He had 10 children in his life, but due to war, illness and other reasons, only two boys and two girls were able to grow up healthy and safe.
However, unfortunately, in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Mao Anying, the most important son, was also buried in the enemy's artillery fire, and only Mao Anqing's son was left under the chairman's knees, as well as Li Min and Li Ne's two daughters.
But even so, Mao Anqing, who symbolizes the inheritance of *** to a certain extent, has suffered all his life.
From hiding from the Kuomintang when he was a child, to living on the streets of Shanghai, and then suffering from serious brain **, Mao Anqing's first half of his life can be described as ill-fated.
Fortunately, Mao Anqing met the love of his life Shao Hua at the age of 37, and the two spent an ordinary and happy life together.
So, what kind of hardships has Mao Anqing encountered along the way? As the son of ***, how did Mao Anqing live in the second half of his life?
On August 7, 1927, he went to the Hunan and Jiangxi borders as a special commissioner to lead the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and then led his troops to Jinggangshan, where he founded the revolutionary base of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
At the same time, Yang Kaihui, who is the wife of ***, stayed in Changshan, Hunan with her three children and launched a secret struggle against the Kuomintang reactionaries.
Unfortunately, Yang Kaihui was born in the fall of 1930**.
Yang Kaihui, who would rather die than give in, finally died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife.
Mao Anying, Mao Anqing, and Mao Anlong, who were not taken care of by their parents, could only live in their uncle Yang Kaizhi's house to take refuge.
As a matter of fact, the Kuomintang reactionaries had already figured out the hiding place of the three children, and the reason why they did not do so for a long time was that they wanted to "put a long line on the big fish."
Realizing that the enemy's eyeliner was all over the residence, Yang Kaizhi was extremely anxious, for fear that the enemy would jump over the wall and directly capture the three children.
It wasn't until the beginning of 1931 that Yang Kaizhi finally received a letter of help.
The person who wrote the letter was Mao**, the younger brother of ***, who learned that his sister-in-law had died and that his three children were hiding in Changsha, where the white terror was shrouded, Mao ** was very anxious, and immediately wrote to inform Yang Kaizhi and asked him to send the children to Shanghai to live.
In this way, the three brothers embarked on a journey to Shanghai.
One morning before the Spring Festival in 1931, the three brothers quietly left Changsha Pancang and trekked 20 kilometers to Baishui Station on the Guangdong-Hanzhou Line.
They traveled by train to Hankow, where they were then transferred to a steamer bound for Shanghai.
Due to the limited travel expenses and the need to evade the Kuomintang arrest, the three brothers sat in the lowest cabin.
It was a cold winter month, and there was a snowy day, and the three children were frozen and huddled together, but in order not to attract the attention of the military police and spies, several people didn't say a word, and no one screamed cold.
On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the three brothers spent this time on the ship.
It wasn't until after the Spring Festival that they finally arrived in Shanghai after a difficult journey.
But what they didn't expect was that after going ashore was the beginning of their hard life.
In Shanghai, the three brothers met their uncle Mao **, and under the personal arrangement of ***, they entered the Datong Kindergarten founded by our party to go to school.
However, within a few months, the kindergarten was discovered by the Kuomintang, all the staff were arrested, and the children were left on the streets because they had no one to take care of them.
Mao Anqing followed his brother Mao Anying and younger brother Mao Anlong on a wandering journey, and he was only 8 years old this year.
In the days of wandering in Shanghai, the three of them were like Sanmao in "Sanmao's Wanderings", sleeping on the side of the road, under bridges and holes every day, and looking for something to eat in the garbage heap.
There is a Waibaidu Bridge in Shanghai, and Mao Anqing often follows his brother to push rickshaws for others to earn a few small dollars.
It wasn't until a few months later that the organization found the Mao Anqing brothers.
Mao Anqing, under the pseudonym Yang Yongshou, lived with his brother in the home of an underground party member named Huang Huiying.
For more than three years, the two brothers have been living with Huang Huiying's family.
But the Huang family originally had 4 children, although the organization gave Huang Huiying 20 yuan a month for living expenses, and occasionally some subsidies, but this was not enough to support a large family.
There is no way, she can only take the children to wash clothes and tie paper flowers, while Mao Anqing works as a newsboy on the street with her brother.
