The city of Beijing in the mid-1980s was undoubtedly a sign of the times, and the wind of reform and exploration blew, and the face of this thousand-year-old capital was quietly changing. Carefully observing the masses in Beijing, everyone is full of energy, greeting the rising sun with a vigorous and energetic posture.
At six o'clock in the morning, the morning market in Beijing is already particularly lively, and many people are gathered in front of the tricycle pulling cabbage, bargaining with the boss to buy cabbage ready for winter. In the crowd, an old couple is particularly eye-catching, the man has white hair, but still "picked up" the wife who is snapping up in front, after an hour of "fighting", the two finally grabbed hundreds of pounds of cabbage, the wife cheered happily: "This may be pickled a lot of cabbage." ”
Looking at the way his wife danced with his hands, the man couldn't help but laugh out loud, who could have imagined that the woman dancing in front of him was Chairman Mao's favorite little daughter Li Ne? As if he knew what her husband was thinking, Li Ne skimmed his lips and said: What is laughing? You are not the same, or the old revolutionary who fought in blood, the same as the cabbage.
The identities of both men are not simple, the white-haired man is called Wang Jingqing, who once fought in the front line of the war, served as a regimental commander in the army, and later served as Chairman Mao's guard, and he also has a widely known identity, that is, Chairman Mao's son-in-law. Yes, his wife was Chairman Mao's youngest daughter, Li Ne, who was a full thirteen years younger than himself.
It is reasonable to say that Chairman Mao's children, under the influence of their families, have received a good education and their living conditions are absolutely incomparable, so why did Li Ne appear in the crowded and noisy market? And why did he marry Wang Jingqing, who was thirteen years older than himself? It all started with Li Ne's first marriage...
After graduating from university, Li Ne went to the May Seventh Cadre School in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province, to participate in labor training, and during this period, she actively worked, followed her father's instructions, got along with the people around her, and did not have the shelf of the chairman's family, which made Chairman Mao feel very pleased. But as Li Ne grew older, her marital problems were also taken seriously. Feeling his parents' concern for his life's events, Li Ne knew that he could not continue to do so.
At this moment, a warm and open young man entered the life of Li Ne, a waiter in the guest house, and everyone around him affectionately called him Xiao Xu. Unlike Li Ne's introverted and restrained personality, Xiao Xu was bold and unrestrained, acted competently, and soon launched an offensive against Li Ne, and as the two got along more and more, Li Ne's long-sealed heart door opened to men for the first time. Xiao Xu walked into Li Ne's heart, and the two quickly established a romantic relationship and wanted to get married.
The news reached the parents' ears, the chairman was very enlightened, felt that as long as the two truly loved each other, the identity was nothing, and the mother Jiang Qing expressed strong opposition, she said that marriage is not a child's play, the cultural level of the two is too big to go to the end, and even should find a high-quality student of the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts for him, but because of Li Ne's insistence, coupled with the chairman's consent, this matter finally failed, Li Ne and Xiao Xu walked into the palace of marriage together.
But the mother's worries are not unreasonable, and soon after the marriage, the two began an endless quarrel over differences in living habits, ways of thinking and future planning, at which time Li Ne clearly understood that this marriage was a castle in the air after all, unrealistic. In 1972, the two went through divorce procedures, and Li Ne returned to Beijing with his newborn son Xu Xiaozhi.
A year of married life has devastated Li Ne's spirit and his physical condition has also been problematic. After the death of her father, she could only live with her son and nanny, and the successive blows made Li Ne's temper become grumpy, and frequent quarrels broke out with the nanny, and the nanny soon left her. This period was the trough of Li Ne's life, because of her mother Jiang Qing, she lived a restrained life, often shy, because she bought a dime of meat and was meticulous, she could not move when she bought grain, and she carried her young son upstairs.
Heaven still cares for this unfortunate woman, a woman with a child is always hard, former friends have reached out to help, of which Li Yinqiao and his wife are the most concerned, they hope that Li Ne can get out of the shadow of the last failed marriage and re-form a family. With his help, Li Ne got to know Wang Jingqing, at first Li Ne was still unable to let go of the sad love life of the previous period, with the exchange between the two, they had a deeper understanding of each other, Li Ne knew that Wang Jingqing also had a failed marriage, and attached great importance to the next marriage. The similar experiences of the two people resonated with the two people, and gradually the good feelings increased, and the two hearts became closer and closer.
In early 1984, 44-year-old Li Ne and 57-year-old Wang Jingqing held a simple wedding in Beijing, and the two set up a simple table of wine and dishes at home, inviting several friends to witness their happy moments. Nearly half a hundred years old, Li Ne finally found her own true happiness, after marriage she was taken care of by Wang Jingqing, the two knew each other and cared for each other, Li Ne's face gradually added a bright smile, and the courtyard continued to hear laughter.
Before his death, Chairman Mao had always wanted to return to his hometown of Shaoshan Chong to recuperate, but the state was busy with official affairs and had not been able to fulfill his wishes, and Li Ne had always wanted to fulfill his father's last wishes, but for some inexplicable reasons he did not dare to move forward. Wang Jingqing knew his wife's idea, so he proposed that the two go together, and with the support of her husband, Li Ne agreed. In August 1984, the two boarded a train to Changsha as tourists.
After arriving at Shaoshan Chong, the two first came to the tomb of their grandparents to worship, and then followed the tour guide to visit Xieguping and other places, listening to the most familiar name in the mouth of the tour guide, Li Ne's tears finally could no longer be controlled, looking at this sad and weeping woman, the fellow tourists were very puzzled, and Wang Jingqing, who was comforted on the side, explained: "This is Li Ne, Chairman Mao's little daughter!" For a time, the villagers of Shaoshan Chong rushed to shake hands with Li Ne, and looking at the enthusiasm of his father and fellow villagers, Li Ne was deeply moved.
After years of wishing finally come true, Li Ne was relieved in her heart, looking at Wang Jingqing, who was always by her side, she thought that it would be good to live an ordinary and warm life with such a person for a lifetime. The two have been together for thirty-seven years, and they have been like shadows, never abandoning, Li Ne often said to everyone: "With the old king here, I am happy," probably the immortal couple is just like this!
