preface
When facing his children, Liu Shaoqi has always been strict.
She has a flexible brain, a strong fighting spirit, and has been trained well, and she will definitely become a good cadre of our party in the future
Who is the mother of Liu Shaoqi's daughter Liu Aiqin? It's not Wang Guangmei, it's He Baozhen. Speaking of which, Chairman Mao is still the matchmaker of Liu Shaoqi and He Baozhen.
Chairman Mao's wife Yang Kaihui is one year older than He Baozhen, the two have both the friendship of teachers and students, and sisterhood, for He Baozhen, Yang Kaihui has always been very caring, and He Baozhen also has great respect for Yang Kaihui, but whenever you encounter problems that you don't understand or encounter difficulties in life, you will go to consult Yang Kaihui.
One afternoon in early October 1922, He Baozhen went to Yang Kaihui again to ask questions. At that time, Chairman Mao was receiving a young man in his 20s.
He Baozhen touched Yang Kaihui's arm and said curiously: "Sister Kaihui, who is the young man who talked to Mr. Runzhi?" ”
Yang Kaihui was nine months pregnant, and she was about to give birth, and after seeing He Baozhen, she introduced: "His name is Liu Shaoqi......
Listening to Yang Kaihui's story about Liu Shaoqi's situation, He Baozhen admired this young man, and she didn't care about the work at hand, so she simply sat down with Yang Kaihui directly, and listened to Liu Shaoqi's introduction to the Anyuan Road miners' strike, just listening to it could feel the thrill.
For Liu Shaoqi's fearlessness, He Baozhen admired. Yang Kaihui saw that her eyes were shining, and said with a smile that he wanted to introduce Comrade Liu Shaoqi to her. After the words fell, Yang Kaihui brought her to Chairman Mao and Liu Shaoqi and introduced them to each other, which was the first meeting between Liu Shaoqi and He Baozhen.
Chairman Mao looked at He Baozhen and lowered her head shyly, and praised her in front of Liu Shaoqi: "She has a flexible brain, strong fighting spirit, and if she trains her well, she will definitely become a good cadre of our party in the future." ”
Listening to He Baozhen and Liu Shaoqi's modest appearance of each other, Chairman Mao pointed at He Baozhen, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "How about it, let Comrade He Baozhen go to Anyuan to assist you in your work?" Liu Shaoqi said with a smile, warm welcome.
In late April 1923, Chairman Mao came to Anyuan to visit Liu Shaoqi and He Baozhen and other comrades who worked here.
When he learned that Liu Shaoqi and He Baozhen were newly married, he was very happy, and then came to their residence to care about their work and life.
Chairman Mao looked at his newlywed revolutionary partner sitting in front of him and felt great relief in his heart.
At the end of March 1933, He Baozhen was unfortunately arrested, but He Baozhen struggled flexibly and did not reveal his identity, however, the following year, because he was betrayed, He Baozhen's identity was exposed, and in the interrogation room, the enemy used all kinds of poison to force He Baozhen to hand over the list of underground parties, and she was unmoved: "I want to confess, no; Damn, there is one. Revolutionaries are inexhaustible. ”
The enemy was annoyed and angry, and one early morning in the late autumn of 1934, He Baozhen bravely died in Yuhuatai, Nanjing, this year, she was only 32 years old.
When stepping on Yuhuatai, He Baozhen's heart could not be calm for a long time, she missed her husband and three children with unknown circumstances, Yun Bin left her parents when she was two years old, because He Baozhen and Liu Shaoqi were fighting in the war, and they had no choice but to foster their infant daughter Liu Aiqin out, but He Baozhen never expected that that time would become the farewell of the two, is Liu Aiqin still alive at this time? He Baozhen didn't know anything, and her most reassuring little son Yun Ruo, the child was missing, it turned out that Yun Ruo was only four years old at the time, when her mother was arrested, in a hurry, she could only hurriedly hand over the woman to an aunt in the neighborhood, and now she doesn't know where he is.
When Liu Aiqin and her biological parents separated, she was still in infancy, and she didn't have much impression of her biological parents, only her adoptive parents in her memory, Liu Aiqin grew up in their parents, and they also loved her like their own children, so that Liu Aiqin always thought that they were her biological parents.
It's just that love can't resist the cruelty of reality after all, the life of the adoptive parents' family is very hard, many times they have eaten the last meal without the next meal, plus the adoptive father is unemployed, and has to go out to do odd jobs, and the last salary is only a handful, in order to maintain the basic life, the adoptive mother also went to find some sewing and mending jobs, however, in that dark era, this money was not enough to feed the family, and in desperation, the adoptive parents could only reluctantly sell Aiqin to others as a child daughter-in-law.
The life of being a child daughter-in-law is not easy, Liu Aiqin usually not only has endless work, but also endless beatings and endless scolding, Liu Aiqin always has old injuries and new injuries added to her body.
In 1938, when Liu Aiqin was tortured, her adoptive mother and a strange man appeared, and Liu Aiqin threw herself into her adoptive mother's arms with tears, and she was out of the devil's cave.
It turned out that the strange man was here to pick up Liu Aiqin to meet her biological father, and he was going to take Liu Aiqin to meet her relatives.
On this trip, Liu Aiqin not only met her father, but also met her brother Liu Yunbin, and the two children were very excited to see each other. After that, the siblings were sent to Moscow by their father.
You are my daughter, and it is your duty to think about the country first
In 1949, Liu Aiqin left the Soviet Union, where he had lived for 10 years, and embarked on a journey back to China.
After Liu Shaoqi and others walked out of the carriage, they shook hands with Premier Zhou, and Aiqin was behind his father, his eyes kept looking around, and he felt that everything was very novel, and Premier Zhou also saw Aiqin behind Liu Shaoqi, and took the initiative to shake hands with her and welcome her back to China.
Liu Aiqin also stepped forward and replied politely: "Uncle Zhou, hello!" ”
Also coming was Wang Guangmei, Liu Shaoqi introduced her to Liu Aiqin,
In this way, Liu Aiqin lived in her father's home in Zhongnanhai, and before Aiqin returned to China, Wang Guangmei cleaned up, so Liu Aiqin's room was neat and clean.
After returning to China, Liu Shaoqi personally arranged a work, study and life plan for his daughter, the first thing to do was to let his daughter change out of the suit and skirt, after he sent his daughter to school, she was an ordinary teacher, and she should pay attention to simplicity in dress.
Liu Aiqin did not argue and directly changed into Lenin's clothes.
Liu Aiqin followed his father to the school, Liu Shaoqi did not say hello to the school and let him treat his daughter well, on the contrary, he asked the school to be strict with his daughter. At the same time, Aegean came to the school with two tasks: the first was to teach Russian, and the second was to learn Chinese.
The principal arranged class time for Liu Aiqin, but in terms of salary. One teacher's suggestion was that it should not be lower than the work of other teachers who taught Russian, that is, Liu Aiqin could get 800 catties of millet per month.
In this regard, Liu Shaoqi's suggestion is that no, just give Aegean enough to eat. Liu Aiqin didn't refute her father on the spot, after returning from school, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, why everyone worked the same, but her father only let half of other people's salaries, finally, Liu Aiqin couldn't help but ask her father the reason.
Liu Shaoqi explained: "You just returned to China...... You are my daughter, and it is your duty to think about the country first. Liu Aiqin finally understood her father's good intentions.
