi Revolution will succeed as soon as possible." ”
Yang Kaihui was only 29 years old when he died.
Subsequently, Mao Anying was rescued by the organization and brought to his younger brother Mao **, Mao Anying cried and told Mao **: Mother was killed by the enemy. Mao**, who doesn't cry easily, cried with grief when he learned about it.
For the safety of the three children, the Yang family quickly sent the three children to Shanghai. They first went to kindergarten and then had to walk the streets.
At that time, it is rumored that Mao Anlong had unfortunately died, and he and his younger brother Mao Anqing suffered a lot in Shanghai, turning over garbage cans, sleeping in parks, and selling newspapers.
It wasn't until 1936 that Mao Anying and the others were found by the organization and quickly sent to the Soviet Union for refuge.
And *** here, when he was reading the newspaper in 1930, he suddenly confirmed from the newspaper that Yang Kaihui was sacrificed under He Jian's butcher's knife, and he was very sad, and then said eight big words: Kaihui's death, a hundred bodies cannot be redeemed.
Maybe you don't know that Yang Kaihui missed him like a long river at that time, which can be corroborated from a poem written by Yang Kaihui in 1928.
The poem is called "Occasional Feeling", and there is a line in it:
The sky is cloudy and windy, and the cold penetrates the ...... muscles and bonesHas the foot disease been cured?Do you have winter clothes?
From these few sentences, it can be seen that "whether the foot disease has been cured" refers to the fact that *** had a foot injury when he left home and has not healed, Yang Kaihui's concern can be described as meticulous and moving.
Many years later, He Zizhen also confirmed when he recalled the first meeting with *** that *** had blisters on his feet at that time, and he seemed to be suffering from a serious foot disease, coupled with walking for a long time, the situation seemed to be more serious.
It is a pity that Yang Kaihui's poem "Occasional Feeling" was found in the cracks of the wall when the staff was repairing Yang Kaihui's former residence in 1982.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yang Kaihui's classmate Li Shuyi, a classmate when he was in school, once wrote a letter to *** to express his longing for Yang Kaihui.
It begins with:I am arrogant, Yang Jun loses the willow, and the willow is light and straight to the sky.
"Proud Yang" is Yang Kaihui, which shows that Yang Kaihui is proud, proud, and noble in his heart.
According to Mao Anqing's recollection, once he asked his father to rewrite "Butterfly Love Flower", * took up the pen and wrote down four words: "I lost Yang Hua".
Mao Anying reminded:"Dad, did you make a mistake?Isn't it arrogant?”
Look at *** again, he is in tears, and he can't help it. He said slowly: "Anqing, Yang Hua is also very appropriate. ”
It turned out that in the heart of the great leader, his beloved wife Yang Kaihui has always been a "Yang flower", but he has always hidden it in his heart and is not known to others.
When Mao Anying was in the Soviet Union, he missed it very much, and he sent letters to his two children many times, and he did not forget to send ** and Li Ne's paintings to the children.
In each letter, ** wrote the words "I like it very much" and "I look forward to coming back", hoping that they will grow up happily and continue to improve.
Father's love is still faintly visible from thousands of mountains and rivers, and the letters written by *** every day from his busy schedule are great father's love.
At the end of 1945, ** was not in good health, perhaps due to overwork and illness, and the Chinese medicine in Yan'an could not **, some comrades suggested that the Soviet Union should send a few doctors over.
On that day, *** was recuperating at home, and the Soviet Union called to say that the doctor sent to China had set off, accompanied by ***'s eldest son Mao Anying.
Seeing the last sentence, ** sat up from the bed suddenly, and hurriedly asked the guard to prepare the car, he did not hesitate to go to the airport despite his illness, in order to pick up his son in person.
On the day the plane arrived in Yan'an, when Mao Anying walked down wearing the uniform of a Soviet Army captain, he had not seen his son *** quietly crying for more than ten years, he stepped forward and hugged Mao Anying tightly: "You have grown so tall!."Oh my Kishiying!”