Once, Mao Anqing came back from selling newspapers and found that he had received several counterfeit coins, and he was very annoyed.
He was already hungry twice, and in a fit of anger, he wrote the words "Down with foreigners" on the telephone pole.
As a result, this scene happened to be seen by a passing foreign patrol, and he was immediately slapped in the face.
Mao Anqing immediately rolled on the ground in pain, and after going back, he fell seriously ill.
Maybe it was the physical trauma, or maybe it was the beating of the foreign patrol that left a psychological shadow on Mao Anqing, and since then he has fallen into delirium.
The two brothers Mao Anqing spent four years in Huang Huiying's house, and although their lives were hard and sad, they finally survived the most difficult years.
At the beginning of 1936, the Shanghai party organization regained contact with ***.
Prior to this, the Shanghai underground party was destroyed by the enemy because of the traitor's betrayal, and the two sides lost contact for a long time, and there was no way to know the whereabouts of the two children.
Knowing that the two Mao Anqing brothers were still safe, ** sent a special commissioner to send arrangements for them: to study in the Soviet Union.
At that time, the Soviet Union said that it could accept a number of orphans of Chinese martyrs and children of Red Army leaders to study in the Soviet Union.
Mao Anqing and the two undoubtedly met this condition, so they instructed the brothers: You don't have to come to northern Shaanxi, just go directly to the Soviet Union.
In June 1936, Mao Anqing and his brother set out from Shanghai, arrived in France after a month's ocean voyage, and then traveled to the Soviet Union to live in the Comintern Children's Home.
After arriving in the Soviet Union, the brothers finally had the opportunity to contact their father directly after many years.
The brothers, who lost their mother and younger brother early, can only pin all their thoughts on their father.
They constantly write letters to the chairman and report on all matters in their lives and studies at any time.
**I often take time out of my busy schedule to send letters to the two of them, encouraging their two sons to study hard and come back to serve the country in the future.
The two brothers Mao Anqing worked very hard in the international school, and they cherished their hard-won life after suffering too much.
They studied hard, worked hard, came out on top in every exam, and both brothers skipped grades.
**I am very pleased with the growth of my two sons.** When he first received the ** from the Soviet Union from the two of them, he couldn't help but take the ** and look at it over and over again, walking back and forth in and out of the house, completely ignoring the sick body.
The chairman looked left and right, and the concern for the two biological flesh and blood who had been separated for nearly 10 years gushed out at that moment.
Staring at the two people who were both strange and familiar on the **, ** was full of excitement and mixed tastes.
For the hardships that the two brothers have experienced along the way, ** is very clear in my heart, and I am also very guilty.
Especially Mao Anqing, who had been severely beaten and left sequelae, the chairman had indescribable distress and pity in his heart.
But fortunately, the two who went to the Soviet Union finally bid farewell to their past miserable lives.
In January 1946, Mao Anying returned to China to serve first, while Mao Anqing was admitted to Dongfang University to continue his studies, and returned to his father after graduating the following year.
When Mao Anqing returned to the motherland, the basic overall situation in the country had been decided, and the "Jiang dynasty" was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that the reunification of the country was imminent and the family was reunited after many years, Mao Anqing felt overjoyed, and even the mental problems that had plagued him for many years were much better.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Anqing participated in the translation work of the Propaganda Department with his rich knowledge reserve and proficient in authentic Russian.
In more than a year, Mao Anqing completed the translation of five or six Marxist and Stalin works, and became the backbone core of the Propaganda Department.
It's just that he has a smooth career, but he is always unsatisfactory emotionally.
At this time, Mao Anqing was nearly thirty years old, but the marriage event had never been settled, and he was also very anxious.
He gave his son an idea:"When you are looking for a partner, don't say it's my son, just say that you work in the Central Propaganda Department, wouldn't it be good. Don't ask too much, people are capable, maybe they don't look down on you, I advise you to find a girl from a worker or peasant background. ”
His father's words touched Mao Anqing a lot.
It's just that before he had time to work hard for his marriage, a bad news on the Korean battlefield completely crushed him - Mao Anying died.
In the case of the early death of her mother, the death of her younger brother, and the absence of her father all the year round, Mao Anying's status in Mao Anqing's mind is needless to say.
