In 1990, the Security Bureau of the General Office of the People's Republic of China comprehensively cleaned up the relics of the chairman and prepared to send them to the memorial hall of the chairman of Shaoshan, Hunan Province. In this cleanup, there was an unexpected discovery.
In one corner of the warehouse, a small, dusty and dusty cabinet was found. When I opened it, there were no valuables in the small cabinet, only some old clothes: an old towel, an old pair of socks, an old military hat and two old shirts.
These clothes were neatly folded, but they were not worn by the chairman during his lifetime. In an instant, everyone at the scene cried. Someone shouted: "Chairman, you have been hiding these clothes for 26 years, and you have been hiding them from us for 26 years!"
Why are you doing this? "In the 26 years from Mao Anying's sacrifice to the death of Chairman ***, Chairman ** changed several places of residence, and every time he moved, the staff helped transport items, but no one saw Mao Anying's clothes.
How did the chairman hide his son's clothes from everyone, and in countless dead of nights, whether the chairman who was used to working at night took out these clothes and folded them, and whether these clothes were soaked in the tears of an old father, we will never know.
Mao Anying's clothes are a custom in rural China to be burned, but *** quietly left his son's clothes. When Mao Anying died on the Korean battlefield, ** 5 relatives had died, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, which was a huge blow to him.
Some people think that if *** doesn't send Mao Anying to North Korea, he won't be sacrificed. However, he believes that he is the chairman of the country, advocating resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and defending the country.
He believes that if this decision had not been taken at the time, there might have been a different outcome, but it was also possible.
Zhou Shizhao***'s arrangement of his son Mao Anying is not a special treatment, but to cultivate his leadership ability and fighting spirit. Zhou Shizhao and Mao Anying are the biological sons of ***, but he still sent his sons to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country in difficult times.
** Believe that young people should be trained and grow in a difficult environment, rather than hiding in a safe place. At the same time, Mao Anying never officially went to the battlefield, which is one of the reasons why he was sent to North Korea.
Although he was with Mao Anying for a short time, his broad-mindedness and love for his son deeply affected his life.
**The chairman's longing for his son Mao Anying is reflected in the earliest letters. At the end of 1945, after Mao Anying returned to China, he was greeted at the airport with illness.
Although Mao Anying was only 5 years old when the father and son separated, he is already a 23-year-old outstanding young man when they meet again. Mao Anying was fluent in Russian and English, and studied at the Suya Non-commissioned Officer School, the Lenin Military and Political School in Moscow, and the Frunze Military Academy, and even followed the Soviet army all the way to Berlin, where she finally received the rank of lieutenant.
** was very happy about this, and patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Anying, you have grown so tall." However, he did not let his son hold an important position, and he believed that the best way to experience it was to go to the broad masses of the people and work and study with them.
Therefore, in the spring of 1946, Mao Anying reported to his father on his work and study after returning to China, listened very carefully, and nodded from time to time. When Mao Anying was about to end his debriefing, he was asked if he had read the book given to him, and said that although he had learned a lot in the Soviet Union, he had not attended China's "Labor University".
Therefore, it was decided to arrange for Mao Anying to go to the countryside to participate in labor and worship the peasants as teachers in order to gain more in-depth study and experience.
Mao Anying was keen to go deep into the grassroots, and he followed Wu Manyou, a special model worker, to work in the Wujia Zaoyuan and eat and live with them. Despite the challenges of the newly opened wasteland, Mao Anying never flinched, he worked hard to learn various labor skills, never digging back and forth, only digging upwards, like a charge, moving forward with all his strength.
He humbly asked Wu Manyou for advice, practiced repeatedly, and finally mastered the trick, which saved effort and work. Half a year after Wu Manyou's family participated in labor, Mao Anying returned to his father, his ** was dark, his hands were full of calluses, ** was very satisfied with this, his son really participated in the labor.
After graduating from the "Labor University", Mao Anying began his political career, and he joined the Communist Party of China and became an excellent revolutionary.
