In the early spring of 2003, the cold Moscow was still shrouded in a low temperature of minus ten degrees, and the visa office of the Chinese Embassy in Russia was full of people. However, on this cold day, a Russian man named Alyosha was slightly special at the visa window. When the staff asked him the purpose of coming, he replied without hesitation: "My Chinese's name is Liu Weining, my father's name is Liu Yunbin, and my grandfather's name is Liu Shaoqi..."
Behind this short dialogue, there is a story that transcends time and space. Liu Yunbin, Liu Shaoqi's eldest son, was born in 1924 in Anyuan Coal Mine, Jiangxi Province. However, his childhood was not as carefree as the average child. At that time, Liu Shaoqi and his wife He Baozhen were devoted to the revolutionary cause and could not take care of their son's growth, so they planned to give Liu Yunbin to a miner for adoption. Fortunately, his sixth uncle, Liu Yunting, appeared in Anyuan and thought that Liu Yunbin should be raised by the Liu family's relatives, so he took him back to his hometown in Ningxiang.
It was not until 1938 that Liu Shaoqi had the opportunity to bring the 14-year-old Liu Yunbin to Yan'an to see the fact that his son had grown up. However, the restraint of the first meeting made Liu Shaoqi both happy and sentimental. Under Liu Shaoqi's embrace, Liu Yunbin finally called out the "dad".
As time passed, in 1949, the Soviet Union successfully exploded its first atomic bomb, and Liu Yunbin was deeply aware of the two sides of the atomic bomb, which had both destructive power and peace. Therefore, he decided to specialize in nuclear chemistry and contribute to the atomic energy cause of his country. Although this meant that he had to give up his existing major and study from scratch, he made this choice.
But on the road to study, Liu Yunbin was not all smooth sailing. In order to adapt to life in China, he also returned to China with his Russian wife Mara. However, cultural differences and language barriers make their lives not easy. Although they tried to adapt, in the end, the love of the two could not withstand these pressures, and the couple who were married in the Soviet Union eventually chose to separate.
However, Liu Yunbin did not give up because of this, he insisted on giving up many personal things for the sake of his country and people. He completed his studies and became a senior researcher at the Moscow Institute of Chemistry, contributing to the development of the Motherland. At the same time, however, his relationship with Mara became increasingly estranged and their communication diminished.
By chance, Liu Yunbin's eldest daughter, Liu Aiqin, learned the whereabouts of Alyosha's family from Moscow classmates, which also allowed long-lost relatives to finally reconnect. After a long separation, Liu Yunbin's son Alyosha finally decided to return to China. However, the road back to China was not smooth, and after some twists and turns, Alyosha finally realized his dream of returning home.
Alyosha returned to China, and after spending time with his loved ones and reminiscing, he finally found a sense of home in China. With the help of his family and friends, he reconnected China and Russia and became a bridge of friendship between the two countries. Today, Alyosha lives happily and satisfactorily, moving between China and Russia to promote cooperation between the two countries.
From Liu Yunbin's transnational story, we see the image of a hero who sacrifices his personal for the interests of the country and the people. The tortuous love between him and his wife Mara also makes us experience the helplessness and persistence in life. Alyosha became a family bond, and life across the two countries was full of hope and responsibility.
The story of this family not only reflects a person's choice and perseverance in the torrent of history, but also pins on the development and progress of a country. As Liu Shaoqi said in his letter: "When personal interests and the interests of the party conflict, I believe that you will be able to unconditionally sacrifice your personal interests and obey the interests of the party and the country." This sentence has undoubtedly become a portrayal of Liu Yunbin's life.
