In July 1946, 16-year-old Liu Siqi, his mother Zhang Wenqiu and two young sisters finally arrived in Yan'an, the holy land of the revolution, after eight years of detention.
At the same time, Mao Anying, who had just returned from studying in the Soviet Union, was only 24 years old. The first time they met, it was on the slope of the cave in Yangjialing.
Liu Siqi and Li Ne met for the first time in front of ***. And Mao Anying was just about to go to ***'s office. This seemingly accidental encounter laid the groundwork for their subsequent fate.
In May 1948, the two men shared a common ideal, bringing them together in Xibaipo. Soon, Mao Anying submitted a request to *** to get married. However, ** is against this.
It wasn't until October 1949 that their wedding took place. However, this marriage only lasted for more than a year, and Mao Anying died heroically in the battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea at the age of 28.
Today, 56 years later, 76-year-old Liu Siqi finally came to Dayu Cave and came to the place where Mao Anying died. "He is a man of flesh and blood" When watching some historical period dramas, Liu Siqi found that Mao Anying's image was always shaped as not real enough.
He is not silent, let alone following the crowd, but a man of flesh and blood. He is independent-minded, dares to speak out, and is as enthusiastic as a fire, this is the real Mao Anying.
The story of Mao Anying and Liu Siqi, just like their meeting, acquaintance and love, is full of Mao Anying's initiative. He bravely pursued his love, bringing the two closer together by sharing philosophy and Marxism-Leninism.
However, at first, Liu Siqi did not have special feelings for Mao Anying, she just felt that he was a simple and humble grassroots cadre. But Mao Anying may have been impressed with her from their first meeting.
Once, he went to Liu Siqi and Li Ne with a philosophy book, and that night he explained dialectical materialism and historical materialism to them, which did not end until late at night.
Although Liu Siqi was very sleepy at the time, the next morning, she was still deeply attracted by Mao Anying's thoughts and life experiences. Although they were both in Xibaipo, they had more and more contact with each other, and Liu Siqi also began to empathize with Mao Anying's thoughts and life experiences.
When two young hearts collide because of a common goal and thoughts, family background and identity are no longer important. In May 1948, Mao Anying proposed the idea of marriage to Liu Siqi, but *** was a little hesitant about this, thinking that Liu Siqi was still too young.
So, they chose to wait, and it was not until the founding of New China that ** readily agreed to their marriage. Liu Siqi is also a descendant of a martyr, and although he is young, he has already experienced the tempering of the revolution.
Before falling in love with Mao Anying, she was also the goddaughter of ***. As a result, their marriage was seen as a match made in heaven, however, their wedding was a bit austere for various reasons.
Although there were no luxurious wedding cars, gorgeous wedding dresses and lively banquets, their wedding was still warm and solemn. The day of the wedding coincided with the meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee, and they chose this special day to celebrate with family, friends and children.
The bride, Liu Siqi, was dressed in a plain brown Lenin suit, with no makeup on her face, and only a festive velvet flower pinned to her chest. The groom Mao Anying is also dressed in ordinary clothes, the two are smiling, full of energy, and happily married with the blessing of *** and others.
Liu Siqi never felt that there was any grievance in this, and the experience of the war years made her have low material requirements. After the wedding, ** personally gave them a black coat that had followed him for many years as a wedding gift.
Although this gift is simple, it is full of warmth and meaning.
Although it is neither luxurious nor new, it carries the deep love of a loving father. "I don't have any special gifts for you ......In the evening, the two of you build together, so that Siqi also participates. ”
After Mao Anying and Liu Siqi got married, they respected each other, helped each other, and made progress together. They both think that each other is their ideal partner, and they enjoy happiness and romance all the time.
However, the war on the Korean Peninsula also spread to the nascent China. The surrounding countries are eyeing each other, and the Chinese people are once again facing a crisis. When the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was preparing to go to Korea, Mao Anying took the initiative to ask for battle.
Like countless peasant sons, he took it as his duty to defend his homeland and country. After knowing it, I agreed without hesitation. Mao Anying is not only his son, but also the son of the party and the people.
However, Liu Siqi had no idea.
Mao Anying returned to Beijing after preparing for the war, only to be told that his wife was hospitalized with acute appendicitis. He felt guilty about this and deliberately set aside two nights to accompany his wife Liu Siqi.
However, the battle situation ahead was critical, and he had to return immediately. Even though he didn't tell his wife the truth, she felt his departure. Liu Siqi recalled the scene of that day and felt extremely regretful and painful.
She never thought that the "business trip" in Mao Anying's mouth was actually to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Their farewell in the hospital became the last of their lives.
On the morning of October 15, Liu Siqi sent him to the entrance of the hospital. He told her not to give it away, and then bowed deeply.
Liu Siqi watched Mao Anying go away, and her heart was full of reluctance and struggle, but she didn't doubt it. Before leaving, Mao Anying told her that the place he was about to go to was inaccessible and might not receive letters, which made her feel reassured.
Liu Siqi, who understands righteousness, has never thought of delaying her husband's work because of her own affairs. At that time, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone was facing changes in their lives. From 1950 to 1953, a total of 2.4 million Chinese volunteers set foot on the Korean battlefield, including Mao Anying.
