Mao Anqing is still single at the age of 37
Preface
Chairman Mao always felt guilty about An Qing.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao once said: "I sympathize with An Qing very much. He and Anying have not been with me since childhood and have suffered a lot!"
Mao Anqing was severely beaten by the reactionary police when he was young, which left root diseases in his body. Coupled with various things that happened later, An Qing's character became more introverted, and her marriage was never settled.
Chairman Mao was also very concerned about his son's life. When he had time, he would chat with An Qing and enlighten him: Don't have any ideological burden just because he is my son.
Anqing's marriage events
In 1960, An Qing, who had always worried about Chairman Mao, finally got married to Shao Hua in Dalian, ending his many years of single life.
Due to Chairman Mao's official duties, he was unable to attend his son's wedding, but he still sent his blessings and gifts.
Chairman Mao was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law Shao Hua. In his original letter to An Qing, he wrote: Shao Hua is a good girl.
Next, let’s take a look at how Chairman Mao responded to the fact that Mao Anqing was still single at the age of 37.
Mao Anqing was born in Changsha, Hunan Province in November 1923. Like his elder brother Anying, he spent his childhood in hardship. As a child, An Qing actually didn't have a deep impression of his father.
Because Chairman Mao was carrying out a revolutionary cause and fighting for the liberation of the country and the nation.
When An Qing was born, Chairman Mao happened to be in Changsha. For this reason, during this period, Chairman Mao would go home to see his wife and children as long as he had free time.
However, in the revolutionary era, no one can guarantee that they can stay in one place for a long time. After An Qing was one month old, Chairman Mao received a notice from the organization asking him to go to Shanghai for work and to Guangzhou to attend the first National Congress of the Kuomintang.
When An Qing was young, he and his father spent time together and away from each other. Every time because of work, Chairman Mao could not stay with him for a long time.
Despite this, Chairman Mao is still very concerned about An Qing.
Many years later, Anqing returned to his hometown in Shaoshan and recalled his father's education for him: "When I was a child, I planned a porcelain cup. My father did not criticize me. Instead, he explained to me that it takes a long time for a porcelain cup to turn from clay into porcelain. How many processes and how much sweat do workers need to sweat?”
It is precisely because of this that Mao Anqing was educated by Chairman Mao from an early age and developed the habit of thrift!
Compared with his father, Mao Anqing had a very deep impression on his mother, Yang Kaihui. From being a swaddling baby to learning to walk and talk, they all grow up under the tug of the mother.
When Chairman Mao was away, his mother was always by his side. For this reason, he had a very deep affection for his mother. Decades later, he came to Itakura's former residence and wrote the three characters "Yang Anqing" on his signature book to express his memory for his mother.
For An Qing, the past is hard to look back on. In 1930, when Mao Anqing was seven years old, Yang Kaihui was persecuted by reactionary forces.
The death of their mother was undoubtedly a blow to An Qing and An Ying. But no matter what, life must go on. Anying was imprisoned like her mother at that time, and later, with the help of our people, she was successfully rescued.
In the winter of 1930, in order to prevent the three brothers An Qing, An Ying and An Long from being persecuted by Kuomintang agents, the party organization transferred them to Shanghai.
However, such stable days did not last long. Due to the betrayal of traitors, the underground party organization was severely damaged. For this reason, the three brothers began to live on the streets, and their lives fell into trouble.
In the old society of Shanghai, people of various forces were entrenched here. The three brothers struggled at the bottom of society, suffering both physically and mentally.
Mao Anlong unfortunately passed away due to illness, leaving only Mao Anying and Mao Anqing to depend on each other.
In order to survive, An Qing and Anying had to find ways to work.
One day, Mao Anqing was selling newspapers on the street when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "The remaining bandits in southern Jiangxi have been wiped out, and the pseudo-commander Mao Zetan has been killed..."
After Mao Anqing learned the news, he was shocked and rushed over to read. He indeed saw the news of his uncle's murder in the newspapers.
An Qing was very angry at the time and didn't know how to avenge this revenge. His mother and uncle were both persecuted by the reactionaries, so he remembered what his mother had taught him to write: Down with imperialism.
For this reason, Mao Anqing expressed all his anger in his actions and wrote six big characters on a telephone pole.
After finishing writing, Mao Anqing was about to leave, but was suddenly attacked by the reactionary Kuomintang police. At this critical moment, Mao Anying rushed over and hugged her brother tightly.
But by this time Mao Anqing had already passed out, and with the help of kind-hearted people, he sent Anying and Anqing to a ruined temple. Although Mao Anqing recovered under the care of his brother, the root of the disease remained in his body, and he often had a dull pain in his head.
However, with the efforts of the party organization, the two brothers Anying and Anqing were finally found. In early 1937, the two were sent to study and live in the Soviet Union.
Compared with their previous experiences in Shanghai, An Qing and An Ying thought their days in the Soviet Union were very beautiful.
It is precisely because of their previous miserable wandering experience in Shanghai that they cherished the days of studying in the Soviet Union.
Since Yang Kaihui's death, Chairman Mao has been inquiring about the whereabouts of his children. Chairman Mao missed his children, so how could they not miss their father.
I think back when An Qing and Anying were still in Shanghai, Anying saw a piece of news in the newspaper one day: Chairman Mao had transferred to northern Shaanxi! After Anying learned the news, he happily said to his brother: "Don't look at it, the Kuomintang said a lot in the newspapers, but in fact dad is still safe and sound..."
After Anying and Anqing arrived in the Soviet Union, they contacted Chairman Mao again.
At that time, Anying and Anqing often wrote letters to Chairman Mao to express their longing for their father. Chairman Mao felt very guilty about these two students, so he would write to them whenever he had time to learn about their studies.
With Chairman Mao's encouragement and their own hard work, they achieved very good results during their studies in the Soviet Union. After graduating from school, Mao Anqing successfully admitted to Eastern University and continued his studies.
In 1946, Anying returned to China first and told his father about his younger brother. After Chairman Mao learned about An Qing's situation, he wrote him a letter:
In 1947, Mao Anqing chose to return to China and then worked as a Russian translator in the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. An Qing's translation skills were also recognized by the staff at the time. It can be said that An Qing had a smooth start in his career.
If there is anything that makes him more sad, it is love!
In fact, as early as when he was studying in the Soviet Union, a foreign girl also pursued him, but he did not want to marry a foreigner, so he rejected her.
Just when Mao Anqing was worrying about love, a love affair quietly came to him!
Shao Hua is a good girl
When talking about An Qing's love, we have to mention his brother An Ying. After Anying returned to China, she married Liu Siqi and received the blessings of both parents.
An Qing has a deep brotherhood with his brother. An Qing's sister-in-law Siqi has a half-sister Shao Hua.
The mother of Liu Siqi and Shao Hua is Zhang Wenqiu, who is also an old revolutionary worker.
When Shao Hua followed his mother to the Soviet Union, he was detained by reactionary forces when passing through Xinjiang. In June 1945, with the efforts of our party, the detained revolutionaries were also released.
After Zhang Wenqiu and his daughter arrived in Yan'an, they were naturally received cordially by Chairman Mao and other leading comrades.
