One day in 1946, a 17-year-old boy named Zhu Hongxing waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers...". Suddenly, he saw his parents in the countryside of Yangzhou probing around, their faces solemn, as if they were in an emergency.
Zhu Hongxing saw his parents suddenly appear in front of him, and his heart was full of doubt. My parents are old, they don't go out easily, even if they want to go to Shanghai, they should first go to their aunt's house, how did they run to the street? He ran up to them and stopped them: "Mommy and Daddy, how did you get to Shanghai?" At this time, he found that there was a stranger behind his parents.
Father Zhu Wenyu looked at Zhu Hongxing and said, "MaoMao, don't sell newspapers first, let's go to my aunt's house, I have something important to tell you." The strange man followed them back home.
Zhu Wenyu introduced: "Mao Mao, this is a person sent by Mr. Zhou Enlai, and he came to find you. ”
Zhu Hongxing had heard Zhou's name, knew that he was a big man, and looked at the crowd doubtfully: "Looking for me? What are you looking for me for? ”
Zhu Wenyu said at this time: "MaoMao, when we first adopted you, we didn't know your origins and thought you were an orphan." So keep telling you that your biological parents have long since passed away. Now I know that your biological father is still there, he is Liu Shaoqi, and he is a high official in Yan'an. ”
Zhu Hongxing looked at Zhu Wenyu in a daze, too shocked to speak. Zhu Wenyu pointed to the staff member who had come with him and said, "He is going to take you to Yan'an now." ”
In an instant, the earth-shattering change of fate made 17-year-old Zhu Hongxing difficult to accept for a while. Although his biological father was a high official and could give him better conditions for life, Yan'an was unknown to him. He lived with his stepfathers for 14 years and was emotionally inseparable.
Liu Yunruo and his father
Zhu Hongxing choked and said, "I don't want to go to Yan'an, I don't want to leave you." ”
Zhu Wenyu and his wife couldn't help but burst into tears: "MaoMao, we are reluctant to let you go." You have grown up, you have to study and exercise to become a useful person to the country, Yan'an has better conditions, follow us can only suffer for a lifetime. ”
After a long period of persuasion, Zhu Hongxing agreed to go to Yan'an. Before parting, Zhu Hongxing and his adoptive parents took a photo at the Vientiane Photo Studio in Tilanqiao. After Zhu Hongxing returned to Liu Shaoqi's side, he changed his name to Liu Yunruo, at this time he had been separated from his biological father for 14 years.
Why did Liu Shaoqi's son live in a peasant family for more than ten years? How did the organization find Liu Yunruo? What happened to the peasant couple who adopted him?
Liu Yunruo was born to Liu Shaoqi and his original wife He Baozhen (also known as He Baozhen and other names). A native of Daoxian County, Hunan Province, He Baozhen attended the Hunan Provincial Third Girls' Normal School, joined the revolution in his early years, and later worked with Mao Zedong.
In 1923, Liu Shaoqi went to Changsha to report to Mao Zedong and met He Baozhen, and the two fell in love at first sight. Mao Zedong said with understanding: "Comrade Shaoqi, you are working in Anyuan and need help, so let me introduce you to an assistant." ”
Liu Shaoqi immediately replied, "Good! He Baozhen's face was flushed.
After that, He Baozhen followed Liu Shaoqi to work in the Anyuan Road Mine and was assigned as a teacher at the third branch of the Anyuan Workers' Tuition School. Due to the connection at work, the two have a deeper and deeper relationship.
Li Lisan saw the hint and joked, "When will you invite me to drink happy wine?" Two young men, one hey and one smiling, one bowed his head and said nothing. Li Lisan continued, "It seems that I am going to lead you a red line." ”
Therefore, under the "introduction" of Li Lisan, Liu Shaoqi and He Baozhen formed a revolutionary partner. The two experienced the ups and downs of the revolution together, and had two sons and a daughter, Liu Yunruo was the second son, and his nickname at that time was Mao Mao.
It was a stormy time, revolutionary work, at great risk to one's life. For the sake of a common faith, revolutionaries have cast their lives and kinship aside.