He died on November 25, 1950, just over a month after entering the Korean War.
During that long month, Liu Siqi only received a strange letter. The letter was not postmarked, had no address, and was just a few prosaic homely words. But the arrival of this letter was like a reassuring pill, which made Liu Siqi stop thinking about her husband.
However, when he learned the bad news of Mao Anying's sacrifice, Mr. Peng felt deeply remorseful. He hesitated for almost two hours before sending out this brief telegram. The first person to learn of Mao Anying's sacrifice was ***
In his grief, he decided to put the telegram down for the time being. Because at that time, *** had been tired for many days in a row, and unfortunately suffered from a severe cold. If this bad news were told to him at this time, it would undoubtedly be a heartache for a father.
Similarly, Liu Siqi was also kept in the dark. It wasn't until New Year's Day of the following year that ** presented this telegram with a heavy heart to *** According to the secretary Ye Zilong's recollection, *** looked down at that time.
In three or four minutes, my eyes were already full of tears.
** Speaking quietly: "Fighting is a ...... that comes at a priceAs the leader of the People's Republic of China, if I don't send other people's children, whose children can I send......His tone was resolute, but deep down there was a father's pain.
As the leader of the Party and the country, the chairman must deeply hide this pain. At this moment, he is most worried about his youngest daughter Liu Siqi, who is only 20 years old. After much deliberation, the Chair chose confidentiality.
In this case, it was not until three years after Mao Anying's death that Liu Siqi, as his wife, learned of his death.
When she didn't know it, she would go to Zhongnanhai to visit *** every week and talk about Mao Anying with *** every time. Whenever this happens, ** will appease Liu Siqi and continue to talk about her topic, as if Mao Anying is still alive.
Until one day, Hou Bo, who specially took pictures of ***, gave her a ** of Mao Anying, which was a side face photo of Mao Anying, and she was wearing a military cap of the Volunteer Army on her head. At that moment, Liu Siqi's heart suddenly became nervous, and she felt even more uneasy when she thought that she had not received a letter from Mao Anying for more than two years.
The next weekend, she ran directly to *** and asked this question: "Dad, why hasn't Anying written for so long?" * took a deep breath and said softly, "Siqi, Kishi Ying has already sacrificed. ”
The truth will always come out one day, and it is impossible to hide it forever. It was his father who told the bad news in person, and Liu Siqi's mind was blank at that time, and he couldn't stop crying.
Recalling Mao Anying's parting, every conversation with ***, she couldn't accept this fact. Although I don't want to accept it, I can't help it. The people around him acquiesced to this fact and understood that Mao Anying would never come back.
Liu Siqi's emotions were on the verge of collapse, and in order to help her get out of the predicament, he endured his grief and told the sacrifices made by the revolutionary martyrs for Xintiandi. These sacrifices are for the happiness of the next generation, and the dedication of the revolution is indispensable.
Liu Siqi finally recovered from her grief, and gave her a few sleeping pills, which she could take when she couldn't sleep. "
Perhaps, everyone will encounter setbacks and difficulties in life, just like the great pain that Mao Anying's unexpected death brought to *** and Liu Siqi. Mao Anying's place in the lives of both of them is irreplaceable, and his death has plunged Liu Siqi into deep sadness and pain.
Her emotions could not be vented, her spirit was also highly depressed, and she even suffered from cerebral neurasthenia. In this case, love and understanding are particularly important.
He took the initiative to suggest that Liu Siqi go to the Soviet Union to study, and enlightened her with letters, including about remarrying. Although she is nominally ***'s daughter-in-law, *** always cares for her as her own daughter.
Mao Anying's death had a profound impact on Liu Siqi, and this brief marriage became a part of her life. However, even in such a predicament, Liu Siqi did not forget Mao Anying, she only had him in her heart.
This experience made Liu Siqi deeply realize the fragility and preciousness of life, and she realized that she could not give up her life because of the difficulties in front of her. Although Mao Anying is no longer there, she still has to live strong and move on.
Under the influence of his character, I feel clean and pure ...... when I am a personWhen the President first brought it up, I didn't have any particular feelings for anyone. Although he has repeatedly written letters to urge and introduced many young talents through others, Liu Siqi has always had only one place in his heart, reserved for that special person.
Until the winter of 1958, ** felt that he could not wait any longer. "I know you have a very deep affection for Kishi Ying. However, watching the door and keeping the festival and starting from the beginning, these are feudal ideas, and Kian Ying will not agree with it, and I don't want it either. ”
Seeing that the chairman was so worried about his personal affairs, Liu Siqi decided to start a new life in addition to guilt. Before that, she had an unfulfilled wish to go to North Korea to pay tribute to Mao Anying.
The Chair expressed his support and understanding for that decision. In fact, why didn't he want to go to a foreign country to visit the sleeping Mao Anying?
In the Spring Festival of 1959, ** personally arranged a trip to the court for Mao Anying's relative Liu Siqi. He particularly emphasized that not a penny of public money should be used for this trip, and only from his manuscript fee should be advanced; Do not alarm the DPRK party and ** leaders; All activities are low-key and not reported.