After Liu Siqi and Mao Anying got married, Shao Hua, as his younger sister, often went to play with her sister, and sometimes met Chairman Mao. Shao Hua himself liked literature, and in 1959 he was successfully admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University.
Everyone also knows that Chairman Mao is very interested in history and literature, and for this reason he sometimes communicates with Shao Hua.
One day, Chairman Mao talked about the book "Journey to the West" with Liu Siqi and Shao Hua, and expressed that he admired Sun Wukong's courageous character and courageous fight against demons. In this conversation, Chairman Mao also understood that Shao Hua had his own understanding of literature, although it was somewhat immature.
But my impression of Shao Hua is also very good.
It was during this period that Mao Anqing also met this talented girl. Shao Hua often looked for his sister, and An Qing often looked for his brother, so the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Shao Hua also had a good impression of Mao Anqing. She once recalled: "Anqing is amazing. He knows many kinds of musical instruments. When we play with him, we feel very happy..."
However, fate is fickle. Just when everything was going well, news of the sacrifice of Anying came from the Korean battlefield.
It turned out that Anqing had the root cause of the disease, and after hearing the news of his brother's death, it dealt a huge blow to his spirit. For this reason, Chairman Mao sent him to the Soviet Union for treatment in 1951.
This was the second time An Qing came to the Soviet Union, and he was able to adapt to the living environment, but An Qing couldn't be happy and was always immersed in pain.
Later, when Liu Siqi was studying in the Soviet Union, he often went to the hospital to visit An Qing and told Chairman Mao about his situation. When he learned that An Qing had almost recovered, Chairman Mao, who missed his son, asked him to return to China to recover.
After returning to China, Anqing was arranged to recuperate in Dalian.
At this time, An Qing was already 36 years old. After considering his situation, the staff introduced a nurse to An Qing to take care of his health.
He also had a good impression of the nurse, but he didn't know what his father thought, so he wrote a letter to his father. After Chairman Mao learned about it, he said after questioning: "Stop talking to this girl and find another suitable one!"
Chairman Mao’s idea: Marriage should happen naturally, rather than relying on other people’s arrangements!
Soon after, Chairman Mao went to Dalian for a meeting and visited An Qing in person. When talking about love, Chairman Mao was also more concerned about his marriage, so he asked tentatively: "What do you think of your sister-in-law's sister?"
An Qing's face turned red after hearing his father's inquiry. After seeing An Qing's reaction, Chairman Mao also understood in his heart that Chairman Mao still approved of Shao Hua.
So what does Shao Hua mean? When it comes to feelings, it is undoubtedly the best if two people are in love.
Shao Hua has no objection to An Qing in her heart, and her mother Zhang Wenxiu is also very satisfied with An Qing.
In January 1960, Zhang Wenxiu took his daughter to Dalian to visit An Qing. This meeting was, on the one hand, to visit An Qing, and on the other hand, it was to create opportunities for these two young people.
The two sides have mutual intentions, and they are broken at the first glance. After this meeting, the relationship between An Qing and Shao Hua gradually heated up!
After Chairman Mao learned about the love situation of the two people, he was very pleased and very supportive. Therefore, he wrote a letter to An Qing: Shao Hua is a good girl!
After reading his father's letter, An Qing was very moved.
It was with the help of his father that An Qing and Shao Hua got married in Dalian City in the same year.
happy married life
After getting married, the two lived a very happy life. Although the two were not childhood sweethearts, they were similar and knew each other well.
Because An Qing had a root cause of illness, Shao Hua took on the important responsibilities in life after getting married. However, it is inevitable that there will be stumbling blocks in a marriage, and the couple will sometimes quarrel.
However, under Chairman Mao's guidance, the two gradually calmed down and rarely quarreled. Mutual understanding is undoubtedly the lubricant of feelings.
It is precisely because of this that during the decades of marriage between Shao Hua and An Qing, they worked together to overcome difficulties and were very happy.
Although Anqing has underlying illnesses, her life is very regular. I read a Russian book every day, and with the help of my wife, I also translated many books and articles.
In addition to reading books, Anqing watches TV every day. Apart from cultural programs, his favorite thing to watch is course lectures. Sometimes, An Qing would say to his wife: "People still have to learn, and they will fall behind..."
At that time, both An Qing and Shao Hua kept a very low profile and were never complacent because they were relatives of Chairman Mao. Shao Hua always remembers the Chairman’s teachings to her: to live with your tail between your legs, to be an ordinary person, to serve the people, and to learn from the masses.
Shao Hua takes fame and fortune very lightly. In 1979, during the first official recruitment exercise, Shao Hua was assigned the position of deputy battalion officer, while some of her colleagues who joined the company later than her were assigned the position of full battalion officer. This was incredible in the eyes of her colleagues.
However, Shao Hua is very calm. In her opinion, no matter what position she holds, as long as she can serve the people. Shao Hua has never complained about his position, nor has he ever looked for a leader.
In 1970, Mao Xinyu, the son of Shao Hua and Mao Anqing, was born. He was also Chairman Mao’s only grandson.
Precisely because Mao Xinyu is Chairman Mao's only grandson, An Qing and Shao Hua are very strict in their children's education. I would often tell him about revolutionary deeds, hoping that he could inherit his father's belief in serving the people.
Mao Anqing and Shao Hua once said this about their sons’ education:
We must let our son Xinyu understand why the azalea is like fire, like morning glow, like blood, why it is so red and bright, and why countless martyrs sacrificed their lives for the benefit of the people in exchange for the red country of the proletariat.
It is precisely because of the education of his parents that there is no trace of a child of high-ranking cadres in Mao Xinyu.
Mao Xinyu once recalled: "My mother took me on the Long March twice and explained to me the deeds of our revolutionary ancestors during the journey, which benefited me a lot."
After Chairman Mao's death, December 26th is the anniversary of Chairman Mao. Whenever this day comes, no matter what the whole family is busy with, they will go to the "Chairman Mao Memorial Hall" together, never stopping.
Shao Hua also accompanied her husband An Qing to the hometowns of Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui many times to look for traces of their parents' revolution. Every time I go there I have a new experience, and my understanding of the revolution becomes deeper.
In 1977, the first spring after Chairman Mao's death, An Qing took Shao Hua back to his hometown in Hunan. The two of them walked the road of their parents' revolution, and they were filled with emotion every time. They also reminded themselves: Don't go against the people!
Throughout Mao Anqing's life, he has always followed his father's teachings.
I think back then, Chairman Mao once said to An Qing: "When people compliment you and promote you, this has one advantage, that is, it can cultivate self-confidence; but it also has a disadvantage that we need to be careful about: it is easy to be complacent and not to be down-to-earth. Such words are very dangerous!"
His father's words have always been firmly remembered in An Qing's heart. In the eyes of his wife, he is a considerate husband; in the eyes of his son, he is a kind father; in the eyes of his grandson, he is a good grandfather; in the eyes of the people, he continues the Mao family tradition.
On March 23, 2007, Mao Anqing died in Beijing due to illness at the age of 84. After the people learned the news of his death, thousands of people spontaneously organized to see An Qing off.
Shao Hua and Liu Siqi are sisters?
