In the spring of 1937, He Zizhen and Mao Zedong were in Yan'an
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="7" > preface</h1>
He Zizhen gave birth to six children in his lifetime, because these children were born in turbulent times, so in the end only Li Min survived, and the other children either died or disappeared, so it can be said that the fate of He Zizhen's life is very bumpy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="9" > He Zizhen was admitted to the Gospel Hospital</h1>
In October 1932, Mao Zedong was forced to leave the front line and return to Ruijin. At this time, He Zizhen and Mao Zedong had been separated for more than half a year, so Mao Zedong missed his wife very much.
Therefore, he rushed to He Zizhen's residence without stopping, but he did not expect that after coming to the door, He Zizhen's residence was already empty. During the long war, Mao Zedong and He Zizhen were separated from each other, and neither had any news of the other.
Seeing that Mao Zedong had come to look for his wife, a well-meaning person next to him told him the whereabouts of He Zizhen. It turned out that a year ago, after the abolition of the General Front Committee, Su District had not assigned He Zizhen a job, so it was very boring for her to stay at home all the time, and now she was close to giving birth, so she was admitted to the Gospel Hospital in Tingzhou.

After learning about He Zizhen, Mao Zedong decided to go to the Gospel Hospital, where he could not only treat his own illness, but also take care of his wife.
Before leaving, Chairman Mao very carefully instructed Committee member Chiang Kai-shek to bring He Zizhen's winter winter clothes with him. The most important thing to pay attention to when giving birth to a child is to keep warm, so it seems that Mao Zedong's pity for He Zizhen.
After arriving at the Gospel Hospital, Mao Zedong was admitted to the hospital's cadre recuperation center. After inquiring about He Zizhen's hospital room, he immediately went to visit her.
During that time, Mao Zedong would stay at He Zizhen's bedside every day to take care of her, and sometimes He Zizhen would walk back and forth to see Mao Zedong.
After seeing He Zizhen, Mao Zedong calmed down and paid attention to his physical condition. The dean Fu Lianhui personally checked Mao Zedong's body, and there was no major problem, but there was also a little problem at that time, and the cold caused an upper respiratory tract infection, the main reason was also because of bad mood and malnutrition.

