Mao Anying and his wife Liu Siqi
"If there is no north-south road outside the door, the world should be free from worry. ——Du Mu"
Beijing 301 Hospital, October 13, 1950.
Liu Siqi was lying on the hospital bed, thinking about Mao Anying in his heart, although he missed it, he couldn't disturb it, and in two days it would be the first anniversary of his marriage, and he didn't know if he could see each other.
More than 10 days ago, on September 30, I was rehearsing formations in Tiananmen Square in preparation for the National Day parade. However, just when resting between training, I suddenly felt very hungry, tired and sweaty frequently.
I originally thought that it was just the cause of low blood sugar caused by hunger, but I didn't pay attention to my physical discomfort, so I ate a bowl of noodles at a nearby restaurant. Because she was uncomfortable, she ate the noodles more slowly, spent more time, and didn't care about the pain when she gathered for training, and trotted away, because she didn't want to be said to be special.
After finally insisting on training, I returned to the west wing of the Juxiang Book House in Zhongnanhai Fengzeyuan, and just arrived at the west wing room and lay down on the bed, my stomach hurt so badly, I turned over and over on the bed for a while, I didn't know what to do, it would be good if Kishi Ying was by my side at this moment.
Liu Siqi
At this time, Mao Anying was working hard with the workers of the Beijing Machinery General Factory, and although he was the deputy secretary of the general branch of the party, he was always with the front-line workers, and he said to himself, "I am a very ordinary and ordinary little screw of a great machine." ”
Kishi Ying has always been very busy, the two meet and go in a hurry, even at home, there are often Soviet experts and others to visit or talk about work, belonging to the newlywed world of the two, a total of only 20 days.
For Mao Anying's absence, Liu Siqi is used to it, but this day the stomach hurts really badly, and when people are vulnerable, the person they want to see the most is the person who depends on and wants to rely the most.
Just when Liu Siqi was in pain, Jiang Qing happened to walk through the west wing room, and immediately arranged to send Liu Siqi to the 301 hospital, and was immediately diagnosed with acute appendicitis and needed immediate surgery.
However, according to the hospital's regulations, the family must sign for the operation, and at this moment, Kishi Ying is not around, and his mother Zhang Wenqiu, who works in the Bank of China, cannot be found for a while, and as for Chairman Mao, who has every opportunity, no one dares to bother him because of such things.
However, once the appendix caused a perforation in a certain part, the consequences were unimaginable, so the director of the 301 Hospital made a decision immediately, and as the director of gynecology, she immediately performed appendectomy surgery for Liu Siqi, and Liu Siqi recuperated in the hospital after the operation.

Mao Anying learned that his wife was hospitalized for surgery on the second National Day, until the evening Mao Anying hurriedly arrived, when he saw the emaciated and weak Liu Siqi, Mao Anying was distressed, he held his wife's hand tightly, softly apologized and told about lovesickness, and comforted his wife to rest well, but there were important things to do, saw that he had to leave, and promised to return soon.
Hurriedly seen, hurriedly parted, after Mao Anying left, Liu Siqi left tears, this tear is both reluctant and distressed, distressed by Kishi Ying, but also distressed by himself.
Who would have thought that when the two met again, it would be when Mao Anying was about to go to the Korean battlefield.
Mao Anying and Liu Siqi first met in Yan'an.
In 1937, with the transfer of his mother Zhang Wenqiu, Liu Siqi also followed to Yan'an. After arriving in Yan'an, Liu Siqi was deeply attracted by opera, and she liked the state of performing on stage, so the head of the troupe included her in the troupe, cultivated her carefully, and often let her perform on stage as a young actor.
In the Spring Festival of 1938, Japan was acting wantonly on the land of China, and the city of Nanjing was suffering unprecedented slaughter, which was the most humiliating and hated moment for the Chinese nation.
In the face of Japan's "three-light policy," Yan'an, far away, could only avoid its edge, adopt guerrilla warfare and protracted warfare, and leave behind revolutionary sparks in order to set fire to the entire Chinese land and finally drive the Japanese aggressors out of China.
In order to ease the pressure of war and strengthen ideological education culturally, Yan'an held a simple Spring Festival activity during this Spring Festival, during which a drama "Foundling" was held, during which Liu Siqi, who played a small role, left a deep impression on Chairman Mao. After the performance, Chairman Mao asked the staff around him about Liu Siqi's situation, and the staff told Chairman Mao about Liu Siqi's situation, and it turned out that Liu Siqi was the child of Liu Qianchu, a martyr and Zhang Wenqiu.
