Mao Zedong has ten children, among whom Yang Kaihui gave birth to three boys, namely Mao Anying, Mao Anqing and Mao Anlong. He Zizhen gave birth to six children, including three boys, He Miaomiao Jr. and a boy whose whereabouts are unknown, and one died in the Soviet Union. Among the girls, only CoCo Lee survived, and the other two daughters were also missing. In addition, it is Jiang Qingsheng's Li Ne.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there may be more or less an illusion about how happy and beautiful it is to be a child of the party and the country.

But times are different. In the era of Mao Zedong, as children of Mao Zedong, what they experienced and paid was different, even their lives.

Of the ten children, only four survived because of the war. After the founding of New China, Mao's favorite eldest son also died on the battlefield. Of these ten children, there are only three left now.

Mao Anqing is the only son left by Mao Zedong, and Mao Zedong loves him very much, giving full care to Mao Anqing's study, work and even love.

1923, just after the full moon in Mao Anqing, Mao Zedong was ordered to leave Changsha for Shanghai to attend the first National Congress of the Kuomintang. When he left, Mao Zedong wrote a farewell letter to his wife Yang Kaihui.

That's the famous "What Heart Lang Bieyou" (excerpt):

Since the beginning of the Mao Zedong Revolution, he and his wife have been on and off, and the family has been living in two places. For Mao Anqing, getting his father's love is a luxury in time.

When Mao Anqing was four years old, Mao Zedong launched the autumn harvest uprising, but soon he met with revolutionary difficulties. From then on, Mao Zedong went to Jinggangshan, and he and his son never met again until 20 years later.

On 1930, Mao Zedong learned from his comrades that Yang Kaihui had been killed by the Kuomintang. At that time, the Mao Anqing brothers were hiding in Tibet, and Mao Anqing's body was hurt by the opposition. Mao Zedong was very sad when he heard all this.

1946, Mao returned to Yan' an from the Soviet Union. At that time, the sick man went to the airport to meet his son Mao, regardless of his physical condition.

For more than ten years, when Mao Zedong saw his grown-up son, he was filled with emotion.

Mao told his father that his younger brother Anqing didn't come back because he had to continue studying. At the same time, Mao also told his father a piece of good news, that is, Mao Anqing passed the Oriental University with excellent results.

When Mao Zedong learned the news, he was already suffering from autonomic nervous disorder, and he was immediately refreshed and even recovered from a serious illness. He was so excited that he stayed up all night and wrote a letter to his son Mao Anqing.

He wrote:

Anqing, my dear son:

Your brother is back, and I'm glad to know about you. Seeing your brother is like seeing you. I hope you will continue to study there and come back to serve the people well in the future. Your sister Li Ning sends her regards. She is five and a half years old now. I'll give you two of her paper-cuts.

Wish you progress, happiness and growth.

Mao Zedong

1946 1 7th of the month

Mao Zedong in 1946 is very original. It is very difficult for him to take time out of his busy schedule to write a letter to his son. He waited anxiously for his son to come home, that was before the founding of New China.

After returning from the Soviet Union, He Zizhen took Mao Anqing and CoCo Lee to Harbin. After the liberation of Beiping, Mao Zedong has been living in Xiangshan Villa. One day, the guard told him that the children had been sent back by an ambassador.

No one knows how Mao Zedong felt when he first saw Mao Anqing and CoCo Lee, but he must be very happy.

Two years ago, just after Mao Zedong learned that Mao Anqing had returned to China, he immediately wrote a letter to Mao who was exercising at the grassroots level. Mao Zedong wrote: Dad told you that your brother has returned to Harbin. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really want to see him.

Although this letter is short, it shows the word fatherly love to the fullest.

1949, shortly after Mao Anqing returned to his father, two important festivals were celebrated, one was founding ceremony, and the other was the wedding of his younger brother Mao.

At Mao's wedding, Mao Zedong, as a father, was very moved. He saw Wang and others give gifts to the bride and groom, and also took out a gift from home, which was a 90% new coat.

Ye Zilong once told Mao Zedong that according to the custom of Hunan people, when a child gets married, his father should give him a gift. Before Mao got married, he searched all night and finally found a decent gift, that is, a coat.

Mao Zedong held the coat in front of Mao and said, "An Ying, today is your wedding day. Dad has nothing to give you, so I will give you this coat. This coat was worn by Dad during the negotiations in Chongqing."

Soon, seeing Liu Siqi coming, Mao Zedong looked a little embarrassed and said, "Siqi, dad doesn't have any gift for you. You can cover this coat together, so you have one." After that, everyone present laughed, and a generation of founding leaders eased their embarrassment with a joke.

Mao Anqing was deeply moved when he learned this special gift from his father to his younger brother. Mao Anqing and Mao are blood brothers, but what Mao Anqing didn't expect was that his father had only two sons, and now he is the only one left.

