Chairman Mao had a total of ten children in his lifetime, four of whom were boys, and the endings of these sons were very regrettable.
The eldest son, Mao Anying, was displaced in his early years, and soon after he was reunited with his father, he died on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the second son, Mao Anying, suffered a brain injury when he was young, and was stimulated by the death of his brother, and his mental condition has been unstable since then. The whereabouts of the third son, Mao'anlong, are unknown, and there is a saying that he died of illness at the age of 4.
These three sons were all born to Yang Kaihui, but unfortunately Yang Kaihui was brutally killed by reactionaries in 1930. Later, Chairman Mao accompanied He Zizhen on the revolutionary road and gave birth to his fourth son, Mao Anhong, in 1932.
However, at the time of the Long March, Chairman Mao considered the dangerous road and worried that the child could not stand the bumps, so he entrusted Mao Anhong to his younger brother Mao Zeqin, who remained in the Central Soviet Region. No one expected that this time, the father and son would no longer have the opportunity to recognize each other.
It was not until one day in 1953 that Chairman Mao received a letter from He Zizhen, which read: "After all the hardships, I have found my son Mao Mao, and I will come to Beijing in the next day to meet jun." "This 'Mao Mao' is Mao Anhong's nickname.
With the news of the child, Chairman Mao should logically be happy, but he smoked one cigarette after another, and in the end he did not go to recognize each other.
The second row of the figure: the left one Mao An Ying, the left two Mao An Dragon, the right Mao An Qing
In fact, this also starts from the birth of Mao Anhong.
In the process of establishing the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen came together, and the two had a good relationship, and in 1929, they gave birth to the eldest daughter Mao Jinhua on the way to Longyan.
Because the Red Army was in a difficult environment at that time and often had to march in a hurry, the husband and wife decided to foster the child in the hometown and wait for the situation to improve and then pick it up. However, when he returned to Longyan, he could no longer find the little golden flower.
Chairman Mao and He Zizhen's first child went missing, and I didn't expect the second one to be too.
In November 1932, He Zizhen gave birth to a baby boy in Changting, Fujian Province, and Chairman Mao was very happy about the birth of this child, and named him "Shore Red", which means great victory.
When Mao Anhong was born, He Zizhen was suffering from malaria, and for the sake of the health of his mother and son, Chairman Mao specially found a nurse for Xiao Anhong.
This nurse is a native of Jiangxi, used to use overlapping characters to call the child, has always called Mao Anhong "Mao Mao", and over time Chairman Mao and his wife have also followed Mao Mao.
Mao Mao's eyebrows are very similar to Chairman Mao's, many people say that it is carved out of a mold, Chairman Mao also loves Mao Mao very much, and every time he goes to the hospital, he has to hold the child and be intimate.
When Mao Mao grows up slightly, he is also particularly sticky to his father, and often makes his father laugh with a lively and cute look when his father is unhappy.
During the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, Chairman Mao was very busy with his work and always returned home very late, and Mao Mao waited at the door many times, asking his father to come back before he would eat.
Helplessly, the Central Committee at that time was led by the "Left" ideology of Wang Ming and others, and the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign ultimately failed. In order to survive, the Red Army was forced to carry out a great and difficult long march.
Taking into account the arduous road, the organization required the troops to streamline their personnel and minimize the burden as much as possible in order to speed up the march. In such a case, it is naturally not appropriate to carry a child.
Although Chairman Mao and He Zizhen did not give up, they could not engage in special things, and could only give The little hair to Mao Zeqin and He Yi to raise. Mao Zeqin was Chairman Mao's younger brother, and He Yi was He Zizhen's younger sister, and the chairman was relieved to entrust the child to them.
Before parting, He Zizhen also deliberately borrowed cotton from his hometown, and then cut a part of the gray cloth military uniform he was wearing, and sewed a small cotton robe to wrap his son overnight, which can also be used as a clue to find relatives in the future.
After the Central Red Army left the Soviet zone, the weak base area could not resist the powerful enemy, so it soon fell, and Mao Zeqin, for the safety of Mao Anhong, entrusted the guards to send Xiao Mao Mao to a relative's house in Ruijin, and then they continued to fight on their own.
