Kong Linghua reflected on his wife's problems, and Li Min enjoyed the treatment of deputy military rank
On September 9, 1996, the news of the death of the chairman shook the whole country and the whole world mourned. When the bad news came, countless people were immersed in deep grief, and Li Min was no exception.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Li Min was unable to accompany her father through the last journey of her life, and even from his illness to his death, she only saw his father three times.
This regret will always be with Li Min.
In November 1936, Chairman ** led the Red Army to Baoan County in northern Shaanxi, and it was also during this difficult period that ** and He Zizhen's daughter Li Min were born.
Due to malnutrition and war, little Li Min was thin and small. Her mother, He Zizhen, like the Red Army soldiers, suffered from the war and was even injured many times in the bombing of enemy planes.
Deng Yingchao has no children under his knees, so he likes this little girl very much, holds her in his arms, and sighs: "What a little petite baby, a little petite girl!" Even *** praised: "It's really a Jiaojiao." ”
As a result, Li Min got the name "Jiaojiao", and later some people called her "Mao Jiaojiao" or "He Jiaojiao". A few months later, He Zizhen left China for the Soviet Union, and Li Min was left in Yan'an to live alone.
Soon after, she was sent to a nursing home in Los Angeles to live without a father and mother. Despite the difficult living environment, Jiaojiao always lived strongly, until she officially changed her name to Li Min and started a new life.
She was a special girl who did not recognize her mother until she was 4 years old. In 1940, under the arrangement of her father, Jiaojiao embarked on a journey full of unknowns with her daughter Zhu Min and other four children, and they were going to the Soviet Union.
After some twists and turns, she finally met her mother. More than 50 years have passed, but she still remembers the scene of that meeting vividly, which has become her most cherished memory.
When He Zizhen saw her daughter she hadn't seen for many years, she deliberately asked over and over again: "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Jiaojiao replied: "I am Jiaojiao, I came to find my mother." ”
What's mom's name? "Mom's name is He Zizhen. "What kind of gift did you bring for your mother?" "I brought Jiaojiao to my mother. Every time they think about it, Li Min and He Zizhen feel extremely happy.
Although Jiaojiao's childhood did not have much happiness, she grew up in hardship, which is also a great wealth in her life.
When Jiaojiao was fortunate to reunite with her mother and enjoy the warmth of family affection, the Soviet-German war broke out, and life and production in the Soviet Union fell into chaos. Jiaojiao and her mother, He Zizhen, live in an unheated house, and the cold temperature makes them shiver.
What's even more difficult is that the materials are extremely scarce, and they can only barely make ends meet every day. As the war continued to escalate, Jiaojiao and her mother He Zizhen, as well as the entire Soviet people, were drawn into the whirlpool of war.
In the face of the war, the Soviet Union actively resisted the war on the one hand, and on the other hand, established an "International Children's Hospital" to take in the children of revolutionaries and communists from all over the world.
Jiaojiao and her half-brother Mao Anqing and Mao Anying met here, and their acquaintance made Jiaojiao feel very happy, and finally had a little friend to play. Xiao Jiaojiao and her brother played and ate together, and although they were in a foreign country, they also felt the hard-won family warmth.
However, this happy day did not last long, and their lives were turned upside down. Her mother, He Zizhen, went to study at the Eastern University in the Soviet Union, and in order to give her a better life, she was sent to study at the International Children's Institute.
In the auditorium of the International Children's Hospital, Li Min and her mother, He Zizhen, looked at the photos of Marx, Lenin, Engels and other Communist leaders hanging on the wall, including the portrait of ***.
However, at this moment, Jiaojiao did not know that this person was her father. One day, Jiaojiao and her brother Mao Anqing were playing in the auditorium. Suddenly, Mao Anqing pointed to the portrait on the wall and asked Jiaojiao: "Do you know, this person is our father." ”
At first, Jiaojiao didn't believe it. But looking at his serious look, she had to believe it. Jiaojiao was too young when she left her father, and she didn't have much impression of her father, and she couldn't remember his face.
