Wang Guangmei invited her grandson back to China
In order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of ***, the important documentary "**" of the TV station "** entered the filming stage. The staff plans to travel to Russia to explore the historical footprints of *** in the region.
When the news reached the ears of the *** family, 77-year-old Wang Guangmei remembered a past incident and made a decision that the staff did not understand: she entrusted Huang Zheng, deputy director of the second editorial research department, to Russia with 500 US dollars.
After experiencing the vicissitudes of history, Wang Guangmei devoted herself to charity in her later years, but her physical condition was not as good as before, and she rarely appeared in the public eye. So, who is going to give the $500 to?
The recipient of the money is named Alyosha and is a 43-year-old Russian man. Despite the fact that Alyosha looks more like a Russian in appearance, he also has a special identity: the grandson of **.
Wang Guangmei asked Huang Zheng to find Alyosha for only one reason: to let him go home and have a look.
Wang Guangmei received a letter with unfamiliar handwriting, opened it, and called her "my dearest grandmother". In the letter, Alyosha said affectionately: "My roots are in China, and I will always be a member of the Liu family!" ”
Readers may have a lot of questions about this: Why is there a Russian grandson? Since he is the blood of the Liu family, why didn't he return to China? And few people in the country know about it.
After being invited by Wang Guangmei this time, what decision will Alyosha make? Will he really come back? Below, we will unveil the path of Alyosha, the grandson of the Liu family, to find his roots.
In the Soviet Union, Liu Yunbin's classmates, including Mao Anying, Mao Anqing, and Zhu Min, the daughter of **, lived a stable life. However, the outbreak of the Soviet-German war changed all that.
The children barely survived, and Zhu Min was even imprisoned in a concentration camp for four years. Despite this, these children have won the admiration of the people with their tenacity and determination.
In contrast, Liu Yunbin, who herded cattle and cultivated the land in the countryside in his early years, put in more effort to keep up with the progress of the school's curriculum. He studied hard and completed the course that would have taken ten years in just five years.
After graduating from secondary school, he entered Moscow Iron and Steel Institute and then Moscow State University, focusing on industrial construction and nuclear energy. During this time, Liu Yunbin met the beautiful Soviet girl Mara Fedotova.
They shared common ambitions and interests and soon came together. During the "honeymoon period" between China and the Soviet Union, their love blossomed and came to fruition and entered the palace of marriage. This marriage gave Liu Yunbin endless warmth and love.
Although Liu Yunbin has spent 16 years in a foreign country, he has always been aware that the call of the motherland and the people will one day return to China. **'s "summoning letter" strengthened his belief.
Eventually, he took his wife and children back to his homeland. This experience not only reflects Liu Yunbin's indomitable spirit, but also shows his deep attachment to the motherland.
His story inspires every Chinese, no matter when and where, not to forget their roots and the call of the motherland.
Original: Because of this "summoning letter", Liu Yunbin must make a choice. His wife, Mara, is not a housewife, she is also a great scientist.
Her native Soviet Union is "competing" with the Americans in the field of science and technology, and it is unlikely that a talent in the field of atomic energy like her will immediately leave everything behind and follow Liu Yunbin to live in China.
And the two children are still so young, it is impossible to leave their mother. Considering such a situation, Zhang Wentian, the Chinese ambassador to the Soviet Union at that time, kindly persuaded Liu Yunbin: "You can stay and work in the Chinese delegation to the Soviet Union!"
Your father will understand later! For this kind arrangement, Liu Yunbin refused. In fact, just before Zhang Wentian persuaded him, the high-level officials in the Soviet atomic energy field also offered him preferential treatment to keep him.
Liu Yunbin's answer was: "I have always regarded the Soviet Union as my second hometown......But I can't help but go back, because my impoverished country needs my ...... more than everI'm sure you'll understand this feeling. ”
Yes, Yoo thinks Mara will understand her. Just as he understood that Mara could not leave the Soviet Union. Two: In the period when the mother and son (daughter) of the Soviet Union were in ruins in New China, Liu Yunbin really had no choice!
In fact, after returning to China, he didn't think that his marriage would come to an end at first. After all, their feelings are so good; After all, they already have two children.
He believes that their love can withstand the test of distance. That's what Mara thought at first. After persuading her husband to stay in the Soviet Union in vain, she also traveled thousands of miles to China to visit her grandfather and grandmother in 1958 with her children.
At that time, she already had the idea of living in China. However, it didn't take long for subtle changes to begin to take place in Sino-Soviet relations. Mara and Liu Yunbin are aware of this.
Eventually, after some struggle, Mara had to make a decision: divorce her husband and live in the Soviet Union with her two children. A marriage that was once enviable came to an end.
This is Mara's choice, and Liu Yunbin can only accept it. At that time, the couple only hoped that Sino-Soviet relations would return to normal as soon as possible, and that even if they could no longer continue their relationship, at least the children would be able to return to their father.