Liu Yunbin, the son of Liu's family, was born in 1924, at the height of the workers' movement, and out of the needs of work, He Baozhen and his wife had to send him to his hometown in the countryside for foster care. Her daughter, Liu Aiqin, was born in 1928, at the darkest moment of the revolution after the April 12 coup, and she was sent to a worker activist for foster care three months after her birth, and later sent to the countryside as a child bride.
He Baozhen
Born in 1930, Liu Yunruo followed He Baozhen and grew up to almost 3 years old.
In the winter of 1932, Liu Shaoqi was ordered to work in the Central Soviet District of Jiangxi. How much He Baozhen wanted to go to Jiangxi with her husband, but at that time, the organization arranged for her to serve as the head of the National Mutual Masonic Association and the head of the rescue department, and she needed to continue to work in Shanghai.
He Baozhen chose to put aside his family affection for the time being and obey the organizational arrangement. Before separating from their husbands, they were still talking to each other, and they would see each other again after the victory of the revolution, and no one expected that this parting would be a farewell. At that time, He Baozhen, alias Wang Fenfang, used his identity as a teacher as a cover to rescue the arrested revolutionary comrades and ran around.
In March 1933, Liao Chengzhi was arrested, and Ho Baozhen's rescue activities became more frequent, which led to her being targeted by the enemy. One day at the end of March, several agents blocked He Baozhen at home, and she realized that something was wrong, and before leaving the door, she pushed her son Mao Mao into the arms of the landlord's sister-in-law, begged her to help take care of him, and said: "In a few days, someone will come to pick him up." ”
At first, He Baozhen was imprisoned in the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, subject to interrogation and torture by the enemy, and she only admitted that she was a teacher and did not divulge any secrets of the organization. The enemy took great pains to find out her true identity, so he escorted her to the Nanjing Gendarmerie Headquarters.
He Baozhen underwent many interrogations in Nanjing, but still did not reveal any secrets. The enemy had no choice but to sentence her to 15 years in prison at Tiger Bridge Prison. He Baozhen in prison missed her husband and children very much, and whenever she thought of her 3 children in someone else's home, she burst into tears.
However, in the face of the enemy, the strong He Baozhen did not give in at all, and still led everyone to fight against the enemy in prison and fight for his legitimate rights.
When Ho was arrested, a masonic couple was also arrested. The husband soon turned himself in and rebelled, and the wife, frightened, began to waver. He Baozhen found an opportunity to reassure her: "You are pregnant, your husband will not give you up, as long as you insist that you are a housewife, they can't do anything with you." ”
Later, the woman was indeed released on bail, and because it was a one-line contact, He Baozhen's identity was not revealed. However, after giving birth, the woman was accidentally arrested, and this time under the severe torture of the enemy, she also defected and confessed to He Baozhen.
He Baozhen was taken to re-interrogation and tortured again, but she still did not say a word. The enemy had nothing to do, so he threatened death and shouted angrily: "There are only two paths in front of you, either to live or to die, and if you want to live, you will confess truthfully." ”
He Baozhen said contemptuously, "I want to confess, no!" Damn, there's one! One day in the autumn of 1934, He Baozhen, who was only 32 years old, was killed by the enemy.
There is an old lady Zhu in the Mutual Aid Association, who is influenced by her daughter and still takes the initiative to participate in the revolution in her 50s. Due to her age, she often pretended to be her mother and covered for underground party members. She was later sent to the Freemasons in Shanghai to work as a cover, and she once adopted the son of the martyr Peng Pan.
After He Baozhen was arrested, the organization handed over her son to Mrs. Zhu to raise. Soon after, due to traitors' whistle-blowing, the Freemasonry was severely damaged and forced to be abolished. Mrs. Zhu often shows her face, and it is neither convenient nor safe to carry the child. The organization decided to let Old Lady Zhu try to send Mao Mao away.
If you want to give your child to someone else to take, you must bring it well, but you must be able to find it in the future, where should such a family go to find it? Mrs. Zhu was also from a poor background and did not know a wealthy family. In order to find the right home, she thought about it repeatedly and couldn't sleep for several nights.
