Qingshan buried loyal bones everywhere, why should Ma Ge wrap the body back. Today, our peaceful and prosperous world is bought by countless loyal people with sacrifices.
On November 25, 1950, at the age of 28, Mao Anying unfortunately died on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. When the news reached China, the whole country mourned, and Chairman Mao, as the father, choked up several times, and it was difficult to express his sorrow.
Although the chairman said, "Revolution, there will always be sacrifices." "I can't allow Kishi Toei to go to war and serve the country just because he's my son." But the moment he learned of his son's sacrifice, how could the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man so easily felt?
After enduring the grief and discussing the handling of Mao Anying's future affairs, Chairman Mao finally decided to put the overall situation first and buried his son and other sacrificial volunteer heroes in Korea on the spot.
However, later, when the inscription was finished, Chairman Mao regrettably said that there were three words missing from the inscription, that is, the name of Mao Anying's mother, "Yang Kaihui". Premier Zhou suggested re-engraving it, but Chairman Mao only said lightly: "Forget it!" ”
Why, then, did Chairman Mao feel a little sorry that he did not engrave the name of Mao Anying's mother? But when Premier Zhou suggested a supplementary engraving, he refused? This has to start from the tragic experience of Mao Anying and his mother Yang Kaihui!

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > full of enthusiasm, but unfortunately buried in a foreign land</h1>
In 1950, UN forces landed at Inchon under the leadership of MacArthur, and for a time the Korean army collapsed. At one time, the United Nations army, which was overwhelming, marched northward, and there was a great tendency to drink the Yalu River and endanger China's northeast border.
Chairman Mao was keenly aware of the wolf ambitions of the UN army, so he ordered President Peng Lao to lead a volunteer army across the Yalu River to support North Korea. This officially opened the prelude to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
At this time, although Mao Anying worked in the Beijing Machinery General Factory, his enthusiasm for defending his family and defending the country was always high. After learning that China had decided to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he took the initiative to find his father Chairman Mao and ask for his life, and wanted to go far to Korea to fight.
Chairman Mao gladly agreed to his son's request.
On the eve of entering the DPRK, Chairman Mao invited Mr. Peng to his home for a meal. As soon as Mr. Peng entered the door, he found that in addition to the chairman, Mao Anying was also there. So, the three Hunan people ate Hunan dishes and chatted about the sky.
Suddenly, Mao Anying said to Peng Dehuai, "Uncle Peng, I want to join the volunteer army." General Manager Peng paused for a moment, looked at the chairman, and Chairman Mao smiled and said, "I have no right to decide this, you are the commander, see if you want to take this soldier." ”
As soon as these words came out, Peng Dehuai already realized that Mao Anying's idea of joining the army was probably approved by the chairman. But he knew that fighting a war was not a child's play, and that there could be danger at any time, and that this was Chairman Mao's son, and in case something happened, he would not be able to answer to the chairman.
So Peng Dehuai said to the chairman: "Chairman, I am a commander appointed by you, how can you care if you want soldiers?" ”
Chairman Mao actually did not oppose it in his heart, and he also wanted his son to go to the battlefield to go through training and establish a new atmosphere in the party. So he said: "Just take him, Kishi English and English, you can go to North Korea and deal with the Soviets and Americans, he can also help a little." ”
Seeing that Chairman Mao had agreed, It was not good for President Peng to refuse again, but as for Mao Anying's identity, Chairman Mao demanded that he do a good job of secrecy, so he let him participate in the war as an ordinary soldier.
As a result, the matter of Mao Anying's entry into the DPRK was also settled. However, no one expected that this would be the last time the chairman and his son would talk about wine.
In October 1950, Mao Anying went to the Korean battlefield as Mr. Peng's secretary and translator, because his identity was kept secret, and few people in the volunteer army knew the identity of this tall young man who often followed Mr. Peng.
Although Mao Anying was heroic and extraordinary after entering the DPRK, he was still in danger at all times in the face of the frenzied attacks of the United Nations army.
