Once, an old classmate Zhou Shizhao asked *** whether Anying's death was related to Mr. Peng's failure to fulfill his responsibilities? The chairman was silent for a long time, and Zhou Shizhao suddenly regretted this question, but ***'s answer still showed the demeanor of a generation of leaders.
**The friendship with Zhou Shizhao spanned half a century, from the storm to the great cause of the founding of the country to the prosperity of all kinds of wastes, **led the revolutionary army step by step to victory, and Zhou Shizhao also sat all the way to the position of vice governor of Hunan Province with his talent. In 1913, Mao Zhou and the two were admitted to the Hunan Fourth Normal at the same time, and the school was merged into the First Normal School the following year, and the two were assigned to the same class. Two like-minded people eat and sleep together, and even sleep on a wooden board to keep warm when it's cold, establishing a deep friendship.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye, although the two have occasionally exchanged letters during the war, but they have not met much, until the liberation of Changsha in 1949, when Zhou Shizhao was already the first normal principal of Hunan, sent a telegram to *** to celebrate, and the exchanges between the two began to increase. On the National Day in 1950, ** invited Zhou Shizhao to watch the ceremony, and then met at ***'s house, which was also the first time the two met after the revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan.
Later, during Zhou Shizhao's study in Beijing, he visited *** again, and the two friends met each other, talking about national and family affairs, and talking happily. As the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea entered a new stage, the two couldn't help but chat a little more. In the gap between the words, Zhou Shizhao mentioned the sacrifice of his eldest son on the battlefield"Is this a matter that Mr. Peng has not fulfilled his responsibility to protect? "
Regarding Mao Anying's matter, ** has always been very sad. At that time, when ** learned the news of Mao Anying's sacrifice, he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to report it, and finally wrote:"Today, the General Headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteers was bombed by enemy planes, and Comrade Mao Anying unfortunately died. "In just three crosses, it took an hour to determine. When the telegram reached Beijing, in order to avoid distraction, he waited until the retreat of the US army in the third campaign before sending the telegram to *** through Ye Zilong, which was already after New Year's Day in 1951. It is said that after receiving the telegram, ** read it for a long time, and for a while there was hardly any sound in the house, and finally said with grief:"War, there must always be **. "
Faced with Zhou Shizhao's question, ** fell into memories again, frowning. Zhou Shizhao immediately realized that he was a little abrupt, although he was a confidant and friend, but he really faced such a sensitive issue, and there was still some embarrassment between the two. After a pause, ** said:"The Korean War was a war to defend the homeland and the country, and I strongly advocated sending troops, and this proposal was also supported by ***, but who to send? As long as there is a war, there will be **, if everyone does not want their families to go to war, who will defend the country? "
Anying is a young man, not only my son, but also an ordinary son. After he came back from studying in the Soviet Union, he did not fight a war and endure hardships, which was far from enough, so I sent him. "
Kishi Young is my good son"Then his voice began to choke a little, immersed in the memories of the past, which was a father's great miss for his son.
As for whether it is the responsibility of ***, ** is not mixed with personal feelings. As soon as I received the message, ** said:"War, there must always be **. "If it's a war, there will be **, and there will be a son to sacrifice. If the DPRK is not helped, after the US imperialists occupy the Korean Peninsula, China will be in danger, and the people of the whole country may return to misery again, and the fruits of the revolution will be stolen. Speaking of *** bluntly:"There is no responsibility, and if anyone blames him, it is also incorrect. "
As the eldest son of ***, Mao Anying's death did a lot of harm to ***. At the end of January 1951, considering the pain of losing his eldest son, he was deliberately arranged to recuperate for a period of time, but due to the tense war, it was not until the evening of March 2 that he set off for Shijiazhuang and lived in the Shijiazhuang Nursery School at that time. Although nominally resting, ***'s work is still the same as before, dealing with national affairs and the anti-rebellion movement. On April 27, ** returned to Beijing, and the work was on the right track.
Mao Anying's sacrifice is not only a scar of ***, but also the grief of the people of the whole country. We can't understand the feeling of *** at that time, but a sentence"War, there must always be **. ", which contains the endless love of the older generation of revolutionaries for the country and the small family.
