On January 7, 2021, Liu Siqi, the daughter-in-law of the great leader Chairman Mao, died at the age of 92. Liu Siqi's name is not familiar to the people, but her life is full of too many regrets and helplessness, until she met the amiable Chairman Mao, the lover who made her unable to let go for a long time, her life underwent major changes. According to the original plan, Liu Siqi would stay with Mao Anying for the rest of her life, but the sudden change made her life fall to the bottom again.
As a father, Chairman Mao had just experienced the pain of losing his son, but he calmed Liu Siqi's emotions at the first time, and helped her step by step out of the psychological shadow and bravely embrace a better future life. Later, Liu Siqi successfully remarried and gave birth to four children with her husband, in order to commemorate Mao Anying and the kindness of the Mao family to her, she left the word "Ying" in the name of her eldest son, and whenever she saw this word, the memories of the Mao family would come to mind.
Liu Siqi has a deep relationship with the Mao family, even to the generation of her father, that is, the friendship between the revolutionary martyr Liu Qianchu and Chairman Mao. At that time, Liu Qianchu and his wife Zhang Wenqiu had long admired the leader, and at a meeting, they had the privilege of getting to know Chairman Mao, and the two families thus formed a deep friendship. While chatting, Liu Qianchu and his wife learned that Chairman Mao had two sons, so they quipped: If we give birth to two girls, then we can marry as relatives. Unexpectedly, this joke came true more than twenty years later, the eldest daughter Liu Siqi married Mao Anying, and the second daughter Shao Hua married Mao Anqing.
When Zhang Wenqiu was pregnant, Liu Qian's junior party members and cadres were betrayed by traitors, resulting in the couple unfortunately falling into the hands of the enemy. At that time, Liu Qianchu was the secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, and the enemy was eager to extract information from him about the Shandong Party organization, so he used all kinds of cruel punishments. Soon after, Liu Qianchu knew that he would not survive, he entrusted his wife to rescue him from prison, and before leaving, he also thought of a beautiful name for his daughter " Si Qi "Qi", "Qi" refers to the qilu land he loved deeply, but unfortunately his blood was sprinkled on this land. With her husband's last wishes, Zhang Wenqiu fled with her young daughter, and we don't know what kind of suffering she encountered during the period, but it was such a thin mother who stubbornly survived with her daughter, and finally waited for the rescue of the party organization.
In 1938, Zhang Wenqiu and Liu Siqi went to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, and the mother and daughter did not want to trouble Chairman Mao and temporarily lived a life of anonymity. Daughter Liu Siqi has loved acting since she was a child, and she was selected by the leaders of the army to participate in the drama performance, who knew that the wonderful performance attracted Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao learned that the little actor on the stage was the daughter of the martyr Liu Qianchu, his expression became solemn and his heart was very unhappy. Liu Qianchu gave his life to protect the party organization, but his wife and daughter have fallen to the point where they are today, and Chairman Mao is full of guilt for his dereliction of duty. After the performance, he personally visited Zhang Wenqiu's mother and daughter and solemnly said to the soldiers around him: "Si Qi is the descendant of the martyrs, and we must take good care of their mother and daughter." ”
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Siqi and her mother were sent to a safer place until 1946, when they returned to Chairman Mao,who decided to treat her like his own daughter. Soon after, Chairman Mao's two sons returned to China to work one after another, and Liu Siqi also met Mao Anying, a young man with lofty ideals that her mother said, and she had a good feeling for Mao Anying just by looking at them. Mao Anying learned of Liu Siqi's tragic experience from his father, and he consciously assumed the responsibility of a brother, took meticulous care of Liu Siqi, and also sparked love. On October 15, 1949, the two families took advantage of the lively atmosphere of the founding ceremony to hold a very simple wedding for Mao Anying and Liu Siqi, and Chairman Mao, as the wedding host, had a happy smile on his face, and the old comrades present sent their blessings one after another.
Unfortunately, this marriage did not last long, Mao Anying rushed to the Korean battlefield, but after the war, he could not return with a large army, and he was buried in the cold land forever. After the loss of her husband, Liu Siqi washed her face with tears all day, and Chairman Mao took pains to get her out of the psychological shadow, first arranging for her to go to the Soviet Union for further study, and then sending people to find a suitable husband for her, and finally Liu Siqi married Yang Maozhi, an air force instructor. Liu Siqi has remarried, but this does not mean that she will forget Mao Anying, the name she gave to her eldest son "Yang Xiaoying" is full of misses for Mao Anying, and from time to time she will tell the story of Mao Anying to her children. Due to the grim situation at that time, Liu Siqi's plan to go to North Korea to pay tribute to Mao Anying could only fail, and it was not until 1990 that Mao Anying's pension was implemented by the relevant departments and sent to Liu Siqi's hands.
In 92 years of life, Liu Siqi's first half of life was full of ups and downs, and she also experienced the coldness of the world. Fortunately, she met a good "father" like Chairman Mao and a good husband like Yang Maozhi, and only in the second half of her life could she live so happily and harmoniously and die in peace.