Later, she thought of Zhu Wenyu, the son born to her husband and ex-wife. Zhu Wenyu is an ordinary farmer in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, although the family is not rich, he has a cotton playing craft, and his basic life can still be guaranteed. And he was married for many years, has been childless, and only adopted a daughter a few years ago. Mao Mao will not be wronged in his family.
Considering Mao Mao's special identity, Mrs. Zhu did not tell Zhu Wenyu his true identity. Zhu Wenyu always thought he had adopted an orphan.
As the saying goes, "No filial piety has three, and no queen is greater", and the rural feudal ideology was still very strong at that time. Zhu Wenyu always wanted a son, and when he saw Mao Mao, he was really happy to adopt him and named him Zhu Hongxing.
Mao Mao suffered too much as a child, and when he was sent to the Zhu family, he could not speak clearly, he was skinny and skinny, and he also had a body of scabies. Zhu Wenyu went around looking for a doctor to grab medicine for him, and it took almost a year to recover his health and learn to speak.
Zhu Wenyu sometimes went outside to play cotton or short-term work, his wife worked for people at home, knotted nets, and took care of children, and although the family's life was tight, it was also plain and happy.
The two couples love their children very much, and usually eat black noodles by themselves and leave white noodles for children to eat. The eggs laid by the hens at home are also reluctant to sell and are left for the children to eat. Later, Zhu Wenyu also sent his 13-year-old daughter Zhu Honglou and 9-year-old Zhu Hongxing to a private school.
In those days, many rural children did not have the opportunity to study. Even if you go to private school and know a few words, you still have to inherit your father's business - continue to be a farmer. The children of the Zhu family are no exception, after a few years of private school, there is no opportunity to continue further education, Zhu Honglou was married when he was 18 years old.
Twelve- and thirteen-year-old Zhu Hongxing is already very sensible, and seeing that his father is working hard outside for short-term work day and night, he wants to share the responsibility for his father. He told his father that he wanted to learn to do business in Shanghai, but in fact, at that time, doing business was nothing more than being an apprentice, or setting up a stall to sell some small things.
Zhu Wenyu was naturally very happy to see that the child was so sensible. He had a cousin in Shanghai, so he asked her to find a shoemaker and let Zhu Hongxing become an apprentice.
At that time, Zhu Hongxing was still young after all, and he could not support himself when he first arrived in Shanghai. And the aunt's family has many children, and life is also very difficult. Zhu Hongxing, who was sensible, worked as an apprentice while selling newspapers on the street to subsidize living expenses. These days lasted for several years.
In fact, why didn't his biological father, Liu Shaoqi, miss his children all these years? But due to objective conditions, he was unable to find his children. When He Baozhen was arrested, the Central Soviet Region was facing the fifth major "encirclement and suppression" of the enemy, and was later forced to move on the Long March.
It is naturally needless to say that many revolutionary predecessors had to bear the pain of fostering their children in peasant homes precisely because they wanted to start the Long March, and this situation naturally did not allow Liu Shaoqi to pick up his children.
It was not until after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that Yan'an basically stabilized. Liu Shaoqi once said to Zhou En: "The three children are not around, there is no news at all!" Zhou Enlai comforted him and said, "You can rest assured, we must find a way to get them back." ”
In 1938, the organization found Liu Yunbin and Liu Aiqin and took them to Yan'an, but Mao Mao did not have any news. Because the underground party members were all single-line contacts at that time, and most of them used pseudonyms, coupled with the inconvenience of contact, even if it was known that Mao Mao had been taken care of by the organization and arranged by people, it was difficult to find out his whereabouts for a while and a half.
In 1946, Zhu Xiaoyun, the daughter of Mrs. Zhu, who was originally engaged in underground work in Chongqing, was transferred to the Shanghai-Nanjing area, and she met Zhou Enlai and his wife in the Nanjing Plum Garden. When reporting on his work, he mentioned that he saw a child at the home of a relative in Shanghai, who was the son of martyr Li Mou.
