On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao solemnly announced the founding of the People's Republic of China on the upper floor of Tiananmen Square. Since then, the Chinese people have completely stood up and Chinese people have lived a stable life.
The founding of New China was fought through hardships and hardships, and countless revolutionary martyrs bought with their blood and lives. The peaceful life was not easy to come by, and the Communist Party of China went through difficult years and finally won the victory of the revolutionary cause.
Countless Communists lost their lives on the road of revolution, and the great leader Chairman Mao also lost many relatives because of the revolution. In 1966, the Hengshan County Party Committee found a tombstone, and only a "Mao" character was exposed on the tombstone, and the identity of the owner of the tomb was revealed after digging deeper.

This person with the surname Mao was None other than Chairman Mao's sister Mao Zejian. Mao Zejian was Chairman Mao's most cherished sister, and she was chairman Mao's first relative lost in the revolution. Mao Zejian was also a great female revolutionary fighter, and her revolutionary spirit was deeply moving.
Mao Zedong's sister Mao Zejian
In 1966, a tombstone with only the word "Mao" exposed was discovered, located on the banks of the Xiangjiang River. After digging deeper, people found that this was the tomb of Mao Zejian, a revolutionary female fighter. Mao Zejian was Mao Zedong's cousin, and due to his family's poverty, he inherited mao Zedong's parents from an early age.
Mao Zejian was born in October 1905 in a poor peasant family in Shaoyuan Village, Shaoshan Township, Hunan Province, and Mao Zejian's parents were sick and too unable to support her, so he passed her on to Mao Zedong's father.
Mao Zejian grew up with Mao Zedong from an early age, and the brother and sister relationship between them was very good, and Mao Zedong loved this sister very much. Mao Zejian's childhood was relatively warm, but after the death of Mao Zedong's parents, she had to return to her original family.
Sadly, her biological parents sent her to a Xiao family in Lianghu Village, Yanglin Township, next door, to be a child bride. In those days, such things were not uncommon. But in 1921, when Mao Zedong returned to his hometown and learned of the incident, he took Mao Zejian back home.
Mao Zedong scoffed at such feudal habits, and he would never let his young sister accept such an unreasonable marriage contract. At that time, Mao Zedong had already embarked on the road of revolution, and he took Mao Zejian to Changsha and sent her to school.
This can be regarded as a turning point in Mao Zejian's life, knowledge changes fate, and under the guidance of Mao Zedong, Mao Zejian was also exposed to progressive ideas. This also laid the foundation for her to take the road of revolution in the future.
Mao Zedong was Mao Zejian's most trusted brother, and he also planted a revolutionary spark in her heart. She knew that revolution was not easy, but she was never afraid. In the midst of the chaos, she is full of new hope for tomorrow.
In 1923, at the age of 18, Mao Zejian joined the Communist Party of China and became a young member of the Communist Party. She knew what revolution meant, and she never wavered in the revolutionary ideals in her heart.
Under the supervision and teaching of Mao Zedong, Mao Zejian was admitted to the Hengyang Provincial Third Girls' Normal School. During his time at the school, Mao Zejian studied diligently and diligently, and at the same time actively promoted revolutionary ideas among students.
The difficult road to revolution
Mao Zejian once left such a last word before his death: "The revolution is easy to succeed, and we must not make such extravagant expectations." From the moment she became a member of the Communist Party, she knew what revolution meant and how difficult it was to walk the road.
But although this road is full of thorns and full of difficulties and obstacles, Mao Zejian has no regrets. She was ready to dedicate herself to the cause of the revolution, and she had already put her life and death aside.
Great revolutionary ideals have always supported her life path. Mao Zejian was a brave revolutionary female fighter, and after the "May Thirtieth" massacre, she led her classmates to surround the county government and rescue the student representatives who had been unjustifiably detained.
In 1926, Mao Zejian actively developed the cause of women's revolution, she ran night schools and organized agricultural cooperatives. At that time, Mao Zejian was only twenty-one years old, and she was full of vigor and prosperity. She is a revolutionary female fighter admired by many female comrades.
At only twenty-two years old, Mao Zejian attended the first women's congress in Hunan Province, and at this meeting, Mao Zejian was even more determined in her revolutionary ideals, and she was deeply shocked and her blood boiled.
