year, Mao Yuanzhi and Li Min came to see *** and said affectionately:Yuanzhi, I miss you.
I'm constantly working in Toutiao
Mao Yuanzhi is the biological daughter of the second brother Mao ** and the only niece of ***. **I have liked this niece very much since I was a child, and Mao Yuanzhi is also very close to my uncle***, but Mao Yuanzhi is unwilling to live under the aura of a great uncle, so he has always deliberately avoided the relationship with his uncle.
In 1963, ** turned seventy, which was a festive moment in his life, and he decided to pay out of his own pocket and throw a birthday party for everyone to get together to celebrate.
For his uncle's 70th birthday, Mao Yuanzhi attaches great importance to it, and he also misses his uncle very much. So, she made an appointment with Li Min to come and see *** together When *** saw her, she asked her niece why she didn't come to see him all the time, and he missed her very much.
However, Mao Yuanzhi's childhood was not happy.
Mao Yuanzhi was born in Shaoshan Chong in 1923, and her father Mao ** joined the revolution before she was born, running around, and the days of returning home were numbered. When Mao Yuanzhi was a child, his father only came home twice in total, and because he was too young to remember, he was not impressed by his father.
Mao Yuanzhi has a lively and cheerful personality, like a little boy, she often plays and frolicks with her cousin Mao Anying and cousin Mao Anqing, and has a very happy time. Uncle *** and aunt Yang Kaihui doted on her very much, and affectionately called her "wild girl".
At that time, Mao ** deeply felt the difficulties and dangers of the revolution in the revolutionary struggle, and he understood that the road of revolution was full of tests of blood and fire, and he could even face danger to his life at any time.
Under many difficulties and pressures, he made the difficult decision to divorce his wife in order to protect the family from being implicated. His prediction was validated, and the Hunan warlord Zhao Hengti began to suppress the Communists, targeting his family members.
In the process, his wife Wang Shulan understood his hardship, no longer resented his decision, but joined the party organization in 1926 and fought together.
However, after the defeat of the Great Revolution, Chiang Kai-shek began to brutally suppress the Communists, even their families. Wang Shulan was unlucky**, but she was eventually rescued. After being released from prison, she took her young son Mao Yuanzhi to join the party organization and went to Changsha to continue working for the party.
In 1929, her mother, Wang Shulan, was betrayed by traitors and imprisoned in Changsha with six-year-old Mao Yuanzhi. It was not until July 1930 that the Red Army captured Changsha led by Mr. Peng, and Mao Yuanzhi, his mother and fellow refugees escaped from prison.
In 1931, the mother and daughter came to Shanghai to find Mao Yuanzhi's father, however, the father had already left Shanghai and went to the Soviet area. At that time, Shanghai was in chaos, and in desperation, her mother Wang Shulan returned to Huarong with Mao Yuanzhi.
After many tosses, her mother's money ran out and it was difficult to find a job, so in order to survive, Wang Shulan had to tearfully let her daughter be a child daughter-in-law. Mao Yuanzhi finally came to Yan'an.
Although he has always been committed to the revolutionary cause, he has never forgotten his daughter Mao Yuanzhi. After much inquiry, he learned about his ex-wife and daughter. When he learned that his daughter was working as a child bride for someone else, his heart was very heavy.
So, he wrote a letter to the Wuhan office of the Eighth Route Army to report his daughter's situation, hoping to help find his daughter and send her to Yan'an. After unremitting efforts, the Wuhan Office of the Eighth Route Army finally found Wang Shulan's mother and daughter at the end of 1937.
After learning of ***'s idea, Wang Shulan was very willing to send her daughter to Yan'an. So, under the arrangement of the Wuhan Office of the Eighth Route Army, Mao Yuanzhi came to Yan'an in 1938 and realized the wish of reuniting father and daughter.
After Mao Yuanzhi arrived in Yan'an, he regretted to find that his father Mao ** had gone to Xinjiang to work and could not meet her. However, Uncle *** was very happy about Mao Yuanzhi's arrival, and he deliberately added two more dishes to entertain Mao Yuanzhi at dinner and wash the dust for her.
When the tall uncle appeared in front of Mao Yuanzhi with a smile on his face, her heart beat faster, both excited and a little nervous. Mao Yuanzhi looked at the uncle with big eyes, and thought to himself, does his father look similar to the uncle?
The uncle looked at her gently, and Mao Yuanzhi felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head slightly.
The uncle kindly asked her impression of Yan'an Road, and then asked her mother Wang Shulan about her current situation with concern. They then chatted about the past in her hometown and some interesting stories about her childhood.
In the pleasant conversation, Mao Yuanzhi gradually relaxed and began to speak freely. The two of them were talking energetically, and Mao Yuanzhi suddenly expressed to his uncle his desire to join the Eighth Route Army or go to study at Kang University.
**After hearing this, he laughed and praised: "Yuanzhi, ambitious, good!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down a few words, and then asked Mao Yuanzhi to read it.
However, Mao Yuanzhi couldn't pronounce a word.
** smiled and said: "You are now in the stage of learning cultural knowledge, only when you have a solid basic knowledge can you enter the Kang Da study, and then there will be many revolutionary tasks waiting for you young people to complete." ”
Under the patiently guidance of his uncle, Mao Yuanzhi realized that he needed to study hard. So, under the arrangement of Uncle ***, Mao Yuanzhi entered Lu Xun Primary School in Yan'an.
