Liu Siqi's children participated***On the anniversary of his birth, he cried bitterly when he saw the portrait of the chairman
On December 22, 2018, Beijing Hunan Mansion held a unique meeting to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the birth of ***. In addition to the immediate family of the chairman, the descendants of the founding fathers such as the nephew, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhu, and the son of the marshal were also invited to participate.
One of the special guests was Liu Siqi, the former daughter-in-law of ***, as the wife of the martyr Mao Anying, she brought her children to attend the commemorative event.
Liu Siqi stared at the huge portrait of ***, tears sliding down his cheeks. She recalled that night more than 80 years ago, the party that was recognized as a "daughter" by ***.
It was a New Year's party at the end of 1937, and our party held it in the auditorium of the Yan'an Party School. When *** saw a drama called "Outcast", he burst into tears.
This drama tells the story of a revolutionary couple whose daughter lives on the streets after their sacrifice. Seeing this scene, the chairman may have remembered what happened to his sons after his wife Yang Kaihui died, and he felt something, so after the play, he asked to meet the little actor who played this role.
When *** learned that the handsome and dashing young man in front of him was actually the orphan of his friend Liu Qianchu's martyr, his feelings were extremely complicated. Liu Qianchu, a top student of Yenching University born in Shandong in 1897, was not only the head of ***, but also joined the Communist Party in 1927 and married Zhang Wenqiu.
During their pre-wedding visit, the chairman was overjoyed to learn of their friendship and teased them to have more daughters so that their sons could be their sons-in-law.
In a word, Zhang Wenqiu's two daughters eventually became the chairman's daughters-in-law. Liu Qianchu** was imprisoned and killed, leaving behind an unborn child, Liu Songlin, nicknamed "Siqi".
Xiao Siqi was displaced with her mother, and finally met *** when she was 7 years old. The chairman recognized her as his goddaughter, and since then, Liu Siqi has called the chairman "Dad".
In 1941, Sheng Shicai's reactionary movement became public, and a large number of Communist Party members and their families were imprisoned. Twelve-year-old Liu Siqi and her mother also spent four years in prison.
And her stepfather, Chen Zhenya, was killed in an assassination attempt. After numerous negotiations, on April 4, 1946, the Kuomintang authorities agreed to release the men. Liu Siqi also returned to Yan'an on July 11, when she was only 16 years old, and Mao Anying also happened to return to China from the Soviet Union, and the two young men met at this time.
At that time, Liu Siqi often went to the cave to play, and became good friends with the chairman's youngest daughter Li Ne, and she met Mao Anying more and more often.
At that time, Liu Siqi just regarded Mao Anying as his brother. Soon after, war broke out, and they were evacuated from Yan'an until they met again two years later in Xibaipo.
Maybe it's because of fate, or maybe it's because of similar experiences, the hearts of the two young people are getting closer and closer, and the elders around them see this situation, so they match them, and get the chairman's approval, and they finally determine the relationship.
When Mao Anying and Liu Siqi were about to get married, they were opposed by Chairman ***. The chairman believed that the war situation at that time did not allow his son to get married at this time, and in addition, Liu Siqi was still young, and the chairman was worried that this would affect her studies.
However, the power of love eventually prevails over all. It wasn't until two weeks after the founding of New China that they held a simple wedding and opened a new chapter in their lives together.
The love story of Liu Siqi and Mao Anying has also been rumored to be a good story because of this. However, their married life was fraught with challenges. The conflict on the Korean Peninsula has intensified, and the flames of war have reached the Yalu River in our country.
In order to maintain the stability of the new regime, the CCP decided to send troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea to defend the country. Mao Anying joined the volunteer army without hesitation, and when Liu Siqi visited her husband in the hospital before leaving, he told her that he was going to carry out a secret mission and needed to leave for a while.
Liu Siqi didn't know that this separation would be a day of never goodbye. Mao Anying entered the Korean Peninsula as a Russian translator and confidential secretary of the command.
His heroic performance won precious time for the founding of New China. However, his life stayed forever in the land he loved. Despite this, Liu Siqi still insists on living, remembering and loving her husband in her own way.
The love story of Liu Siqi and Mao Anying, although full of tragedy, also shows the greatness and tenacity of love. Their story tells us that love can overcome all difficulties and can also endure the greatest pain.
Their stories will always be etched in our hearts.
The news of Mao Anying's sacrifice was only known to the chairman after the war situation stabilized, although he felt extremely sad, but he also hoped that his daughter-in-law Liu Siqi could face it strongly. Although Liu Siqi had some premonitions before Mao Anying's death, when she saw him wearing a volunteer uniform, her heart was still full of fear.
In order to cheer her up, the chairman decided to send her to study in the Soviet Union, hoping to make her forget about her pain for a while. Although Liu Siqi's heart was full of reluctance, she also understood the chairman's painstaking efforts, so she decided to accept this arrangement, hoping to come out of the shadow of losing her lover as soon as possible.
After Mao Anying's death, Liu Siqi returned to China after completing her studies, and the chairman has always supported her to find a new life partner, but she has never accepted it. In 1959, Liu Siqi made a special request to the chairman, hoping to go to North Korea in a private capacity to pay tribute to her lover.
The Chair had thought twice and had agreed to her request. Liu Siqi and his sister Shao Hua went to North Korea for the first time, standing in front of their lover's grave, Liu Siqi's heartache was indescribable, and he poured out his thoughts about him over and over again.
Two years later, the chairman arranged for Liu Siqi and Air Force instructor Yang Maozhi to get married. At this time, 12 years have passed since Mao Anying's sacrifice, and Liu Siqi is 32 years old.
In the correspondence between the chairman and Liu Siqi, the chairman kept calling her "daughter". In this marriage, the chairman personally copied his own lyrics "Fortune Operator Yongmei", and used the 300 yuan manuscript fee saved as their wedding gift.
This is a deep love, and it is also a respect for the relationship between Liu Siqi and Mao Anying.
Liu Siqi's sister Shao Hua married the chairman's second son, Mao Anqing, making Liu Siqi's relationship with the chairman even closer. She always remembered her ex-husband and named her eldest son "Xiaoying".
In her later years, her son accompanied her to North Korea to commemorate her lover. Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi have four children, and at this meeting to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the birth of ***, not only Liu Siqi participated, but also her son Yang Jun, daughter Yang Dongmei and her two children.
Looking at the huge portrait of the chairman, Liu Siqi couldn't help but burst into tears, and her thoughts seemed to return to the cave where she first met *** and Mao Anying when she was in Yan'an.
