Nian *** saw Mao Wancai by name, and the child was sick and couldn't go
One day in 1958, ** came to Fushun for inspection. He especially named someone he wanted to meet, and that was Mao Wancai. However, due to the secrecy of his work, Mao Wancai's relevant comrades could only tell him to let him go to the office the next day.
Mao Wancai was going to set off with his wife Pang Shuyi, but unfortunately, his child suddenly fell ill. Despite his regrets, Mao Wancai still made a decision: "The child is sick and can't go." ”
Two days later, Mao Wancai and his wife found out that *** wanted to see them, but they politely refused because the child was sick. If they had known that this was the case, they would have to meet *** even if there was a big emergency.
Now, they regret it so much that they cry out in pain. Who is Mao Wancai? Why did *** specifically name him? I think everyone has heard that ** is the third cousin, and his name is "Shi Sanzi".
Among the ten brothers of the Mao family, some sacrificed their lives for China's revolutionary cause, and some made outstanding contributions to the construction of New China. However, there is one of them that everyone may not know much about, he is Mao Zeqing, the tenth brother of ***.
Mao Zeqing has had a lot of respect for *** since he was a child, and he hopes that he can also embark on the revolutionary road like *** and fight the world for the poor. Therefore, he went to Yan'an.
Whether it was in the difficult years of the Anti-Japanese War, or after the founding of New China, he devoted himself to the construction of Northeast China, he always kept in mind the teachings of the first country, did not reveal his identity, and did not engage in privileges.
In order to better integrate into society, he successively changed his name to "Mao Yuncai" and "Mao Wancai", and lived a low-key life silently.
In order to get better living conditions for their children, the parents of the Mao family let Mao Zeqing and Pang Shuyi marry through marriage. Although Mao Zeqing is seven years older than Pang Shuyi, he loves Pang Shuyi very much, and Pang Shuyi lives very happily in the life of the Mao family, and she even jokes that she married the Mao family, but married happiness.
In 1937, the Japanese puppet authorities issued a nationwide wanted warrant, targeting the Communist Party leader *** Mao Zeqing, who was only 21 years old at the time, and naturally became the target of the search because of his special status.
In order to avoid pursuit, Mao Zeqing began a long life in exile and had no fixed place to live. He is tall and full of admiration for *** since he was a child, so he decided to follow in the footsteps of his third brother and join the revolutionary team.
In order not to worry his family, Mao Zeqing hid his plans from them, and before leaving, he comforted his wife Pang Shuyi and said: "I have to go out to do business, I don't know when I will come back, you have to take care of yourself at home." ”
However, there is no news of this farewell, and the burden of the whole family's life is on Pang Shuyi alone. Despite the increased pressure, she persevered, and with diligence and sincerity, she took good care of her parents-in-law and silently waited for her husband's return.
Mao Anqing went through hardships, trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived in Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, and reunited with the third brother who had been admired for a long time. ** I was delighted with the defection of my tenth brother to the revolution, asked about the situation of the old people in Shaoshan, and reminded Anqing not to pursue promotion and fortune, but to fight for the poor.
After studying, Anqing mastered the skills of finance and accounting, and worked in the Yan'an People's Liberation Army Printing Factory. ** He also introduced Anqing to join the Communist Party of China. During the difficult economic period in the border area, ** sent Anqing to Xi'an to do business in exchange for supplies, and Anqing changed his name to "Mao Yuncai" in order to avoid the attention of the enemy.
After the liberation, Mao Zeqing sent the news to his hometown, and his wife Pang Shuyi learned that her husband had already participated in the revolution and served as a deputy company cadre of the logistics department.
Mao Zeqing followed Pang Shuyi back to Shaoshan, and his heart was full of excitement when he saw the joy of the poor peasants getting the land. He said to Pang Shuyi: "I have been following the revolution for 12 years, and I am looking forward to this day." ”
Mao Zeqing brought Pang Shuyi to the army, and according to the regulations, company-level cadres can bring their families to accompany the army. Since then, Pang Shuyi has been by Mao Zeqing's side, no matter how they go, they have never revealed their relationship with *** to outsiders.
Pang Shuyi reminded Mao Zeqing all the time: "* I have said a long time ago, don't think about being promoted and getting rich." And Mao Zeqing replied firmly: "I must not discredit the third brother." ”
In 1954, Mao Zeqing transferred to Fuxin, Liaoning, and a cadre suggested that he change back to his original name, because this name would cause people to associate with their relationship with ***.
Mao Zeqing was hesitating, and Pang Shuyi said: "Yuncai, this name can't be changed." We're just trying to make people unaware of our relationship with ***. After hearing this, Mao Zeqing nodded in agreement.
While working at the Fuxin Power Plant, he changed his name - Mao Wancai.
Mao Anqing, the eldest son of ** and Yang Kaihui, wrote letters to *** many times during his work in the Northeast to report the situation at home and in the locality. **After receiving the letter, he wrote back to warn him to work hard and study hard.
Mao Anqing's biggest wish is to be able to go to Beijing once, chat with ***, and chat. This wish was finally fulfilled in November 1956.