On April 26, 1935, Mao Zeqin and a part of the Red Army encountered Kuomintang troops in the Honglin Mountain Area of Huangshankou near Ruijin, and in order to cover the transfer of comrades-in-arms, Mao Zeqin was unfortunately killed by a bullet, along with the guard responsible for resettling Mao Anhong.
In this way, no one knows where Mao Anhong went, and although the organization has not given up the search since then, there has been no news, coupled with years of war, this matter has been delayed.
Until the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, He Yi deliberately went to the Xiangshan Villa to meet Chairman Mao once before going south to Jiangxi, and proposed to continue to search for the whereabouts of Mao Anhong. When the sister handed over the little hair to herself, the child was lost, which has always made He Yi feel very guilty.
Chairman Mao thought about it for a while and then said to He Yi: When Mao Mao was still young, we could not take him away, it was the local people who took pains to raise him, and now that our lives are better, we want to take the child back, so what should the adoptive parents of the child do? I think I still let him stay in the folk, so don't look for it again.
However, He Yi did not heed the chairman's advice, and she still traveled around to look for Mao Anhong, but unfortunately she died in a car accident on August 21, 1949, before she could find her.
As soon as He Yi died, no one was as dedicated as she was, and although He Zizhen's brother He Minxue had also sent people to look for him after the founding of the country, there was no clue.
Until 1953, He Zizhen was seriously unwell, and she missed her children at such a moment, so she wrote a letter to Shao Shiping, the governor of Jiangxi Province, to relay all the information she had in these years, hoping that Shao Shiping could help find it.
Shao Shiping attached great importance to this and entrusted this task to Wang Jiazhen of the Preferential Care Department of the Civil Affairs Department of Jiangxi Province.
Wang Jiazhen was already responsible for finding the children left behind before the Red Army's Long March, and after hearing about Mao Mao and the unexpected death of He Yi in search of the child, his heart was very painful, so he personally went to Ruijin to look for it.
This work is not easy, Wang Jiazhen asked all over the local old Red Army without a single useful clue, he went from village to village to investigate, walked for a month and a half, footprints through 7 or 80 villages, still no clue.
Fortunately, one evening, Wang Jiazhen met two farmers near Yeping Township and casually talked to them. One of the old farmers said that there was a farmer named Zhu Shengti in Zhufang Village who had adopted a child of the Red Army.
This made Wang Jiazhen overjoyed, and the next day he went to Zhu Shengtian's house, and after understanding, Zhu Shengti and his wife Huang Yueying adopted a child around 1935, which coincided with the time of Mao Zeqin's placement.
That night the couple was preparing to eat dinner when suddenly two Red Army soldiers came, one of whom was holding a child wrapped in a skirt and looking very hurried, and the other said: Uncle Zhu, this is a child of the Red Army, the large army is gone, we are going to fight guerrillas, it is inconvenient to take this child with us, so please take care of it for you and cause you trouble.
Zhu Shengtai and his wife saw that the child was only about two years old, his eyes were red with tears, and his look was pitiful, so he agreed to it, and the two red soldiers thanked him one after another, and soon disappeared into the night.
The two of them named the child Zhu Daolai, which means to pick it up halfway. Since then, they have begun more than 20 years of arduous upbringing.
Just a few months ago, a woman with a letter of introduction from the Air Force Headquarters of the Nanjing Military Region found Zhu Shengti's house. After she saw Zhu Daolai, she immediately decided that it was her child, so she repeatedly asked Zhu Shengti and his wife to take them to Nanjing. Zhu Shengti and his wife were very kind, and although they did not give up, they still agreed to each other's request.
Wang Jiazhen heard that there was some loss here, and asked busily: Is there a picture of Zhu Daolai? Zhu Shengtai took out a photo, and Wang Jiazhen really looked a bit like Chairman Mao.
Then Zhu Shengti and his wife also said a more suspicious place, the cotton jacket relic, the female comrades who picked up Zhu Dao to Nanjing did not ask for it, and said that it was useless. Wang Jiazhen took the cotton jacket and saw that it was the old uniform of the Red Army, and he also had doubts.
How could such an important relic not be needed? Could it be a mistake? After Wang Jiazhen returned, he gave all the information he had learned and Zhu Daolai's photos to the Central Organization Department, which in turn handed them over to He Zizhen.