After Mao Anying returned to Yan'an, **'s condition has improved greatly before the doctor's diagnosis, as *** said, this is "the disease of missing".
The father and son have not seen each other for many years, and they have talked all night.
But soon, ** discovered a small problem with Mao Anying, he grew up in the Soviet Union all the year round, ate foreign ink, drank milk, and dressed cleanly, whenever he went out, he attracted countless onlookers.
In fact, *** doesn't want his children to be like this.
One day, ** calmed down and said to Mao Anying: "Anying, Dad has a request for you, I don't know what you think." ”
Speaking extremely implicitly, he added:"You studied at a Soviet university and participated in the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union, but you still don't know enough about the actual situation in China, so you should make up for it. ”
Mao Anying is a smart child, although he lowered his head and didn't say a word, he already understood what his father meant.
The next day, Mao Anying took off his military uniform, carried his luggage, and came to the Wujia Zaoyuan in the model village, and asked the peasants to take themselves to the fields to work, and he wanted to eat, live and work with the peasant uncles.
When I learned about it, I smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing this, he once said to ***: "Chairman, are you too strict with Shore Ying like this, he has suffered enough grievances since he was a child." ”
As a result, *** said, "Who made him my ***'s child?" ”
In the second half of 1946, Hu Zongnan attacked Yan'an, and the situation was tense, and Mao Anying returned to Yan'an to report the results of his studies to his father.
When *** saw ** dark, calloused on his hands, and changed his son, he said distressedly:"Anying, your learning results are good. ”
In order to strike while the iron is hot, ** also asked Mao Anying to participate in the land reform and continue to receive exercise, Mao Anying is never tired of it.
*After the agency moved to Xibaipo, Li Ne's mother once introduced a person to Mao Anying, who was very beautiful and came from Beijing, but *** didn't think so, he said to Mao Anying: "What's the use of being beautiful?."Her ideals, her character, you know?”
Soon, Mao Anying met a girl named Liu Siqi in Xibaipo.
In fact, Liu Siqi is the goddaughter of ***, as early as ten years ago, ** saw this girl when she was watching the play, she is the child of the martyr Liu Qianchu.
** said distressedly: "You turned out to be the child of a martyr, then you will be my goddaughter in the future." "Maybe *** didn't expect that this girl would become his prospective daughter-in-law in the future.
When Mao Anying learned about such a thing, she was very excited, this is a kiss and a kiss.
**Although he ostensibly agreed to this marriage, because Liu Siqi was still young at the time, under the age of 18, and was still studying, he was not allowed to get married now, so he had to wait.
On October 1, 1949, the founding ceremony was held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, and half a month later, ** called Mao Anying and Liu Siqi by his side and decided to hold a marriage for them.
Although the scene of this wedding is not large, the specifications are extremely high, and the guests invited are all VIPs, such as *** Ren Bishi, and their wives.
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi wore big red flowers on their chests, which was full of festivity. According to Li Min's recollection, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi were very happy after they got married, Mao Anying worked in the factory, and Liu Siqi continued to study in school.
Mao Anying has asked Liu Siqi many times: "Do you think I am qualified to be the son of ***?"”
Qualified, of course qualified. In Liu Siqi's eyes, Mao Anying is a good son and a good husband.
However, Liu Siqi didn't expect that before he asked this question in person, he would leave himself in a foreign country forever.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, ** held an emergency meeting in Zhongnanhai to study the question of whether to send troops.
He once said to ***: "For the happiness of the generations that come after us, this battle must be fought." ”
Using a line from the movie "Changjin Lake", ** said: "Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come." ”
Subsequently, ** ordered the establishment of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, ** as the commander-in-chief, and it was at this time that Mao Anying, who had just returned from visiting relatives in his hometown, suddenly found *** and said that he wanted to go to Korea to join the war.