On November 25, 1950, Mao Anying was processing documents at the headquarters of the Dayudong Volunteer Army when the alarm suddenly sounded and 4 enemy planes came straight to the direction of the Great Yudong. According to Mr. Peng's military secretary, "Dozens of petrol bombs were thrown off the plane, and in an instant the house became a sea of fire." ”
In this way, with a violent explosion, Mao Anying, who was too late to evacuate, and Gao Ruixin, who was together at the time, were killed on the spot.
After Mr. Peng saw Mao Anying's body, he stayed where he was, and after a long silence, he became sad.
At this time, Mr. Peng's heart is undoubtedly extremely complicated, he can't recall the situation of drinking with the chairman and Mao Anying before leaving, but now Mao Anying has died unexpectedly, and his inner grief and guilt for the chairman are overflowing with words.
How do I inform the Chairman? After all, this is the chairman's favorite son, but now he has died on the battlefield, can the chairman bear it? Mr. Peng did not think about the tea and dinner, did not say a word, held the pen to the paper on the desk in a daze, and could not write for a long time.
But that's it, there's no other way but to face it. As a result, it took more than an hour to repeat and repeat, and Mr. Peng finally finished writing the short secret report of about 100 words with a thousand pounds of pen in his hand.
After the telegram reached Premier Zhou's hand, the premier was shocked at first when he saw the contents, and then immediately fell into contemplation. At this time, Chairman Mao was not in good health, and he was still supervising the second campaign of Korea, so in order not to strike at the chairman at this moment, Premier Zhou temporarily suppressed the telegram after consulting with other leaders.
After the chairman's health improved, Ye Zilong and others passed the telegram and his own letter to Chairman Mao.
According to the recollections of the guards present at the time, when Chairman Mao got the telegram, he looked at it and the whole person was stunned and did not say a word. The brief telegram was read for a few minutes, then he took the cigarette and threw it aside. After a while, he turned back to pick up the cigarette, and one hand panicked to find the matchbox.
Looking closely, Chairman Mao's eyes were already wet at this moment, but he did not cry, but his face was extremely ugly.
Seeing this situation, the people around them all bowed their heads, not knowing how to be good, and the air seemed to freeze. After a long time, Chairman Mao let out a sigh, and then said slowly as if he had exhausted all his strength: "Who called him Mao Zedong's son?" Well, there will always be sacrifices in war. After hearing this, everyone could no longer hold back tears.
You know, these soothing words are full of the sorrow and helplessness of a father. Even if Chairman Mao is a giant of the East, his heart is also made of meat, and in the face of his son's sacrifice, the grief is self-evident.
However, at this moment, as the leader of the country, even if his heart is painful, he has not shown it. After all, the country needed him, and he couldn't fall.
During that period, Premier Zhou often came to accompany Chairman Mao, and the chairman's grief eased slightly. Therefore, when we saw that Chairman Mao's mood was gradually stabilizing, the matter of how to deal with Mao Anying's aftermath was also brought up and discussed.
However, at that time, during the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, President Peng put forward the proposition that "China was born, North Korea died, and North Korea was buried", so under the circumstances at that time, almost all the soldiers who died were buried on the spot, and then a wooden plaque was set up to record it for later reference.
However, Mao Anying had a special status after all, and he was also a regiment-level cadre at that time, so he also needed to be transported back to China for burial. However, after some deliberations, Chairman Mao decided to bury his son's body on the spot, just like the other soldiers who died.
As Chairman Mao said: Kishi Ying is my Son of Mao Zedong, but he is also a volunteer soldier.
His sacrifice was honorable and admirable.
According to Meng Lao, former chief of the Combat Section of the Volunteer Army and director of the Research Office for the History of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, after the decision was made to bury Mao Anying on the spot, 134 martyrs along with Mao Anying were transferred to the Chinese Volunteer Army Martyrs' Cemetery in North Korea.
Xiang Chaoshan, the squad leader in charge of transferring Mao Anying's remains to the new coffin, recalled: When they heard the news that Chairman Mao had decided to bury Mao Anying in Korea, the soldiers showed a surprised expression. No one expected Chairman Mao to make such a decision.