They are half-sisters
Shao Hua and Liu Siqi’s mother is Zhang Wenqiu. Zhang Wenqiu: (1903--2002) Mao Zedong’s biological mother, Liu Siqi and Shao Hua’s mother. Graduated from Hubei Provincial Women's Normal School, joined the Party in 1926, and married Liu Qianchu in 1927. In 1930, he and Lin Yunan pretended to be husband and wife to organize an underground organization. In 1931, he joined the Sorge Group of the Communist International Intelligence Service and served as the chief of the Southern Station. He went to Yan'an in 1937 and later married Chen Zhenya. After liberation, he served as the director-general of the Blind Welfare Association. Published "Memoirs of Zhang Wenqiu".
Liu Qianchu: (1897--1931) Zhang Wenqiu’s first husband. Liu Siqi's biological father. degree from Beijing Yanjing University, and served as Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Committee and Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. He was killed by Han Fuju in 1931.
On April 26, 1927, Zhang Wenqiu and Liu Qianchu became married. In June 1929, Zhang Wenqiu and Liu Qianchu were both arrested and imprisoned in Jinan. In the early morning of April 5, 1931, Shandong warlord Han Fuju killed 21 Communist Party members including Liu Qianchu, Deng Enming, and Liu Xiaofu. 34-year-old Liu Qianchu left Zhang Wenqiu and Liu Siqi without a chance to take a look at his daughter.
Chen Zhenya: (1903--1941) Zhang Wenqiu’s second husband. Shao Hua's biological father. He once participated in the Pingjiang Uprising with Huang Gonglue, joined the party at the same time, and served as company commander of the Fifth Red Army. Later, he, Li Jukui and others formed the Sixth Red Army with Huang Gonglue. Later, he was injured in the battle and his left leg was amputated. Did not participate in the Long March. After the Anti-Japanese War began, he traveled all the way to Yan'an to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. After graduation, he served as director of the political department of the left-behind office of the 115th Division. After being introduced by Lin Boqu, she married Zhang Wenqiu.
In the autumn of 1938, Zhang Wenqiu gave birth to another daughter, named Zhang Shaohua after her mother's surname, and later Shao Hua.
2 years after Mao Anying’s death
In 1938, a play called "Abandoned Child" was performed in the auditorium of the Yan'an Central Party School. On the stage, a little person braved the cold wind, running miserably, and kept calling his mother. Chairman Mao and other central leaders who were sitting in the audience were deeply moved.
The actor who played this little abandoned child was Liu Siqi (also renamed Liu Songlin) who was only eight years old at the time.
After the performance, Chairman Mao beckoned the young actor to his side. After asking, he found out that the little girl was the orphan of the martyr Liu Qianchu, and her mother was Ms. Zhang Wenqiu, who was also a revolutionary.
Back then, Liu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu were both arrested while carrying out revolutionary work. When they were arrested, Liu Siqi was still in the belly of his mother, Zhang Wenqiu.
Later, Liu Qianchu was killed by the enemy, and less than a month after Zhang Wenqiu was rescued and released from prison, Liu Siqi was born. Zhang Wenqiu raised Liu Siqi while continuing the underground revolutionary cause, and the reason why little Siqi was able to She performed so well in "The Outcast" not only because she loves singing and dancing, but also because she had experienced similar experiences when she was young.
"I will be your godfather, and you will be my goddaughter, okay?" ”
Raising the descendants of the martyrs well is not only Zhang Wenqiu’s responsibility as a mother, but also the common responsibility of all members of the Communist Party of China! In this way, Xiao Siqi became Chairman Mao's goddaughter.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Siqi had not yet met Mao Anying at this time. Mao Anying, who was born in 1922, was sent to the Soviet Union to study in 1936, so the two had never met when they were young.
From 1938 to 1946, Liu Siqi experienced the murder of her stepfather Chen Zhenya, Zhang Wenqiu was arrested and imprisoned again, and Liu Siqi was also imprisoned with her mother. This time, she and her mother spent time in prison. Six years of spring and autumn.
In June 1946, due to negotiations between representatives of the CCP and the Kuomintang and the efforts of many parties, more than 130 revolutionary workers, including Zhang Wenqiu, were rescued from prison. Afterwards, they were escorted by the armed forces Next, he arrived in Yan'an again. After eight years of absence, Chairman Mao once again met his goddaughter Liu Siqi.
“Come to my house to play tomorrow! "
Just like many years ago, Chairman Mao, as his godfather, warmly invited Liu Siqi to his home again. It was this time that Liu Siqi and Mao Anying met.
At that time, Mao Anying was a senior intellectual who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union, while Liu Siqi was an ignorant girl who had just spent six years in prison. However, their fate was so strange that not only did they not communicate with each other, Despite the obstacles, we still get along very harmoniously.
Thinking of the promise he had made to take good care of the orphans of the martyrs, and seeing the graceful young girl and his son in front of him, Chairman Mao suddenly remembered that Liu Siqi had been imprisoned for six years. was delayed, so after some communication, Liu Siqi was sent to the university to study in the Chinese Department.
When youth is ignorant, it is easiest for young men and women to have a good impression. The same is true for Mao Anying and Liu Siqi. Their relationship not only includes the tolerance between "brother and sister", but also some unidentified feelings. Mutual affection.
But the older man felt that the girl was still young and he should help her more to make her a better self. Therefore, Mao Anying always pointed out Liu Siqi's shortcomings without hesitation, Remind Liu Siqi to make corrections.
Meeting you when she first fell in love was probably a reflection of Liu Siqi at that time. She had a deep admiration for this "eldest brother", but no young girl would want her shortcomings to be exposed to her admirer. In front of Xiang's eyes, he was always "taught" by him, so conflicts arose...
"There is a conflict between your son and your goddaughter. Can you reconcile it? "
"Siqi's father and I were comrades who talked about everything during the Revolution. If there are any conflicts between the younger generations that need to be resolved, let them have a heart-to-heart talk! "
This was a conversation between Liu Shaoqi and Chairman Mao. This conversation had nothing to do with the authorities or the war. It was only about concern for future generations. This conversation made Liu Shaoqi know that Chairman Mao was not actually opposed to Mao Anying and Liu Siqi. The two fell in love.
Liu Shaoqi went to Mao Anying privately to find out what the young man and woman were thinking. At the same time, he also taught Mao Anying that since he likes someone, he should tell her directly and have a good talk with Liu Siqi, otherwise, I am afraid that the two of them will It can only be like what Liu Siqi said when he was angry - it can only be a "brother and sister" relationship!
“I want to marry Comrade Liu Siqi! "
This was Mao Anying's request to her father after her relationship with Liu Siqi was established. However, this request was rejected by Chairman Mao for three reasons:
First, the two did not spend enough time together; It takes more time to get used to it, because although a relationship without the purpose of marriage is considered rogue, there is still a big difference between marriage and love. It is an unwise decision to rush into marriage as soon as you start dating. ;
Secondly, although Mao Anying was 25 years old at the time, Liu Siqi was only 17 years old. The marriage law of the liberated areas stipulated that women could not get married until they were 18 years old;
Thirdly, this was also the last An important point is that the current situation was unstable at that time. The Kuomintang army headed by Hu Zongnan attempted to eliminate the Northern Shaanxi Liberated Area. Among them, capturing Yan'an was Hu Zongnan's most clear goal. At that time, Yan'an was the "place of spark" for our party and also the main force of the People's Liberation Army. In the rear, if Yan'an is occupied, it will be a heavy blow to our party and the People's Liberation Army.