Mao Anqing is two years younger than Mao, who was 27 when he got married. In fact, Mao Anqing is old enough to get married.

Although Mao Zedong is the leader of a country, he is also an ordinary father. The marriage of his children has always been his concern.

Since the founding of New China, Mao Anqing has been working in the Propaganda Department of the CPC, translating five or six books including Stalin's Marxism and Linguistics. Mao Anqing is high flyers of Moscow Oriental University. He is really successful in translation.

Seeing that his son's career was booming, Mao Zedong began to worry about his son's marriage, especially 1958.

This summer, my daughter CoCo Lee had a boyfriend. Mao Zedong realized that this childhood was complicated. The happy daughter finally found her own happiness, which is also an explanation for He Zizhen. On the other hand, as a boss, Mao Anqing should get married first.

In fact, a year ago, Mao Zedong had a special discussion with his son on this issue.

1957 In the summer, Mao Anqing had been recuperating in Dalian for physical reasons, and Mao Zedong went to Qingdao for a meeting, taking this opportunity to meet his son.

Qingdao and Dalian are separated by a sea, and the journey of 200 nautical miles won't take long. Now Mao Anqing is 34 years old, not only in poor health, but also single.

Mao Zedong asked the staff to meet Mao Anqing at the big junction.

Mao Zedong's resting place in Qingdao is actually on the top of a mountain, overlooking the whole Qingdao from the house. It was occupied by Russians for decades, and the invaders built many villas here.

When Mao Anqing pushed open the door, Mao Zedong was looking at the sea at the window, imagining his son now.

"Dad." Mao Anqing let out a cry softly.

Mao Zedong turned to his son, gave him a gentle hug and patted him on the shoulder.

Mao Anqing at the moment, middle-aged, burly, dressed very neatly, basically can't see the appearance of illness. I haven't seen my son for a long time, and Mao Zedong has tears in his eyes.

After the staff went out, Mao Zedong talked seriously with his son. Mao Zedong said: "You are not young, it's time to find someone." Mao Anqing understood his father's meaning and said he couldn't find it.

In fact, Mao Zedong had long heard that his son got along well with a little nurse, so he asked some tentative questions.

Of course, Mao Zedong is well aware that as the children of a country's leaders, they are somewhat "stressed". Imagine how they felt when they learned that their love object was the child of a country's leader.

Mao Zedong said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with that little nurse. Do you have a crush on him? "

Mao Anqing said, "No, our cultural experiences are very different."

Mao Zedong said with a sigh, what do you want people's experience to do? People are like you. Dad is 64 years old this year.

This is not the first time that Mao Zedong has earnestly said that Mao Zedong said, "When you are in love, don't mention your father's name, and don't say that you are my son, Mao Zedong."

Mao Zedong has a strong heart and seems to be very patient: "When you were in love, you said you were an interpreter of the Propaganda Department of the CPC. Dad suggests that you find a worker or a farmer, which may still help you a little. You have high requirements and strong ability, which is not good. You are moping and sulking all day. What's the point? "

Mao Zedong's words are plain and true, and Mao Anqing can see his sense of responsibility and patience.

In this conversation, Mao Zedong thought that his son had listened, so he talked with him about Yang Kaihui. He often hears his son say that he misses his mother, and Mao Zedong seems to feel very guilty about his son.

Mao Zedong began to write: "Anqing, this is a sentence I wrote not long ago. Look. "

Mao Anqing read softly: "I lost my pride, Yang Jun lost the willow, and the willow was light. Asked what WU GANG had, WU GANG held out osmanthus wine. "

Mao Anqing is reading, Mao Zedong is smoking, and Yang Kaihui is in my heart. This word was written by Mao Zedong to Li Shuyi, a good friend of Yang Kaihui. He has a good relationship with Yang Kaihui. Li Shu always asks Chairman Mao for words, but Chairman Mao didn't give her old words, but created a new one.

From 1927 to 1957, Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui were separated for 30 years, and they loved each other for many years. Now only Mao Anqing, the same flesh and blood, has changed. Is it a barrier to the east and west of the river?

That is, in this conversation, Mao Zedong tentatively asked Mao Anqing: "Since you think this little nurse is not suitable, what do you think of your sister-in-law's sister?"

Mao Zedong's problem is related to Mao Anqing's mind.

"Your sister-in-law's sister" refers to Liu Siqi's sister Shao Hua.

When Liu Siqi got married, Shao Hua often followed her sister to Zhongnanhai to play, and gradually became familiar with Mao Anqing. At that time, Shao Hua was still a little girl with a ponytail. Now she is a big girl, studying in Peking University.

If Mao Anqing can be friends with Shao Hua, it will be a kiss on the cheek.

1959, after returning to Beijing from a meeting in Lushan, Mao Zedong presided over the wedding of his daughter CoCo Lee. Mao Zedong was very happy. This is the wedding of Mao Zedong's first daughter, and he is naturally much happier than before. No, a year later, there was good news.

