In the turbulent years, the ** family has experienced vicissitudes.
He had ten children, four girls and six boys.
But unfortunately, due to the tragedy of the war and other unfortunate events, four of the sons died early, and only the eldest son Mao Anying and the second son Mao Anqing survived to adulthood.
However, Mao Anying died heroically on the Korean battlefield, leaving Mao Anqing alone to face the challenges of life.
In 2007, ** reported the death of Mao Anqing, and everyone knew that ** the only son who survived until his old age, his life was so ordinary and low-key that the public knew little about him.
What stories are Mao Anqing's life path full of? What was his life like in his later years?
In that era full of change, ** and his mentor Yang Changji's daughter Yang Kaihui gave birth to a deep affection.
The two gradually narrowed the distance between their hearts and souls in their common ideals and lives, and finally got married.
Yang Kaihui, a woman in the new era, not only has independent thoughts, but also deeply agrees with the revolutionary concept of ***.
At the wedding, Yang Kaihui adhered to three principles:She does not sit in a sedan chair, does not ask for a dowry, and does not go through matchmaking, she sets an example for her free marriage in this way.
After getting married, Yang Kaihui became the right-hand man and secretary of *** with her outstanding ability, helping him solve many major problems.
In the context of that turbulent era, couples were often separated, and even when the child was born, ** often could not be around.
In 1922, they welcomed their first child, Mao Anying, followed by Mao Anqing and Mao Anlong.
Mao Anqing's name means vitality and vitality, and I hope he can thrive like grass.
As the second child in the family, Mao Anqing grew up listening to his father's heroic deeds, and his heart was deeply rooted in revolutionary ideals.
But his childhood was marked by a series of exodus and displacement.
** and his family have always been the target of the reactionaries. Under the ruthless pursuit, Yang Kaihui took several children and a nanny to live in hardship.
In October 1930, Yang Kaihui was unfortunately captured by the warlord He Jian in Hunan.
In the shadows of her prison, she endured unimaginable ordeals.
Faced with the cruel demands that forced her to betray the Communist Party and ***, Yang Kaihui showed her unwavering revolutionary spirit and refused without hesitation. Her firm attitude finally angered He Jian, and she died heroically.
When Yang Kaihui was heroic, Mao Anqing was only seven years old.
This is an unbearable blow for a child who is just beginning to learn about the world.
In his young mind, his mother was his pillar and mentor to his soul.
The loss of his mother left him with deep scars.
During this difficult period, Mao's younger brother Mao brought Mao Anying and his brothers to Shanghai, hoping that they would receive a good education in Datong Kindergarten.
But fate didn't seem to be kind enough to them, and Datong Kindergarten was soon forced to close.
In the ensuing challenges, Mao Anqing's third brother, Mao Anlong, disappeared on the way to escape and finally died alone in a foreign land.
During these difficult years, Mao Anqing and Mao Anying became the only survivors in the family.
They wandered the streets of Shanghai and experienced endless hardships and challenges.
Every time Mao Anqing recalls the wandering days on the streets of Shanghai, tears always appear in the corners of his eyes.
Those days were full of humiliation and challenges, deeply etched in his memory.
The hardships of life forced his brother Mao Anying to go out to find work, but even so, the brothers still faced the threat of starvation.
In the bustling and indifferent night of Shanghai, two lonely children silently struggle against fate on the streets.
Mao Anqing followed his brother's example and began to do all kinds of odd jobs.
He found a job selling newspapers, and although the income was meager, it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
The twists and turns of fate are always unexpected.
Mao Anqing never thought that this seemingly ordinary job would bring him profound damage.
Once, when he counted the income from the sale of newspapers for a day, he was surprised to find that the income was mixed with counterfeit money.
Anger and hunger drove him to write the slogan "Down with imperialism" on a telephone pole.
This was seen by a patrolling patrolman.
He rushed over angrily, grabbed Mao Anqing's collar without hesitation, and slapped him violently.
Mao Anqing was knocked down on the cold road and lay helplessly.
In the end, it was his brother Mao Anying who found him and carried him home.
Because the injury could not be obtained in time**, Mao Anqing's head was left with permanent scars.
At the beginning of 1936, the connection between the Shanghai underground party and *** was finally restored.
Due to the betrayal of the traitor, the Shanghai underground party suffered serious damage and lost long-term contact with **, which made *** unable to grasp the whereabouts of the two children for a while.
After learning that Mao Anqing and his brother were still safe and sound, ** decisively decided to arrange for them to go to the Soviet Union for further study.
The Soviet Union has expressed its willingness to accept orphans of Chinese martyrs and children of Red Army leaders to study abroad, and the Mao Anqing brothers are the beneficiaries of this policy.
** They were instructed to go directly to the Soviet Union, without having to go to northern Shaanxi first.
In June 1936, Mao Anqing and his brother left Shanghai and arrived in France after a month-long voyage, eventually heading to the Soviet Union to begin their life in the Comintern Children's Home.
