In July 1977, two special "censors" came to the Longyan Film Workstation, who claimed to be sent by the Provincial Bureau of Culture. Their task is to listen to Yang Yuehua's "report", and Yang Yuehua, as the secretary of the party branch, is full of expectations for this report.
However, what puzzled Yang Yuehua was that the "inspectors" from the province didn't seem to pay much attention to the content of her report, and they looked at themselves while bowing their heads to discuss something.
Yang Yuehua didn't know that the two "inspectors" in front of her were ***'s daughter Li Min and her husband Kong Linghua.
He Zizhen, the love enlightener of the chairman's youth, a close companion on the revolutionary road, is one of the two wives with an important position in the chairman's emotional life.
In 1925, at the age of 16, she joined the Youth League, determined to contribute to the revolutionary cause she loved. However, two years later, the revolutionary uprising failed, and ** led the troops to Jinggangshan, thousands of miles away, and established the Jinggangshan base area.
He Zizhen followed her brother He Minxue to Jinggangshan, and with her new ideas and capable work style, she quickly attracted the attention of the party organization and was promoted to the propaganda officer of the Jinggangshan base area.
In that crisis-ridden era, ** went through many difficulties, and finally found his wife Yang Kaihui, who had been married to him for five years, but was forced to separate due to the failure of the revolution.
They reported their safety to each other by letters, but the process of correspondence was extremely difficult, because their letters were often blocked by the reactionaries. Although they were able to keep in touch at first, their connection was eventually broken when the underground transportation station was destroyed.
After many inquiries, the Organization Department learned that Comrade Yang Kaihui, the wife of the chairman, had died. As the creator of the Chairman's romantic love in the prime of his life, as well as an unwavering supporter and fighter on the road of revolutionary struggle, her dedication undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the President and deeply grieved him.
During this period, the chairman even fell ill because of this, and he could not recover for a long time. He once said that "the body is the capital of the revolution", but the prolonged grief was not only not conducive to his physical recovery, but also to the advancement of revolutionary work.
Therefore, "intimacy is the best salvation", in order to help the chairman as soon as possible, the gentle and considerate He Zizhen was carefully arranged by the chairman's side and was responsible for taking care of his daily life.
When *** saw He Zizhen for the first time, he was deeply attracted by her energetic and unique temperament. In those years of war, he was amazed to meet such a beautiful girl.
What surprised him even more was that this girl was not only the small leader of the peasant self-defense army, but also vigorous and resolute in her work. In life, she shows another side of gentleness and dignity, and her good handwriting is even more admirable.
With the increase of contact, ** found that He Zizhen is not only his right-hand man, but also his intimate partner in life. Their relationship continued to heat up over time, and the people around them also saw their tacit understanding and began to match them.
So, in May 1928, they made a promise to each other in a simple wedding. He Zizhen also officially became the wife and secretary of ***, and accompanied him through one historical moment after another.
Mao Jinhua, also known as Yang Yuehua. Soon after the marriage, He Zizhen became pregnant. In order to facilitate He Zizhen to successfully protect the fetus, the leaders specially allocated her a brown horse, because this kind of horse is not easy to expose the target, and it is safer when changing positions.
Under the leadership of ***, the Red Army team was like a bamboo, and successfully liberated Longyan, Fujian. Soon, He Zizhen gave birth to their first child in Longyan, who was also the chairman's first daughter.
The chairman liked the child so much that he named him Jinhua.
In the waves of the revolution, the ranks of the Red Army had to leave Longyan City due to the frequent encirclement and suppression of the enemy. Due to the harsh living conditions, the Red Army soldiers were often threatened with disease and injury when transferring positions, and some even gave their precious lives during the transfer.
This kind of ordeal is already a great challenge for adults, let alone babies who have just been born. Faced with this predicament, ** and He Zizhen decided to foster the child in the homes of local people, and waited until the revolution achieved a stable victory before taking her back.
He Zizhen is a staunch Communist Party member, but as a mother, she is forgivable for her reluctance to give up her children. Especially in that war-torn era, she was hesitant to give her child away.
However, in the end, she chose reason and righteousness, and sent her daughter Mao Jinhua to Weng Qinghe's house in Longyan City. Weng Qinghe is a trustworthy person, and he likes Mao Jinhua, which makes He Zizhen feel relieved.
In order to let her daughter get good care, He Zizhen also prepared some clothes and silver dollars as child support. According to local custom, such an adoption relationship is equivalent to a marriage of kinship.
Weng Qinghe also gave He Zizhen three chickens and eggs, thus formalizing the relationship between the adoption of Mao Jinhua. Although He Zizhen's decision was painful, her love and responsibility made her make the right choice.
In 1932, the situation of the revolution became clearer and clearer, and the Red Army troops came to Longyan in Fujian Province again, and He Zizhen, who was eager for her daughter, also followed the organization back to Longyan, a city she was familiar with.
This is the fifth year that Mao Jinhua has been sent to the shoemaker's house, but the street corner has changed drastically. He Zizhen inquired in many ways and finally found the shoemaker who entrusted her daughter to the beginning, but the other party told her that her daughter Mao Jinhua died of illness 4 months after they evacuated Longyan.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, He Zizhen couldn't accept it, and the reunion she was eagerly looking forward to turned into the bad news of her daughter's premature death, and she burst into tears. However, in that era when countless ancestors sacrificed bravely for the achievements of the revolution, He Zizhen and *** must hide the grief of losing their beloved daughter in their hearts and put the fate of the country first.