In 1948, Jiaojiao, her brother Mao Anqing, and mother He Zizhen returned to China under Wang Jiaxiang's arrangement, ending their once unbearable life.
After arriving in Harbin, many people said that her father was the *** in the portrait After returning home, Jiaojiao quietly asked her mother: **Is it her father?
Jiaojiao read your letter and was very happy. You are my biological daughter, and I am your biological father. You must have grown taller by now. Dad misses you very much, likes you very much, welcomes you and hopes you will come to Dad as soon as possible. ”
Before the letter could be sent, it became an urgent telegram. He Zizhen translated the telegram into Russian and let her daughter Jiaojiao listen to it. Jiaojiao was very excited when she heard this, because she found out that her father missed her very much.
In 1949, Aunt He Yi came to Beiping with Jiaojiao and came to ***'s side. She saw *** tall and burly, and kind and kind, which was the *** she saw in the portrait
Jiaojiao couldn't help but pounce on him, shouting "Dad" softly, and came to her father's warm and tall embrace. ** also picked up his daughter, who he hadn't seen for many years, and shouted: "Jiaojiao, my little Jiaojiao." ”
The two of them are immersed in the long-lost family fun. Jiaojiao discovers that her father is not as serious as in the portrait, but a big father full of tenderness and warmth.
Reuniting with his daughter made *** very happy, and he said when he met people: "I have an extra talking baby at home." ”
The days in Xiangshan Villa are the best memories of Jiaojiao's life. However, such happiness did not last. With the birth of the new regime, Jiaojiao followed her father to the mysterious Zhongnanhai.
In the blink of an eye, she has reached the age of going to school and is about to become a member of the Girls' High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University. **After careful consideration, it was decided to give Jiaojiao a scientific name.
When he flipped through the "Liren" chapter in the Analects, he was deeply moved by the sentence "A gentleman wants to accept his words and be sensitive to his actions", so he decided to name his daughter Li Min.
This scientific name not only has more intimacy and harmony with his half-sister Li Ne, but also out of consideration for family harmony. In 1954, Li Min was already an 18-year-old girl, she was keenly aware of the complexity of family relationships, and had a deep empathy for her father's longing for her mother.
Li Min, an introverted girl from the Department of Chemistry at Beijing Normal University, became an emotional bond between her parents because of her father's instructions and her mother's thoughts. She goes to Shanghai every winter and summer vacation to visit her mother He Zizhen, and through her, she learned about He Zizhen's recent life, and He Zizhen also learned about the latest status of He Zizhen through her.
Every time Li Min goes to visit her mother, ** will personally prepare Beijing's local products for her, and every time Li Min goes back to Beijing, her mother will ask her to bring her favorite fruits and vegetables.
In school, Li Min was as dignified and quiet as a "princess", and perfectly inherited the handsomeness of her parents. Although she seems introverted, the fire of youth burns inside her.
As a girl who has received a foreign education and eaten foreign bread, Li Min is silently dating her boyfriend.
Kong Linghua, the son of General Kong Congzhou, was her classmate at the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics. Even after dating Kong Linghua, she still focuses on learning and ideals. When Kong Linghua's grades were poor, she said that if her grades did not improve, they would reduce or even stop interacting.
As a result, she put a lot of effort into her studies, and her grades have improved greatly. Then, she disclosed her relationship with Kong Linghua to her father. Her father was very happy about her relationship with Kong Linghua and supported her to decide her marriage independently.
At the same time, she also raised the matter with her mother, who agreed, but she hoped that she would focus on her studies first, as there might be fewer opportunities to study in the future. She agreed with her mother's idea and decided to postpone the marriage.
Under the auspices of *** and Kong Congzhou, Kong Linghua and Li Min tied the knot on August 29, 1959. This wedding not only allowed Kong Linghua to meet his supreme leader's in-laws, but also allowed him to experience unprecedented glory and tension.
Li Min and Kong Linghua lived in Zhongnanhai after marriage, and gave birth to a white and chubby boy the following year, ** named him Kong Jining. However, they decided to set up their own doors and move out of Zhongnanhai, and received the understanding and support of ***.