In this way, Mao Anying was buried on the territory of Korea...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the inscription is three words missing</h1>
The inscription of Mao Anying was personally inscribed by Premier Zhou when he found the literary scholar Guo Moruo. The front of the tombstone is engraved with seven large characters "Tomb of Comrade Mao Anying." ”
On the back of the tombstone is an inscription written by the People's Volunteers General Association of the People's Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, introducing comrade Mao Anying's life experience.
Roughly speaking: Comrade Mao Anying, a native of Shaoshan Chong in Xiangtan, Hunan, and the eldest son of Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese people. In 1950, he requested to join the Volunteer Army, and on November 25, 1950, he died heroically in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Comrade Mao Anying's patriotic and internationalist spirit will forever educate and inspire the younger generation. Comrade Mao Anying is immortal!
Chinese the General Association of the People's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in April 1955.
After all the inscriptions had been engraved, Premier Zhou read this inscription to Chairman Mao, who listened with sadness and loneliness. Premier Zhou also choked up at one point, but after reading it, Chairman Mao was silent again.
Yes, his Shore Ying is so young and prosperous, but he is forever fixed at the age of 28.
Thinking like this, Mao Zedong was again a wave of grief. After a few moments, Chairman Mao said: The inscription is very well written, and it is a pity that he could not engrave the name of his mother Kaihui, and the relationship between Shore Ying and his mother is deeper.
In fact, Mao Anying was the eldest son of Chairman Mao and his first wife, Yang Kaihui. Chairman Mao said that the feelings between mother and son were deeper, and indeed that was true.
On October 24, 1922, Mao Anying was born in Changsha. Almost all childhood time was spent in the company of his mother Yang Kaihui.
As Mao Zedong's original revolutionary partner, Yang Kaihui not only unswervingly supported Chairman Mao's revolutionary cause, but also took care of his children alone, so that Mao Zedong had no worries. After the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising of 1927, Chairman Mao moved to JinggangShan. Yang Kaihui continued to take his children and participated in armed struggles in Changsha, Pingjiang and other places.
Three years later, the Hunan warlord He Jian, after unsuccessfully pursuing Chairman Mao, vented his hatred for Zhu and Mao's Red Army on Chairman Mao's wife, Yang Kaihui. In order to catch Yang Kaihui, He Jian offered a reward of 1,000 silver dollars.
After learning this news, relatives and friends at that time came to persuade Yang Kaihui to avoid the limelight, but They were all rejected by Yang Kaihui. As Chairman Mao's wife, she should rush to the front line of the revolution. However, the only thing I was worried about was my elderly mother and a few children.
She once wrote in an unsent letter: I seem to have seen the arrival of death, and I am not afraid of death myself, but for my mother and children, a little pitiful to them, I have decided to entrust the child to you. However, before this "orphan letter" could be sent, there was an accident.
On Mao Anying's 8th birthday, Yang Kaihui quietly returned to her hometown of Bancang to visit her mother and children. Unexpectedly, because of the exposure of his whereabouts, he and Mao Anying, who was only 8 years old, were captured by the warlords.
However, in the face of the fierce and vicious reactionaries, Yang Kaihui did not show a trace of fear, but instead looked fearless and generous and righteous. But seeing her son Mao Anying, who was also taken away, her heart felt despair and pain that she had never felt before.
But after all, Mao Anying was a heroic martyr, and under the advice of his mother, he resisted the threats and intimidation of the enemy at a young age, and did not disclose any information.
In prison, Yang Kaihui suffered severe torture from the enemy to extract a confession, but she never gave in. The enemy saw that more than ten days of torture had not worked, so he threatened and seduced him, saying that he could regain his freedom as long as he broke off relations with Chairman Mao.
But Yang Kaihui said with great righteousness: "I want to disassociate myself from Mao Zedong, unless the sea is dry and rotten." I have no regrets about dying, but I hope that the revolution will succeed at an early date. When the enemy saw that she could not find any useful information from her mouth, he decided to put it to death.
When Yang Kaihui was dragged to the execution ground, Mao Anying pulled his mother to cry and would not let her go, but the murderous enemy pulled him away. In desperation, Mao Anying was crying there, watching Yang Kaihui resolutely choose to be heroic and righteous.