However, after coming here, Mao Zedong met He Zizhen, and a big stone in his heart finally relaxed, and with the dean's careful treatment and the company of some friends, Mao Zedong's condition quickly improved
During the time at the Gospel Hospital, when He Zizhen and Mao Zedong were together rarely, and when the two of them were at their most stable, Fu Lianhui would always invite Mao Zedong to his home, and Mao Zedong, who loved his wife, would always ask He Zizhen to accompany him.
In April 1934, He Zizhen finally gave birth at the Gospel Hospital, and on that day Fu Lianhui cheerfully went to inform Mao Zedong, and as soon as he entered the door, he first said, "Chairman, congratulations!" congratulations! Mao Zedong was very confused, where did this joy come from? Fu Lianhui took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Congratulations on getting a big fat boy!" ”
It turned out that Fu Lianhui had personally delivered he Zizhen's birth, and after the operation, he rushed to report the good news to Mao Zedong. When Mao Zedong heard the news, as soon as he heard that he had a son, he rushed to see his son.
He Zizhen
After arriving at the delivery room, Mao Zedong asked He Zizhen about his situation, and He Zizhen said that he felt fine. After that, he went to see the child lying next to He Zizhen, touched the child's small arms and legs, and he smiled: "I have another boy!" ”
During the confinement period after He Zizhen gave birth, life was very happy. Mao Zedong took good care of him and asked the guards to use their allowances to buy meat for He Zizhen to supplement his body. The dean's wife is also helping to take care of He Zizhen, and even personally buys supplements for He Zizhen, and sews clothes and diapers for the children.
For the care of the people around her and the care of her husband, He Zizhen feels very happy. After giving birth, He Zizhen also suffered from dysentery, but in order to prevent infection, Fu Lianhui's child changed doors and found a nursing mother for her to feed the child.
And this nurse also likes this child very much, and often calls the child a little hairy. In this way, everyone began to call him MaoMao, so Maomao became the child's nickname.
For this child, the middle-aged Mao Zedong liked the child very much. He Zizhen also said to Him Zizhen: "I am Lao Mao, he is a kitten, called 'Little Mao Mao', one more mao word than me, and he will definitely surpass me in the future." ”
He Zizhen and his comrades-in-arms were at Jinggangshan
However, no one could have imagined that the fate of the much-loved Mao Mao had changed drastically.
Mao Zedong named him Mao Anhong, but everyone still liked to call him Mao Mao.
After He Zizhen left the moon, Mao Zedong would often take her to see the sunrise and sunset, and enjoying the surrounding scenery made her distracted. During this three-month period, the lives of the two people were very sweet, and if Mao Zedong had not returned to Ruijin later, they might have lived happily ever since.
But Mao Zedong shouldered a heavy responsibility, his enthusiasm and ambition had not yet been realized, the Chinese revolution had not yet succeeded, and thinking of this, how could Mao Zedong, who had the world in mind, be willing to give up.
So in January 1933, after Bogu arrived in Ruijin, he wrote a letter to Mao Zedong asking him to return to Ruijin, and Mao Zedong came to Ruijin from leaving Tingzhou.
In the autumn of 1934, just before the Red Army's Long March, after discussion, Mao Zedong and He Zizhen decided to entrust Mao Mao to Liu Zhifu to raise, and later He Zizhen's sister He Yi took Mao Mao away.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="15" > find Mao Anhong after several twists and turns</h1>
In fact, after He Yi and Mao Zeqin took Mao Mao away, they were originally quite well taken care of, but soon after Mao Zedong left the army, the Central Soviet Region was surrounded and suppressed by the Kuomintang, and Mao Zeqin and his wife also had to follow the troops to move.
The process of transfer is also very dangerous, in consideration of the safety of the child, so they handed Over Mao Mao to a guard to raise in Ruijin's rural home, and when the situation was stable, they would pick him up.
Mao Zeqin
After careful consideration, Mao Zeqin was worried that too many people knew that this news would be detrimental to Mao Mao, so he did not mention it to everyone, even He Yi did not know where Mao Mao was. Therefore, only Mao Zeqin knew Mao Mao's whereabouts.
However, in April 1935, Mao Zeqin encountered an accident and died heroically in order to cover the retreat of his comrades when he participated in guerrilla warfare, and in this way, Mao Mao's whereabouts were also unknown.
In 1949, after years of arduous struggle, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, all parts of China were liberated one after another, the Chinese revolution was finally victorious, New China was formally established, and the whole of China began to enter a new period.
In the late autumn of 1948, He Zizhen returned from the Soviet Union, and finally reunited with his sister He Yi, who had been separated for thirteen years, and the sisters cried when they met, and in the later chat process, the most talked about was Mao Mao, who remained in Ruijin, always thinking about looking for him.
He Zizhen and his sister He Yi
Later, in the process of searching, He Yi found some clues based on the memory of that time, however, He Yi not only did not find it, but also unfortunately died in a car accident, so the search for Mao Mao was once again shelved.
Until 1953, He Zizhen, who had settled alone in Shanghai, could no longer get rid of his longing for his son, so he wrote a letter to Shao Shiping, who was then the governor of Jiangxi Province, hoping that he could help him find the child lost in the Long March.
Soon, under the efforts of Shao Shiping, Mao Anhong finally had a little news. After inquiring around, they finally found a couple named Zhu Shengti and Huang Yueying.
After the cadre Wang Jiazhen asked the couple, the couple nodded their heads almost at the same time and replied that they had adopted a Red Army child named Zhu Daolai. But now the child has been led to Nanjing.
It turned out that just two months before Wang Jiazhen came to Ruijin, a woman named Zhu Yueqian from Nanjing came to the house with a letter of introduction, saying that this was her son, and that this person's husband was an inspector of the Central Soviet District.
At that time, Zhu Yueqian insisted that this child was her son, crying and making trouble at home, after some consideration, the couple decided to let the child follow their own mother, and in this way, the child left Ruijin.
Zhu Daolai
After hearing the couple's words, Wang Jiazhen continued to ask them if they had any pictures of the children, so Huang Yueying brought the photos that she had just sent from Nanjing.
After receiving the photo, Wang Jiazhen could not control his excitement for a moment, and this child was a young Mao Zedong in terms of eyebrows and facial features.
Recently, Zhu Daolai also wrote a letter to the old couple, saying that he was not happy after coming here, and that the family did not like me very much and was not good for him, so he decided to return here in a few days.
Seeing these two letters, Wang Jiazhen was very puzzled, this mother from Nanjing was eager to find her son, why did she treat her child like this after finding it? Could it be that she found out that this child was not her own flesh and blood, so she did this to him?
Wang Jiazhen thought of this and thought of a question. When this mother in Nanjing was looking for a child, did she take anything with her child? The old woman replied that no, she didn't want anything, and she didn't want the little coat when she was sent.

