1953 was the fourth year of the founding of New China.
On January 1 of that year, the People's Daily published an editorial entitled "Greeting the Great Task of 1953," pointing out that "1953 will be the first year in which the mainland enters large-scale construction," that is, the first five-year plan of the mainland's national economy has been implemented.
On June 30 of that year, the first national census of the mainland began.
On July 13 of that year, the Chinese Volunteer Army launched the Battle of Jincheng, which eventually annihilated more than 50,000 enemy troops and recovered 178 square kilometers of land; on July 27, the Korean Armistice Agreement was officially signed at Panmunjom, declaring a complete victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which lasted more than three years.
In October of that year, China's first modern Chinese dictionary, Xinhua Zidian (phonetically arranged version), was published by the People's Education Publishing House.
In December of this year, the first color film of New China, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", was filmed, which not only swept the country, but also caused a sensation in the world...
But at the end of the year, Liu Siqi, the wife of Mao Anying, a martyr of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, fell into great sorrow.
Lao Qin wrote last year that "After Mao Anying's sacrifice, his wife remarried under the care of Chairman Mao, and the name of the eldest son has a deep meaning", which has already been explained in the article, Liu Siqi married Mao Anying on October 15, 1949, and Mao Anying died heroically on November 25, 1950, and they lived together for a little more than a year after marriage. In the nearly three years after Mao Anying's sacrifice, Liu Siqi did not know anything about it. She only heard the news of Mao Anying's death at the end of 1953.
When Mao Anying rushed to the Korean battlefield, Liu Siqi had just completed appendicitis surgery and was hospitalized.
Mao Anying went to say goodbye to her, only saying that he was going to work in a far place, comforting her, saying that the transportation in that place was not convenient, and that if you could not send a letter or receive a letter, you should not be in a hurry.
Just because of Mao Anying's words, Liu Siqi did not receive his letter for more than three years, nor was he in a hurry.
At the end of 1953, Liu Siqi learned the news of Mao Anying's sacrifice, and only then did he realize that Mao Anying's farewell to the hospital was the last farewell between them, which made him particularly cherish all the details of that farewell, repeatedly recalling and reminiscing.
That day, Liu Siqi saw that the pocket on the chest of Mao Anying's white shirt was dyed blue by blue ink, which was very strange, and asked: "How can your shirt be dyed with ink?" ”
Mao Anying smiled lightly and said: "When the plane took off, the pen tube cracked and the ink leaked out. ”
Careless Liu Siqi did not think deeply.
Later, I learned that Mao Anying had rushed back from a long distance.
Mao Anying instructed her a lot of things, asked her to take good care of her brother Anqing, said that he was no longer in Beijing, "you still have to go to see your father every week, don't want me to be at home, you don't go" and so on.
Before leaving, Mao Anying thoughtfully asked: "There is a Korean Peninsula in the world, do you know it?" ”
Liu Siqi did not react, but said lightly: "I know, there is a war now." ”
Mao Anying praised her: "He said that you are still quite concerned about current affairs." ”
After Mao Anying finished speaking and got up to say goodbye, Liu Siqi struggled to get up to send it.
Mao Anying stopped and said, "You just had surgery, don't send it." ”
But he walked to the door, twisted his head a few times, and didn't take a step on his feet.
The good villain took a step forward, but turned back, very seriously bowed to Liu Siqi, bowed very deeply, and then fled as if away.
Liu Siqi was a little confused.
After all, after getting married, Mao Anying also went on several errands, and each time she did not bow on a business trip, and this bow made her a little confused.
Lao Qin wrote last year, "The Boy Who Puts a Red Scarf on Chairman Mao Was Once the Object of Envy of His Peers, But What Happened To It?" In June 1959, chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan, and hou Bo, a female photographer accompanying him, captured a photograph entitled "Chairman Mao and the Young Pioneers Together", which was published in the People's Daily at the time, and later inscribed by the poet Zang Kejia with the poem "Chairman Mao Wears a Red Scarf", resulting in the poem and photos being selected into primary school textbooks and becoming a masterpiece.
It was this Hou Bo, at the end of 1953, who gave Liu Siqi a photo, a photograph of Mao Anying wearing a volunteer army. Liu Siqi was suddenly taken aback and realized that Mao Anying had joined the volunteer army and had gone to the Korean Peninsula to resist the United States and aid Korea.
At this point, she began to be anxious.
Because the war has been won and the troops have returned to China one after another, why has there been no news of the Shore Britain?
Lao Qin wrote in the article "After Mao Anying's Sacrifice, His Wife Remarried under the Care of Chairman Mao, and Named The FirstBorn Son Has Profound Meaning", and finally confirmed to Liu Siqi that the person who Had died mao Anying was Chairman Mao.
Although Liu Siqi had vaguely had some bad expectations and certain ideological preparations before Chairman Mao personally told her, when she confirmed from Chairman Mao's mouth that Mao Anying had died, she still cried bitterly as if she had been struck by lightning.
Premier Zhou, who was present, had to come over and comfort him, saying: "Good boy, don't cry, your father's grief and sadness are no less than yours!" ”
Liu Siqi forced himself to stop crying.
In the days that followed, she took great care to collect Mao Anying's relics, including diaries, clothes, and used items.
She also tried to contact Mao Anying's friends, collecting and sorting out people and things related to Mao Anying that she did not know about.
Mao Anying had several friends in the Soviet Union at that time, including Cai Bo, the son of Cai Hesen, Li Tete, daughter of Li Fuchun, Liu Yunbing, son of Liu Shaoqi, and Huang Jian and Li Duoli.
Cai Bo told her that before Mao Anying went to the Korean battlefield, he had seriously said to him in Shenyang, "It is estimated that he will not come back this time."
That is to say, Mao Anying joined the volunteer army and was mentally prepared for sacrifice.
Liu Siqi understood that what Mao Anying said to her in the hospital was essentially a will.
Only then did she understand the meaning of Mao Anying's deep bow before leaving.
After that, for a long time, she lived in memories, remembering every bit of her life with Mao Anying.
She read Mao Anying's diary word for word, in which she wanted to merge with her closest lover.
In Mao Anying's diary, the more back, the more frequently a sentence appears.
This sentence is Mao Anying's question to himself, asking: "Am I qualified to be Mao Zedong's son?" ”
Every time he saw this sentence, Liu Siqi's heart would tighten once.
Later, she couldn't bear it any longer and went to Chairman Mao with her diary.
She wanted to hear Chairman Mao's answer to these words with her own ears.
Under the guidance of Liu Siqi, Chairman Mao looked through the same question in his diary one by one.
After turning over the entire diary, he said slowly: "Qualified, he is my pride." ”
Liu Siqi was very excited, looked at Chairman Mao and said, "If Kishi Ying can hear his father say this, he will be very happy!" ”
Chairman Mao did not make a sound and twisted his head to the side. Tears were already filling his eyes.