1960, Shao Hua borrowed the opportunity to study in Dalian and wanted to see Mao Anqing. Mao Zedong learned from Li Ne that they had written to each other, and Shao Hua was going to Dalian. He asked Li Ne to send a letter to Mao Anqing.

(Excerpt) My son:

I hear you often write to Shao Hua, don't you? Do you want to be friends? Shao Hua is a good boy. You can talk to her. If you have a letter, ask Shao Qihua to bring it back.

Have a nice day.

Mao didn't want to, Anqing immediately showed it to Shao Hua after receiving this letter, and Shao Hua knew the meaning of Chairman Mao.

This year, the leaders of Dalian Municipal Party Committee knew that Mao Anqing and Shao Hua were in love, and kindly brought the two children together, and soon held a wedding for them.

The wedding of Mao Anqing and Shao Hua was held in a hotel in Dalian. Mao Zedong was very happy when he learned the news. This is a great event in his heart, and now the dust has finally settled.

However, Shao Hua and Mao Anqing, newly married, also have many minor problems in their lives, and it is normal for both sides to have emotions. After Mao Anqing and Shao Hua were a little uncomfortable, they each wrote a letter to Chairman Mao, as if telling their unhappiness.

Mao Zedong, a n experienced person, naturally knows how to persuade him. Of course, as a father, Mao Zedong seems to have a better way in this regard.

At that time, Mao Zedong, who was visiting all over the country, took time out of his busy schedule to write a letter to his daughter-in-law, which read:

You should keep healthy, pursue your future firmly, be less girlish and more manly, do something for the society and look forward to it. Read more about the article "Shanghai Association". I am endless.

March 6

Mao Zedong said in his letter, "Evil" is a folk ballad in the Han Dynasty, in which there is a famous saying that there is no mausoleum in the mountains, and the river is exhausted. Unless the towering mountains disappear, unless the raging rivers dry up. Unless thunder rolls in the cold winter, unless it snows heavily in the hot summer, unless heaven and earth meet and connect, I dare to abandon my feelings for you until such a thing happens!

That is to say, I love you, unless the lofty mountains disappear, unless the raging rivers dry up, unless it is hot and snowy, unless the heavens and the earth intersect, I dare to abandon my affection for you!

Clever Shao Hua, seeing this letter from his father Mao Zedong, Mashan understood his father's intention. Mao Anqing is in poor health, and Mao Zedong is encouraging Shao Hua to know more about the shore and bear more family burdens.

Mao Zedong didn't preach the children's unhappiness, but persuaded them in this way. Shao Hua was soon moved by his father's painstaking efforts. Since then, Shao Hua and Mao Anqing have never had any conflicts.

Two years after CoCo Lee and Kong Linghua got married, they welcomed their baby. This is also the first time that Mao Zedong became a grandfather.

For Mao Anqing, Mao Zedong is more promising.

1969, Mao Anqing is 46 years old, which is the ninth year of her marriage with Shao Hua. But Shao Hua's stomach was motionless, Mao Anqing felt nothing, and Mao Zedong, who wanted to be a grandfather, was anxious.

Don't want to at this moment, Mao Anqing home came the good news, Shao Hua is pregnant. Mao Zedong was very happy. The staff asked Mao Zedong what his plan was. Mao Zedong said that Mao Anqing should take care of Shao Hua.

1970, the sons of Shao Hua and Mao Anqing were born, and Mao Zedong named them "Xinyu", which literally means New World. It means that Mao Xinyu should be like a landslide in Kunlun Mountain, and a new world should be built like a typhoon sweeping across the world after the ideal is realized!

This year, Mao Zedong was 77 years old. As the saying goes, people are over 70. Mao Zedong has been looking forward to this grandson for a long time, and now he is finally a grandfather.

When Mao Xinyu was a child, he was close to his grandfather and often went to Zhongnanhai to play. In Chairman Mao's later years, this little guy can be said to have accompanied him for a long time.

1976, Chairman Mao passed away. Mao Xinyu is only 6 years old this year, but he was deeply moved by his grandfather. After learning of his father's death, Mao Anqing insisted on seeing him off for the last time.

At the memorial service in Tiananmen Square, Mao Anqing broke down in tears.

Mao Xinyu didn't know why his father cried so sadly, but he knew that grandpa had left him forever.

Shao Hua, too, remembered for so many years, Shao had an indescribable feeling about his father's care and love for him. The father's love given by Chairman Mao seems to be more careful and warmer, and nothing can replace it.

Mao Zedong is a great father, and his heart is full of love and pain.

The breadth of his love can be fully felt from his personality charm and legendary stories, but his inner pain is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

For the country, Mao Zedong is a good leader, a good leader; Mao Zedong is a good parent to children.

After Chairman Mao's death, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mao Anqing took their sons to Shaoshan to visit the grave every year. He told Mao Xinyu that your grandfather was great. Never forget him.