Then, the old woman took out the little jacket, and Wang Jiazhen took it and looked very well preserved in her hand, and it was made of old military uniforms. However, why didn't this Nanjing mother, such an important piece of evidence, not?
Therefore, Wang Jiazhen decided to return to the province to report to The Governor of Shao Shiping, and soon, the superiors informed that Wang Jiazhen and Huang Yueying would go to Nanjing to take Zhu Daolai to He Zizhen to identify him.
One day in mid-June 1953, He Minxue sent someone to greet Wang Jiazhen, Zhu Daolai, Huang Yueying and others at the Shanghai Railway Station.
Subsequently, Zhu Daolai came to He Zizhen's face, and after careful examination, He Zizhen suddenly couldn't cry, and his voice began to tremble, saying: "This is my hair." It's hairy. ”
In his later years, He Zizhen
At that time, He Zizhen's sanity was still very clear, so he also shook hands with Huang Yueying and thanked Wang Jiazhen and the two of them. Subsequently, Wang Jiazhen took out the small shirt that the child had worn on his body, and after He Zizhen took it, tears rolled in.
This little jacket was sewn for the child twenty years ago under an oil lamp. What she did not expect was that this little jacket could still be well preserved to this day.
That night, He Zizhen invited Huang Yueying to sleep with her in the same bed, and the two of them talked about the things they remembered in the bed, and their eyes were wet many times.
For the matter of confirming identity, He Minxue has always been very cautious, he took Mao Mao to a hospital in the army for testing, and it turned out that Mao Mao's blood type was the same as He Zizhen, and after He Zizhen learned about it, he was more certain that this child must be her Hair.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="27" > Mao Zedong terminated the confirmation of identity</h1>
Finding Mao Zedong's son was a major event, and when the Beijing side learned of it, He Zizhen received a message from the East China Bureau to the comrades of the Central Organization Department asking Zhu Daolai, Huang Yueying, and Wang Jiazhen to go to Beijing together.

He Zizhen then sent the three to the Shanghai railway station, and the next afternoon, they arrived in Beijing. The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee gave them a special reception, and that evening, the leaders of the CPC Organization came to talk to Zhu Dao and asked him a few questions. He also told him not to tell anyone where he came from, let alone what he had come for.
In the following days, Li Min would often come to see Zhu Daolai, and when they met, he would affectionately call his brother, and he seemed to like Zhu Daolai. Every week since then, Li Min has visited them and taken Zhu Daolai and Huang Yueying to visit Beijing's places of interest.
After Zhu Daolai came to Beijing, some central leaders also came to visit them, including Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Dong Biwu, Deng Yingchao, and Kang Keqing. After seeing it, they unanimously agreed that this child really looked very similar to Chairman Mao, and it seemed that this was the Mao Mao of that year.

After Huang Yueying and Wang Jiazhen lived in Beijing for more than twenty days, they felt that something was wrong, and Zhu Daolai's children already had a number in their minds, so they decided to return to Ruijin.
After thanking the kind rural woman, the party and the government gave her five hundred yuan and some daily necessities, and then sent her to the train.
Before leaving, Zhu Daolai also sent off at the station, he tightly held his mother's hand, choked and said, "You are my mother-in-law." I will always remember you and your father and brother! I'll definitely go back to see you too..."
Huang Yueying nodded unceasingly, secretly remembering the child's words in his heart, and Wang Jiazhen on the side was touched by such deep feelings, until the conductor urged him, he helped Huang Yueying to sit on the train.
However, no one expected that at this time, there was a woman who was in trouble. This daughter is Zhu Yueqian, the nanjing mother who picked up the child, and when she learned the details of the Beijing side, she immediately rushed to the guest house and insisted that Zhu Daolai was her own child, and if someone wanted to rob her child, she would have to seek short-sightedness.
At that time, everyone thought that there would be a happy ending, but this Zhu Yueqian, who appeared halfway, made the whole thing complicated.