Mao Anying had his own ideas, he believed that New China had just been founded, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, so he repeatedly asked to work at the grassroots level. ** agreed, and the organization arranged for Mao Anying to come to Beijing Machinery Factory to work as the deputy secretary of the party branch.
At that time, only a few senior leaders in the factory knew Mao Anying's identity, and Mao Anying was reluctant to sit in the office, so she stayed in the workshop every day and mingled with the workers.
Judging from Mao Anying's work experience from returning to China to the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** was very strict with him, and Mao Anying did not make a special move because his father was ***, which also laid the groundwork for him to sign up for the Volunteer Army.
On June 25, 1950, the Korean War broke out, and the "United **" led by the United States soon intervened, and the flames of war soon burned to the Yalu River in China.
After the landing of the US army at Incheon, the Korean People's Army was attacked by the enemy, and Kim Il Sung asked for help, hoping that China would send troops immediately. However, sending troops to North Korea will affect the whole body, not to mention that New China has just been founded, and the people of the whole country are eager for a peaceful life, and the voice of internal opposition to sending troops is also very loud.
In the days when there was a meeting to study whether to send troops, ** couldn't sleep at night, all of which was seen by Mao Anying. In order to support his father's insistence on sending troops to North Korea, Mao Anying decided to express his attitude with practical actions.
One night in early October, Mao Anying came to Zhongnanhai to report to his father on the work of the past week, and at the same time said that he hoped to lead by example and take the lead in joining the army and serving the country.
**Seeing that his son's work clothes were stained with oil, I felt both distressed and proud. He's really putting his heart and soul into his work, and that's what he didn't disappoint.
On October 5th, ** decided to send troops into the DPRK and let *** take command of the expedition. After learning of this news, Mao Anying immediately submitted a petition to the organization, asking to go to Korea to participate in the war.
Although the organization did not approve it, he was very moved by the fact that this petition was sent to the desk. He sent a secretary to inform Mao Anying and asked him to come to the Juxiang Book House in two days, and then he would know whether he had approved his request for a war letter.
On the evening of October 7th, ** invited *** Mao Anying to accompany him in the form of a family banquet. According to the recollection of Yang Fengan, the military secretary, it was at this family banquet that Mao Anying was approved to go to the Korean battlefield.
Although *** refused at first, he reluctantly agreed under the persuasion of ***. He believes that Mao Anying's participation in economic construction in China is also to resist US aggression and aid Korea, but he thinks that Mao Anying can speak English and Russian and can be competent in translation work.
As a result, Mao Anying was approved to go to the Korean battlefield and work as a translator.
** Decided to let Mao Anying go to the Korean battlefield, he praised him many times as the first volunteer of the Volunteer Army. Before leaving, ** warned him that communists usually endure hardships first, and sacrifice in wartime, as a communist and the son of ***, he should be even more so.
Mao Anying nodded firmly, but the news of his sacrifice shocked everyone. In the air raid on Dayudong on November 25, 1950, Mao Anying died bravely at the age of 28.
However, in order not to disturb *** to concentrate on directing the second campaign and **cold, this news was not told to him for the time being. It was not until January 2, 1951 that ** learned of the bad news, and after reading the telegram, his face turned pale and showed an expression of great grief.
Mao Anying, the most beloved son, died heroically in the Korean War. Although he was extremely sad, he hid his grief deeply in his heart and behaved calmly and firmly.
He said that there will always be a war **, Mao Anying's sacrifice is glorious, and he should not make a big deal of it because he is his son. **Refusing to transport Mao Anying's body back to China, he said that if the Communists died in **, they should be buried in **.
Although Mao Anying has left us, his spirit lives on, and he will always live in our hearts.
Mao Anying's cemetery is rarely known, but *** quietly treasured his son's only remaining clothes, when he was leaving the capital to recuperate for more than 2 months. This is the great leader *** who has been for the people all his life, interpreted"Do your best, and then die"spirit.
He wanted his son to train in a tough environment and grow up through fighting.