As soon as He Zizhen saw the photo, he excitedly said: This is my little hair! Subsequently, he asked the organization to bring Zhu Daolai and his adoptive parents to Shanghai to meet him.
In June 1953, Zhu Daolai and his adoptive mother were led to He Zizhen's residence, and since Zhu Daolai entered the door, He Zizhen's eyes had not moved away, and she repeatedly looked at it and cried tremblingly: Child, you are my hair.
At that time, because he did not have the level of DNA identification, He Minxue took Zhu Dao to check the body and found that Zhu Daolai's blood type was the same as He Zizhen. Zhu Daolai's adoptive mother, Huang Yueying, took out the small cotton jacket at this time, and He Zizhen found that it was exactly the same as the one she sewed herself, so she was sure that Zhu Daolai was her own child.
He Zizhen handed over the news together with Zhu Daolai's photo, and comrade Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai both thought it was very similar to Chairman Mao after reading it, so Zhou Enlai forwarded the photo to Chairman Mao.
Chairman Mao took the photo and looked at it repeatedly, and after a long time he said: This child is indeed quite like when I was young.
A few days later, Chairman Mao received a report from the East China Bureau, and it turned out that the "Mother of Nanjing" had come to say something.
The "Nanjing mother", zhu Yueqian, insisted that Zhu Daolai was the revolutionary martyr Huo Buqing and her son, and she accused He Zizhen of snatching her child, and at the same time she also said that if the organization did not return the child, she would commit suicide.
This involved several important revolutionary families, and the Central Organization Department invited Zhu Daolai and his adoptive parents to Beijing to further investigate his identity in order to clarify the matter.
Huo Buqing, who had been the propaganda director of the Political Department of the Red Army School, died in 1933, leaving Zhu Yueqian and a child still in his womb. After Zhu Yueqian gave birth to this widowed child, due to her weak health, she entrusted the child to someone to raise. Coincidentally, the person who helped raise the family was Zhu Shengtai.
In this way, There are two theories about Zhu Daolai's life, He Zizhen and Zhu Yueqian both believe that they are their children and are unwilling to take a step back.
To this end, Deng Yingchao, head of the Organization Department, also held a special meeting and invited many old comrades who understood the situation to explain things clearly, and Comrade Xiaoping said at the meeting: Zhu Yueqian did give birth to a child in Ruijin, and I can prove this matter.
The meeting lasted for three days, and finally Deng Yingchao announced that Zhu Daolai was a descendant of the martyr Huo Buqing.
The matter did not end there, and the East China Bureau specially sent Zhao Shangzhi, director of the General Office, to investigate and collect evidence for the sake of insurance.
Zhao Shangzhi first sought out Zhu Daolai's adoptive mother, Huang Yueying, who had always insisted that Zhu Daolai was Chairman Mao's son, and even though Zhao Shangzhi took out the evidence provided by Zhu Yueqian, Huang Yueying still had this answer.
This complicated matters further, and Zhao Shangzhi wrote to Shao Zhiping, the governor of Jiangxi Province, hoping that the local government would assist. All the information of the local government shows that Huang Yueying's views are correct, and even their village jointly presented evidence that Zhu Daolai was Chairman Mao's son.
In this way, things returned to the original point, and the two "mothers" firmly believed that they were right, and the comrades of the Central Organization Department could not make decisions, so they had to report the results to Chairman Mao.
After understanding everything, Chairman Mao resolutely said: "No matter who gives him over, there will always be people who are sad, in the final analysis he is the child of the revolutionaries, let's hand him over to the organization." ”
This sentence can be seen in the chairman's mind, as far as possible to avoid the dissatisfaction of both sides. So Zhu Daolai did not go to Nanjing, nor did he go to Shanghai, but stayed in Beijing to live, under the command of Shuai Mengqi, deputy director of the Central Organization Department. Whether it is the original adoptive parents, Zhu Yueqian or He Zizhen, you can come to Beijing to see him at any time.
After that, Zhu Daolai studied at the Affiliated High School of Tsinghua University and Tsinghua University, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in a national defense scientific research unit. Although it is not rich and expensive, it is also worry-free.
However, Zhu Daolai died very early, and there are two theories about how he died, one was killed in 1966, and the other was that he died of liver disease in 1971.
The answer to which one is true is already difficult to know, just as whether he is Chairman Mao's son or not is also a mystery.
