In people's minds, Li Min, the eldest daughter of the chairman, is often the most concerned, but you know what? In fact, she has two older sisters above her, and they are ill-fated.
Among them, the second daughter of ** was born on the Long March Road, and she didn't even have time to pick her name, so she was given to a stranger's house by He Zizhen, and she has not been heard from since.
The real eldest daughter, Mao Jinhua, was born in 1930, which coincided with the critical period of the revolutionary struggle, but she could only be fostered in the home of a shoemaker in Longyan, Fujian.
Mao Jinhua, the eldest daughter of **, her disappearance once made He Zizhen grief-stricken. Many years later, when an old Red Army returned to Longyan County, he unexpectedly got the news that Mao Jinhua was still alive, and he immediately reported it to He Minxue, then vice governor of Fujian Province.
When He Minxue learned the news, he was very happy and immediately sent people to Longyan County to find traces of Mao Jinhua. So, after forty years of separation, did Mao Jinhua really find it, and did she finally reunite with ***?
The story of Mao Jinhua begins in the winter of 1929, which was a special historical moment, when the Gutian Conference was held in Gutian Village, Shanghang County, Fujian Province, which was an important milestone in the history of the Red Army.
The Gutian Conference ended successfully, and the front committee of the Red Fourth Army immediately formulated a strategy for retreating from the enemy: ** led the Red.
The first, third, and fourth columns went to Liancheng, and ** led the second red column to lure the enemy deeper, and then went to Liancheng to meet **.
After the two armies converged, the Red Fourth Column carried out guerrilla warfare in western Fujian, and the main force returned to southern Jiangxi, forcing Jin Handing to return to the old nest in Jiangxi and rescue western Fujian. ** At the time of Liancheng, He Zizhen was nine months pregnant and could not follow the troops.
Therefore, ** asked Fu Baicui, commander of the fourth column of the Red Fourth Army, to assist in arranging He Zizhen's life, and then led the troops to Jiangxi with **.
**One day in 1930, as the secretary of the special committee of western Fujian, he saw that He Zizhen was about to give birth, so he did not hesitate to send her to Longyan Aihua Hospital to give birth.
Soon after, He Zizhen successfully gave birth to a lovely baby girl and stayed in the hospital for a week. Considering the urgency of the situation, in order to avoid exposure, ** left the hospital with the child.
He sent a letter to He Zizhen, suggesting that she foster the child to the local people's homes, and promised to take the child back after the victory of the revolution. He Zizhen understood that the current revolutionary situation was grim and it was too conspicuous to take the child around, so he entrusted *** to help find a family willing to accept the child.
** I was very concerned about this matter, and after several considerations, I found Weng Qinghe, a shoemaker who lived in Longyan Chengguan.
In the old society, the shoemaker Weng Qinghe has known *** for a long time. **When he was engaged in agricultural activities in Fujian, Weng Qinghe once helped him and handed over the child to *** to take care of, ** trusted him very much.
So, ** accompanied He Zizhen to Weng Qinghe's home with a baby who had just been born less than half a month old. After He Zizhen handed the child to Weng Qinghe's wife, Aunt Lin, she handed him a small basket containing 20 pieces of ocean, a silver collar, a pair of ankle rings, and several new clothes.
Weng Qinghe asked the child's name, and He Zizhen said with red eyes: "Let's call it Mao Jinhua." At the end of May 1930, He Zizhen received a notice to go to Jiangxi.
Before leaving Longyan, she made a special trip to Weng Qinghe's house to visit her daughter, and found that the Weng family took good care of the child, so she left with confidence. As her first child, He Zizhen felt very reluctant about this separation, but she firmly believed that she would definitely reunite with her child, because her husband had promised to come back to pick up the child in a few years, and she never doubted ***'s words.
Although he has been busy with military affairs, he has never forgotten that he also has a daughter Mao Jinhua in Longyan. So, he entrusted his second brother Mao ** to go to Longyan to find out the whereabouts of the child.