Therefore, in Chairman Mao's view, Mao Anying, who proposed to marry Liu Siqi at this time, was "making trouble". The environment was so bad that the state could not take care of it. As a good man, Mao Anying should not delay at all. It's about personal relationships with children.
Therefore, Chairman Mao said: When the battle is over, free up your hands and then mention the marriage of your children.
But how can a young man who has just met love wait any longer? At this time, Mao Anying, like many ordinary young men, can't wait to put everything he has in front of the girl he loves, and let her take it from him!
Mao Anying believed that he just wanted Liu Siqi to be his wife and to make their relationship legitimate. How could it have anything to do with current political affairs? ! Therefore, he was unwilling to give in and insisted on marrying Liu Siqi as soon as possible.
As parents, you can’t always control your children! This sentence is not only applicable to ordinary people. Even the stalwart Chairman Mao could not withstand Mao Anying's insistence. After Mao Anying submitted a letter of guarantee and "pretended to be ill", Chairman Mao's attitude finally softened.
"Just be lenient and don't push Anying to a dead end! "
This is what Zhou Enlai and his wife and others persuaded Chairman Mao after understanding the whole story. For Mao Anying and for the persuasion of his comrades, Mao, who insisted on principles throughout his life and led the Chinese people towards a bright future, The chairman finally gave Mao Anying the "green light" helplessly.
However, even if he agreed to the marriage between Mao Anying and Liu Siqi, Chairman Mao still firmly supported the authority of the law. He required Mao Anying to wait until Liu Siqi reached the age of 18 before holding the wedding. Mao Anying did not say anything about this. objection.
Due to work and various reasons, the two of them had not waited for the founding of New China before their marriage. After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao finally had time to organize the wedding for his son.
At this time, Mao Anying was almost twenty-seven years old, and Liu Siqi had also turned eighteen more than half a year ago. On October 15, with the blessings of their elders, the two welcomed Wedding ceremony.
“Cheers to Anying and Siqi’s happiness, and to your health! "
This is what Chairman Mao said to his "mother-in-law" Zhang Wenqiu at the wedding of the two. At this time, Chairman Mao withdrew his identity as a "leader" and only addressed the couple as a father. My mother-in-law gave her best wishes.
Zhang Wenqiu, who was married to a daughter, seemed to have not yet come out of the trance of her daughter getting married. For a while, she did not know what words to use to talk to Chairman Mao. It was not until she received a reminder from Zhou Enlai that she came back to her senses. Come.
"Thank you for worrying about your children's marriage in your busy schedule. Siqi is young and not sensible. I hope the chairman can give more criticism and advice! ”
After the wedding, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi lived a very sweet life. After the establishment of New China, Chairman Mao and the central leadership team began to focus more on the construction of New China. Similarly, for the construction of the motherland, Mao Anying also He responded to the call to "go among the people" and became deputy secretary of the Party branch of Beijing Machinery General Factory.
At that time, the Party Central Committee’s development plan for the country was to take three to five years to resume production. From 1950 to 1951, military expenditures in the national budget needed to be reduced from 43% to 30%. The other 70% of the national budget will be invested in the country's economy, culture, education, health and improving people's lives.
Mao Anying also had his own life plan. He originally planned to work at the Beijing Machinery Factory for a few years and make his own efforts for the development of the country.
But unfortunately, both the country's construction plan and Mao Anying's life plan were completely shattered in June 1950. At that time, the North-South Civil War broke out in North Korea. Soon, the United States also joined the war. It was originally an internal war of the Korean people.
At that time, the United States not only dispatched the Far East Army to assist South Korea in fighting, but also sent a fleet to sail in the Taiwan Strait. This move not only threatened the security of New China, but also hindered our country's plan to liberate Taiwan.
Therefore, in July of that year, the Chinese People’s Movement Committee to Oppose the U.S. Invasion of Taiwan and Korea was formally established, and China’s actions to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea officially kicked off.
On September 30 of the same year, Zhou Enlai made a statement about "not tolerating foreign aggression." On October 1, US Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations General MacArthur responded remotely:
"In history The Yalu River is not an insurmountable obstacle that separates China and North Korea. "
MacArthur's response was quite arrogant, because not only did he not take China's statement seriously, but he also secretly said: We will not only capture North Korea, but also cross the Yalu River...
The American imperialists are determined to destroy China—this was the first reaction of the Chinese people when they learned about MacArthur’s speech. So, when news of North Korea’s request for aid arrived on October 8, the Party Central Committee immediately decided to respond to North Korea’s request for aid and Effortlessly organize volunteer troops.
"Where are you going? "
"There is a place called the Korean Peninsula, do you know? "
This was the last conversation between Mao Anying and Liu Siqi. During the conversation, Mao Anying did not tell Liu Siqi that he would go to North Korea as a translator and confidential secretary. Instead, he coaxed Liu Siqi and said that he was going to a place far away. If you are on a business trip and the place you go to is too remote, communication may be difficult.
The young Liu Siqi believed it and accepted that Mao Anying would leave while he was hospitalized for appendicitis or even on their first wedding anniversary. He also accepted that Mao Anying would go on a trip to which she did not know the destination or return date. "Business trip".
On October 19, Marshal Peng Dehuai led the Volunteer Army across the Yalu River, followed by Mao Anying;
On October 23, the Volunteer Army arrived at the Korean battlefield;
October On the 25th, the Chinese Volunteer Army launched its first battle into North Korea and initially stabilized the war situation;
From October 25th to November 25th, the Chinese Volunteer Army became the main bombing target of the United States United Nations Army.
11 In the early morning of March 25, the U.S. Air Force once again conducted a surprise bombing of the headquarters of the Chinese Volunteer Army. At that time, Mao Anying was still processing telegrams at his post. When the guards realized that something was wrong, they forcibly pulled him into the air-raid shelter and escaped the bombing.
After the bombing, Mao Anying and his comrades returned to the war room from the air raid shelter again to continue processing telegrams. Unexpectedly, this time the US bombers came back to kill them!
This time, the U.S. Air Force used gasoline bombs, and the Chinese Volunteer Army headquarters was already on fire before it had time to react. Mao Anying died in this air strike, and his body was charred by the fire.
"Chairman..."
"In war... there will always be sacrifices..."
One month after Mao Anying's death, the confidential secretary handed Chairman Mao a brief The telegram was hesitant to speak, and even the voice was lower than usual. However, this telegram, a battle report prepared by Commander Peng Dehuai himself, had to be handed over to Chairman Mao, even though... what was reported in the station newspaper was that News that made Chairman Mao heartbroken.
Chairman Mao read the battle report in silence. Regardless of the country or home, Chairman Mao could only accept the telegram. Even from receiving the news of Mao Anying's death to returning to the courageous national leader, Chairman Mao I only gave myself three or four minutes.