** I was not surprised to receive Mao Anying's request, but he disagreed.
** said: "You three brothers, one disappeared in Shanghai, the other is not in good health, and now you are the only one who can be with your father." ”
But Mao Anying was determined to go, and he found *** to let *** intercede for Mr. Peng.
is a child who understands himself, and he also knows Mao Anying's excellence, and finally gave a special banquet to ***, hoping that *** can bring him to North Korea.
At this time, **here reported to ***, saying that the Volunteer Army Headquarters lacked a Russian translator with reliable political experience, ** thought about it and said: "Then let Mao Anying go." ”
In this way, Mao Anying, as a Russian translator, followed *** across the Yalu River and came to the Korean battlefield.
Before leaving, the careful Mao Anying went to say goodbye to his wife Liu Siqi, and he told his wife three things:First, I went to Zhongnanhai to visit my father every week, second, I finished my studies well, and third, I helped him take care of Mao Anqing.
Mao Anying's performance in North Korea is excellent, according to the memories of Zhao Nanqi, who once stayed with Mao Anying, Mao Anying's skills learned in the Soviet Union were used on the Korean battlefield.
He also enthusiastically helped his comrades-in-arms write letters to their families, and on another occasion, when a North Korean resident encountered a fire, Mao Anying rescued a little girl from the resident's home.
But fate is merciless.
On the morning of December 25, 1950, two roars of enemy planes and fighters were heard from Dayu Cave, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.
At that time, *** and everyone had already moved to the bomb shelter, and ** specifically asked if anyone had been left behind.
After the enemy plane flew, everyone thought that the enemy plane had already left, but a few minutes later, the enemy plane turned around and came back, and then dropped 100 napalm bombs at Dayudong.
At that time, there was a sea of fire in Dayu Cave, and Mao Anying's comrades-in-arms recalled: "The waves of the fire were very strong, and they washed us out a few meters away. ”
But when the fire passed, someone suddenly reported that two comrades-in-arms had been sacrificed, ** looked left and right, Mao Anying was not around, and realized that something was wrong.
After cleaning up the scene, two charred bodies were found, one was the secretary Gao Ruixin and the other was Mao Anying.
After the incident, ** immediately sent a power to ** to report the tragic result.
In the telegram wrote:
At 11 o'clock, the four of them returned to the house, and suddenly four enemy planes came and dropped nearly 100 incendiary bombs, hitting the house, and the two staff officers ran out. Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin were burned to death before they ran out in time. ......After the telegram was sent back to Beijing, ** was worried that *** would be unbearable, so he quietly suppressed the telegram, and it was not until the beginning of 1951 that ** asked Ye Zilong to show the telegram to ***.
How did the father feel when he learned of his son's sacrifice?
Ye Zilong recalled, ** stared at the telegram for a long time, he suddenly buried his head very low, and wanted to get a cigarette to smoke, but the matchbox was obviously in front of him, and he had been looking for it in his pocket.
He was silent for a long time, and said to the people around him with a sigh: "It's not a big deal, who made him my *** child!."”
He also said: "Don't think that it's my son who sacrificed, which of so many volunteer soldiers was not raised by his father." ”
Regarding Mao Anying, ** has said more than once, "Who made him my *** child." ”
This simple and simple sentence is enough to show that although he loves Mao Anying, he has always been very strict, until the child died, he still held back his tears and regarded the child as his pride, this kind of mind is not something that everyone can have.
Later, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was about to end, ** proposed to transport Mao Anying's body back to China and bury it next to Yang Kaihui, but *** disagreed, he said: "Just let him stay in North Korea, aren't there still thousands of volunteer martyrs in North Korea?"”
As the saying goes, Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned.
Mao Anying, along with other volunteer martyrs, stayed in a foreign country.
Am I qualified to be a *** child?”
After Mao Anying's sacrifice, Liu Siqi conveyed this problem to ***
Tearfully replied: "Qualified!."”