Liu Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai
Zhou Enlai was overjoyed after hearing this, and this Li was a pseudonym that Liu Shaoqi's wife, He Baozhen, had used. It was really "nowhere to find to step on the iron shoes, it took no effort at all", Zhou immediately sent someone to investigate and look for it, and finally learned that Mao Mao was adopted by Zhu Wenyu, a farmer in Yangzhou Jiangdu.
At that time, the struggle situation in the Jiangdu area was very complicated, with Qiaoshu Village to the north and the Kuomintang area to the south. Zhu Lou Village, where Zhu Wenyu is located, happens to be in the Liberated Area.
When the central government sent representatives to Zhu Wenyu's home and told him the true identity of Mao Mao, he was shocked. But to take Mao Mao away, Zhu Yuwen also had ten thousand unwilling feelings in his heart, more than ten years of feelings, he had already regarded Mao Mao as his own son, how could he bear to let him leave him?
A responsible person of the delegation patiently advised Zhu Wenyu: "Jade is not a tool, and people are like this." The child's return to his father is more beneficial to his future, and you, as his adoptive father, do not want him to nest in the countryside and be poor for a lifetime, right? ”
Zhu Wenyu did not say a word. The person in charge also comforted: "Children will receive a better education when they arrive in Yan'an, as long as conditions permit, you can still communicate and meet." ”
Zhu Wenyu thought about going, sending the child to Yan'an was indeed more beneficial to his future, and finally agreed to take the central representatives to Shanghai to find Mao Mao. After the organization took Mao Mao away, Zhou Enlai also sent someone to send Zhu Wenyu a sum of child support.
After Mao Mao arrived in Yan'an, he was still very worried about his adoptive father, and wrote to him that "the whole family has been reunited, please rest assured that your father is at ease." In 1950, Liu Shaoqi personally wrote a letter to Zhu Wenyu in the midst of his busy schedule, saying: "My son Mao Mao has been raised for many years, and he is grateful to the point..."
Zhu Wenyu's daughter got married, his son was taken away again, and his original wish to raise a child to prevent old age was disappointed, and he was inevitably lost in his heart. Soon after Mao Mao was taken away, he fell ill, and Zhu Xiaoyun knew his brother's heart knot, tried to comfort him, and paid for his treatment.
After Zhu Wenyu recovered from his illness, he no longer had the heart to run outside, so he put together the maintenance fee he received and his savings, purchased a few acres of land in his hometown, and planted the land as a farmer with peace of mind.
In 1953, Zhu Wenyu's wife died of illness. Liu Yunruo knew, sent 600,000 yuan (old currency, later 10,000 yuan to 1 new yuan), and wrote in the letter: "Father, the country is under construction, the salary system taken by the father, negotiated with the father to take out 600,000 yuan as the mother's funeral expenses." ”
In 1954, Zhu Wenyu also fell ill with hepatic ascites. Over the years, Zhu Wenyu, who was honest and honest, never took the initiative to ask the Liu family, and before he died, he repeatedly chanted Mao Mao and wanted to see him for the last time. Unfortunately, at that time, Liu Yunruo was already studying in the Soviet Union and could not rush back. In this regard, Liu Yunruo was also very sorry in his heart, and during the summer vacation of 1957, he returned home to visit his relatives and wrote to his "aunt" in Shanghai, saying:
It was very sad to learn the news that his father Wenyu had died. He worked hard to raise me in the old man's home, hoping to have a dependency when he was old and weak, but I was still in school, and I really couldn't repay the parenting grace of his old man' family, but I always missed his old man's home.
In 1960, Liu Yunruo returned to China after completing his studies and later became a missile design expert in New China.
From this touching history, we can feel the dedication of the martyrs. It's easy to die, that means a hundred. But the difference between flesh and blood and affection is the most uncomfortable, because it is every minute and second of the stomach, and this boundless concern will be transformed into mental and physical torture. But for the sake of the common faith, the martyrs almost abandoned everything.
A farmer, unknowingly, adopts and cares for the children of a national leader for more than a decade without expecting anything in return. After learning his true identity, he resolutely asked him to return to his biological father. In order to commemorate this period of history, posterity in Zhulou Village, Zhenwu Town, carved a lifelike relief to vividly record this real past.