In 1927, 30-year-old Liu Qianchu joined the Northern Expedition Army, officially joined the Communist Party of China, and soon met Zhang Wenqiu, then deputy secretary of the Jingshan County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhang Wenqiu was 24 years old, the two fell in love at first sight, and cherished common ideals, and soon married in Wuhan.
Liu Qianchu
Soon after the marriage, the two visited Chairman Mao's house, and Mao Anying, a four-year-old child, met Liu Qianchu and his wife, and was afraid to snuggle in his father's arms.
Looking at Liu Qianchu's newlywed Yan'er, Chairman Mao sent his most sincere wishes, hoping that the two could give birth to a noble son early and be happy and loving, and made a vow that if they gave birth to a daughter, they would be daughters-in-law to the chairman's family, who knew that a word would come true.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Mao Anying followed his mother and two younger brothers back to Bancang in Dongxiang, Changsha County, where Chairman Mao led the revolution and the family was never reunited.
Liu Qianchu was also betrayed by traitors in Shandong two years later, and at this time his daughter Liu Siqi was only three months old, Siqi, Liu Qianchu, who was born in Pingdu, Shandong, expressed his longing for his homeland in his daughter's name.
When her husband was arrested, his nursing wife Zhang Wenqiu ran to the rescue many times, but failed to succeed, and in order to completely suppress the Communist Party, the Kuomintang reactionaries tied Liu Qianchu to the square and executed.
Zhang Wenqiu under the square, watching her husband die tragically in front of his eyes, was full of grief, but when he thought that his three-month-old daughter had no one to take care of, he could only turn grief into strength, even if he could only rely on his daughter, he had to raise his daughter as an adult, and he had to wait until the day of the victory of the revolution.
Zhang Wenqiu and his daughters
With the need for underground work, Zhang Wenqiu had to take his daughter to many places in China, and the sensible little Siqi never made trouble when his mother was working, and played quietly by himself.
In June 1946, Liu Siqi, his mother Zhang Wenqiu, and his sister Shao Hua came out of a prison in Xinjiang, where they were imprisoned by Sheng Shicai for six years, and finally with the assistance of General Zhang Zhizhong, then chairman of Xinjiang Province, the mother and daughter were sent to Yan'an along with more than 100 other imprisoned comrades.
After several twists and turns, Liu Siqi and his mother finally arrived in the "holy land" Yan'an in 1937, and it was also at the Spring Festival performance the following year that Chairman Mao learned that they had come to Yan'an, so after the performance, they went to their residence, which they had not seen for many years, and after talking, they learned that Mao Anying's mother Yang Kaihui had also died.
When Yang Kaihui gave birth to Mao Anying, because of his weak body and his due date, he did not see movement for a long time, which was a difficult birth, but at this time, Chairman Mao was dragging his tired body due to the previous day's running in the heavy rain, and continued to fight, and there was no time to estimate his wife and children.
It was not until the second day of the victory of the strike, that is, the third day after Yang Kaihui gave birth to Mao Anying, that Chairman Mao quickly put down the work at hand and rushed to Xiangya Hospital to visit his wife and child.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Yang Kaihui and her son moved back to their hometown for three years, and three years later, the Hunan warlord He Jian arrested her and her three sons Mao Anying, Mao Anqing, and Mao Anlong in prison in order to invite merit, and coerced and lured her to disassociate herself from Chairman Mao and tell Chairman Mao's hidden place.
The loyal and unyielding Yang Kaihui did not compromise until death, because of love, even if sacrificed, he was unwilling to disassociate himself from Chairman Mao, so he was finally brutally killed by the executioner.
Yang Kaihui
Young Mao Anying and his younger brothers, looking at their suffering mother, were distressed, but they could not do anything, they were unable to protect themselves, but fortunately they were released on bail by the squires to escape.
Mao Anying and his two younger brothers returned to their grandmother's house in Itakura, but their lives were extremely difficult and they were often threatened by He Jian to "cut grass and remove roots". In order to survive, Mao Anying had to take his younger brother Mao Anqing out to beg.
Mao Anying and his younger brother Mao Anqing moved to Moscow under the care of Premier Zhou and the help of Dong Jianwu, and Mao Anying entered the Suya Non-commissioned Officer School, the Moscow Lenin Military and Political School, and the Frunze Military Academy to study, and after graduation became a lieutenant and participated in the Soviet-German War as an instructor of the Soviet Tank Company.
After the war, in January 1946, he flew home with doctors sent by the CPSU to Yan'an. Before leaving, Stalin specially received him and presented him with a pistol, which he always carried with him.