In the cold wind by the Yalu River, Liu Siqi stepped on the road that Mao Anying once walked. The group rushed from Pyongyang to Hinchang County, and finally came to the Hichang Martyrs Cemetery.
The 240 steps of this mausoleum symbolize the heroic sacrifice of 2.4 million Chinese volunteers. In the cemetery, Liu Siqi saw the plaque of "Mighty and Forever" and the 14-meter-high bronze statue of the Volunteers.
Mao Anying's mausoleum is at the forefront, and behind him are the tombstones of 133 heroic souls. When Liu Siqi saw this, she really accepted and faced the bad news of Mao Anying's sacrifice.
The man never came back, and her spirit was severely damaged because of it.
On the way back, Liu Siqi suddenly suffered from a variety of acute illnesses and was rushed to the Capital Hospital as soon as he got off the train. This incident made *** very worried, not only sent a guard to visit, but also took time to write a letter to comfort her.
After recovering from his illness, Liu Siqi told the martyrs' cemetery in detail about the grass and trees in the cemetery. After listening, ** sighed with emotion: "Siqi, if you have the chance, you still have to go to the place where Anying sacrificed." ”
Although she is over seventy years old, she still makes a low-key trip to Dayu Cave to pay respects, which is where Mao Anying died. His blood stained the land red, witnessing his last glorious years.
However, the feeling of going to Dayu Cave and going to the martyr's cemetery is different, and the sadness that this place brings to Liu Siqi is deeper.
Liu Siqi can't forget the moment when his beloved was killed by napalm thrown by enemy troops. Although she has been to North Korea three times, she has never set foot in Daeyudong.
However, Liu Siqi understands that she is actually very eager to go to that place. Because, that's ***'s wish. On May 12, 2006, 76-year-old Liu Siqi finally came to Dayudong.
The years are ruthless, and the young girl of the year has become the last year of the wind and candle. In Dayu Cave, she swept the grave of Mao Anying and said to the children: "Anying, I will bring the children to visit your grave today......As soon as I can no longer come to visit your grave because of old age and sickness, they will come ...... on my behalf"The place of Mao Anying's sacrifice was determined to be under the pine forest on the former site of the headquarters.
The 12 tall and straight pine trees were planted by the North Korean side to commemorate Mao Anying, symbolizing his bravery and unyielding.
Liu Siqi solemnly toasted three glasses of wine, expressing his deep admiration and nostalgia for *** and Mao Anying. Although their unfulfilled wish has been realized, Liu Siqi was unable to come to worship in person, which made her heart full of regret.
She wished she could have more time to chat with Mao Anying, but this wish could never be realized. At the sacrifice site, the children collected a handful of soil and a pine pagoda, which Liu Siqi regarded as Mao Anying's heroic spirit and kept it safely, hoping to comfort his soul.
Liu Siqi's mood was also understood by Yang Maozhi and his children, who regarded Mao Anying as their relatives. ** was also very concerned about Liu Siqi's remarriage, and later General Liu Zhen served as the "matchmaker" and introduced Yang Maozhi to ***
After a detailed examination of Yang Maozhi's qualifications, the chairman was very satisfied with him. In fact, he and Liu Siqi were alumni of their time studying in the Soviet Union. Because they know the bottom line and Yang Maozhi is still working very hard, the chairman thinks he is the best candidate.
Therefore, the chairman specially wrote a letter to Zhang Wenqiu, asking her to check for Liu Siqi as a mother and give some suggestions. At the same time, Liu Siqi also received a letter from Chairman *** and learned that everyone wanted to match her with Yang Maozhi.
Under a series of matchmaking, the two young people began a formal relationship. At the end of 1961, Liu Siqi went to Zhongnanhai and told Chairman *** that she was about to get married.
The Chairman was very pleased to hear the good news. He entrusted Zhang Wenqiu to organize the wedding and prepare the dowry like a daughter. In mid-February of the following year, more than ten years after Mao Anying's death, Liu Siqi finally started a new life.
**The chairman also specially sent two gifts, one is the handwritten copy of "Bu Operator Yongmei" and "Seven Laws and Comrade Guo Moruo", and the other is a gift of 300 yuan.
In the years after marriage, Liu Siqi gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and lived a peaceful and happy life for the rest of his life, just as the chairman expected and Mao Anying hoped for. Although she later changed her identity, changed her name to Liu Songlin, and spent her life as an ordinary woman, she experienced those things, whether it was pain or joy, and it was her rich life experience.
Although Mao Anying has passed away, Liu Siqi's relationship with the chairman is still close, as before. She once asked the chairman: "Is Mao Anying qualified to be your son?" ”
The chairman knew the question, but never gave Mao Anying an answer. However, in front of Liu Siqi, he gave two words - "qualified". Mao Anying sacrificed his life for the country, how could he make his father not proud?
Like countless volunteer soldiers, he is a strong barrier to the motherland and the pride of the nation. They have endured the hardships of five generations, and now the motherland is safe and sound, and the martyrs who died bravely can rest in peace.