After Mao ** arrived in Longyan, he first found Lin Mingjun, chairman of the Longyan City District Soviet**, and found Weng Qinghe's residence through his introduction. Mao ** expressed his gratitude to Weng Qinghe, thanked him for his care over the years, and gave him 150 yuan of Koyo's living allowance.
However, when Mao ** proposed to take the child back, Weng Qinghe told him in a panic that the child died of a cold and had been buried by him at the back north gate. Although this news was unexpected by Mao **, he didn't ask much, just politely said goodbye to Weng Qinghe, and then went back to report the matter to his brother.
When *** learned the news of his daughter Mao Jinhua's death, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply and said, "What a pity! ”
Although Mao Jinhua was reported as "prematurely deceased", *** doubted it, he never forgot this incident and always kept it in his heart. In July 1951, it was decided to send a delegation to the old revolutionary base areas, with Xie Jueya, one of the "Five Elders of Yan'an", as the head of the delegation.
**After learning this news, he immediately found Xie Jueya and asked him to find out the whereabouts of Mao Jinhua by the way when he visited Longyan County. After Xie Jueya arrived in Longyan County, he immediately handed over the entrustment to County Magistrate Wu Chaofang.
The magistrate of Wu County attached great importance to it and immediately entrusted an old comrade named Li to conduct an investigation.
Weng Qinghe and his wife kept silent about Mao Jinhua's whereabouts, insisting that the child had died, and Li residents reluctantly accepted it. **After many investigations, Weng Qinghe and his wife always insisted that the child was dead, and their son Weng Shushu's statements were also inconsistent, and finally the matter was closed.
Due to family difficulties, Weng Qinghe took the initiative to write a letter to *** for help, sympathized with his situation, and sent him 3 million yuan of old coins through ***. However, the real situation of Mao Jinhua is still doubtful.
In 1971, an old Red Army named Luo Wanchang heard a news that made his heart excited: Yang Yuehua of the Longyan County Federation of Industry and Commerce may be the eldest daughter of Mao Jinhua!
In order to confirm the authenticity of this news, Luo Wanchang immediately asked the local villagers for details. According to the villagers, Yang Yuehua is the daughter of the "Mai Sizai" (Qiu Yingsong) family who opened the coal kiln, originally called "Qiu Yuehua", and was later changed by her mother to Yang's surname, and her husband worked in the county food bureau.
A few years ago, Yang Yuehua's aunt Zheng Qiu told her a secret, saying that she was not the biological daughter of "Mai Sizai", and her biological father should be an "old Red Army".
After hearing the news, Yang Yuehua immediately wrote a letter to the organization, asking the organization to investigate her background. After learning of this, Wei Jinshui, the governor of Fujian Province, thought that Yang Yuehua might be the eldest daughter Mao Jinhua who died young, so he personally organized a symposium on January 17, 1954, and invited Weng Qinghe, Yang Yuehua's adoptive mother Qiu Lanzai, and aunt Zheng Qiu to participate together.
During the symposium, Weng Qinghe no longer insisted on the claim that Mao Jinhua was dead, and changed his story to say that Yang Yuehua might be He Zizhen's eldest daughter Mao Jinhua, but Qiu Lanzai accused him of lying, claiming that Yang Yuehua was her own child.
However, the next day, Weng Qinghe changed his story and said that Mao Jinhua died of madness on the tenth day of June 1931. Because of Weng Qinghe's contradictory words, the organization visited his relatives, and it turned out that Weng's relatives did not know about this matter.
So, on March 16, the staff invited the elders of the Xinan Brigade to a meeting to discuss the matter. The old people attending the meeting generally believed that Yang Yuehua was not a descendant of the Red Army, and some even insisted that Yang Yuehua was conceived and born by Qiu Lanzai in October.