Mao Anqing wrote a letter to *** to express this wish, and then received a notice from the Prime Minister's Office to let their family come to Beijing. Mao Anqing came to Beijing with his wife and three children, and one morning a few days later, he asked them to go to Zhongnanhai.
This is the first time Pang Shuyi has seen ***, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak for a while. ** Introduced Li Min, Li Ne and teenage Mao Yuanxin to Mao Anqing's family, and invited them to a meal, all of which were some very simple Hunan dishes.
After the meal, **offered to take a photo** as a souvenir. This ** has been treasured in Mao Anqing's house and has never been made public for more than 40 years. After returning to the Northeast, Pang Shuyi said: "Don't tell others what you see, lest others say that we are proud." ”
Mao Anqing agrees with his wife, believing that focusing on work is the first priority.
In August 1958, Chairman ** went to Fushun to inspect, hoping to meet Mao Zeqing. However, for the sake of confidentiality, they were not directly informed of the matter, but the relevant departments notified the husband and wife to go to the agency.
Mao Zeqing didn't think much about it and was ready to go, but just before leaving, his child fell ill. He then asked the relevant leaders, saying that he could not go. The leaders of the unit did not embarrass him anymore.
Two days later, Mao Zeqing learned that Chairman *** had arrived in Fushun and that he wanted to see him. He immediately regretted it, but at this time, Chairman *** had left, and he and Pang Shuyi were so anxious that they cried.
Mao Zeqing's family has five children, and the family is crammed into a small house, living in a very tight situation, and they all rely on his salary alone. Despite the hardships of life, he has never applied for relief from his employer, and Pang Shuyi understands this, she said: "Although our family is not well-off, we are already fine compared to those families who are more difficult."
When the children grow up, our days will gradually get better. ”
The stress of life caused Mao Zeqing to have a heart attack, and the doctor at the health center, who had a close personal relationship with him, suggested that he seek help from the organization, but Mao Zeqing politely declined, saying that the current difficulties are nothing compared to begging for food when he was a child.
Pang Shuyi firmly believes that without *** and the Communist Party, they would have starved to death a long time ago, so they can't bother the organization. The same is true for her children's education. In 1974, Mao Zeqing and Pang Shuyi wrote to the Prime Minister's Office, hoping to return to Shaoshan to visit relatives and visit Beijing ***
Soon they received a reply from the Prime Minister's Office asking them to come to Beijing. However, due to health reasons, the original plan had to be cancelled and they never met again.
After retiring, they went to the Xinfu District vegetable market to do voluntary labor and persisted for two years. In 1981, Mao Zeqing died, and Pang Shuyi insisted on such "excellent nature".
At that time, Pang Shuyi had no job, and her children's income was also very low, and her living security was insufficient. So, she contacted the neighborhood committee and cleaned the streets with a few old ladies, earning a reward of one yuan a day.
Pang Shuyi felt sorry for her children and persuaded them not to live a poor life anymore, but the children encouraged her, and now they can not only earn money from labor, but also exercise their bodies. Although life is not good, Pang Shuyi often warns the children that they must be like their father and never discredit *** at any time.
In 1993, Guo Feng, director of the Fushun Municipal Finance Bureau, saw an article written by Mao Zelian on the plane, which told that Mao Zeqing's family lived a poor life in Fushun, he couldn't believe it, so he began to inquire around, and two months later, he found the old man Pang Shuyi, and saw that her life was really as written in the newspaper, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Among Pang Shuyi's five children, except for the eldest daughter Mao Xiaoping, who works in government agencies and has a slightly better income, the rest have low incomes, and her two sons both work in the enterprise.
Guo Feng was ready to mobilize cadres to donate to them, but Pang Shuyi refused. At the end of 2000, the reporter of "Fuxin**" found Mao Zeqing's youngest son, and when he learned that the other party was a reporter, he said: "We are just ordinary people, living an ordinary life, and there is nothing to write about." ”
The reporter asked to see Pang Shuyi, but he walked away under the pretext of work.
1.When the reporter found Pang Shuyi's address through the police station, he was stunned by the scene in front of him - his home was surrounded by walls. However, Pang Shuyi seemed very satisfied, she said: "Compared with 1957, when I first came to Fushun, my life is much better now."
At that time, our family of eight was crammed into a small house, all supported by the salary of ** person, and now we have a two-bedroom apartment for only four people, which feels quite spacious. ”
2.When the reporter wanted to take a look at the photo of their family with *** in 1956, Pang Shuyi took it out of the drawer. The reporter asked why he didn't hang it on the wall, and Pang Shuyi replied: "This ** is never let outsiders see it."
We are just ordinary people, there is nothing to show off. ” 3.In 2001, 79-year-old Pang Shuyi returned to Shaoshan. In front of the former residence, she sometimes touched here and there, happy as a child.
She looked at every corner of the former residence, touched the scene, and remembered her life back then. She was surrounded by people who listened to her unchanging Hunan accent tell the story of the past in her former home.