Mao Anying, who returned to his father, was already a 24-year-old young man who grew taller than Chairman Mao, and in Yan'an, Mao Anying was very happy to see Li Min and Li Ne, who had grown up, and at this time he also met Liu Siqi, the "godsister" who would be with him.
Chairman Mao, Mao Anying, Liu Siqi
The two looked at each other and smiled, although they had not seen each other, they both felt familiar with each other, this was love at first sight, and the two people sat together with red faces, after all, they were twenty years old.
Mao Anying has a good impression of this "god sister", gentle and generous, beautiful and flexible, and deep love grows in his heart like this, only this side, Mao Anying is determined to marry Liu Siqi.
Because she has not lived a good life since she was a child, Liu Siqi's body is a little weak, Mao Anying is very distressed after knowing it, takes extra care of her, and often takes the initiative to help her undertake part of the work.
Love breeds in the hearts of the two people day by day, if Mao Anying is not by Liu Siqi's side on a business trip, Liu Siqi will take the initiative to write to him, and Mao Anying will always bring back something she likes to Liu Siqi every time she returns from a business trip.
When the two were together, they also talked about when they were children, and the same suffering experience made Mao Anying and Liu Siqi's hearts highly compatible, Mao Anying once said:
"Liu Siqi and I are like two bitter melons on a vine, both of whom experienced a lot of hardships when they were young."
In this way, in the end, two young hearts came together.
Chairman Mao was very satisfied with his son being with Liu Siqi, so he discussed this affair with Zhang Wenqiu, and Zhang Wenqiu also agreed.
But at this time, Liu Siqi was still a few months away from his 18th birthday, and according to the marriage policy in the Liberated Areas, it was not in line with it, so Mao Anying also found his father to talk about marriage, thinking that it was only a few months away, and there were many people who were married before the age, hoping that his father would agree to their marriage, but what he got was a sentence "Who called you Mao Zedong's son!" Our discipline you don't obey? I repeat, Siqi is not allowed to marry before you are 18 years old! ”
The father's "stubbornness" made Mao Anying very angry, his face turned white, he turned his head and left, returned to the room and lay on the bed and cried, no one could persuade him, his heart was full of grievances, why can others, but Mao Zedong's son cannot!
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
After a few weeks of the Cold War, Mao Anying took the initiative to admit his mistake to his father, and Chairman Mao was also very pleased, so when Liu Siqi turned 18, the two young men officially married each other.
That day was October 15, 1949, and this wedding was also stained with the joy of the founding of New China.
However, the wedding was not as sensational as imagined, nor was it the slightest extravagance and waste, and the entire wedding expenses were taken out of the savings by Chairman Mao, because he specially explained that public money must not be used.
The wedding banquet was just a table prepared in the West Room of Juxiang Library, and the guests were only Deng Yingchao, Zhou Enlai, Cai Chang, Li Fuchun and others.
At the wedding, Mao Anying teased his father and asked his father what wedding gifts he was going to give them, and Chairman Mao heard that his son asked for gifts, so he gave him an "old coat" he had prepared, which he wore when he was working in Yan'an, and followed him for many days and nights, and in the future, he could wear it during the day to protect himself from the cold, and use it as a quilt at night.
Such a special gift, Mao Anying gladly accepted, he knew that this was his father's endless expectations for him, and Chairman Mao felt comforted in his heart to see that his son had started a family.
Mao Anying
After marriage, Mao Anying has been very busy, often away from home, either traveling to other places for technical guidance, or accompanying Li Kenong to visit Sudang as an interpreter, and then staying in the workshop of the Beijing Machinery General Factory, while Liu Siqi, who is alone at home, takes on the responsibility of taking care of Chairman Mao and his two younger sisters.
In this way, a year passed until Liu Siqi was hospitalized with sudden appendicitis.
Mao Anying Qing came back to meet and left in a hurry, the two met again on October 14, and the next day was their first wedding anniversary, Liu Siqi was looking forward to the anniversary, but Mao Anying did not pay attention to it like most boys, because at this moment his heart had flown to the Korean battlefield.
It turned out that as early as a few days ago, Chairman Mao set up a family banquet in the Juxiang Book House for Peng Dehuai who was about to go to North Korea (Peng Dehuai went to North Korea, Chairman Mao set up a banquet, three cups of Maotai under the belly: I will send you a word and a thing), and Mao Anying was the companion, and on this day, Mao Anying became the first "volunteer" soldier.
After the family banquet, Mao Anying, Peng Dehuai and Gao Gang rushed to the northeast where the army had been prepared for several months, and before leaving, he carried the watch given to him by his mother-in-law Zhang Wenqiu, the pistol given to him by Stalin, and a photo of Liu Siqi in his pocket near his heart.