In the Soviet Union, they finally had the opportunity to get in touch directly with their father, ***, who was far away in northern Shaanxi.
Brother Mao Anqing, who lost his mother and younger brother, poured all his thoughts into his father.
They kept writing letters to *** and reported their study and life in detail.
Despite their busy schedules, ** always finds time to reply to them, encouraging them to study hard, and looking forward to their return to China to serve their homeland in the future.
In January 1946, Mao Anying took the lead in returning to China after finishing his studies, while Mao Anqing chose to continue his studies at Dongfang University.
After graduating the following year, he also returned to his father.
As the country gradually moved towards reunification, the long-absent family was finally reunited.
After returning to China, Mao Anqing actively devoted himself to the translation of Stalin's Marxism and Linguistic Problems and other important works, and his translations had a profound impact on several generations of Chinese Communists.
He worked in the Marxist-Leninist works compilation team of the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China, and gradually became a scholar and translator.
The long-term study of philosophy and psychology has brought peace to his body and mind, and his life seems to be developing in a better direction.
However, in 1951, when he learned the news that his brother Mao Anying was martyred on the Korean battlefield, Mao Anqing's health declined sharply and he had to be admitted to the hospital**.
As his condition worsened, he became thinner.
Taking into account his health, it was decided to send him to Moscow, USSR.
Although the medical technology of the Soviet Union was quite advanced at that time, because Mao Anqing's brain injury had been nearly 20 years old, medical treatment could only relieve his pain, not **.
The loneliness and longing in a foreign land exacerbated his condition.
Mao Anqing often recalled his time in the Soviet Union with his brother, and these memories made him deeply sad.
Whenever he thought that Mao Anying had died, his health deteriorated more and more.
Therefore, Mao Anqing expressed his wish to Mao Anying's widow Liu Siqi, hoping to return to China to recuperate in order to relieve her inner pain and physical illness.
After the approval of ***, Mao Anqing returned to Dalian Nanshan Hotel to recuperate.
There, he met his lifelong partner Shao Hua, Liu Siqi's half-sister.
When Liu Siqi's mother, Zhang Wenqiu, was recuperating in Dalian due to illness, she took her daughter Shao Hua to visit Mao Anqing at the Nanshan Hotel.
As early as 1949, Mao Anqing met Shao Hua when he followed his brother Mao Anying, and the two exchanged letters and their relationship became deeper and deeper.
After six or seven years of time, the reunion of the two in Nanshan Hotel is particularly precious.
Although time has changed their appearance, it has not changed the deep affection in each other's hearts.
On May 1, 1960, 37-year-old Mao Anqing and 22-year-old Shao Hua tied the knot in Dalian.
On this day, Mao Anqing was wearing a solemn navy blue tunic, while Shao Hua was wearing a white dress, and their eyes were full of affectionate light.
After getting married, Shao Hua not only worked hard at work, but also committed to creating a healthy living environment for Mao Anqing.
She often accompanies him for walks and chats in the park, and takes care of his health.
At the same time, Mao Anqing also actively devoted himself to translation work, and at the same time assisted Shao Hua to solve problems in army construction, and the two supported each other and grew together in love and career.
Mao Anqing did not choose ** or a high position in the army after marriage, but devoted himself to recording the stories of revolutionary heroes. In 1989, Mao Anqing joined hands with his wife Shao Hua, and with the encouragement of his revolutionary predecessors and others, he began to compile a documentary literary work about *** "China has a ***".
In order to pursue the authenticity and comprehensiveness of the information, Mao Anqing and his wife worked tirelessly to collect information, went deep into various departments and libraries, and often relived the time spent with their father.
In the face of worrisome physical conditions, they also personally went to the old revolutionary base areas to learn more about the situation from the local residents and the surviving veteran comrades.
Their pursuit of excellence and conscientious attitude have won high recognition from the older generation of revolutionaries and leaders, and have received strong support from all sides.
The creation of this book took more than ten years.
Shao Hua has always focused on taking care of her husband who is not in good health, and the two live a low-key life and rarely appear on **.
In his later years, Mao Anqing still paid attention to national affairs and actively participated in the renovation of martyrs' cemeteries and the establishment of patriotic education bases.
Considering Mao Anqing's outstanding contributions since his return to China in 1947, he was given the treatment of a member of the Politburo in his later years.
In particular, when he was seriously ill in his later years, ** special approval was given to him to provide him with medical treatment at the level of Deputy Prime Minister of the State.
On March 23, 2007, Mao Anqing passed away in Beijing at the age of 84.
In December 2008, Mao Anqing's son Mao Xinyu moved his parents' ashes back to his hometown in Hunan and buried them in the Yang Kaihui Martyrs Cemetery.
Before his death, Mao Anqing did not spend many days with his mother, and after his death, he was finally able to return to his mother and sleep in Yang Kaihui's cemetery.