However, due to insufficient evidence and contradictory claims, the investigation of Yang Yuehua's life story has reached an impasse. After learning of Yang Yuehua's incident, Luo Wanchang immediately made a report to He Minxue, vice governor of Fujian Province.
Luo Wanchang and Zhang Huanan took over the investigation and found Weng Qinghe's widow Aunt Lin and son-in-law Su Yunhong to seek the truth. After in-depth persuasion and patient explanation, Aunt Lin finally opened up: "The little girl was abandoned by Weng Qinghe, and after the Red Army left, he has been very troubled.
Later, Yang Fengnian's troops came, and he felt that Mao... The chairman's daughter is a nuisance. So, he decided to abandon the little girl. We took advantage of the darkness to leave the little girl at the door of Boss Lin, who was selling soy sauce at the south gate.
Then, the little girl was picked up by Aunt Weng of Shibitou (prostitute hall). As for how the little girl ended up at Mai Sizai's house, I don't know. ”
Luo Wanchang and Zhang Huanan are looking for a woman named Weng Gu, the mother of the baby girl they are looking for. Aunt Weng's son, Mai Sanzai, told them that the money she earned in Shibitou could not support her family, so she often took him around begging.
One day, Boss Lin found Aunt Weng and gave her some money, hoping that she could help adopt a baby girl. After living in Mai Sanzai's house for more than a year, the baby girl was given by Aunt Weng to Zhang Xianzhi, who sold Shandong baked cakes at Touling Qiaotou, Longyan City.
However, Zhang Xianzhi is now deceased, and Luo Wanchang and Zhang Huanan are unable to obtain information from him. However, Mai Sanzai knew that Zhang Xianzhi's wife Sixth Aunt had a relative named Fu Sensheng, who often helped Zhang Xianzhi take care of the children.
Fu Sensheng had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and when he heard the intention of the two Red Army soldiers, he fell into memories. He told them that one evening in 1932, his mother took him to Zhang Xianzhi and said that Aunt Weng had recently adopted a girl, and now she was more than two years old and could walk, but she was a little thin because of lack of nutrition, and Aunt Weng didn't want the child to continue to suffer with her, so she wanted to ask Zhang Xianzhi if he wanted to adopt him.
Zhang Xianzhi readily agreed, but he had one more request: let Fu Sensheng come to work at his baked cake stall and take care of the girl at the same time. Because Fu Sensheng's mother knew that Zhang Xianzhi would not treat her son badly, she quickly agreed to this request.
In the old society, a 5-year-old girl was abandoned on the road by her parents. At this time, a kind woman saw this and suggested that she be handed over to Mai Sizai, who opened a coal kiln, to raise, and only need to pay 20 koyo child support.
Although Zhang Xianzhi knew something about Mai Sizai's family situation, he knew that Mai Sizai loved his son Yang Rongfu very much, so he gave the little girl to him with confidence.
When they heard the woman mention the names "Mai Si Zai" and "Qiu Lan Zai", Luo Wanchang and Zhang Huanan were full of excitement, and they knew that they had finally found a clue.
Luo Wanchang and Zhang Huanan quickly found Mai Sizai and his wife and told them the truth they had discovered. It turned out that when Mai Sizai brought a five-year-old girl to Qiu Lanzai's house, she did not welcome it.
But Mai Sizai said, "This little girl can be rationed to Yang Rongfu when she grows up, and the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders", so she agreed. After a period of getting along, Qiu Lanzai found that the little girl was smart and sensible, so she adopted her as an adopted daughter and named her "Qiu Yuehua", and at the age of 13, in order to commemorate her ex-husband, she changed her name to Yang Yuehua.
When Yang Yuehua grew up, Qiu Lanzai treated her like her own daughter, she was also very competitive, she joined the party in 1958, and became the party branch secretary two years later. In the end, they confirmed that Yang Yuehua was the Mao Jinhua of that year, and the two old Red Army soldiers were very happy about this, and they wrote an investigation report on the matter in early 1973 and submitted it to He Minxue.