Acceptance does not mean that there is no heartache. Chairman Mao even spent the rest of his life burying the pain of losing his son in his heart. How depressing this is.
"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, why should they be wrapped in horse leather..."
This was Chairman Mao's reply when Peng Dehuai asked Chairman Mao whether Mao Anying's body would be transported back to China for burial, because of this sentence According to the approval, Mao Anying, like many heroes who resisted U.S. aggression and aided Korea, was buried on the soil of North Korea.
"Siqi is still young and has a deep relationship with Anying. Let's hide the news of Anying's death from her first..."
This is Chairman Mao's decision after Mao Anying's body was not returned to the country. Another decision, people around him, including Liu Siqi's mother Zhang Wenqiu, all agreed and did not tell Liu Siqi about Mao Anying's sacrifice.
The young Liu Siqi never thought that her newlywed husband had died, but she always thought inadvertently, when will she receive a letter from her husband?
Liu Siqi waited for nearly three years. During these three years, Liu Siqi kept in mind Mao Anying's instructions when he left:
Visit Chairman Mao more often; be sure to complete your studies; please ask your mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu paid more attention to his younger brother Mao Anqing. However, Mao Anying's lack of news and the avoidance of people around her finally made Liu Siqi realize that something was wrong.
"Dad, I haven't received a letter from Anying for two years, eight months and eighteen days..."
When Liu Siqi saw the picture of Mao Anying wearing North Korea in Chairman Mao's hand, When looking at photos of people's military uniforms, Liu Siqi finally understood why Mao Anying mentioned North Korea on the day of farewell, and finally understood why he said that communication was inconvenient, because he went to the battlefield, and on the battlefield, there was more about the country and the world. How can there be so many parents who are short-lived and have long-lasting love for their children?
However, the Korean War has ended and the volunteers have returned to the country, but Mao Anying has not appeared in front of him again. There is only one reasonable explanation for all of this - Mao Anying died in North Korea.
Faced with Liu Siqi’s sad words that he couldn’t even bear to ask, Chairman Mao finally couldn’t bear to hide it from Liu Siqi and could only tell her sadly: Her husband Mao Anying had died on November 25, 1950. Korean battlefield.
In order to comfort Liu Siqi, Chairman Mao also used the fact that he and Yang Kaihui were separated in life and death and that his younger siblings and others also sacrificed during the revolution to persuade him.
But for Liu Siqi, Mao Anying was her first love, and she was devoted to her. Even though there were so many examples of revolutionary pioneers, they could not erase the pain caused by Mao Anying's sacrifice. , because she is far from that strong...
In order to shift the focus of Liu Siqi's life, Chairman Mao chose to send Liu Siqi to study in the Soviet Union. Perhaps going to the Soviet Union for further study, immersing his mind in learning, Liu Siqi can survive faster The blow caused by the loss of Mao Anying was too much.
At the same time, you can also visit the place where Mao Anying grew up from a boy to a young man. After walking on the path Mao Anying took, Liu Siqi will understand Mao Anying's choice better.
Liu Siqi returned to China after studying in the Mathematics Department of Moscow State University for two years. When she returned this time, her mental state was much better than when she first learned about Mao Anying's death.
In the winter of 1958, the last batch of Chinese volunteers who went to North Korea successfully returned home, and Chairman Mao also began to make plans for this young eldest daughter-in-law. After all, Liu Siqi was only a 27-year-old young woman in 1958. Youth is just right.
"Siqi, daddy, please find a partner for you! "
Liu Siqi cried very sadly when she heard Chairman Mao's plan to find another husband. However, she also knew how important it was that Chairman Mao could still find time to care about her personal life while he was busy with national affairs. rare.
But... as a wife, she was derelict in not being able to accompany Mao Anying in the battle, not being able to see Mao Anying for the last time was derelict in her duty, not being able to add a handful of loess to Mao Anying's grave, and not being able to put a stick of fragrance on Mao Anying's grave was derelict in her duty. How can we talk about the so-called remarriage?
"My sister wants to go to North Korea to visit Brother Anying's grave. She said that if she fails to pay homage to Brother Anying, she will not remarry..."
Sister Shao Huajiang After telling Chairman Mao about his thoughts, Chairman Mao also realized that although eight years had passed, his eldest daughter-in-law still had obsessions in her heart. In fact, why didn’t Chairman Mao himself want to go to North Korea in person to pay homage to his eldest son, who had placed high hopes on him?
However, as the leader of the country, he cannot go, but it does not matter much if Liu Siqi goes to North Korea to visit graves in his own name. However, Liu Siqi has to go quietly, so as not to alarm political figures, and Can't see the newspaper.
Liu Siqi just wanted to visit her husband's grave, so he naturally agreed to Chairman Mao's request "quietly".
In the spring of 1959, Liu Siqi, accompanied by Shao Hua, arrived at the Chinese Embassy in North Korea in a low-key manner. Under the arrangement of the embassy, he arrived in Hicang County, North Korea. There, Liu Siqi saw a round Buried in the white grave is her husband Mao Anying.
"I'm here to see you. I'm here to see you on behalf of my father. It's been so many years since I came. I'm late..."
Stroking the tombstone with Mao Anying's name engraved on it, Liu Siqi burst into tears. After more than eight years, she could finally "visit" her husband as a wife.
But her every word of crying could only leave a very small water stain on her husband's grave. And, just like Mao Anying would be gradually diluted in her memory, this small stain Tears will eventually evaporate.
In 1962, this was the twelfth year after Mao Anying's death. In the twelfth year, Zichou Yinmao, the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, went through a reincarnation, and Liu Siqi also met Chairman Mao's matchmaker. Yang Maozhi, whom he met when he was studying abroad in Moscow, got married.
At that time, Yang Maozhi was already an associate division instructor in the Attack Aircraft Teaching and Research Section of the China Air Force Academy. Considering the situation in China at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Maozhi was a "national treasure."
"Daughter, you must listen to my advice and make up your mind to get married. It's time..."
This is a letter written by Chairman Mao to Liu Siqi. In the letter, he once again persuaded Liu Siqi to remarry. , don’t delay the future by dwelling on the past. After all, young people still have a long future.
Liu Siqi listened to the advice this time. After getting along for a period of time, Liu Siqi and Yang Maozhi entered the palace of marriage. Their marriage received Chairman Mao's blessing.
Moreover, Chairman Mao also wrote two words as a commemoration for the two of them, and also gave Liu Siqi an "additional gift" of 300 yuan.
After marrying Yang Maozhi, Liu Siqi also started a new life seriously. In order to bid farewell to the past, she even changed her name to Liu Songlin, because the place where Mao Anying died is full of green pines and cypresses. She will live together with Mao Anying's share.
After that, Liu Siqi was assigned to work at the National Academy of Military Sciences and worked steadily until retirement.
Liu Siqi gave birth to four children in her life. The children's father was Yang Maozhi. However, in memory of Mao Anying, with the permission of her husband Yang Maozhi, she named her eldest son Yang Xiaoying.
In addition, she has always been thinking about Mao Anying's request - to visit her father more often. Therefore, after Liu Siqi married Yang Maozhi, she not only went to visit Chairman Mao herself, but also took Yang Maozhi with her.
