Chairman Mao had 10 children in his lifetime.
Chairman Mao had to leave his children behind for the sake of revolution and save a tired China. But Chairman Mao is also mortal in the flesh, how can he not love his children.
Only four of these children have grown into adulthood.
Who are these children?
Revolutionary martyr Yang Kaihui
Yang Kaihui is Chairman Mao's wife and the daughter of Chairman Mao's mentor. The two are in free love and have three sons, namely Mao Anying, Mao Anqing and Mao Anlong.
Later, Chairman Mao separated from Yang Kaihui because of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and Yang Kaihui took care of his son, but he did not expect that this time the separation was a farewell.
In October 1930, Yang Kaihui was captured by the enemy, did not reveal his secret until his death, and finally died heroically at the age of 29.
The eldest son, Mao Anying, died in Joseon
Mao Anying was rescued by the organization after Yang Kaihui's death, and living in Shanghai, Mao Anying and his younger brother were sent to kindergarten. Later, because of the betrayal of the traitors, the kindergarten was also disbanded, and Mao Anying could not contact the party organization at all, so he had to lead his younger brothers to wander.
During the day, Mao Anying went to work as a handyman, shine shoes, and rummage through garbage cans, just like Sanmao in "Sanmao Wandering", but Mao Anying did not steal anything, nor did he give people a godson.
In 1936, they were discovered by the organization, but the third brother died of illness, and Mao Anying Mao Anqing was sent by Chairman Mao to the Soviet Union to study.
Mao Anying worked very hard during school, especially the talent in language, and learned English, German, Russian and other languages at school.
He even went to the Soviet war, invaded Berlin, the capital of Germany, wrote letters to his father during school, and Chairman Mao recommended a lot of books for Mao Anying, all kinds of books.
After graduating from the Soviet Union, he was summoned by Stalin, who also gave Mao Anying a pistol as a gift.
In 1946, after Mao Anying returned to China.
He finally met his father, but after getting along for half a month, Chairman Mao asked him to go to a peasant family to do farm work, Mao Anying went without saying a word, and then Mao Anying brilliantly fulfilled Chairman Mao's requirements, whether it was learning to farm, doing propaganda and a series of other things.
After the founding of New China, he also obeyed Chairman Mao's arrangement, and it can be said that Mao Anying was Chairman Mao's most outstanding son.
In 1950, the Korean War broke out.
Mao Anying was the first to go to Mr. Peng to sign up for the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, became the first volunteer soldier, assumed the name Secretary Liu, and followed Mr. Peng to the Korean battlefield as a Russian translator.
Before going, Chairman Mao instructed: "You are my son, an ordinary volunteer soldier, you must endure hardships ahead, charge ahead, and sacrifice ahead." ”
On November 25, 1850, Mao Anying was working at the headquarters station, when suddenly bombers flew, and Mao Anying and three people had escaped.
Then Mao Anying and they went back to rescue the confidential documents, but another plane fell, dropped hundreds of petrol bombs, for a time the base was on fire, four people ran out of two, Mao Anying and one of the secretaries did not come out, so Mao Anying died in the flames, only 28 years old.
Mao Anqing passed away
Mao Anqing is Chairman Mao's second son, who has followed his mother since he was a child, and after his mother's sacrifice, he followed his brother Mao Anying.
After the kindergarten was disbanded, he had to wander with his brother, and was later found by the party organization and went to the Soviet Union with his brother Mao Anying to study.
In the Soviet Union, Mao Anqing's academic performance was as good as his brother's, and even better than Mao Anying in some aspects.
After graduating, he was admitted to Moscow Eastern University with excellent grades for further study.
In 1947, Mao Anqing returned to China after completing his studies, and he did not stay with his father for long, so he went to Heilongjiang to participate in work, but Mao Anqing's health has not been good, and he can begin to devote himself to land reform, living conditions are the same as ordinary people, and the people do not know that he is Chairman Mao's son.
I know that Mao Anqing is a comrade who is very responsible and responsible.
