was seriously ill and instructed Li Min to do things, and the past was sealed.
In July 1976, ***, who was not in good health, was lying on the hospital bed, and he said to his daughter Li Min, who was accompanying him: "My physical condition is not good, and there are some things you need to help me deal with." ”
However, Li Min interrupted him. "Father, you need to rest well and think about work later. As she spoke, the corners of Li Min's eyes moistened, she knew that her father was a workaholic, and she spent most of her time working hard in front of the bookcase.
As the king of a country, ** has a lot of responsibility, so he has to spend it in a busy time. When he says, "There's something you need to do for me," people naturally assume that he has a new job to do.
However, ** shook his head gently, his physical condition was not good, and the only thing he was worried about was someone. This person is his relative, living in his hometown of Shaoshan, and his health is worrying and his life is difficult.
Although his daughter Li Min knows about his existence, she doesn't know much about him. However, when *** asked her to visit him, Li Min agreed without hesitation.
Where is this uncle sacred, so can *** be so concerned? Two months later, ** passed away, can Li Min finally fulfill this last wish for his father?
Let's find out the answer to this story.
The Shaoshan Mao family is huge, passed down to the first generation, and there are dozens of children of the same generation. Among these children, ** ranked third, and was affectionately called "third brother" by the younger children.
**When I was seventeen or eighteen years old, my father brought back a five or six-year-old girl from his brother's house, with the name Jumei and the big name Mao Daxiang. **I know that there is an extra sister, which is inherited by my father, but I am not satisfied with my sister's name, because the male members in the clan have the word "Ze" in their names, which proves their generation, but my sister's name is not.
The father explained that because his sister was a girl, he could not use the characters in the family tree. ** Deeply dissatisfied with this, believing that the order of male superiority and inferiority of women has been ingrained in the hearts of the older generation, and they have become old stubborn.
So, under pressure, the young *** gave his sister a resounding name: Mao Zejian.
The name Mao Zejian was the first to shout, and the second to shout was Mao Zelian. Because Mao Zelian is Mao Zejian's younger brother. When Mao Zejian was passed on to Mao Yichang, ** often followed behind Mao Zejian, calling "third brother" one by one.
However, the age difference between the two brothers is more than ten years, and *** is a hot-blooded young man with lofty ideals, which is destined that they cannot always be with each other. **After being admitted to Hunan No. 1 Normal School, he embarked on the road of leaving his hometown to study.
Looking at his cousin's back as he drifted away, Mao Zelian, who was only seven or eight years old, looked at a loss. However, at a young age, he didn't know how to keep it, so he could only silently watch this closest person leave his world temporarily.
In 1925, ** returned to his hometown in Shaoshan and shouldered an important task: to develop revolutionary forces. Reunited with the third brother who had been absent for a long time, Mao Zelian's joy was beyond words, and he hugged him tightly.
At this time, the words of ** made Mao Zelian remember it vividly. "Do you want to join the revolution? Regarding this question, Mao Ze agreed without even thinking about it.
The great revolutionary cause needs to be pursued together. Although he did not really understand the meaning of the revolution, he firmly believed that it was right to follow the third brother. So, he acted as the correspondent of ***, although the conditions were difficult, there was no **, telegraph, and he could only rely on two legs to transmit news.
He spent his days running on rugged mountain roads to the surrounding villages. At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries were doing everything possible to catch the name of *** was very valuable to them, because he was one of the founders and leaders of the CCP, and if he was caught, he could be exchanged for a bounty of 10,000 silver dollars.
In order not to startle the snake, they sent two soldiers in disguise to spy on the terrain in the old mansion of ***. Mao Zelian, who was on guard, discovered them and knew that someone must have come to arrest the third brother, so he hurriedly made a noise to arouse the vigilance of ***.
It is precisely because of his boldness and carefulness that *** escaped the capture of the enemy. Half a year later, ** left Shaoshan and soon led the famous Autumn Harvest Uprising, establishing a rural revolutionary base in Jinggangshan.
