Li Min, Li Ne, Liu Siqi, and Shao Hua toasted each other.
On November 23, 2006, this day was the 83rd birthday of Mao Anqing, the second son of ***, and his family held a birthday banquet for him, but only invited some relatives, such a gathering is very rare. It was at the birthday banquet that we saw our daughters Li Min and Li Ne and sisters-in-law Shao Hua and Liu Siqi toasting each other and taking a group photo.
In the eyes of ***, these four people are his "daughters". Since his death in 1976, his children have rarely appeared in public, and they follow their father's teachings to live like ordinary people and not be special. There is a detail in this **, everyone is dressed plainly and unpretentiously, only Shao Hua is wearing a military uniform, and her military rank is major general.

For a long time, people may not know much about Shao Hua, but in fact, she and Liu Siqi are half-sisters, and her mother is Zhang Wenqiu. To a certain extent, Shao Hua and Mao Anqing came together because of Zhang Wenqiu's matchmaking. Mao Anqing's physical condition has always been bad, when he and his brother Mao Anying were wandering on the streets of Shanghai, they were hit the head, leaving behind an unsatisfactory disease, and they had a splitting headache as soon as they were stimulated.
In the autumn of 1959, Mao Anqing returned from the Soviet Union for treatment again, and later came to Dalian to recuperate. At this time, Mao Anqing was 36 years old and still had no girlfriend, and the people around him were quite anxious. ** He is very open-minded about his children's marriage and encourages them to love freely, so he is not in a hurry about Mao Anqing's marriage.

At this time, Zhang Wenqiu took his daughter Shao Hua, who was on winter vacation, to Dalian to visit Mao Anqing, who was studying at Peking University at the time. According to insiders, Zhang Wenqiu's move had the intention of "arranging a blind date for the two", and he never thought that the two young people would fall in love at first sight, and the two kept writing letters after that.
After this matter was learned by ***, he asked someone to bring Mao Anqing a handwritten letter. ** wrote: "Your sister-in-law Siqi and her sister Shaohua (i.e. Shao Hua) have come to see you, she is very concerned about your condition, and you should receive them well. I heard that you have exchanged a lot of letters with Shaohua, haven't you? Do you mean to be friends? Shaohua is a good child, you can talk to her, there is a letter, send it to Siqi, Shaohua bring it back. ”

**'s handwritten letter gave Mao Anqing a lot of confidence, and the meaning expressed was also very clear, that is, to encourage Mao Anqing to pursue Shao Hua. In April 1960, 37-year-old Mao Anqing and 22-year-old Shao Hua held a wedding in Dalian. Regarding the process from falling in love with Mao Anqing to getting married, Shao Hua recalled and said:
On the one hand, there is love, because I am also sympathetic to his whole experience, and it is also a life of suffering, and I myself have been in prison, I have been in prison since I was a child, and I have lived in enemy prison for eight years, and my father also died in prison, so there is both love, and mutual sympathy, mutual support, encouragement, such a mood. After we got married in 1960, of course, my father encouraged us and cared for us, hoping that we could have a support and sustenance for each other. ”
Shao Hua. The wedding of the two was simple and simple, ** was not present, and Guo Shushen, the first secretary of the CPC Municipal Committee, personally presided over the wedding, and he wished the two a happy marriage. Shao Hua spoke on behalf of Mao Anqing, and she expressed her concern for the leading comrades of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee for Mao Anqing. Shao Hua said: "I and Anqing sincerely love each other, our union is only the beginning of a long journey of love, the road of life has sunshine and wind and rain, but as long as we work together, love each other, we will be able to overcome any difficulties and create a better future." ”
On January 17, 1970, Shao Hua gave birth to a son. Because it is the first child, the fetus has a large head and is at risk of dystocia. Hospital leaders were also worried, and immediately reported to *** and asked about the priority of dealing with danger when it occurred. **The first time to give instructions, asking the doctor to do his best, "Both must stay." ”
