The eldest son, Mao Anying, died on the battlefield in Korea, and the second son, Mao Anqing, became the only son. Mao'an young people lost their mothers at a young age and lived on the streets.
In 1923, ** sent his wife Yang Kaihui and Mao Anqing to the Yang Mansion in Bancang, Changsha, and then devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, and did not see his son again until 20 years later.
In 1930, Yang Kaihui was discovered and killed by spies, and the three Mao Anqing brothers lived with their grandmother Xiang Zhenxi.
In order to avoid pursuit, Xiang Zhenxi took his three brothers to Shanghai, and after experiencing difficult disguises, settled down to study in Shanghai Datong Kindergarten, but the kindergarten was soon forced to disband.
Mao Anying and Mao Anqing were sent to Dong Jianwu's house for foster care, and they experienced a difficult life.
According to Mao Anying's recollection, the two brothers did all kinds of work, such as mopping floors for others or finding waste products in garbage cans, and did all kinds of dirty work.
Due to their young age, they did not have the strength to pull rickshaws, so they helped people push rickshaws at Waibaidu Bridge in Shanghai to earn some pocket money. However, during that time, they were bullied and beaten by the local military police and secret services.
When Mao Anqing learned of the death of his uncle Mao Zetan, he was so angry that he wrote the slogan "Down with imperialism", but he was beaten by foreign patrols, resulting in a head injury and mental stimulation, which affected his life.
Subsequently, the brothers went to study in the Soviet Union, but their father *** could not accompany them. Although they never met, ***'s concern for their children has never diminished.
When Mao Anqing was studying in the Soviet Union, he often asked someone to buy them books and asked if he had received them. **In the letter, it was also mentioned that they should read more history**, showing that they care about the children.
In 1946, Mao Anying completed his studies in the Soviet Union and returned to China, while Mao Anqing was still studying Xi in the Soviet Union. When Mao Anying embarked on the journey home, Mao Anqing felt reluctant and lonely in her heart.
In the loneliness of a foreign country, ** often sent him letters to comfort and encourage him to study Xi. Because Mao Anqing has lived in the Soviet Union for a long time, he can speak Russian fluently, but Chinese is not very good.
In order for him to read more smoothly, the letter will be translated into Russian and sent to him. Mao Anqing also realized that his Chinese needed to be improved, so he decided to study hard Xi.
**After marrying He Zizhen, He Zizhen took care of the Mao Anqing brothers in the Soviet Union for a period of time, giving them another kind of "mother" care.
In 1947, after Mao Anqing returned to China, he joined the ranks of our party after being introduced by Cai Chang and others, and participated in the pilot work of land reform in Keshan County, Heilongjiang.
Until July 1949, Mao Anying, as the Russian translator of the Marxist-Leninist Works Compilation Office of the Propaganda Department, published more than 10 Marxist-Leninist classics.
However, due to the head injury in Shanghai, Mao Anqing's head injury has not healed, and almost all the letters sent to *** are about headaches. Therefore, it was decided to send him to the USSR for acceptance.
Mao Anqing and Shao Hua have known each other since childhood, and Shao Hua's sister is Mao Anying's wife. Although Mao Anqing and Shao Hua are more than ten years apart in age, after Mao Anqing returned from the Soviet Union, the two hit it off at first sight and began to exchange letters frequently.
Their relationship is getting deeper and deeper, and they finally enter the palace of marriage, which makes *** feel gratified.
After marriage, their life is very happy, on weekends, Mao Anqing will always cook some of her favorite dishes for his wife, and often walk together in the evening, arm in arm, and occasionally share a coat, which is very interesting.
In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Mao Anying went to the Korean battlefield as a volunteer and unfortunately died. This bad news once again hit Mao Anqing's spirit hard and made him fall ill.
The loss of his mother when he was young, and now the loss of his brother who depended on him for his life is a fatal blow to Mao Anqing, who has experienced mental trauma.
After not getting better in Beijing, Mao Anqing went to the Soviet Union to accept. Under the careful guidance of ***, Mao Anqing gradually walked out of the shadow of the death of his relatives.
Mao Anqing's marriage gave him spiritual comfort, and he also told him: "You should go and see your mother and tell her the good news."
Mao Anqing had this idea for a long time, but due to his unstable condition, until 1962, Mao Anqing, accompanied by Shao Hua, came to Changsha Bancang.
Mao Anqing came to her mother's grave many years later, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart, as if she had returned to the quiet time of her childhood, when she was accompanied by her mother and brother.
However, now that my brother and mother have passed away, my father and lover are still with me. He wanted to confide in his mother, but he couldn't speak, so he could only silently pray for his sleeping mother and tell about his happiness.
When he tried to bow down to his mother, he was stopped by his wife, so they bowed three times to his mother's grave in silence.
In today's era of abolishing the kneeling ceremony and resisting feudal ideas, Yang Kaihui, the mother of a revolutionary soldier, may prefer to see her son's bow rather than bow.
Mao Anqing has a deep affection for his mother Yang Kaihui, and he expressed his hope to be buried next to his mother before he came to the end of his life. According to his last wishes, Shao Hua buried him next to Yang Kaihui's tomb, another form of companionship.
Until 2007, Mao Anqing also said goodbye to life.