Later, after Zhou Enlai reported the matter to Chairman Mao, he hoped that he would be able to make a decision. Chairman Mao, considering that he could not harm this mother in Nanjing, who suddenly appeared, made a decision: "Don't talk about this matter!" Whoever he is a child, he is a descendant of the revolution, give him to the people, to the organization. ”
Chairman Mao made up his mind, so Mao Mao's identity confirmation could not be carried out in the end, but fortunately, Zhu Yueqian could not take Zhu Daolai, he needed to be managed by the organization, and temporarily taken care of by Shuai Mengqi.
He Zizhen and Mao Zedong
For He Zizhen, it is very sad that she cannot officially recognize her child, but fortunately, Zhu Daolai stayed in Beijing later, and this solution also gave He Zizhen a lot of comfort, and also gave her love for her son a place of sustenance.
Later, under the arrangement of the party organization, Zhu Daolai entered the attached middle school of Tsinghua University in 1953, and was admitted to Tsinghua University in 1957, and after graduation, he was assigned to a national defense scientific research unit to engage in scientific research work.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="33" > the mystery of Zhu Daolai</h1>
In the 1980s, a cadre engaged in party history information knew about He Yi's death in search of Mao Mao and a cadre in Jiangxi who was looking for his son for He Zizhen. But what puzzled him the most was that there were still many mysteries in this matter.
Was there a matter of Wang Jiazhen being ordered to find Mao Mao, was there such a person as Zhu Daolai, and what was Zhu Daolai's subsequent situation?
These few questions were always hovering in his mind. So in January 2011, the cadre began to inquire about Wang Jiazhen's whereabouts and also had contact with his daughter Wang Weihong. In the end, it was determined that there was Wang Jiazhen, who was 83 years old at the time and lived in Fuzhou City.
However, due to being bedridden and having difficulty talking to people, after listening to some inquiries, the old man was able to clearly tell some of the plots of finding Zhu Daolai in Ruijin at that time.
Jiangxi Ruijin
In March 2011, he set off for Ruijin again to inquire about the Huang Yueying family, and finally met their grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and learned during the conversation that Zhu Shengtai, the adoptive father who had originally adopted Zhu Daolai, died of illness in 1973 and Huang Yueying died in 1980.
Subsequently, he asked the neighbor next to him for inquiries, met the 75-year-old Zhu Rongfa, and learned in the conversation that Zhu Daolai and they were indeed neighbors, and had played together for more than ten years every day, and he was three years younger than Zhu Daolai.
However, at that time, he did not know that Zhu Daolai was a descendant of the Red Army, and it was not until 1953 that a female comrade picked him up and did not know that he was not Huang Yueying's child.
Recalling what Zhu Daolai looked like at that time, he decided that there was something like it, but it was not very similar, because he had never seen Chairman Mao when he was young.
Young Mao Zedong
However, in the year he was picked up, he was very tall and did not look like the children of the neighbors. If Zhu Daolai was really Chairman Mao's son, it would be really terrible, but unfortunately he heard that later, Zhu Daolai died.
Although Chairman Mao did not determine Zhu Daolai's identity, he did not deny that Zhu Daolai was not Mao Anhong, but only said some things like "I am not in charge" and "Don't talk about this matter."
There are many mysteries surrounding Zhu Daolai's body, but these mysteries have not been solved with his death, and they have been left behind to this day.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="37" > he Zizhen's six children</h1>
However, throughout He Zizhen's life, she also endured a lot of pain, He Zizhen was only 20 years old when she first had her first child, at that time the conditions of the Red Army were still very difficult, and she had no choice but to find a family, gave 15 pieces of ocean and sent the child away.
However, at that time, He Zizhen still thought of waiting for the future to come back to pick up, however, what she did not expect was that this was the last time she and her eldest daughter met.

In 1932, Mao Zemin came to see his eldest daughter under the entrustment of He Zizhen, but unexpectedly got the news that the child had died prematurely. After He Zizhen learned about it, he did not ease up for half a day.
In November 1932, He Zizhen gave birth to a second child, this child is Mao Mao, and it is indeed impossible to find them after being separated.
In 1933, He Zizhen gave birth to a third child. Due to the frequent wars at that time, He Zizhen's poor physical condition led to premature birth of the child, but eventually he died tragically.
Li min
In 1935, during the Long March, He Zizhen gave birth to her fourth child. Due to the urgency of the situation at that time, the enemy chased after it very tightly.
He Zizhen, who had just given birth to a child, was inconvenient to march around with the baby, so He Zizhen endured the pain of cutting love, wrapped the child up with a military coat, and took Qian Xijun away with four silver dollars.
After the founding of New China, I also searched for the whereabouts of this child, but in the end, because there were too few clues, I could not find it.
In the winter of 1936, the Central Red Army was transferred to the security guards, at which time He Zizhen gave birth to a fifth child, this child was the later Li Min, and the only child who stayed by He Zizhen's side.
He Zizhen and Li Min
Although He Zizhen was separated from Li Min for a while when she went to the Soviet Union for treatment during this period, when she was four years old, Mao Zedong sent Li Min to the Soviet Union to comfort He Zizhen's loneliness in a foreign land.
In 1937, when He Zizhen left northern Shaanxi to play in the Soviet Union alone, she was pregnant, and after arriving in Moscow, she gave birth to a boy, and this child was He Zizhen's last child, however, this child also died tragically.
For this reason, He Zizhen was heartbroken. However, Li Min almost failed to save her life during the Soviet Period, at that time Li Min was seriously ill, the Soviet side had sent her to the morgue, under the efforts and pleading of He Zizhen, finally saved Li Min and saved his only child.

If He Zizhen is said to be Chairman Mao's wife, she is lucky to be Chairman Mao's companion. But at the same time, she was unfortunate, fate favored her and destroyed her at the same time, but whether it was sad or happy, this ordinary and strong woman also persevered with tears and silently completed her life.