Later, she would bring the children with her, and she would ask them to call Chairman Mao grandpa instead of grandpa. Probably, this was another way for Liu Siqi, the former eldest daughter-in-law, to comfort Chairman Mao after losing his son. .
"Anying, you are no longer here. I, along with my husband and children, have done the filial piety that you owe to your father. You are in a foreign country, and you rest in peace..."
Probably, this is the inner portrayal of Liu Siqi at that time!
Were Liu Siqi's biological father and stepfather killed by warlords?
Liu Siqi, who has just passed away, is world-famous as Chairman Mao's daughter-in-law and Mao Anying's wife. However, she also has another identity that few people know, that is, she is the orphan of the revolutionary martyrs.
Liu Siqi's biological father, Liu Qianchu, was born in Liujiazhuang, Tianzhuang Town, Pingdu City, Shandong Province in 1897.
In the spring of 1913, 16-year-old Liu Qian was admitted to Pingdu Zhiwu Middle School. In the spring of 1916, he united with 13 classmates and resolutely joined the army. He joined the artillery regiment of the third detachment of the Northeast Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and passionately opposed Yuan Shikai's perverse measures to restore the monarchy. For his bravery in combat, he was awarded the "Shandong Third Detachment Volunteer Medal".
In 1918, Liu Qianchu, who retired from the army, was admitted to the preparatory course of Qilu University with excellent results. After the May Fourth Movement broke out, students from many schools in Jinan jointly organized demonstrations. Liu Qianchu was ordered to drop out of school by the reactionary Shandong authorities because he actively participated in street speeches, distributed leaflets, and promoted patriotic ideas.
In 1922, Liu Qianchu was recommended to study at Yanjing University in Beijing. He initiated the founding of "Yanda Weekly", established secret contacts with the student organization led by revolutionary pioneer Li Dazhao, and accepted the leadership of the underground party organization of the Communist Party of China.
In 1925, after the May 30th Massacre, Liu Qianchu initiated the establishment of the "Yandahu Case Support Association" and was elected as one of the leaders of the Yanda student movement.
In 1926, Liu Qianchu once again joined the army and came to Wuhan to join the Northern Expedition. He served as section chief of the Social Section of the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Eleventh Army, and concurrently served as the deputy editor of the theoretical publication "Blood Road" of the Political Department.
During the Northern Expedition, Liu Qianchu officially joined the Communist Party of China and met Mao Zedong, who stood out in the great revolution. He greatly admired Mao Zedong's courage and talent, and the two young talents formed a profound revolutionary friendship.
One day in February 1927, Liu Qianchu was invited to give a speech on the political situation at the Wuhan Branch of Whampoa Military Academy. His majestic spirit and eloquent eloquence deeply attracted a woman sitting in the audience - 24-year-old Zhang Wenqiu, then deputy secretary of the Jingshan County Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Zhang Wenqiu was born into a wealthy family in Zhangjiawan, Qingshuling Village, Sunqiao Town, Jingshan County, Hubei Province in 1903. When he was young, he studied in Sunqiao, Tianmen and other places. In 1917, she was admitted to Hubei Provincial Women's Normal College.
At that time, Chen Tanqiu taught natural science and social science at Hubei Provincial Women's Normal College, and Dong Biwu taught Chinese and history. These two famous revolutionaries were the founders of the Wuhan Communist Group. Under the inspiration and education of these two teachers, Zhang Wenqiu began to join the revolution.
Zhang Wenqiu came to Wuhan specifically to buy guns. He took the time to visit Yun Daiying, the head of the Wuhan branch of Whampoa Military Academy, and happened to hear Liu Qianchu's wonderful speech.
Under the introduction of Yun Daiying, Zhang Wenqiu met Liu Qianchu, and soon fell in love, and they got married not long after.
On April 4, 1927, the Wuchang Central Peasant Movement Institute hosted by Mao Zedong held an opening ceremony. The newly married Liu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu were invited to attend. They listened to Mao Zedong's "Inspection Report on the Peasant Movement in Hunan" with their own ears, and were deeply inspired and benefited a lot.
Liu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu also came to No. 41 Dufudi, Wuchang, to visit Mao Zedong's family living here. Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui warmly entertained them. Mao Anying, who was 5 years old at the time, and Mao Anying, who was 3 years old, followed their mother's example and stretched out their little hands to grab red dates and peanuts, intending to give them to the guests, but they accidentally scattered them on the ground, making everyone laugh.
When Mao Zedong heard that Liu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu had just got married, he said humorously:
No one here, including Yang Kaihui, Liu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu, expected that Mao Zedong’s seemingly joking words , decades later, it turned out to be a fact.
In July 1927, Liu Qianchu said goodbye to his newlywed wife and went to work for the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. In the middle of this month, Wang Jingwei rebelled against the revolution and launched the "July 15th" counter-revolutionary coup. Jingshan County was shrouded in white terror. Zhang Wenqiu successfully escaped after hiding in a secret tunnel for three days and two nights. He disguised himself as a dead man and was carried out of Jingshan City in a coffin.
After the failure of the vigorous revolution, Liu Qianchu was ordered to participate in the Nanchang Uprising. Because he was blocked in Jiujiang, he had to withdraw from Wuhan and then go to Shanghai.
In the summer of 1928, Liu Qianchu became Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. In April 1929, Liu Qianchu returned to Qilu, reorganized the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and served as Secretary of the Provincial Committee and Minister of Propaganda.
After Zhang Wenqiu escaped from danger in Jingshan, on September 25, 1927, he and several revolutionary comrades went to Zhumadian, Henan Province, organized and mobilized the masses, and successfully held an armed riot.
In the summer of 1928, Zhang Wenqiu was sent to the Hubei Provincial Party Committee Secretariat as a confidential secretary. In December, she arrived in Shanghai and found the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In March 1929, Zhang Wenqiu was discovered by Liu Qianchu's friend while participating in the March 8th International Women's Day demonstration on Main Street in Shanghai. Since then, a revolutionary couple who had lost contact for two years finally restored contact.
In June 1929, under the careful arrangement of Zhou Enlai, Zhang Wenqiu came to Jinan under the pseudonym "Chen Mengjun" and served as executive member of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Women's Work, fighting alongside her husband Liu Qianchu. They went deep into the people to guide the workers and peasants movement and guided the establishment of grassroots party organizations, which enabled the rapid recovery and development of Shandong party organizations.
On July 2, 1929, due to betrayal by a traitor, the newly formed Shandong Provincial Committee was severely damaged and Zhang Wenqiu was arrested. On August 6, Liu Qian was also unfortunately arrested and imprisoned when he was going to Shanghai via Qingdao to report to the Party Central Committee.
In prison, Liu Qianchu and Zhang Wenqiu were tortured and bruised, but they remained steadfast and unyielding.
Liu Qianchu translated "Anti-Dulin Theory" with amazing perseverance and under dark light. He organized comrades in prison to study the works of Marxism and Lenin, treating "the prison as a school and the court as a forum." He participated in the leadership of the hunger strike and prison escape struggle, and through clever secret methods, he wrote to the Party Central Committee and the Shandong Provincial Committee to report on the prison struggle.