After a few days in Shenyang, Mao Anying could not let go of his sick wife in his heart, and the volunteer army that had been preparing for a long time had received an order from Chairman Mao and the Central Committee, waiting for the order to move, and immediately set out to fight.
However, because when Premier Zhou went to the Soviet Union to seek a promise from Stalin, he suddenly changed his mind and only met the aircraft, artillery, tanks and other equipment needed by China to resist US aggression and aid Korea, but the Soviet Air Force did not dispatch for the time being.
After Chairman Mao received Premier Zhou's telegram, he was very angry and had to immediately call Peng Dehuai, who was preparing to go on the expedition, and asked him to return to Beijing to agree on the dispatch of troops, so Mao Anying flew back to Beijing with Peng Dehuai. (Premier Zhou failed to move troops from Moscow, Chairman Mao slapped the table: We must fight Chinese)
After returning to Beijing, Mao Anying came to the 301 Hospital non-stop, he missed his wife so much, as soon as he saw Liu Siqi, he held Liu Siqi's hand tightly and apologized vigorously.
Seeing this, Liu Siqi pretended to be angry and asked if he still had to leave, Mao Anying nodded, indicating that there was still work, accompany her for a while, and then leave for a foreign place, he said seriously: "I will go to a far away place tomorrow for a business trip." I'm gone, communication is inconvenient, don't worry if you don't hear from me. ”
Liu Siqi and Mao Anying
Liu Siqi took Mao Anying's hand and didn't want to let go, she hated this kind of separation, she wanted to stay with him all the time. However, she knew in her heart how important her husband's work was, and Mao Anying looked at the naïve Liu Siqi and asked: "Siqi, do you know that there is a Korean Peninsula?" ”
Liu Siqi, who has been suffering from illness for several days, was already upset, plus complained that Mao Anying was not around, and even forgot his wedding anniversary, so he did not pay much attention to Mao Anying's unusual conversation, nor did he think of the Korean battlefield where there were frequent wars, but always faced him coldly, let alone have any concerns.
Mao Anying did not tell Liu Siqi the news that he was about to go to the Korean battlefield, he did not want her to spend all day in fear, and did not want her thin body to bear too much, because he was not by his father and brother, and Liu Siqi, as a daughter-in-law, had to take on more responsibilities.
After thinking for a moment, Mao Anying still gave a special explanation to Liu Siqi:
First, no matter what situation you encounter in the future, you must complete your studies and do not rush to work;
Second, every Saturday, go to see your father, if you don't want him away, you won't go;
Third, to help Shore Qing, saying that he is poor in self-care in life, Jiang Qing has no energy to take care of him, and said to his mother (Zhang Wenqiu) to help take care of Shore Qing;
Fourth, be careful with Jiang Qing and have multiple eyes when touching her.
This trip to North Korea, may be sacrificed, before leaving, as a husband, as a son, Mao Anying still can not rest assured of his family and wife, a request, a true love, no one will be an exception.
After speaking, Mao Anying said goodbye to his wife, and after walking out of the hospital, he turned around and bowed deeply to Liu Siqi, who was nestled at the door, Liu Siqi's heart tightened, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
After Mao Anying's back disappeared, Liu Siqi returned to the ward, took out the diary left by her husband from under the pillow, looked at it, and cried while looking at it, and the most written sentence in the diary was: Am I qualified to be Mao Zedong's son?
Chairman Mao and Mao Anying
It is not difficult to see that Mao Anying, as Chairman Mao's son, has unprecedented pressure on him; his father is the leader of the Communist Party, leading the people to defeat the invaders and reactionaries and establish New China.
Moreover, this kind of torture of self-evaluation is cruel in itself, there is no freedom to speak of, every word and deed, every thought, must take out the "Mao Zedong son" ruler to measure.
In fact, Mao Anying also asked Chairman Mao this question before going to the Korean battlefield, but Chairman Mao did not reply immediately, but said: "Dad will tell you when you come back." ”
It's a pity that Mao Anying went here to say goodbye and never returned. For the answer to this question, Liu Siqi also asked Chairman Mao,
When he heard this question, Chairman Mao did not hesitate at all, and replied categorically: "Qualified, he is my pride." ”
Chairman Mao once wrote in his diary:
"I am the son of New China, Mao Anying is my son, if I only let other people's sons go to war, but let my son hide in a safe place to be protected, then what can I do?"
If someone must sacrifice, let my son sacrifice, his sacrifice proves that my Mao family is good! I am forever proud of my son! ”
Qingshan buried faithful bones everywhere, and the shroud of Marge was returned.
