During the revolutionary war, Chairman Mao and his second wife, He Zizhen, had six children, and apart from Li Min, who was well known, the other five children either died prematurely or went into exile and were unaccounted for.
When Chairman Mao's first son Mao Anying died, his second son Mao Anying became his concern, Mao Anhong's nickname was Mao Mao, he was the second child of Chairman Mao and He Zizhen, not long after Mao Mao was born, due to the complicated revolutionary situation, he went into exile and searched for many years without success.
Until one day, He Zizhen rushed to tell Chairman Mao that Mao Mao had found him, but Chairman Mao wanted to give him to the party organization to raise him, and did not recognize him as his son.
The revolutionary situation was urgent, and Mao Anhong was exiled to the people
In such an era of continuous war, the revolutionary contingent was always faced with all kinds of severe tests. In 1933, after the failure of the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" campaign, the revolutionary contingent was forced to carry out a twenty-five-thousand-mile long march.
Before the Long March, in order to streamline personnel and reduce drag, the party organization ordered that the Central Red Army should not be allowed to carry their families on the road. Of course, Chairman Mao, as the leader of the Red Army, could not be different, so he gave his son Mao Anhong to his younger brother Mao Zeqin and his sister-in-law He Yi to raise, and also sewed a small cotton jacket for Mao Mao with his own military cotton clothes, so that he could easily recognize each other later.
After the departure of the Central Red Army troops, the armed resistance of Ruijin in the Soviet area was greatly weakened, and it was soon occupied by the enemy, and Mao Zeqin and He Yi organized guerrilla teams to continue fighting with the enemy, but it was inconvenient and unsafe to carry out the battle with the young Mao Anhong, and for the sake of safety, Mao Zeqin entrusted the guards around him to hand over Mao Anhong to his relatives to raise.
Not long after, in a battle, Mao Zeqin and the guards were shot several times and died for the revolution. Since then, no one knows the whereabouts of Mao Anhong, and later the central government sent people to continue to search, but due to the impact of the war situation, the search process was not smooth, and it was interrupted several times, and finally could not be found.
The two mothers earn sons, and Zhu Daolai is the descendant of whom
As an aunt and aunt, He Yi was very guilty, until the founding of New China, he personally went to the Xiangshan Villa to find Chairman Mao, indicating that he wanted to continue to search for the whereabouts of Mao Anhong, after all, he had lost it in his own hands, and Chairman Mao said: "After looking for so many years without whereabouts, let him live in the folk, no need to look for it again." He Yi did not heed Chairman Mao's advice and continued to search everywhere until August 21, 1949, when she died in a car accident while searching for Mao Anhong.
After He Yi died, no one ever searched for Mao Anhong so hard anymore. Until 1953, He Zizhen's illness gradually worsened, and he missed his son so much that he tearfully entrusted Shao Zhiping, the governor of Jiangxi Province, to find the whereabouts of Mao Anhong.
Shao Zhiping sent people to look around, and after exploring dozens of villages, he finally heard two peasant uncles say, "There is a man named Zhu Shengti in the village who once adopted a descendant of the Red Army, called Zhu Daolai. Carefully inquiring about Fang Zhi, Zhu Daolai's appearance was very similar to that of Mao Anhong at that time, and Shao Zhiping quickly reported the news to the party organization.
He Zizhen was overjoyed when he heard the news and wanted to see this Zhu Daolai with his own eyes. In June 1953, He Zizhen finally met Zhu Daolai, and after carefully examining it for a while, He Zizhen burst into tears and determined that this was his lost and multi-faceted son. For the sake of prudence, He Zizhen also took Zhu Dao to the hospital to determine the blood type, and the two blood types were completely the same.
The mother and son were reunited, happy and harmonious, but the good times were not long, and the Central Party organization received a strange letter of request from a female comrade named Zhu Yueqian, who claimed that her son had been taken away by He Zizhen, and if the organization did not return her son to her, she hanged herself. The son she mentioned in her request was None other than Zhu Daolai.
It turned out that before the Red Army of the Communists carried out the Long March, Zhu Yueqian had also entrusted her child Huo Xiaoqing to a peasant uncle to raise, and this peasant was Zhu Daolai's adoptive father Zhu Shengchen, Zhu Yueqian had come to Zhu Shengchen's house a few months ago and wanted to take her son away. Now he Zizhen and Zhu Yueqian both believe that Zhu Daolai is their son, and things are at an impasse.
On the one hand, Zhu Shengchen and the villagers jointly wrote a letter indicating that Zhu Daolai was Chairman Mao's son Mao Anhong, because when Zhu Shengtai accepted the child, he also received a small cotton jacket made of red army cotton clothing, and when Zhu Yueqian took away her son, she did not think much of the small cotton jacket. However, He Zizhen confirmed that the needlework of the cotton jacket was exactly the same as that she sewed at that time.
On the other hand, Zhu Yueqian indicated that Zhu Daolai was his own son Huo Xiaoqing, and that he personally called his son into Zhu Shengtao's hands. Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who is Zhu Yueqian's direct leader, can also testify for her, and Zhu Yueqian did have a son and handed him over to Zhu Shengti to raise. At this point, it was still impossible to determine who Zhu Daolai's child really was.
The descendants of revolutionaries must be raised by revolutionary organizations
Although Chairman Mao felt that Zhu Daolai was somewhat similar to his own brother Zhu Zeqin, his character was somewhat different from that of Mao Mao when he was a child, and it was related to two revolutionary families, and it was not appropriate to judge the child to anyone. ”
Therefore, Zhu Daolai stayed in Beijing, and under the cultivation of the party organization, he was eventually admitted to Tsinghua University, and after graduation, he was employed in a scientific research unit in the Ministry of National Defense.
epilogue
Whose child Zhu Daolai really is, no one will pursue it any further, no matter whose child is the child of the revolutionaries and the people of New China.
Of course, as Far as Zhu Daolai himself is concerned, he is actually very clear about whose child he really is. In the special period that followed, he wrote in his review book: "I was not honest enough to resist temptation, I always knew that I was the son of Zhu Yueqian and Huo Buqing, but I felt that I was more proud to be the son of Chairman Mao, so I chose to hide..."
In 1971, Zhu Daolai died of liver disease. Since then, the question of whose son he really is has been buried in the long river of history with his departure and no one has mentioned it again.