In January 1930, Zhang Wenqiu, who was 7 months pregnant, was rescued and released by the party organization. Before leaving the prison, Zhang Wenqiu begged hard, and the warden reluctantly agreed that she and her husband Liu Qian could meet for the last time.
In the dark cell, Liu Qianchu's hands with iron chains on their wrists were tightly held together with Zhang Wenqiu's hands... At this moment, Zhang Wenqiu burst into tears.
Before leaving, Zhang Wenqiu asked her husband to name the child who was about to be born. Liu Qianchu looked at his wife's swollen belly affectionately and said:
Zhang Wenqiu said goodbye to her husband and came to Shanghai. On March 2, 1930, Liu Siqi was born in Shanghai.
In 1930, during the Central Plains War between Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yan, Han Fuju, who betrayed Feng Yuxiang and defected to Chiang Kai-shek, was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army of the "Rebel Army". Han Fuju led his troops to Shandong and became chairman of Shandong Province in Jinan in September, beginning his eight-year reactionary rule over Shandong.
In 1931, in order to claim credit for his loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek, Han Fuju decided to execute Liu Qianchu, Deng Enming and other communists.
On April 5, Liu Qianchu, wearing heavy shackles, sang "The Internationale" and shouted the slogans "Long live the Communist Party of China" and "Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries". He walked to the execution ground with righteousness and met Deng Enming. 22 Communist Party members including Xi Jinping, Wu Lishi, and Lei Jinsheng died heroically on Weiba Road in Jinan.
Liu Qianchu was only 34 years old when he died heroically!
After her husband's death, Zhang Wenqiu successively worked on the covert front in the Fourth Bureau of the Far East of the Communist International in Shanghai, the Secretariat of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Intelligence Office of the Central Liaison Department of the Southern Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In September 1937, Zhang Wenqiu took 7-year-old Liu Siqi to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution. Here, she married Chen Zhenya, a veteran Red Army soldier from Hunan.
Liu Siqi’s stepfather Chen Zhenya is also a legendary revolutionary hero.
In 1898, Chen Zhenya was born into a poor peasant family in Huanglong Township, Mo District, Shimen County, Hunan Province. When he was 8 years old, he worked as a shepherd boy in a landlord's family. The life of lack of food, clothing, and suffering has cultivated Chen Zhenya's strong character and strong spirit of resistance.
When he was 16 years old, Chen Zhenya was introduced to a tin-making workshop by his brother who worked in a blacksmith shop. Here, he deeply experienced the pain of workers. He worked hard to educate himself on culture and explore a way out of life.
In May 1926, the Guangdong Northern Expedition passed through Hunan. Chen Zhenya, who already had revolutionary consciousness, resolutely signed up to join the National Revolutionary Army and joined the army led by Huang Gonglue. Because of his bravery in combat, he was promoted to squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander.
In 1928, Chen Zhenya joined the Communist Party of China after being introduced by Huang Gonglue. In July, Peng Dehuai, Teng Daiyuan, Huang Gonglue and others launched the Pingjiang Uprising that shocked the country. Chen Zhenya participated in this uprising, and the company he commanded fought bravely and tenaciously.
In August 1928, Peng Dehuai and others reorganized the troops after the Pingjiang Uprising into the Fifth Red Army and led the Fifth Red Army to advance towards the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base created by Mao Zedong. On December 11, the Fifth Red Army finally arrived in Jinggangshan and successfully joined forces with the Fourth Red Army led by Mao Zedong and Zhu De in Ninggang, Jiangxi. Chen Zhenya met Mao Zedong, whom he had admired for a long time.
On January 18, 1930, the Sixth Red Army was established, and Chen Zhenya was transferred to the Sixth Red Army as a senior cadre. In May, the Sixth Red Army was changed to the Third Red Army. From then on, Chen Zhenya fought under the direct command of Mao Zedong and Zhu De.
In August 1930, Chen Zhenya was seriously injured in his left leg during the battle of Wanzai. From then on, he received treatment at the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Military Region Hospital for nearly three years.
In January 1933, Chen Zhenya served as political commissar of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Military Region Hospital. Later, he was transferred to Hunan-Jiangxi Hospital for treatment. Due to the severity of the injury, doctors had to amputate his left leg.
In March 1934, the Political Department of the Hunan-Jiangxi Military Region appointed Chen as director of the Political Department of the Hunan-Jiangxi Hospital. While he was undergoing treatment, he was also working despite his illness. During this period, the Soviet area encountered serious difficulties in food, medicine and economy. The sick and wounded in the hospital could only drink a small amount of gruel twice a day. Chen Zhenya led his comrades to raise food to solve the problem of eating; at the same time, he tried every means to find medicines, collect traditional Chinese medicine, and treat the sick and wounded.
In an extremely difficult environment, Chen Zhenya also founded a political training class for hospital employees. During the day, he lay on his bed writing textbooks and went to class with crutches; late at night, he carefully corrected the students' homework.
In the autumn of 1934, the Central Red Army failed in its fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression". The enemy set fire to the mountain. Chen Zhenya was unable to move and was captured by the enemy. He wittily said that he was a Kuomintang soldier captured by the Red Army. Seeing that he was physically disabled, the enemy believed him and took him back to his hometown of Shimen. He was released from prison after being released on bail by relatives and friends.
After the Central Red Army went north to fight against Japan, Chen Zhenya's hometown fell into white terror. He took great risks, organized the surrounding masses, established secret farmers' associations, developed party members in the farmers' associations, established party branches, established guerrillas, and led farmers to carry out various indomitable struggles against local tyrants and evil gentry.
In September 1935, the Second and Sixth Red Army Corps gathered in the northwest area of Shimen for rest and expansion. Chen Zhenya secretly went to the Sixth Red Army Army to report on the capture process and the organization of a secret party branch. Troop leaders spoke highly of him.
Chen Zhenya mobilized the party members and guerrillas he had developed to join the Red Army collectively. He originally wanted to follow the team to the north to fight against Japan, but due to his disabled leg, it was inconvenient to march long distances with the team; and because he had a good mass base in the local area, it was easier to carry out work. So He Long and Guan Xiangying talked with him and persuaded him to stay for the time being to persist in the underground struggle and carry out party building and army expansion work in place. Chen Zhenya accepted the decision.
It was not until July 1936, when Chen Zhenya received the transfer order from the Central Military Commission and a letter from Guan Xiangying, that he supported one leg with crutches and traveled thousands of miles, going through untold hardships, and finally arrived in Yan'an in 1937. , returned to the embrace of the Party Central Committee.
When Chen Zhenya married Zhang Wenqiu in the winter of 1937, the old chief Peng Dehuai cared about him and specially granted him 60 silver dollars as living expenses after marriage. Peng Dehuai also sent them a wedding couplet.
Peng Dehuai said to Chen Zhenya in Hunan dialect: "You 'old bachelor' finally has a family, and you have solved one of my worries. I wish you a long life together and the revolution to the end! "
Peng Dehuai also pulled Liu Siqi into his arms and said to Chen Zhenya:
From then on, Liu Siqi called Chen Zhenya "dad."
