In 1970, Shao Hua had a difficult birth, and the doctor sent someone to send an urgent message, ** one sentence saved his grandson's life
On November 25, 1950, Comrade Mao Anying died heroically in North Korea, and his marriage with his wife Liu Siqi lasted only one year, and the two spent only one month together.
At this time, Comrade Zhang Wenqiu felt guilty for his father-in-law, because their daughter had not left a son and a half daughter for the Mao family.
However, in April 1960, Comrade Zhang Wenqiu finally got his wish and successfully married Liu Siqi's half-sister Shao Hua to Mao Anqing, the second son of ***.
Then, in January 1970, Shao Hua was about to give birth, but encountered the dilemma of dystocia. The hospital urgently reported the situation to *** and urgently asked: "Protect the adult, or protect the child?"”
At this time, ** was already 77 years old, but he did not hesitate to express his opinion on this news.
On January 17, good news came from Zhongnanhai: Shao Hua's mother and son were safe.
So, what exactly did ** instruct do?
When it comes to Mao Anqing and Shao Hua, they are both children who have experienced a difficult fate.
In 1923, Mao Anqing was born. When he was 4 years old, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup d'état, leading the ranks of the Autumn Harvest Uprising to Jinggangshan to launch the armed struggle of our party. Therefore, in Mao Anqing's memory, there is only a vague image of his father, and it takes 22 years to meet his father again.
At the end of 1930, her mother, Yang Kaihui, was arrested and imprisoned by reactionary warlords and soon executed. **'s three sons were transferred to a nursery school in Shanghai. However, the peaceful days only lasted for a few months, Gu Shunzhang betrayed, the nursery was forced to dissolve, Mao Anlong died young, and Mao Anqing and his brother Mao Anying, who was one year older than him, could only live on the streets. Mao Anying recalled that apart from stealing and acting as the godson of a capitalist, the two brothers suffered almost the same as Sanmao.
Once, Mao Anqing wrote the slogan "Down with imperialism" on a telephone pole on the street, but was discovered by the concession patrol and hit him on the head with a stick, burying a mental illness that has plagued him for the rest of his life.
The two brothers have been adrift on the streets of Shanghai for five years. In 1936, the organization finally found them with great difficulty, and with the assistance of General Zhang Xueliang, sent them to the Soviet Union. Mao Anqing began to live a relatively stable life, and with the arrival of Comrade He Zizhen, he and his brother also felt the long-lost maternal love again.
In 1938, ***, who was 45 years old at the time, finally saw the children's ** after 11 years of separation from his sons. He could not hide his father's affectionate feelings, and was excited, and began to write letters frequently, and also personally selected a large number of books and entrusted comrades who went out to bring them to them.
At the end of 1947, Mao Anqing returned to China. Although he missed his second son very much, for the sake of the revolutionary cause, he "ruthlessly" asked Mao Anqing to go to Keshan, Heilongjiang under the pseudonym of "Yang Yongshou" to participate in land reform.
At that time, bandits were rampant in the Heilongjiang region, the climate was harsh, and the local "Keshan disease" was even more life-threatening. However, Mao Anqing was undaunted, settled down, and went deep into the grassroots to carry out land reform work. He lived and ate with his comrades, taught local children to read and write in his spare time, sang songs and played the accordion.
This hard-working and conscientious young man turned out to be the biological son of the great leader***, but he never revealed this experience to outsiders. It was not until 2005 that a local comrade engaged in land reform wrote a letter mentioning this matter, and Comrade Shao Hua learned about it for the first time.
In July 1949, Mao Anqing finally returned to Beijing to reunite with his father, who had been separated for 22 years. However, ** did not give him special care, but arranged for him to work as an ordinary Russian translator in the Central Propaganda Department.
In October of the same year, Comrade Mao Anying and Comrade Liu Siqi got married, and Mao Anqing happily attended her brother's wedding, and also met her sister Shao Hua, who had not yet gone to school, at the ceremony.
Because of the relationship between relatives and family, Mao Anqing became a frequent visitor to Comrade Zhang Wenqiu's house. At that time, ** and Comrade Mao Anying were very busy. Therefore, Zhang Wenqiu took special care of Mao Anqing, like his own son.
Knowing Mao Anqing's tragic experience and mental illness, every time Mao Anqing visited her home, she would carefully prepare a sumptuous meal, and even let Mao Anqing bring the dirty clothes she usually wore to wash. When Mao Anqing left, Zhang Wenqiu was always worried that he would not have enough money and would stuff him with the money he saved.
