Chairman Mao was very concerned about the children's physical and mental health, and his mantra was: "Don't stop the children's scenery.", he more than once warned the aunt at home, Li Yunlu, who is also Jiang Qing's sister, not to interfere too much in the children's affairs, not to control the children too strictly, and to restrict their actions.
In the summer of 1953, during the summer vacation, Chairman Mao's children all took a holiday and came to his old man's house, but the chairman was too busy to find time to play with the children.

So he called Wang Hebin to his side and entrusted him to take Li Min And Li Ne and other children to Beidaihe for a vacation. But Wang Hebin was worried about the chairman's side, and the chairman saw his hesitation, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I'm in good health, nothing will happen, and you can take the kids to play, which is a great help to me." Chairman Mao's earnest words made him understand the mood of the elders, and also made him aware of the significance of the extension of health care work, and he happily accepted the task entrusted to him by Chairman Mao.
The next day, Wang Hebin and Chairman Mao's confidential secretary Luo Guanglu led Mrs. Li Yunlu, her son Wang Bowen, Mao Anying's wife Liu Siqi, Li Min, Li Ne, Mao Yuanxin, and Ye Zilong's two daughters, Yan Yan and Li Ya, to Beidaihe.
Over there. Wang Hebin and Luo Guanglu took the children swimming, climbing mountains, and decided to go to see the sunrise.

Before dawn, they all woke up, touched the darkness, stepped on the tree-lined path on the hillside, and climbed to the top of the mountain.
The colorful world during the day seemed unusually quiet at this time, and only they were mixed into a team, giggling, talking and laughing, arbitrarily breaking through the tranquility of the Beidaihe Hills.
Although this small hill is not high, when they climbed to the top of the mountain, this group of "warriors" were already breathless and sweaty.
Facing east, everyone sat on the bluestone on the top of the mountain, and soon felt comfortable and cool.
The children were excited, all gazing intently at the unclear sea horizon in the East.
The sea, in the gray-silver moonlight, appeared even more vast, making the children feel relaxed, and they looked intently to the east, afraid that the sun would jump out of the sea and not see the wonders of the sunrise.
At the junction of the fish belly white sky and the blue sea, a golden red ribbon suddenly flashed, which was so colorful and magical; it was so brilliant and bright.
The glow before the sunrise sucked the children's eyes and minds away. On their childish faces, in their astonished pupils, they were also coated with a rich layer of light.

"Yikes! Look, the sun is showing, that red piece! Or "sincerity of heart is spirit", the first to find the sunrise is the child who gazes reverently at the corner of the east.
With the advent of the sun, each child's face was painted red.
"Dr. Wang! How is the sun elliptical? ”
"Ah! How is it that the rising sun and the sea are still connected to a piece of the tidi-like thing?! ”
"Quick! Take a look! The sun seemed to jump a little before it left the sea! ”
When the children asked questions, they all set their eyes on Wang Hebin, as if they thought he knew more than them, but in fact, he knew very little.
After the children finished asking questions, he told him a little bit of what he knew:
"Because of the reflection, refraction, scattering, and absorption of light in the atmosphere, when we look at the sun through the thicker atmosphere, we find that it is larger, redder, and becomes a horizontal oval. This is not the same as the midday sun..."
The sun is rising. The waves of the sea cut the golden red sunlight into pieces and shone with dazzling light, and the moon seemed to be afraid of the sun, and its face became miserable, forming a faint circle, and finally with the stars in the sky, it was swept away by the strong sunlight.
The children were so happy that they forgot about the fatigue of going up the mountain. If Chairman Mao could take the time to take the children to swim, climb the mountain, and watch the sunrise, it would be a valuable gift for the children, and Chairman Mao would also get the same valuable gift - the children's happy smiling faces.
On the way home, walking down the mountain in the morning light, when the children moved their steps, they found "strange" gifts.

In order to resist the blowing of the sea breeze, in order to survive, in order to stop at the wildflowers growing on the top of the mountain to collect pollen and make nectar, their wings have become so small that they cannot fly, and they have become only crawling bees, crawling hard to collect pollen on the small flowers growing on the top of the mountain.
After returning to Beijing, the children recounted to Chairman Mao the pleasant life of summer vacation in Beidaihe. He was very happy to hear this: "That's good! In the future, I will ask Dr. Wang to take you there. ”
