A name that you won't forget. His greatness lies not only in the fact that he led the people to overthrow the feudal monarchy and realize that the people are the masters of the country, but also in the fact that he sacrificed his family for the revolutionary cause.
His brothers and nephews all gave their lives in the revolutionary cause, and even few of his own children lived to adulthood. ** There are four sons, of which the brothers Mao Anying and Mao Anqing survived.
Mao Anying died heroically in the Korean War, so as the only surviving son of ***, what was Mao Anqing's life like later? What was his life like in his later years?
Let's explore his story together.
Mao Anqing, born in 1923, has lived a life of displacement with his brother Mao Anying and others since he was a child. His father *** and mother Yang Kaihui were busy with the revolutionary cause and ran for the revolution everywhere, so they had no time to take care of him.
At that time, the organization was facing a grim situation, and the Kuomintang targeted and brutalized important figures of our party everywhere, so that the young Mao Anqing lived an unstable life. However, it was in this environment that he and his brother Mao Anying were raised by an ex-wife of an underground party, funded by the organization, and lived a relatively stable life.
However, the twists and turns of life never stopped, and the fates of both of them changed as a result.
The childhood of the brothers Mao Anqing and Mao Anying was not all smooth sailing. Their schools were captured and destroyed by the enemy, their stations were destroyed, and the underground party organization suffered heavy losses.
As a result, the organization's funding was cut off, and their lives became increasingly difficult. Mao Anqing lost his mother and cut off contact with his father, and only a few elderly people in the family have died.
In this strange city and family, they have to live under the fence and watch people's eyes, and it is common for them to be ridiculed. In order to survive, the brothers Mao Anqing and Mao Anying began to wander the streets.
They have done all kinds of dirty work, running errands, selling newspapers, helping out, and even accepting handouts from others. However, although these jobs are hard, they don't earn much money, and sometimes they can't even fill their stomachs.
Mao Anqing was only a little over ten years old at the time, small and unfamiliar with life, and was often bullied by thugs on other streets, who robbed him of his hard-earned money. Once, Mao Anqing fought with someone because he couldn't bear it, but he was beaten all over his body, and the old injuries were not healed and new injuries were added.
Firm faith is like a beacon illuminating his way forward, but when he posted anti-imperialist slogans on the street, he was accidentally discovered and violently beaten, resulting in a serious head injury and sequelae.
The dark days lasted for five years, until they were rescued by all parties and contacted by the organization, **. The chairman deeply regretted and arranged for them to study in the Soviet Union. After returning to China after completing his studies, Mao Anqing worked in the Northeast, lived a low-key life, and was praised by the people around him because he was proficient in Russian and was responsible for translation work.
In 1960, under the mediation of the chairman, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua, who had an excellent personality, got married and had a child in 1970, and the chairman personally named him. This happy family made Mao Anqing's second half of his life a little less miserable.
Mao Anqing's later life was properly cared for and cared for, and his wife Shao Hua and his son paid great attention to his spiritual world, often accompanied him, and made him feel the warmth of the family.
Although Mao Anqing's health was not good, in his later years, he still paid attention to national events, actively read, participated in the establishment of patriotic education bases and publicized the party's ideology and culture. He has also translated many documents and made outstanding contributions to the field of Russian translation.
Considering his physical condition, the organization gave him the treatment of a member of the Politburo, but he resolutely refused, insisted on being diligent and thrifty, and did not want to add a burden to the organization.
His selfless dedication and noble sentiments are admirable.
Mao Anqing accepted this treatment at the repeated requests of the organization. Due to physical reasons, he needs to go to the hospital every few days for a follow-up**, which is a financial help for him and he deserves it.
However, he was never proud of it. He is not only strict with himself, but also often teaches his only son to be loyal and patriotic, to be diligent and thrifty, and not to use his status to do unreasonable things.
In March 2007, Mao Anqing finished his life at the age of 84. His life was full of hardships and challenges. He lost his mother at a young age, lost contact with his father during the war, and spent five years on the streets with his brother and was bullied.
He studied in the Soviet Union and lost his only brother when he returned home. Fortunately, ** chose a good wife for him, a happy marriage, so that he could spend the rest of his life with peace of mind and happiness.
