In her later years, in order to commemorate her parents, Mao Yuanzhi compiled their biographies and told about their feats. Even when she was seriously ill in 1990, she still remembered it and regretted that she could not finish it.
Her life was full of hardship, and she spent her childhood wandering and separated from her parents. In family affection, the first half of my life is looking forward to it, and the second half of my life is missing.
When Cao Quanfu was sorting out Mao Yuanzhi's relics, he found an old letter. The contents of the letter made him unable to calm down. Mao Yuanzhi's childhood was full of twists and turns, he participated in the revolution with his eldest brother ***, and he traveled all year round and rarely had time to go home.
His children and the family's livelihood were entrusted to his wife, Wang Shulan. Later, due to the failure of the Great Revolution and the turbulent situation, Wang Shulan and her daughter had to leave their hometown and come to Changsha to live with the help of their fellow villagers.
Mao Yuanzhi has been wandering with his mother since he was a child, living a life of exile. Due to the strict control everywhere, the mother and daughter had to beg to cover up in order to help the party organization pass on the message.
In such a difficult environment, her childhood passed quietly. In 1929, Wang Shulan was imprisoned in Changsha**, and Mao Yuanzhi, who was only six years old, also accompanied his mother through prison life.
After a year of hardship, Wang Shulan's mother and daughter were able to regain their freedom.
After gaining freedom, Mao Yuanzhi's mother still adhered to the revolutionary cause, and Mao Yuanzhi also wandered with his mother in different cities. Mao Yuanzhi's mother and son have never given up hope of finding their father Mao ** in their constant wandering, hoping to meet again.
Finally, in 1931, they learned that Mao ** was in Shanghai, so they immediately set off to find it. However, by the time they arrived in Shanghai, Mao had already gone to the Soviet district.
At this time, the situation in Shanghai was very serious, and when war broke out, they had to urgently evacuate Shanghai under the cover of their comrades.
When life is in trouble, I receive a letter from my long-lost father. The letter mentioned that his cousin Wang Shulan was going to Changsha at the end of the year to run errands, and hoped that Mao Yuanzhi would follow her to Yan'an to go to school.
After many twists and turns, they finally arrived in Yan'an in early 1938. After arriving in Yan'an, ** immediately brought Mao Yuanzhi to himself. He also received the cloud pieces brought by his mother, and when he saw all this, ** seemed very happy, and talked with Mao Yuanzhi, asking her about her life and her mother's situation over the years.
Mao Yuanzhi also answered the uncle slowly, and the conversation between the two was very pleasant, and he did not feel alienated because of the reunion after a long absence, but became closer.
Mao Yuanzhi, who has been running around with her mother since she was a child, has delivered news to the party organization, although she has not gone to school or received systematic education, but her diligence and studious attitude have been recognized by ***.
So, the chairman sent her to Yan'an Nursery Primary School for systematic study, hoping that she could make up for the homework she had missed in the past. Mao Yuanzhi is very serious in her studies in the nursery school, never slacking off, and her diligence and eagerness to learn also make the teachers very appreciative.
Before going to Yan'an, her mother warned her that after arriving in Yan'an, although her parents were not around, she should also learn to be independent and not always trouble the chairman. The chairman is a person who does great things, and he should be considerate of his difficulties and support himself.
Mao Yuanzhi kept in mind his mother's teachings, and after arriving in Yan'an, she rarely bothered the chairman, but studied and lived harder. She understands that only by working hard can she truly realize her own value and contribute to the party and the country.
Grandpa Mao is very fond of this little niece, and in his spare time, he will always call her to his side, talk cordially, and care about her study and life. Although he is full of love for his family, he is very strict with them.
When Mao Yuanzhi first arrived in Yan'an, he was not very comfortable with the eating habits of the north, and he had stomach problems, so he was more picky about food. At that time, small rice was the most common staple food in the north, but Mao Yuanzhi could not accept it.
**The comrades around her saw Mao Yuanzhi's predicament, took the initiative to take out a dollar, and suggested that she buy a bowl of porridge to drink every day to relieve stomach discomfort. **After learning about it, he asked Mao Yuanzhi with concern and told her: "But if you don't eat, you'll be hungry!" ”
After talking with ***, Mao Yuanzhi began to try to eat small rice and gradually adapt to the diet in the north. After arriving in Yan'an, Mao Yuanzhi has been thinking about his mother, knowing that his mother has a very difficult life in order to deliver the news of the party, and sometimes has to beg for food to make ends meet.