The two left their hometown together at the age of seven or eight and went to Shanghai and the Soviet Union to drift.
For Mao Anqing, his brother is a father, brother and friend to him.
Without his brother, Mao Anqing lost the object to confide in his heart and rely on each other.
Mentally irritated, he soon fell ill.
** Advised him to change his living environment, so Mao Anqing returned to the Soviet Union to recuperate.
This is the second time he has traveled to a foreign country, and unlike the last time, this time he is seriously ill and empty, without his brother's company.
In 1955, Mao Anying's widow Liu Siqi came to Moscow University for further study and came to visit the depressed Mao Anqing.
After wandering outside for many years, he finally slowly healed the pain caused by his brother's departure.
He proposed to return to China, and Liu Siqi sent a letter to ***.
Later, after being arranged by *** and the embassy in the Soviet Union, Mao Anqing returned to Dalian, Liaoning Province to continue to recuperate.
Soon, ** came to Dalian to visit his son.
At this time, Mao Anqing's health had improved greatly, and the father and son talked cordially for a long time, during which they also mentioned Mao Anqing's marriage again.
Seeing that his son couldn't make up his mind for a long time, the chairman asked tentatively:"How's your sister-in-law's sister? ”
is talking about Liu Siqi's sister Shao Hua, speaking of which Mao Anqing has already known her.
When Liu Siqi married Mao Anying, Shao Hua was still a teenage girl with pigtails, and often followed her brothers and sisters to Zhongnanhai to play.
Many years have passed, Shao Hua has faded away from her youthfulness and has become a slim girl who is studying at Peking University.
In fact, Mao Anqing has long been interested in Shao Hua, but because he has been recuperating outside for many years, he has no chance to express his admiration for the girl he likes.
This time, his father took the initiative to suggest that Mao Anqing felt that a secret that had been buried in his heart for a long time saw the sunshine.
From then on, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua began to exchange letters.
The two exchanged ideas and lives with each other, and also shared friendship and feelings.
Unconsciously, two fiery hearts beat together.
Mao Anqing, who was nourished by love, was able to recover quickly, and he took the initiative to leave the sanatorium and participate in the vigorous socialist construction.
In 1960, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua got married in Dalian.
37-year-old Mao Anqing has reaped his own happiness, and a stone in his heart has finally landed.
Mao Anqing, who experienced ups and downs in the first half of his life, opened a new chapter in his life from this year.
As the son of ***, Mao Anqing's life and work are far from being as far away as others imagined.
He continued to work as a translator and published many books in memory of his parents.
In his spare time, the Mao An Youth Association and Shao Hua supported the construction of poverty-stricken areas, visited old revolutionary areas, helped out-of-school children, and established patriotic education bases.
Although he is in an ordinary position, Mao Anqing has always done his best to contribute to the construction of the motherland.
It is worth mentioning that Mao Anqing, who is the son of ***, has not received special care in terms of work treatment, whether before or after retirement.
During his research work at the Academy of Military Sciences, Mao Anqing enjoyed the treatment of a researcher.
During his tenure in the Central Propaganda Department, he only received the salary of an ordinary translator.
There is only one item, in terms of medical treatment, Mao Anqing has enjoyed the care of the vice premier level.
Because the sequelae of brain injury in his youth were too serious, coupled with the serious heart disease in his later years, ordinary hospitals could not ** at all, so he was transferred to the 301 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for treatment.
In addition, Mao Anqing has never received any special care.
However, on March 23, 2007, Mao Anqing finally left this world because of a heart attack.
In June of the following year, Shao Hua also followed her husband because of the spread of breast cancer.
As the first son and daughter-in-law, the two quietly left this world after spending nearly half a century of a dull life together.
Mao Anqing is lucky, he is one of the three survivors of ***10 children, and he is the only son of the chairman.
Mao Anqing was unfortunate again, the upheaval in his early years brought him a double blow of physical and psychological blows, and left a lifetime of sequelae.
Fortunately, after entering the second half of his life, Mao Anqing met the love of his life.
Although he failed to inherit the mantle of ***, Mao Anqing found the lifestyle he loved.
Presumably, it is enough to feel relieved to see his son's plain but happy and fulfilling life in the second half of his life.