When Mao Zelian heard the news, he was extremely excited, and he was eager to catch up with the third brother and become a real hero.
In 1929, Mao Zelian joined the peasant revolutionary movement and joined the Communist Party. However, while on duty, he was unfortunately pursued by the reactionaries and left him disabled for life. In the spring of 1930, the dark clouds of revolution loomed over his hometown in Shaoshan.
The peasant meeting was going on in great heat to discuss how to fight the Kuomintang reactionaries. Suddenly, someone broke in in a panic and told everyone that Mao Ze was gone. Everyone suddenly became nervous, threw down the tools in their hands and followed.
They prepared for the worst: if they couldn't find Mao Zelian, they would go to the county seat to fight with the security team. They climbed over the mountains, and burning torches lit up the night sky.
After several hours of searching, someone finally exclaimed, "Look, there's someone there!" Everyone rushed over, and sure enough, they found a figure lying in a deep ditch.
Under their painstaking search, Mao Zelian was finally found. However, he was already unconscious, and his body was covered in blood. The next morning, he finally woke up, but everything in front of him was blurry.
It turned out that he had been sent to inform the peasant representatives of other villages for a meeting last night, but he was interrogated by the county security team on the way. In order to protect the location of the peasant association, he struggled to escape, but because the light was too dim, he accidentally fell into the ravine and was stabbed in the left eye by a branch.
His family persuaded him to go to the county seat, but he knew that he would definitely be interrogated by the security team again when he entered the city, and the revolutionary situation was tense.
However, his eyes were left with a lifelong disability due to too long delays, and he completely lost his vision. In October 1949, Mao Zelian finally met his third brother *** again in Beijing, the capital of New China
Their tears flowed uncontrollably, and they uttered the most sincere words: "You have suffered all these years. ”
Mao Zelian's cousin understood right and wrong from an early age, and resolutely joined the Communist Party for the sake of the revolutionary cause. However, his dazzled left eye made *** feel distressed.
Accompanied by Mao Anying, they came to the best *** in Beijing Mao Zelian was hesitant at first, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, but the chairman was well aware of his worries and insisted that he would pay for his medical expenses.
Hearing the news, Mao Zelian finally relieved himself and went to the hospital to receive ** the next day. However, the doctor's diagnosis left him frustrated, and his left eye was unable to regain vision due to the lack of time.
In this regard, the chairman was deeply saddened and decided to take out 200 yuan from his manuscript fee as a subsidy every year to ensure that Mao Zelian's family would have no worries about their lives. At that time, $200 was a huge amount of money, enough to support the family's living expenses for a year.
In 1954 and 1956, he invited Mao Zelian to Beijing twice, and Mao Zelian was warmly welcomed. **After his death, Li Min came to Shaoshan with her husband Kong Linghua in July 1977 in order to fulfill her father's last wish.
When Li Min saw the swarthy ninth uncle Mao Zelian, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart. "Ninth Father, I came to visit you instead of my father. For the homeland of Shaoshan and the elders who live here, Li Min is full of guilt.
Because in 1966, she went to Changsha, Hunan Province to study, and had the opportunity to come to Shaoshan to visit her elders, but due to the tight time and the schedule was full, she dispelled this idea.
However, when she returned to Beijing, ** learned about this and looked displeased.
Li Min always remembered his father's advice: "When passing by Shaoshan, you must visit your uncle." Although the years have passed, the scenery of Shaoshan is still the same, but things are not people, the resolute and brave uncle has gray temples, and Li Min's father has passed away.
In order to make up for his regrets, Li Min took Mao Zelian to visit Dishui Cave, Shaoshan Reservoir and other places of interest during his stay in Shaoshan, and then as long as he had time, Li Min would go to Shaoshan to accompany the elderly Mao Zelian.
However, life is impermanent, and on September 29, 1995, Mao Zelian died of illness in Shaoshan Hospital at the age of 82.