In winter, Mao Anqing braved the weather of more than minus 30 degrees to go to every household to understand the situation and living standards of the villagers.
After that, he also helped the villagers solve many problems, such as Mao Anqing helping the villagers learn to read and write, repairing the villagers' agricultural tools, and running to the city to buy seeds.
In July 1949, Chairman Mao called Mao Anqing back to Beijing and asked him
He worked as a translator in the Marxist-Leninist Works Compilation Office of the Central Propaganda Department. He and his brother Mao Gan, both spoke English and Russian very well, and translated many works during this period.
After hearing that Mao Anying died on the Korean battlefield, he was overly sad, and only came out of his grief a year later, and his body gradually recovered.
He died on March 13, 2007, at the age of 84.
He Zizhen lost children in a row
He Zizhen was Chairman Mao's other wife after Yang Kaihui and the first female party member in Jinggangshan.
He Zizhen had a total of six children, two died early, and three disappeared, what a tragic experience for He Zizhen!
When He Zizhen followed Chairman Mao, their conditions were very difficult.
After that, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen had a conflict, and He Zizhen went to the Soviet Union in a fit of anger.
The third son, the fifth son, and the ninth son died early
The third son, Mao Anlong, was the third son of Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui.
In 1931, Mao Anlong's body began to have diarrhea, and the high fever did not subside, Mao Anying had no choice, could only carry Mao Anlong to the hospital, let the second brother go to the nursery Chen Fengying, but when he arrived at the hospital, due to the urgency of time, he could only hurry to rescue, but Mao Anlong's condition was very serious, and the domestic medical conditions were not very good, and finally died of illness at the age of 4.
In 1930, He Zizhen gave birth to his second child. It's a boy. Although the environment was very bad, He Zizhen gave birth to him, and later died of malnutrition, and Chairman Mao did not see the child.
In 1938, when He Zizhen had gone to the Soviet Union, this was He Zizhen's sixth child, called Liao Wa, the cold weather in the Soviet Union, coupled with Liao Wa's lack of nutrition, finally fell ill and unfortunately died.
The whereabouts of four daughters, six sons, and seven daughters are unknown
The name of the fourth daughter is Mao Jinhua, the first daughter of He Zizhen and Chairman Mao, when the Red Army and the Kuomintang were at war, the conditions were very difficult, He Zizhen could only give her to a local family to adopt, but in the end Mao Jinhua's whereabouts were unknown.
Mao Anhong was He Zizhen's third son, and Chairman Mao specially named his child Mao Anhong, hoping that he could inherit the will of the Red Army.
When the Red Army began the Long March in 1934, Chairman Mao and He Zizhen did not have time to take the child, and coupled with the difficult conditions, they left the child and handed it over to Mao Zeqin's care.
On April 26, 1935, Mao Zeqin was killed by bullets in battle, and the child was delivered by guards to a local family, but his whereabouts were later unknown.
In 1935, He Zizhen gave birth to his fourth child, and due to the pursuit of the Kuomintang, He Zizhen gave him to a family for adoption, and finally the child disappeared.
Eight daughters Li Min, ten daughters Li Ne
Li Min followed Chairman Mao since he was a child, and because of He Zizhen's Soviet Union, Chairman Mao sent Li Min to the Soviet Union to live with his mother.
She was born in 1936 as He Zizhen's fifth child, and then returned to China to live with Chairman Mao, and when she had time, she went to Shanghai to see He Zizhen, and lived an ordinary life all her life.
Li Ne, the daughter of Chairman Mao and Jiang Qing, and the youngest child of Chairman Mao, did not suffer like other older brothers and sisters, she has lived by Chairman Mao's side since she was a child, and lived an ordinary life like her sister Li Min.
Chairman Mao fought tirelessly for the cause of liberation, but he also suffered pain. The pain of losing his son and daughter, coupled with the fact that the Mao family sacrificed six lives for the revolution, was heart-wrenching for Chairman Mao.