During the Spring Festival of 1938, Chairman Mao and other central leaders came to the auditorium of the Yan'an Party School to watch the drama "Abandoned Children". When a pair of revolutionaries were arrested by the Kuomintang military police, the plot reached its climax: In the cold wind, a seven or eight-year-old little girl in ragged clothes ran and cried on the bleak and dim street: "Mom, Mom ! ..."
The young actor performed the role vividly, with sincere emotions, which moved people to tears. The central leaders who were watching were deeply moved.
After the play ended, Chairman Mao sent someone to call the young actor, stroked her head, and asked kindly: "What's your name?" Who are your parents? "
The young actor replied: "My name is Liu Siqi. Then he pointed to the crowd and said, "That's my parents." "
Chairman Mao looked back, and Zhang Wenqiu and Chen Zhenya hurried to his side. Chairman Mao asked Chen Zhenya: "Is this your child? "
Chen Zhenya quickly replied: "Report to the Chairman, this is the daughter of Zhang Wenqiu and martyr Liu Qianchu, and I am just her stepfather. "
When Chairman Mao heard that Liu Siqi was the daughter of his early comrade Liu Qianchu, he looked serious and said emotionally:
With that, Chairman Mao picked up the then 8-year-old Liu Siqi said humorously: "I will be your godfather and you will be my goddaughter. It's settled like this." "
From then on, Liu Siqi often went to play in the cave of his "godfather" Chairman Mao.
In October 1938, Zhang Wenqiu gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter. After discussion, Chen Zhenya and Zhang Wenqiu changed the traditional custom and named their daughter "Shaohua" after her mother's surname Zhang. Later, she changed her name to "Shaohua".
In August 1939, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to send a group of honorary senior cadres to the Soviet Union for treatment and recuperation. Chen Zhenya is also among this group of cadres. He is planning to go to the Soviet Union to install prosthetic limbs. In order to take care of his life, Zhang Wenqiu also took Liu Siqi and Shao Hua with her husband.
However, when the group passed through Dihua, Xinjiang (now Urumqi City), they were detained by the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai. Chen Zhenya, Chen Tanqiu, Chairman Mao's second brother Mao Zemin and other communists were placed under house arrest.
The Xinjiang warlord was called the "King of Xinjiang" when he was in his prime. He was an opportunist and was accustomed to adopting double-sided tactics. He turned to foreign forces for his own personal gain, betrayed national interests, and monopolized a large amount of Xinjiang wealth. He eliminated dissidents, tortured indiscriminately, built a large number of prisons, and implemented spy rule. According to statistics, during his rule in Xinjiang, more than 100,000 people were imprisoned, and 50,000 of them were brutally murdered.
In 1941, the German fascists launched a war of aggression against the Soviet Union. China was in an arduous stalemate in the Anti-Japanese War. The Kuomintang's stubbornness set off a new anti-communist upsurge across the country and created the Southern Anhui Incident that shocked both China and the world. Faced with this situation, the duplicitous Shengshi was even more shaken. The situation in Xinjiang is getting worse day by day.
Chen Tanqiu led all party members and cadres in Xinjiang, and based on the principle of both unity and struggle, and struggle for unity, they carried out a reasonable, beneficial and measured struggle against Sheng Shicai's various perverse actions. Chen Zhenya actively and bravely participated in a series of sharp struggles and was elected as the party branch propaganda committee member and group leader.
In mid-May 1941, Chen Zhenya and some comrades went to Shuimogou in the suburbs of Dihua for a gathering in the name of an outing to discuss countermeasures against the Kuomintang die-hards.
Chen Zhenya had just sat down on a small bridge. Unexpectedly, the old bridge suddenly collapsed. Chen Zhenya fell into the river and was injured. The accompanying comrades rushed to rescue him and sent him to Dihua Nanguan Hospital.
At Nanguan Hospital, under Zhang Wenqiu’s careful care, Chen Zhenya quickly recovered to health. On June 13, when Chen Zhenya was about to be discharged from the hospital, Sheng Shicai secretly ordered a Belarusian doctor to falsely claim that Chen Zhenya had recovered and did not need to be accompanied, and forcibly drove Zhang Wenqiu out of the hospital. Later, the Belarusian doctor injected poison into Chen Zhenya and assassinated him on the hospital bed according to the instructions of the crazy Sheng Shicai.
After Chen Zhenya and others were killed by Sheng Shicai, Zhang Wenqiu and his daughters Liu Siqi and Shao Hua were imprisoned for four years. During this period, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang authorities repeatedly negotiated and negotiated, trying their best to rescue the CCP members, their families, and children imprisoned in Dihua.
On April 4, 1946, Zhang Zhizhong, known as the "Peace General", concurrently served as Chairman of Xinjiang Province. Through his efforts, the CCP members, their families, and children were finally acquitted and returned to Yan'an.
June 10, 1946, was an unforgettable day for Liu Siqi. After careful preparation, Liu Siqi, his mother Zhang Wenqiu, sister Shao Hua, uncles, aunts, and friends set out for Yan'an in 10 large trucks.
The truck crossed the Gobi, crossed the Huozhou Island, passed through checkpoints, and went through ups and downs. Finally, it arrived in Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, on July 11, and returned to the embrace of the Party.
On the morning of July 12, Chairman Mao personally came to visit all the people who had returned from Xinjiang. When he walked in front of Zhang Wenqiu, he stopped and said:
"It's so hard for you to be back! Where is Siqi? Why didn't you see her? "
Zhang Wenqiu pulled Liu Siqi, who was standing behind her, in front of Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao took Siqi's hand and said happily: "We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. You have grown into an adult and I don't even recognize you!" You are still my goddaughter, remember? "
Liu Siqi nodded shyly but excitedly.
Decades later, Liu Siqi recalled:
But this meeting after returning from Xinjiang was a meeting after experiencing the test of life and death, which Liu Siqi will remember in her heart. She recalled:
People are familiar with Liu Siqi’s journey after returning to his “godfather” Chairman Mao.
In 1946, Mao Anying returned to Yan'an from the Soviet Union and met Liu Siqi. In 1948, they established a romantic relationship in Xibaipo.
On October 15, 1949, Mao Anying and Liu Siqi held their wedding in the west room of Juxiang Bookstore in Zhongnanhai. At this time, it had been 18 years since Liu Siqi's biological father Liu Qianchu died!
After the outbreak of the Korean War, Mao Anying volunteered to join the Volunteer Army, entered North Korea to resist the United States, and died heroically on November 25, 1950.
In 1961, the daughter of Zhang Wenqiu and Chen Zhenya, Liu Siqi's half-sister Shao Hua, married Mao Anying's younger brother Mao Anying. At this time, it has been 20 years since Shao Hua's biological father Chen Zhenya died!
Chairman Mao's words to Zhang Wenqiu in 1927, "to the in-laws", miraculously became a reality and became a heart-stirring story in the history of the Chinese revolution!
The above is all about Liu Siqi's profile, Shao Hua, and Mao Anying's death. Two years after Liu Siqi remarried and gave birth to four children, the eldest son was named Yang Xiaoying, as well as the relevant content of Liu Siqi's profile. I hope it can help you.