On the back
After Hengyang County, Mao Zejian began to lead the peasants to carry out armed struggle, and she actively developed party members and cultivated the backbone of the revolution. It is worth mentioning that the young Mao Zejian formed the Hengbei guerrilla group.
Mao Zejian is a well-known female guerrilla leader in the Hengbei area, and in the hearts of the common people, she is a heroic and fearless female fighter, and everyone admires her. In 1928, at the age of twenty-three, Mao Zejian cooperated with Zhu De, and Chen Yi led the Shonan Uprising.
Although Mao Zejian was a young woman, she was an important presence in the revolutionary ranks at that time that could not be ignored. She was a representative of female revolutionary fighters, bowing down to death for the revolutionary cause.
In April 1928, because of the betrayal of traitors, Mao Zejian's identity was exposed. After that, Mao Zejian moved to Leiyang and formed a revolutionary armed force to fight against the enemy and diehard landlords. At the same time, the guerrillas, led by Mao Zejian, also actively cooperated with the work of the Red Army.
Mao Zejian has long been a thorn in the eye of the enemy of the opposition, and the enemy is eager to peel and tear her flesh. In May 1928, both Mao Zejian and her husband were arrested, and her husband Chen Fen was soon killed by enemy guns.
At that time, Mao Zejian was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth, she was imprisoned in prison, and finally rescued by comrades. In the process of escaping from the enemy's pursuit, Mao Zejian hid himself in a fellow countryman's home in order not to drag down his comrades-in-arms. At her hometown, she gave birth to a child.
Only 24 years old, heroic and righteous
The enemy must have captured Mao Zejian, so he surrounded and suppressed the village where she was hiding. The baby's cries eventually revealed Mao Zejian's hiding place, and she had just finished giving birth when she was brutally dragged away by the enemy.
In prison, the enemy interrogated Mao Zejian, who used all the torture to get information about the Communists and the Red Army, and in order to pry open her mouth, the enemy also inhumanly abused her.
But no matter how much the enemy tortured Mao Zejian, she always gritted her teeth, and she never forgot her mission as a communist and a revolutionary. She preferred to die unyieldingly, being tortured to the point of not taking human form than betraying her comrades.
Mao Zejian had been dying many times, but the enemy never got a word from her mouth. Mao Zejian was held in prison for more than a year, and she lived a life of darkness, but never lost faith in the revolution.
Mao Zejian's body was seriously injured, there was no medicine, no one to heal, she still lived by firm faith, as long as she still had a breath, she would not live in vain. In prison, she taught her female comrades to read and write, and passed on revolutionary ideas, as well as communist ideas, to them.
Although he was imprisoned, he did not know tomorrow, And Mao Zejian did not live decadently. No matter when and where, her heart is always full of fighting spirit. She did not bow to the enemy and firmly believed that the cause of the revolution would one day triumph.
Unfortunately, Mao Zejian did not wait for the day when the revolution was victorious, and she was unable to see the fruits of the revolution with her own eyes. On August 20, 1929, Mao Zejian bravely rebelled at the age of twenty-four.
Twenty-four years old, in the midst of youth. In such years, Mao Zejian never feared death and never flinched. In the face of the enemy, she firmly said that fear of death should not be the bold words of the Communist Party.
Mao Zejian was shot dead by the Kuomintang at Hengshan Mountain, and nearby villagers stole Mao Zejian's body and buried it quietly, because the situation forced her, so there was only one "Mao" character on her tombstone.
brief summary:
It was only a year after Mao Zejian's death that Mao Zedong learned the news. At that time, Mao Zedong was very sad, and the voice and smile of his sister Mao Zejian were forever engraved in his heart. For the sake of the revolutionary cause, many of Mao Zedong's relatives died.
After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao always remembered his lovely sister Mao Zejian. It was the first relative he had lost on the road to revolution, and she was an indomitable revolutionary female fighter.
After Mao Zejian's death, the Kuomintang ordered that no one should collect her body for her. But nearby villagers remembered the great warrior woman, stole her body in disguise, and simply buried her.
Until 1966, the Hengshan County Party Committee found a tombstone, this tombstone has only one "Mao" word on it, and after digging deeper, people know that this is the cemetery built by the revolutionary martyr Mao Ze. The achievements of the victory of the revolution were not easy to come by, and people will always remember Comrade Mao Zejian, a revolutionary martyr.