Yang Kaihui's death undoubtedly had a great impact on Mao Anying's heart. When his mother was killed by the reactionaries, Mao Anying was only an 8-year-old child, and the reactionaries did not want to reveal the truth after they could not see useful information, so they released him.
After that, Mao Anying was sent by his grandmother to his uncle Mao Zemin in Shanghai. Soon after, however, the Shanghai Party organization was destroyed, and Mao Anying and his younger brother Mao Anqing were forced to evacuate, and the brothers have lived a wandering life ever since.
Mao Anying, who is more than 9 years old, and his younger brother Mao Anying have worked in bakeries, picked up garbage, sold newspapers, and lived an extremely dark and miserable life.
A few years later, Mao An was found by the organization and sent to the Soviet Union to study in 1936. In 1946, he returned to Yan'an and met his father, Chairman Mao, who had been separated for more than ten years.
In fact, Chairman Mao has always felt guilty about Yang Kaihui's death. After first hearing the news of his lover's sacrifice, he once said with great sorrow: "Kaihui's death is irreparable." ”
Chairman Mao was even more guilty of the hardships that his son Mao Anying experienced after losing his mother. But it can be imagined that Mao Anying died on the battlefield at the age of 28, and it is conceivable that the pain in Chairman Mao's heart is even more mixed with guilt and love for his wife and children.
Thinking of this, when Chairman Mao saw that the inscription did not have Yang Kaihui's name engraved on it, he would still feel a little regretful, which is also the common sentiment of people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > he was Mao's son</h1>
Therefore, Premier Zhou, who is well aware of Chairman Mao's deep affection for his wife, said after listening: "Do you want to add the name of Kishi Ying's mother?" Chairman Mao shook his hand and said, "Forget it, you don't have to make such trouble." Using marble as a tombstone is already special. ”
Although there are regrets, Chairman Mao does not want to add additional trouble because of this, which is also Chairman Mao's consistent style.
When Mao Anying returned to China, although Chairman Mao felt guilty about this son, he did not spoil him because of it. Therefore, Mao Anying, who had just eaten at home for two days, was driven to eat a big stove meal with everyone.
Chairman Mao once said to Mao Anying: "You are accustomed to living in a foreign school in the Soviet Union, and now that you are back in China, you will follow the customs of the countryside." The academies that live in China are the Agricultural University and the Labor University. ”
So Mao Anying returned to the masses, picked up a hoe, and learned to open up the land and cultivate the land. His blood-stained hands were his certificate of completion from the Labor University.
After training at the grassroots level, Mao Anying has changed a lot in his thinking and body. More and more of the country's spiritual integrity, without the slightest squeamishness. Just as Chairman Mao once said, come from the people and go to the people.
There were many people who did not understand why Chairman Mao would have agreed to Mao Anying's departure to North Korea in the first place. If he hadn't been allowed to go, nothing would have happened.
Later, Zhou Shizhao also asked Chairman Mao in this way, and Chairman Mao said: "If I had not agreed to his going, I would certainly not have sacrificed, but the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a war to defend the family and defend the country, and thousands of people's sons and daughters rushed to the battlefield. ”
Yes, as the leader of the country, Chairman Mao has indeed achieved selflessness, and he has devoted himself to the people and to this country, but he is slightly harsh on his son Mao Anying. He always led by example and took the lead.
But it is precisely because of this that our country has turned from a crisis to a safe place, built up on the ruins, and headed towards the road of China's rejuvenation.
In 1958, Premier Zhou came to Korea with Chairman Mao's wish to visit Korea, to the Cemetery of the Volunteer Martyrs, and to the tomb of Mao Anying. "Comrade Mao Anying is immortal!" It is impressively presented on the inscription.
Premier Zhou was also impressed: Kishi Ying, I am proud of you. Your father is even more proud of you.
No country has a home. Chairman Mao, as a leader, resolutely placed his small family behind a big country, and it was precisely because of this selfless and fearless spirit of thousands and millions that our country stood up, walked out of the country, and shocked the world.
epilogue:
After Chairman Mao's death in 1976, when the staff was sorting out Chairman Mao's relics, they saw several pieces of Mao Anying's clothes that he had treasured for 26 years. At this point, we find that a father's love for his son is so deep but so introverted.