Therefore, Mao Yuanzhi asked his uncle to get some funding to help his mother.
Mao Yuanzhi once made a request to ***, but was not agreed. ** Emphasizing that as a relative, there can be no exceptions, and the regulations must be strictly followed. Mao Yuanzhi then listened to the uncle's suggestion and reported to the superiors.
After receiving the report, the leader immediately asked Mao Yuanzhi how much subsidy he needed, and Yuanzhi replied that he only needed 20 yuan, because she was not demanding, and the leader quickly agreed to her request and solved her mother's dilemma.
Mao Yuanzhi also lived in Yan'an with peace of mind.
Under the influence of the revolution, Mao Yuanzhi was full of enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause since he was a child. She was surrounded by revolutionaries whose words and actions deeply influenced her and made her understand the importance of being a good Communist Party member.
When Mao Yuanzhi grew up, her uncle also talked to her about his ideas and suggested that she join the anti-Japanese vanguard, but Mao Yuanzhi wanted to become a real Communist Party member.
**Seeing that she was a little dissatisfied with this, he patiently explained to her that although she was still young and could not directly join the Communist Party, joining the "Minxian" was also to work for the Communist Party, so that she could also make her own contribution to the revolutionary cause.
In the end, Mao Yuanzhi followed his uncle's advice and left Yan'an until she got married after work, but she always adhered to her revolutionary beliefs and fought for the party's cause all her life.
Mao Yuanzhi encountered difficulties on the way to work, but he was still stranded in Zhangjiakou with all his documents. After learning the news, ** was deeply worried, and specially asked the comrade who went to the office to bring a letter to his family along the way.
The letter also included a **, which was taken in Yan'an. **, Mao Anying and her little sister Li Ne hugged each other tightly, standing beside ***, and the family was full of happy smiles.
Seeing this **, Mao Yuanzhi knew that his younger brother Mao Anying, who went to Moscow to study, had returned to China, and his family had finally been reunited after many years of absence. This joy and happiness will undoubtedly make the uncle feel extremely happy.
Although Mao Anying and Mao Yuanzhi are the same year, Mao Yuanzhi is a few months older, so Mao Anying calls her sister. The sister-brother relationship between them is different and cannot be described in words.
Mao Anying's father ran away from home when he was very young, and his mother was also imprisoned because of the warlord's **, and finally died in prison. After the death of her mother, Mao Anying could only wander around, wandering in different cities, and living a life under the fence.
It was only when he grew up that he was able to study in the Soviet Union. Mao Anying's life was full of hardships and hardships.
The same goes for Mao Yuanzhi, whose father left home when he was a child, and he and his mother wandered around for safety. He was also imprisoned and worked as a child laborer, and his life was very difficult, until he was sent to Yan'an, and his life began to improve.
Due to their similar experiences, they are more closely related by blood than others. Mao Anying once told Mao Yuanzhi: We don't have a mother, you don't have a father, we all came out of suffering, our experiences are similar, and we can empathize, so our relationship is very close and we can talk together.
Mao Yuanzhi agrees with Mao Anying's views very much, so whenever Mao Anying encounters difficulties, he will always immediately lend a hand. In 1948, Mao Yuanzhi heard that his son, who was far away from his hometown, was seriously ill, and he was so anxious that he immediately rode to his hometown.
When passing through Xibaipo, Mao Anying was at work, but because he was in a hurry to save his son, Mao Yuanzhi had no time to greet his younger brother. Seeing her sister's anxious appearance, Mao Anying had a premonition that something was not good, and immediately rode a horse to catch up.
When the sister and brother hadn't seen each other for many years and got together in a hurry in an anxious situation, Mao Anying heard that something was wrong with the child, and immediately urged her sister to go back quickly, and asked her to write a letter to contact her if she had something, and then left in a hurry.
When Mao Yuanzhi returned home, he found that his son was suffering from dysentery and was weak, but it was difficult to find medicine in the countryside. At this moment, Mao Yuanzhi remembered Mao Anying who was in a hurry.
She did not hesitate to send a letter inviting him to come and help. After Mao Anying received the invitation, she immediately rushed to take the child to Xibaipo Hospital**. With the efforts of the medical staff, the child was finally out of danger.
During her hospitalization, Mao Anying often visited the hospital and sometimes chatted with her sister. However, the good times were always short-lived, and because of work, they parted ways.
The two siblings were separated after a brief reunion.
At the end of 1949, Mao Anying entrusted ** to bring a letter to her sister, which was also the last correspondence between them. The letter roughly wrote: The New Year is approaching, the family is reunited, and I hope you will be with you.