However, with the news of Comrade Mao Anying's heroic death in North Korea, Mao Anqing's peaceful life completely collapsed. From the age of 7, he and his brother were inseparable, and the two brothers depended on each other for 16 years (Comrade Mao Anying returned to China in 1946), and his brother became his only spiritual pillar to a large extent.
Suddenly, his brother, who was as close as a sibling, passed away, and Mao Anqing's already improved condition broke out again. **In desperation, he was sent to the Soviet Union, where he spent eight years in better medical conditions. When he returned home, he was 36 years old, still alone.
Okay, let's get to know Comrade Shao Hua next.
Shao Hua's father is not surnamed Shao, but follows the surname of his mother Zhang Wenqiu. This decision stemmed from Zhang Wenqiu's first husband, Comrade Liu Qianchu, who left behind his wife and eldest daughter, Liu Siqi, after his heroic death in 1931.
In 1937, Zhang Wenqiu and the old Red Army Chen Zhenya married again, and welcomed the birth of their second daughter the following year. In order to ensure the safety of his daughter, especially during the revolutionary period, Chen Zhenya made the decision to let her daughter follow her mother's surname, so the daughter was named Zhang Shaohua. With the passage of time, in order to live a low-key life, Zhang Shaohua later even changed his name to Shao Hua. Behind the change of this name, there are the vicissitudes of family history.
Due to the turmoil of the war years, Shao Hua was unable to receive a formal education.
In 1938, Zhang Wenqiu's family and more than 100 party comrades planned to travel to the Soviet Union via Xinjiang, but they were detained by the local reactionary warlord Sheng Shicai.
In 1941, Comrade Chen Zhenya was assassinated by the enemy while recuperating from illness. The following year, Zhang Wenqiu, her three daughters (three of whom were born in 1942), and more than 100 comrades were thrown into prison by the enemy, a predicament that lasted for four years.
At that time, Shao Hua had already remembered. She recalls the harsh winter in Xinjiang, when the wind howled in the prison, and whenever her mother was taken away by the enemy for interrogation, the three sisters could only snuggle together to keep warm, worrying about whether they would ever see their mother again. In terms of food, everyone can only eat moldy noodles and boiled radishes with sand, without any oil and salt.
It was not until General Zhang Zhizhong, an old friend of our party, was in charge of Xinjiang that the four mothers and daughters and other comrades were rescued.
After the completion of the new middle school, Zhang Wenqiu was busy with work and could not arrange for Shao Hua to officially go to school. After Liu Siqi and Mao Anying got married, they would often take their younger sister to Zhongnanhai to visit***
** He is very concerned about the studies of his son and daughter-in-law, and often asks them about their Xi. Once, Shao Hua expressed his desire to go to school to ***: "Uncle Mao, I want to go to school too!."* Only then did I learn that 11-year-old Shao Hua had not even started studying. For this reason, he personally arranged for Shao Hua to be sent to the primary school directly under **.
Shao Hua has a cheerful personality, loves reading, and likes to share her reading experience with her. One day in 1959, Shao Hua recommended "Jane Eyre" to ***. A few days later, she was surprised to find that *** had read the book quickly in her busy schedule. So, the two began to discuss the contents of the book. In the process of communication, the topic quietly turned to Mao Anqing.
** sighed softly, and began to talk about Mao Anqing's marriage problem, looking a little sad.
At this time, *** is more like an ordinary father who is worried about his son's marriage, and his communication with Shao Hua is more cordial and natural, as if he does not regard Shao Hua as an outsider.
However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a deep emotion.
In the autumn of 1959, Mao Anqing's condition had improved significantly, and he expressed his desire to return to China. After being approved, he was arranged to recuperate in Dalian (then known as Luda City). There, Comrade Zhang Shibao of the Security Department of the Public Security Bureau was in charge of his life and security.
At that time, Mao Anqing was already 36 years old, and the local leaders were worried about his marriage, so they found a politically reliable, well-behaved, and delicate woman, so that the two could get along for a while.
This female ** is indeed an excellent comrade, and she takes very good care of Mao Anqing. However, emotional things can not be achieved only if they are politically reliable, after a period of communication, Mao Anqing did not become interested, and this relationship could only end without a problem.