The former family is looking forward to it like this.
Liu Yunbin's research life at the Institute of Atomic Energy is quite focused, and his scientific research achievements are very outstanding, he participated in the establishment of the third research laboratory of the China Institute of Atomic Energy, and served as the director.
His dedication and dedication are impressive, and this spirit was also present to Mao Anying back then. However, his family was under the surveillance of the KGB in the Soviet Union. In order to protect the child, Mara is forced to let the child take her surname, and the family never mentions her relationship with China.
Despite this, the two children grew up healthy under Mara's careful care. In particular, his son Alyosha, inheriting the talents of his parents, was admitted to the Moscow Aviation Institute, and after graduation entered the Soviet Space Agency.
Original text: During the whole process of the children's growth, China and the Soviet Union have been in a period of hostility. During this period, Mara and her two children almost completely lost contact with China.
Until the mid-80s of the last century, Sino-Soviet relations began to slowly recover. In 1987, Wang Guangmei began to inquire about Mara and the children. She had always hoped that one day she would be able to reunite with them in Beijing.
At Wang Guangmei's suggestion, the children's aunt, Liu Aiqin, began to look for them. Liu Aiqin is Liu Yunbin's younger sister, and she witnessed the love of her brother and sister-in-law.
In order to find her sister-in-law's family, she took a lot of effort. After contacting Liu Aiqin, Mara's family learned that Liu Yunbin and ** had passed away. Later, at the invitation of Wang Guangmei, Mara came to China alone to pay tribute to her beloved.
At this time, the new China has ushered in the reform and opening up, and Mara is pleased with the changes in China. Everywhere he went, he would make a long-distance ** call to his son Alyosha and tell him everything he had seen in China.
Alyosha, the grandson of **, has always dreamed of going to China to see and pay homage to his father's grave. However, for various reasons, his wish never came true.
It wasn't until 1998 that after receiving the "call" from Wang Guangmei's grandmother, his idea of finding his roots became stronger. However, Alyosha had a difficult time returning. On the one hand, the confidentiality requirements of the unit are extremely high, and even if he applies to visit relatives abroad, it will only be realized after 3 years of retirement.
On the other hand, his mother has been in poor health, and he can't leave her to go to China. Later, her mother died of illness and her sister had her own family, and Alyosha applied for early retirement in order to realize her wish as soon as possible.
After several applications, it was finally approved by the higher authorities in 2003. At the beginning of that year, Alyosha walked into the Chinese Embassy in Russia with his passport, and when the receptionist asked him about the purpose of his trip, he said without hesitation: "I'm going to visit relatives!" ”
At the time, the staff were shocked because they had never heard of it. So, they took Alyosha's passport, walked into the back room of the office, and called ** to find the relevant departments for verification.
There was no doubt about the result: Alyosha was approved to enter China. In April 2003, Alyosha embarked on his way home, and his wife stayed by his side. In Beijing, Alyosha felt the warmth of family that she had never felt before.
His grandmother, Wang Guangmei, took a family of more than 30 people and held a family party especially for him. From aunts, uncles, to relatives he didn't recognize, every relative of the Liu family warmly welcomed him.
Although the vast majority of them have never met Alyosha, the flesh and blood relationship will never change.
Alyosha was taken back to her hometown in Hunan by her aunt to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. In his grandfather's hometown, Huaminglou Town, Ningxiang County, Hunan Province, he saw the villagers' admiration for his grandfather.
When his aunt told him that "your father has also lived here for more than ten years", his eyes filled with tears. The villagers took his hand and comforted him: "Don't cry, it's good if you're back!" ”
As she got to know her grandfather and father, Alyosha understood her father's choice more and more. Standing in front of the tomb of his grandmother He Baozhen, he heard about his grandmother's heroic deeds back then, was deeply touched, and fell deeply in love with this land and the people here.
As a result, Alyosha received a permanent residence permit in China and lived in Guangzhou for a long time. His two children were also influenced by their father, often traveling back and forth between China and Russia.
Alyosha often told the children: "You are the descendants of the Liu family. Alyosha, who is now over the age of six, has the greatest wish to contribute to the friendly relations between China and Russia.
He hopes to introduce "Made in China" to Russia and let Russians know about China. During his time in China, he learned to eat chili peppers and eat Chinese food. He always wore a watch on his wrist with a *** profile picture on it.
He said to others: "This was given to me by the *** memorial, and I am very proud." ”
On October 13, 2006, Wang Guangmei left us in Beijing, a news that deeply saddened Alyosha. Although the years have passed and taken away a lot of people and things, the inheritance of the Liu family has not been interrupted because of this.
In some recent interviews, Alyosha has confessed that as the grandson of ***, he feels a lot of pressure. He has been thinking about how to live up to the glory of this big family.
Just like his father, Yoo Yoon-bin, he has been trying to find answers.