I wish you and your brother-in-law good health, a happy mood, and a good time together. Mao Yuanzhi received this letter in the new year, and his heart was full of joy and a warm current.
Even though they are thousands of miles away, they still feel the care of their loved ones.
Mao Anying was buried on the Korean battlefield, Mao Yuanzhi treasured a letter, and the years left traces on the envelope. When Cao Quanfu saw the content of the letter, tears couldn't help but fall, a letter full of homesickness, failed to meet expectations, and now things have changed, and relatives have passed away.
Mao Yuanzhi has been cared for and taught by *** in the process of growing up, studying hard and working actively. Although *** has played the role of a father in her life, she has always missed her biological father deep down.
Mao Yuanzhi's opportunities to meet his father were extremely limited, and it was not until she was twenty-two years old that she learned that his father had died.
Mao Yuanzhi already has a boyfriend named Cao Quanfu, and they met in Yan'an. For her, Uncle is the person closest to her, and she believes that Uncle has a vital influence on her life's events.
After the relationship was confirmed, Mao Yuanzhi brought Cao Quanfu to ***, hoping that *** could help her get an idea. After meeting Cao Quanfu, **, like other parents, asked him about his family background and work situation in detail.
Cao Quanfu came from an ordinary family in Shandong, joined the revolution when he was young, studied at Kang University and was promoted to staff officer. **After learning about his basic situation, the chairman invited him to dine with him and personally served him meat.
Mao Yuanzhi saw this scene, and he knew that his father had agreed to him dating Cao Quanfu and recognized him as his boyfriend. Mao Yuanzhi learned the news of his father Mao ** in a small talk, and a former subordinate of his father mentioned that there had been no news of Mao ** for a long time, and he didn't know where he was, and he missed him very much.
In the face of his brother's sacrifice, ** chose to remain silent, knowing full well that the child was too young to withstand such a blow. Now that the child has grown up, he has the right to know the truth about his father's death.
After Mao Yuanzhi heard the news, he couldn't react, he had been looking forward to the reunion with his father in Yan'an, however, after waiting for so many years, what he was waiting for was the news of his father's sacrifice.
Mao Yuanzhi couldn't control his emotions, and he ran out of the house, trying to digest the heart-wrenching news. After venting for a while, he gradually calmed down, returned to the house, and said to ***: "Uncle, I have grown up, I will be strong." ”
Mao Yuanzhi grew up under the care and guidance of her uncle, she quickly adjusted her mentality, devoted herself to her work, and inherited her father's unfinished business. Later, ** issued a call for the construction of the Northeast, and Mao Yuanzhi and her husband responded positively and decided to go to the Northeast to work.
After deciding to leave, she approached the chair to say goodbye. When the chairman learned that his niece was going to a distant place, he was full of reluctance, but he also knew that the child would always have to be independent when he grew up, and he could not always stay by his side.
The chairman held his niece's hand tightly when he said goodbye, full of reluctance, and told her like a loving father: "We must pay attention to our health, unite the masses in our work, serve the people, and don't engage in special activities." ”
Watch the couple walk away until they disappear from sight, then slowly turn away. Mao Yuanzhi's mood has been very low, because he has just learned of his father's death, and he will be separated from his uncle, and he will be separated for the rest of his life, and he doesn't know when he will see each other again.
Shortly after the couple left, they received a letter from *** stating that their marriage required the consent of their elders. In their haste to leave, they forgot to mention it, so they wrote to them to tell them that, as elders, they had agreed to their marriage and wished them a safe journey and a bright future.
The love story between Mao Yuanzhi and his wife is full of legends. After getting the approval of ***, they immediately went through the marriage formalities in accordance with the procedure. For this letter, they cherish it very much and keep it carefully.
However, due to the strict inspection on the road at that time, in order to protect the letter, they could only fold the name of *** in the letter. Mao Yuanzhi honorably retired from work in 1982, ending his life's struggle.
After retiring, he began to collect information, organize information, and write biographies of his relatives. He has worked diligently all his life without a single mistake. He has always kept in mind his uncle's teachings and kept a low profile.
Even after *** died, he went to pay his respects every year, rain or shine.
When we missed my uncle, we often went to the memorial hall, and each time we came quietly and walked quietly, never leaving our names in the autograph book. It wasn't until 1990 that Mao Yuanzhi ended his hard struggle against illness and left us forever.
How do we feel about this woman who is indifferent to fame and fortune and whose life is full of hardships?