Therefore, they later devoted all their energies to revolutionary work. However, just when they had already accepted the fact that "the eldest daughter died", they accidentally learned from a person who claimed to be "Weng Shoemaker" that Mao Jinhua was actually still alive.
Mao Jinhua's fate changed dramatically after the Red Army withdrew, her hometown of Longyan was occupied by Kuomintang troops, and Weng shoemaker had to keep the daughter of the Red Army leader in front of the grocery store for fear of being liquidated.
Although Boss Lin originally had no intention of adopting her, seeing that the child had not been taken away at the door all day, he couldn't bear it and decided to give Mao Jinhua to a person named Weng Gu to raise.
Boss Lin didn't expect that Aunt Weng, who claimed to be full of love for her children, resold Mao Jinhua** for money a year later. The buyer is Zhang Xianzhi of Longyan Street Fried Fritters.
However, after the death of Zhang Xianzhi's wife, the fritter business plummeted, and he was in debt and his life was in trouble. As a result, 5-year-old Mao Jinhua became his burden and was transferred to a local woman named Qiu Lanzai.
A twist of fate may make Mao Jinhua warm in her new family. When she was a child, Mao Jinhua was nicknamed "head-filling meat" by children, which clearly implied that she was not biological, which made Mao Jinhua very sad.
In order to protect Mao Jinhua, her adoptive mother went to the other party's house to plead. Since then, no one dares to call Mao Jinhua the nickname of "head-filling meat". When Mao Jinhua was 13 years old, in order to show her approval, Qiu Lanzai asked her to change her husband's surname, change her name to "Yang Yuehua", and love her like her own daughter.
This child, who was wandering around since childhood, finally settled down in the Qiu family after many hardships.
Yang Yuehua was sent to the local primary school by her adoptive parents since she was a child, perhaps because the chairman's father's genes are too good, she has shown extremely high intelligence since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been among the best.
After the Red Army liberated Longyan City again, this outstanding cultural woman naturally received organizational attention, coupled with her initiative to join the Communist Party of China, active and willing to work, she was promoted by the Organization Department to the secretary of the Party branch of Longyan Middle Street.
At the age of 18, after the founding of New China, she met him under the introduction of Zheng Huanzhang, who worked in the county food bureau, and with the help of her adoptive mother, the two finally got married. Their life is like He Zizhen, although it is not so turbulent, but they are very happy, have 6 children, and form their own family.
Yang Yuehua was a wanderer in her early years, which made the ** Organization Department very concerned. They inquired in many ways, and even asked the comrades of Longyan ** to help find it. Finally, in 1973, he learned that Yang Yuehua was Mao Jinhua, and brought her to Shanghai to recognize her mother He Zizhen.
However, considering He Zizhen's illness, his uncle He Minxue did not immediately arrange for the mother and daughter to meet, promising to meet in Fuzhou or Nanchang in the future. In He Minxue's living room, the two chatted all night and finally recognized each other.
When He Minxue saw Yang Yuehua, tears fell like rain, and he shouted, "Yuehua, we are looking for you so hard."
He Zizhen recuperated in Fujian for four years, and originally planned to meet her daughter Yang Yuehua, but due to various reasons, it was not realized in the end, which became a big regret in Yang Yuehua's heart.
In the spring of 1986, He Minxue came to Longyan again to visit her because he missed Yang Yuehua, but this was the last meeting between them. Two years later, He Minxue died of illness.
Although He Min's students have confirmed that Yang Yuehua is He Zizhen's biological daughter, because *** and He Zizhen have never met and recognized Yang Yuehua, the statement that "Yang Yuehua is Mao Jinhua" has never been officially confirmed.
Among the relatives of the He family, you are the luckiest one. Yang Yuehua has become the secretary of the Party branch and deputy manager of Longyan Film Company, and her material life and emotional needs have been met; Although she knew the identity of her biological parents, she never revealed anything to the outside world, let alone tried to change her identity or pursue honor because she knew her background.
However, the successive deaths of He Zizhen and He Minxue made Yang Yuehua suffer a huge blow. Especially when she learned the news of the death of her mother, He Zizhen, she was so grief-stricken that she had to retire early at the age of 54.
He Minxue's wife sympathized with her plight and comforted her: "You have a worry-free life, your husband has a good temper, and the children are all by your side, you are the happiest one in the He family." ”
Even as the years go by, Yang Yuehua, who is in her 90s, is still safe and sound, living a plain life that belongs to her. Perhaps, "descendants of great men" is just a small episode in her life journey; When she experienced years of wandering and transitions, and experienced the glory and wealth of the world, she finally realized that her true destination was her adoptive parents, husband and children in Longyan City, and she enjoyed the stability and happiness of ordinary life in that spacious and bright home.
Yang Yuehua, an ordinary woman, refused the reporter's request for an interview because she believed that the *** family had made great contributions to the revolutionary cause of New China and made our lives more stable and happy.
She used simple but powerful words to expound the idea of *** - no matter whose children it is, they are the children of the people after all, and let the children return to the people.
This is a deep humanistic concern and historical outlook, which is worth learning and learning from all of us. Today, Yang Yuehua has chosen an ordinary life, but this does not mean that her value and contribution will be overlooked.
Because her behavior is the best interpretation of *** thought, she has been practicing this love and loyalty all her life.
