What most people don't know is that the chairman has a nickname called "Shi San Lingzi". Maybe at this time, some people will wonder, obviously he is the eldest of the three brothers, why is he called the three boys?
In fact, Chairman Mao's cousins have a total of 10 people, and he is the third oldest, so he has such a name.
Among the chairman's cousins, there is one person that many people may not know, he is the chairman's cousin Mao Zeqing, who is 1.9 meters tall.
Born in 1916, Mao Zeqing grew up in a poor family, and at the age of nine, he joined the children's group and helped the peasant association stand guard. In 1937, he only went to work with his cousin, and later he did not meet again after Yan'an separated. It was not until the liberation of the whole country that the two met.
At that time, in order not to let others see his relationship with his cousin, Mao Zeqing also changed his name to Mao Yuncai, Mao Wancai.
Mao Zeqing has been living in the northeast with his wife since then, living an ordinary life. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the whole country began to crack down on the "three anti-movements" of anti-corruption, anti-bureaucracy and anti-waste on a large scale. At that time, Mao Zeqing was also the chief of the accounting unit of the Northeast Military Region Army Hospital. During this period, Mao Wancai, who had always lived a very frugal life, suddenly bought a fox fur coat, wore a watch on his wrist, and paid off the family's debts.
Many people began to suspect that in this way, gradually he became a "corrupt criminal" to be cracked down on, his home was raided, and people were isolated. Later, there was no way, Mao Wan told the truth: my cousin saw that I was having a difficult life, and took out his own manuscript fee to send me more than 300 yuan.
At this time, people learned that his cousin was the chairman. It is precisely in this way that people feel even more moved, Mao Wancai never regards himself as a leader's relative, nor does he want any fame and fortune, otherwise, his wife's work can certainly be easily solved.
In 1981, Mao Wancai died in Fushun, and his wife and children still lived in Fushun, living the life of ordinary civilians.
