In that special era, he walked alone and naked. He gave everything he had to the republic, to the people......
The effort he spent on educating his children has also become a legacy for future generations.
The tragedy of Yun Bin and Yun Ruo
Liu Yunbin and Liu Yunruo are the eldest and second sons of Comrade Shaoqi. Both brothers are elite talents in the defense industry and have contributed to the mainland's atomic energy industry and space industry. However, who would have thought that their growth has gone through many hardships and twists and turns, and at the same time, they are soaked in Shaoqi's care!
Liu Shaoqi
Their mother, martyr He Baozhen, was arrested by Kuomintang agents in Shanghai in 1933 before she could leave traces of memory in the brothers' minds, and died heroically in Yuhuatai in Nanjing in 1934. Their father traveled all year round for the revolution and could not take care of them. Yun Bin was sent to his hometown in Hunan to be fostered, and as soon as he was sensible, he herded cattle and worked, working like a small long worker, and did not return to Comrade Shaoqi in Yan'an until 1938. When Yunruo was 4 years old, the moment her mother was arrested, she hurriedly handed it over to the neighbor's aunt. Later, Yunruo was sent to a poor peasant family as an adopted son, and at the age of twelve or thirteen he went to Shanghai as an apprentice, often selling newspapers and picking rags for a living, and was only found by the underground party organization in the countryside of northern Jiangsu in 1946 and sent back to Liu Shaoqi.
The brothers returned to their father one after another, and Liu Shaoqi sent them to school. He told the child: "Why did I send you out at that time? We can't stay there for a long time, revolutionary, here today, tomorrow there, it's inconvenient to take your children, so I'll foster you with others." ”
Liu Shaoqi
In the summer of 1939, Liu Shaoqi asked Yunbin to follow Zhou Enlai's plane to the Soviet Union to go to school, and in February 1945, Liu Yunbin was admitted to the Moscow Iron and Steel Institute. At the same time, he also honorably joined the party, becoming one of the first Chinese students from Yan'an to study in the Soviet Union. Soon after, Liu Yunbin transferred to the Department of Chemistry of Moscow University, a first-class university in the Soviet Union.
After graduating from university, he was successfully admitted to graduate school. When he graduated from graduate school, Yun Bin became the only one among the students who studied in the Soviet Union to obtain an associate doctorate. In 1957, Yun Bin returned to China to engage in cutting-edge scientific research on national defense. Participated in the development of the mainland's first atomic bomb.
But just when Yun Bin was about to show his skills for the construction of the motherland, a storm swept across the country, and Yun Bin was falsely accused of being a typical "white dictator" and a "spy...... He was brutally criticized. In December 1967, on a cold and howling night, Yun Bin collapsed forever on the railroad tracks on the outskirts of Baotou, and the cold and merciless wheels took his life at the age of 42.

Yun Ruo is a talented and intelligent child, usually loves literature and journalism, in 1954, the beginning of large-scale economic construction urgently needs talents, the country has sent a group of students to the Soviet Union and other countries, Yun Ruo is one of them. According to the needs of national construction, Yunruo was assigned to study aircraft radio instrumentation at the Moscow Aviation Institute. After a while, Yun Ruo felt that this major was really different from his hobbies, and his enthusiasm for learning couldn't help but be greatly reduced, and he didn't have a good relationship with the classmates around him, so he proposed to the organization to change departments and schools. He wrote three letters to his father in succession, repeatedly stating his reasons and asking for a change of department.
Liu Shaoqi did not use his power to intervene in this matter in private, but wrote three long letters to Yunruo, starting from the principle of the needs of the motherland, helping Yunruo analyze the problem, educating him to treat his personal interests correctly, work hard to learn a professional skill, and come back to serve the construction of the motherland.
With the help of her father's education, Yunruo gradually improved her understanding of the major she studied, and she insisted on studying in the aircraft instrument major with peace of mind. In the summer of 1960, Yunruo returned to China with excellent grades and went to the Fifth Academy of the Ministry of National Defense (the predecessor of the Seventh Machinery Department) to engage in scientific research. He has contributed to the aerospace industry of the motherland at work.

In the midst of that storm, he suffered from many diseases because of persecution. By 1974, Yunruo's condition was already very serious, and his siblings were so anxious that they ran around to complain and demand that Yunruo be released for treatment. At the end of 1974, with the intervention of Premier Zhou Enlai, Yun Ruocai was released. However, due to his serious illness and lack of good treatment, he died two years after being released from prison.
Aegean remembered his father's teachings
Liu Shaoqi's eldest daughter, Liu Aiqin, also suffered infinite hardships and tribulations in that special era. Fortunately, she saw the coming of light and waited for the rehabilitation of herself and her father. In her later years, Liu Aiqin was a professor of Russian and worked hard to cultivate talents.
She vividly remembers the first time she met her father. As early as 1927, Liu Shaoqi fostered the newborn Aegean in a worker's home in Wuhan. At the age of seven or eight, she was sold to a family as a child bride and suffered a lot of human suffering. In April 1938, Zhou Enlai sent someone to find Aegean in Wuhan and sent her to Comrade Shaoqi. The scene of the father and daughter meeting in the Yan'an cave moved everyone present. The daughter cried loudly with years of grievances, and the father hugged his daughter and muttered: "Too thin, too thin......"

After picking up his daughter, the first thing her father did for her was to teach her to read and write and send her to school. Her father took out a pen and wrote a traditional character on a piece of paper and asked her, "Do you know this character?" Eleven-year-old Aegean had never studied, but she remembered that there were many slogans on the walls of Yan'an, one of which was called "Down with Japanese imperialism." She felt that this word was the same as the word "pour" in the slogan, so she said: "It's 'poured'." ”
The father smiled: "Oh, you still know the word 'pour'." ”
In the blink of an eye, Aegean went to school. She first went to Yan'an Nursery School, and the next year she went to the Soviet Union with her brother to study at the International Children's Institute. In July 1949, Aegean graduated from the Moscow Technical School of Communications. At this time, Liu Shaoqi went to visit the Soviet Union and brought his daughter back. In 1958, under the education of his father, Aegean took the initiative to support the frontier and was sent to work in Inner Mongolia, where he worked for more than 20 years......
Liu Aiqin
Talking about her father's education and cultivation of him, she said emotionally: "Many people think that we are the children of the president of the country, and we must be taken care of everywhere and enjoy happiness. As everyone knows, my father has always been strict with us, sometimes even so strict that we can't accept it, and we are not allowed to do anything special. In the 20s, my father gave me to others because he was busy with the revolution, and I became a child daughter-in-law and endured hardships; in the 30s, he sent me abroad and experienced war and hunger; in the 40s, my father brought me back to China and made me cry because of my poor study; in the 50s, he sent me to the grassland to let me experience the hardships of the people's life...... Now that I think about it, it is probably because of my father's strict requirements for decades that I have withstood ten years of hardships and can still contribute to the construction of the motherland today......"