He Minxue attached great importance to this, and he took the opportunity of going to Beijing for a meeting to hand over the report to the prime minister who had been paying attention to this matter.
When *** learned the news of ***'s eldest daughter, he immediately excitedly told the good news that *** was about to turn 80 years old, and he was also very happy after hearing the news, and eagerly asked *** girl in**.
**smiled and replied that the girl was still in Longyan,**nodded and smiled, and asked *** to instruct He Minxue to arrange a plane to send the girl to Beijing, and he hoped to see her.
However, the next morning, ** received news from *** that there were doubts about the girl's identity, and it was best to let her come from the folk to the folk and be taken care of by Hermione Xue.
Despite his bewilderment at the sudden change in ***, he did as the chairman requested. In order to confirm Yang Yuehua's identity, ** decided to let Mao Zetan's daughter-in-law Zhou Jianxia go to Fujian to investigate the matter.
Zhou Jianxia first went to Shanghai to find He Zizhen and confirmed Mao Jinhua's characteristics: she had black moles on her left foot and right knee. Then she immediately rushed to Longyan, Fujian, and came to Yang Yuehua's house with Luo Wanchang's daughter Luo Haiming and others, and confirmed that Yang Yuehua had black moles on her knees and two small black moles on her feet.
In addition, Yang Yuehua's forehead is very similar to ***, and her action form is also very similar to He Zizhen, Zhou Jianxia is convinced: Yang Yuehua is ***'s eldest daughter Mao Jinhua! According to the instructions of **, He Minxue did not immediately disclose this matter, he originally wanted to arrange for Yang Yuehua to go to Shanghai to meet He Zizhen, but He Zizhen was not in good health at that time, and He Minxue was worried that she would aggravate her condition, so he decided to wait for her to get better before arranging for their mother and daughter to reunite.
Although He Zizhen couldn't go to Longyan in person, he still entrusted his daughter Li Min and son-in-law Kong Linghua to go. Due to Yang Yuehua's special identity, Li Min could not recognize this sister who had never met, so she only entrusted the comrades of the county cultural bureau to notify Yang Yuehua, who was a secretary at the film workstation, and asked her to come to "introduce work".
When Yang Yuehua walked into Li Min's Minxi Hotel, she found that the female comrade who had been looking at her was a little "familiar", and she could see that the other party was not paying attention to her report at all.
However, they did not exchange a word. A few days later, Yang Yuehua went to Fuzhou and told He Minxue about it: "I recognized her during the report, she looks exactly like the Jiaojiao (Li Min) I saw in Zhou Jianxia's house." ”
He Minxue was very sorry for this and asked her why she didn't call Li Min's sister, but Yang Yuehua bluntly said that she was older, and if Li Min didn't call her sister, then she wouldn't call Li Min's sister either.
He Minxue understood Li Min's difficulties and sighed silently. At a meeting to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Red Fourth Army's entry into Fujian and the Gutian Conference, He Minxue publicly recognized Yang Yuehua's identity and made it widely known.
Unfortunately, until He Zizhen's death on April 19, 1984, Yang Yuehua was unable to see her mother, which became a big regret in her life. In 1993, the founding general General Xiao Ke personally went to Fujian to meet with Yang Yuehua, in the conversation, General Xiao Ke suggested that Yang Yuehua restore the surname "Mao", but Yang Yuehua politely declined, saying that he was over sixty years old, there is no need to go through the procedures for changing the name, and the procedures are cumbersome, there is no need to change.
Mao Jinhua (Yang Yuehua): In the life of the great leader, ten sons and daughters were born, and their fates were different, some died young, some lost contact, some died heroically for the country, some chose to live an ordinary life, and some contributed to the development of New China in obscurity.
The personal choices and sacrifices of these sons and daughters are also one of the reasons why the people deeply miss them.