Mao Yuanzhi, who has experienced hardships in life, cherishes this hard-won learning opportunity very much, and she has made great efforts in learning. At the same time, she kept in mind her mother's instructions before coming to Yan'an: "Your uncle is a person who is busy with national affairs, very busy, after you arrive in Yan'an, you should try to disturb him as little as possible." ”
Therefore, Mao Yuanzhi is in Yan'an, and she will only go to see him if her uncle calls her, and try not to disturb him.
Mao Yuanzhi once suffered from headaches, and when she was sick, she happened to pass by Yangjialing, and she couldn't suppress her longing for her uncle, so she stopped by to visit. ** was very happy to see her niece and insisted that she stay overnight.
After a year of hard work, Mao Yuanzhi completed the primary school curriculum. Later, she was assigned to the Second Bureau of the Military Commission as a confidential secretary. By chance, she met and fell in love with Cao Quanfu, a military instructor at the Kang University branch.
Mao Yuanzhi's relationship with Cao Quanfu is getting deeper and deeper, and she is eagerly looking forward to the blessings of her father and uncle. However, she has been living in Yan'an for several years, but she has never been able to see her father, which makes people wonder why her father has not returned from Xinjiang after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Whenever she thought of her father, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, because she heard that his father might have died, but the news was not confirmed, and although she wanted to ask her uncle, she never had the courage to speak.
**After learning that Mao Yuanzhi had a boyfriend, he said that he must have the opportunity to meet Cao Quanfu.
Alas......He has sacrificed ......”
Mao Yuanzhi's tears rolled down like beads of broken threads, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground, and tears blurred her vision, and then began to flow continuously.
Seeing this scene, ** also felt extremely sad, he stood up, left his seat, and walked towards his office. Mao Yuanzhi's tears seemed to be a release at this moment, her emotions slowly eased, wiped away her tears, came to the uncle's office, and said to him: "Uncle, please rest assured, I will definitely be strong." ”
With the support of the uncle, Mao Yuanzhi and Cao Quanfu held a simple wedding. Later, accompanied by his uncle, Mao Yuanzhi went to celebrate his uncle's birthday.
In the spring of 1949, after leading the ** agency into Beiping, his work became busier. Mao Yuanzhi misses her uncle very much, but she is afraid of disturbing her uncle, so she tries to hold back her strong feelings of longing and not disturb him.
**When he was working in Xiangshan, Mao Yuanzhi only visited his uncle once. Later, when Li Min got married, Mao Yuanzhi came to attend the wedding and met his uncle, and the family got together at a lively wedding.
They haven't seen each other for a long time since then. December 26, 1963 was the uncle's 70th birthday, and Mao Yuanzhi remembered it very clearly. According to the tradition of the Chinese people, the elderly should celebrate when they reach this age, so they are used to celebrating their 70th birthday.
Thinking of these, Mao Yuanzhi could no longer suppress his longing for his uncle. Because her father has died, she has long regarded her uncle as her father.
She misses her uncle deeply and hopes to visit him often. However, Uncle's special status makes it impossible for her to be easily disturbed. It filled her heart with trouble.
However, the uncle is about to celebrate his 70th birthday, and she is determined to visit him no matter what. So, she hurriedly contacted Li Min and decided to go with her to celebrate her uncle's birthday and visit him.
On his 70th birthday, he wanted to bring everyone together to celebrate this special day, so he paid out of his own pocket to prepare this birthday party. When he heard that his niece Mao Yuanzhi was also going to celebrate his birthday, he was as happy as a child.
On Mao Yuanzhi's birthday, she and Li Min came to ***'s residence together. Seeing Mao Yuanzhi, ** got up from the sofa excitedly and walked towards his niece.
When Mao Yuanzhi saw this scene, he quickly called his uncle, trotted a few steps, and helped him to sit down on the sofa. **Holding Mao Yuanzhi's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.
He patted the back of Mao Yuanzhi's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yuanzhi, why did you come to see me, I miss you!" Listening to the uncle's words, Mao Yuanzhi's eyes moistened, and she felt very sad.
How could she not want to be an uncle? She choked up and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid that it will affect your work." Because I'm your niece, I don't want people to think I'm special, so I've been afraid to come to see you. ”
The two talked happily, but when they said goodbye, Mao Yuanzhi did not expect that it would become her farewell to her uncle. When the news of the great man's death came, the whole country was immersed in grief, and Mao Yuanzhi fainted several times.
Every December 26th and September 9th, she will go to the *** Memorial Hall alone, quietly looking at the portrait of her uncle, although there is no her name in the signature book, but her heart is full of deep admiration and nostalgia.
Mao Yuanzhi's father was a staunch revolutionary who sacrificed his precious life for the cause of the country and the people. Although he failed to accompany Mao Yuanzhi to grow up, she did not resent it, but was full of thoughts and admiration for her father.
Fortunately, Uncle *** gave her a lot of fatherly love. However, Mao Yuanzhi didn't want to be special because he was the niece of a great man, so he kept a low profile, and he couldn't even visit his uncle as he wanted.
This spirit of keeping a low profile is deeply admirable.