Because Liu Siqi failed to leave descendants for ***, Zhang Wenqiu felt guilty. After learning that Shao Hua mentioned ***'s conversation, she had a new idea, can she match up and let Shao Hua and Mao Anqing reconnect?
So, in January 1960, taking advantage of the opportunity of Dalian to recuperate, Zhang Wenqiu also brought Shao Hua over, hoping to take this opportunity to promote Shao Hua and Mao Anqing to meet again.
Zhang Shibao remembered that day, the snow had just stopped, and Mao Anqing got up and saw two magpies chirping happily outside the window, and asked him happily: "Director Zhang, is there anything good today?"Zhang Shibao replied with a smile: "Yes, there are distinguished guests visiting today. ”
When he walked into the reception room with Mao Anqing, the city leaders were chatting with Zhang Wenqiu. Mao Anqing greeted Aunt Zhang happily when he saw Aunt Zhang, who he hadn't seen for many years, while Shao Hua said to him unreservedly: "Brother Anqing, hello!."”
Looking at the young little sister in front of him with two big braids, Mao Anqing's eyes were bright: "It's Sister Shao Hua, hello, hello!."With that, the two shook hands and greeted each other. When the city leaders and Zhang Wenqiu saw this, their eyebrows fluttered, so they arranged for the two young people to stay alone to chat, while they went to other rooms to taste tea.
Unexpectedly, these two young people hit it off at first sight, and they laughed constantly. The city leader sighed: "It's been a long time since I've seen Anqing so happy. When Zhang Wenqiu put forward his views, the city leaders expressed their support, and everyone was eager to help solve this long-term knot.
Since then, Shao Hua and Mao Anqing's relationship has become deeper and deeper. In order to accompany Mao Anqing more, Shao Hua did not hesitate to transfer from the Chinese Department of Peking University to the local Liaoning Normal Chinese Department to study Xi.
On the eve of "May Day" in 1960, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua held a simple and solemn wedding at the Luda Hotel, which was presided over by Guo Shushen, the first secretary of the Luda Municipal Party Committee.
**In order not to cause trouble to the local comrades, he did not attend in person, but the trustee brought gifts to his son and daughter-in-law: a radio and a watch.
Because of his love for photography, Shao Hua transformed a small warehouse of the general's house into a dark room. Subsequently, she photographed many precious *** Despite the age, General Shao Hua's enthusiasm has not diminished, and even in an aerial photography, she directly opened the *** hatch and leaned out to shoot, which made the entourage startled.
Although she is 15 years younger than Mao Anqing, Shao Hua is like a big sister and cares about Mao Anqing. In order to make Mao Anqing more active, Shao Hua often dragged him out to go shopping and breathe fresh air. Before leaving, she would help Mao Anqing sort out her clothes and carry her belongings and towels to wipe her sweat.
When the weather is cool, Mao Anqing will hug his wife. At that time, the social atmosphere was relatively conservative, so Shao Hua may have felt a little shy. Whenever this happens, Mao Anqing will proudly say: "You are my wife, what are you afraid of!."”
In the spring of 1962, the couple returned to Beijing.
At the beginning of 1969, Shao Hua became pregnant, and often asked about her daughter-in-law and unborn grandson. In January 1970, Shao Hua was in labor, but the child was too big, resulting in dystocia, which made it very difficult for the doctors.
The hospital immediately reported to *** and asked, "Protect the adult, or protect the child?"* At the age of 77, he replied without hesitation when he learned of the situation: "Both must be protected!"”
At that time, *** was no longer the leader of the country, but an ordinary old man, who just hoped that his daughter-in-law and grandson would be safe.
This is the truly great leader, an ordinary person who is not a god.
With the joint efforts of the doctors, Mao Xinyu was born healthy on January 17, and Shao Hua was also safe and sound. **Finally ushered in the joy of being a grandfather. The grandson's name and nickname were taken by *** himself.
This can be regarded as a kind of compensation from God for the great sacrifice made by *** for the Chinese revolution.
Since then, Mao Anqing, Shao Hua and the newborn have formed a happy family of three.
Now, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua have passed away. However, Major General Mao Xinyu has grown into an outstanding officer of our army, contributing all his strength to the prosperity of the motherland in his own post.
The family style and spirit of the Mao family will be continued through him and continue to be carried forward.
This is the family of that great and ordinary founding leader.