In 1964, Li Min's family moved to an ordinary house in Bingmasi Hutong, although she could not enter and leave Zhongnanhai casually, but every time she wanted to see her father, she had to contact the staff in advance and wait for the report.
This year's experience made Li Min more determined in her life direction, she became a soldier, and received the help and care of many comrades and leaders.
04 **Regret and grief after his deathIn 1976, the chairman of a generation of great men left us. She said to her friend: "I really envy those people who can always be by my father's side, and every time I want to see my father, I need to go through many cumbersome procedures, it's so difficult!" ”
This was the last time Li Min saw her father, and that day, she saw that his father in the hospital bed was pale and weak, but his consciousness was still clear. He recognized his daughter, held her hand tightly and said, "Jiaojiao, you have come to see me......."Li Min had a stomach of things to say in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod his head constantly.
Then he took her hand again and said, "Jiaojiao, why don't you come to see me often?" Li Min wanted to cry happily with his father, but in the end, he could only quietly use trembling hands to put his father's weak big hand on his chest.
On the second day after seeing his father, the ** General Office sent someone to take Li Min to Zhongnanhai. Along the way, her heart was full of uneasiness and reluctance, and something seemed to be bursting in her chest.
When Li Min saw her father lying on the bed, the white sheet on his body covering his face, her heart was full of pain and grief. She trembled and pounced on him, trying to grab his father's hands, but no matter how much she shouted, he didn't respond.
The death of her father hit Li Min very hard, and she seemed to have become a different person, and she completely broke down mentally. In order to commemorate his father, Li Min specially vacated a large house and set up a mourning hall.
In front of the portrait of ***, there is a wreath composed of flowers, and the white ribbon reads: Inherit Dad's revolutionary legacy forever. Daughter Li Min and son-in-law Ling Hua led Jining and Dongmei to pay tribute to their father.
He Zizhen, a generation of female revolutionaries, was bedridden for a long time due to a stroke in 1977, and her physical condition was sometimes good and sometimes bad. In 1984, she finished her life peacefully accompanied by her daughter Li Min.
Li Min was by her mother's side in the last stage of her life and made up for many regrets. After the two revolutionary old men left, Li Min rarely went out, and lived a simple and quiet life in front of his parents' statues and mourning halls all day long.
Her life is simple, and she is reluctant to lose even the leftovers from the previous two days. Others suggested that she change out of her old military uniform, but she said: "You can wear all the clothes, it's a pity to throw them away." ”
However, Li Min's simplicity in life did not affect her generosity. In order to build the statue, she donated more than 3,000 yuan. This generosity and selflessness have made people have a deeper respect for this great revolutionary.
The core idea of the new copy: Although Li Min is simple in life, she shows generosity and selflessness in charity, which makes people full of admiration for her.
Li Min told her daughter: "Do you know, the reason why I can come up with so much money is because I usually save money. Our hometown parents and villagers are not wealthy, and we need money to cast a statue of my father.
Moreover, as the daughter of ***, I should contribute to my hometown. "For ordinary people, more than 3,000 yuan may not be nothing, but in that era, especially Li Min, who has not worked for a long time, she must have saved for a long, long time.
Did you know that Li Min was not assigned to work from 1977 to 1996? During this period, her husband Kong Linghua also persuaded her to go out for a walk, but she never went.
In 1996, Kong Linghua reported Li Min's problem to the organization. Soon, the General Political Department gave Kong Linghua a **, saying that the Military Commission had approved his application, and from 1996, Li Min could enjoy the treatment of deputy military rank.
With the care and support of ***, Li Min has passed the trough of his life. However, just as she regained her confidence, fate presented her with a new challenge. In 1999, on the way to participate in activities related to ***, Kong Linghua suffered a car accident and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
During the operation, he died of a sudden heart attack. Faced with the grief of losing her husband, Li Min suffered another heavy blow. This time, however, she quickly picked herself up and faced life with optimism.
This is the daughter of a great man, who has inherited the tenacious will of a great man......
