After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Chiang Kai-shek, who fled to Taiwan in defeat, also paid attention to this great war that would determine the future situation in East Asia. Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly proposed to the United States to send troops to participate in the Korean War, but the United States refused. Late one night, a piece of intelligence from the Korean Peninsula shocked Chiang Kai-shek and he could not calm down for a long time.
This information is that Chairman Mao's son Mao Anying was killed in the Korean battlefield. Chiang Kai-shek, who had fought with Chairman Mao all his life, had mixed feelings in his heart after hearing this news, and he broke up with Soong Mei-ling in the middle of the night and had a long talk with his eldest son, Chiang Ching-kuo. What did Chiang Kai-shek say to Chiang Ching-kuo? What did Chairman Mao say after learning of Mao Anying's sacrifice?

"The child is determined to go out of the country, and he will not pay back if he does not become famous." Buried bones why mulberry land, life is everywhere green mountains. ”
In the autumn of 1910, Chairman Mao left his hometown of Shaoshan and decided to go out into the vast world, and before leaving, he wrote this poem and sandwiched it in the ledger that his father read every day. After that, Chairman Mao embarked on a revolutionary road of seeking happiness for the poor people all over the world, and Chairman Mao's son Mao Anying also followed in his father's footsteps and embarked on the revolutionary road.
In October 1947, Chairman Mao wrote to Mao Anying that "no matter what a person learns or does, as long as he has enthusiasm and perseverance, and does not have the vanity of individualism that is not in line with the interests of the people, there will always be progress." ”
Bearing the aura of Chairman Mao's son, Mao Anying's life was not as smooth as ordinary people think. Chairman Mao was a staunch revolutionary, and the concept of private ownership of "passing on from father to son and from family to family" had long been abandoned by Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao's participation in the revolution was to break this old world and create a new world free of exploitation and oppression.
It is precisely because of this that Chairman Mao, when he was young, distributed all the family wealth that his father had painstakingly accumulated over the past few decades to the poor people free of charge, and resolutely took his brothers and sisters to embark on the revolutionary road together.
For the sake of the Chinese revolution, Chairman Mao sacrificed six of his relatives, his younger siblings, as well as his wife and his children, all on the road of revolution.
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1950 was an uncompromising battle for the founding of New China, but to this day, some people enjoy the fruits of victory brought about by the sacrifices of countless volunteer soldiers; on the one hand, they point fingers at this war, and even more they deny Chairman Mao's lifelong sincerity for the country and the people by slandering Mao Anying's sacrifice.
These people made the most slanderous remarks, saying that Chairman Mao sent Mao Anying to the Korean battlefield in order to "gild" him so that he could come back and let him succeed him. This kind of "gilding" argument was very popular for some time, but if you think about it, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a difficult war, and before the war, countless high-level leaders opposed the dispatch of troops, and only Chairman Mao made a decision to support the dispatch of troops.
This war, which is not optimistic about the world, is this a good place to "gild" in the face of indiscriminate bombardment by the US military? Of the volunteer soldiers who went to the Korean battlefield to "defend their homeland," countless of them lay buried on the Korean Peninsula, and Mao Anying was one of them.
If you want to gild, then you only need to look at the growth experience of Chiang Ching-kuo and Mao Anying to understand what is gilded. Chiang Ching-kuo, born in 1910, went to the Soviet Union in October 1925 to study, returned to China in March 1937, and was immediately entrusted by Chiang Kai-shek with important responsibilities. In June 1939, at the age of 29, Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed as the administrative inspector of Ganzhou and the commander of district security, and won the title of "Jiang Qingtian" in Gannan Province.
The reason why Chiang Ching-kuo was able to not fear power and win the hearts and minds of the people in the Kuomintang, which was rotten from top to bottom, was not because his father Chiang Kai-shek was the biggest power in the Kuomintang?
In 1940, Chiang Ching-kuo founded the "Three Youth League Jiangxi Cadre Training Class", training more than 500 cadres, most of whom later became the concubines of Chiang Ching-kuo's lineage, which was his initial political team. Chiang Ching-kuo's experience is the standard experience for cultivating successors, allowing them to be in charge of the party, win the hearts and minds of the people, and cultivate forces.
After Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and escape to Taiwan, Chiang Ching-kuo's succession was a matter of certainty.
And Mao Anying's experience is much more bumpy. Born in October 1922 in Changsha, Hunan Province, Mao Anying was imprisoned when he was 8 years old when his mother Yang Kaihui was arrested and imprisoned.
After Yang Kaihui's sacrifice, the underground party rescued Mao Anying and his two younger brothers and arranged them to Shanghai. Since then, due to the destruction of the ccp's underground party organization, the Mao Anying brothers have lived on the streets, just like "The Wanderings of Sanmao", they have picked up rags, sold newspapers, and pushed rickshaws on the streets of Shanghai.
In 1936, Mao Anying and his younger brother Mao Anying were arranged to study in the Soviet Union, and Mao Anying was active during his time in the Soviet Union. When the Great Patriotic War broke out in the Soviet Union in 1941, although the Chinese and Soviet parties had an agreement not to allow Chinese children to perform military service, Mao Anying still insisted on participating in the war, and was finally approved.
In the World Anti-Fascist War, although Mao Anying did not fight in the anti-Japanese battlefield in China, he followed the Soviet Red Army to participate in the march into Belarus, Poland and the Czech Republic. In 1946, Mao Anying returned to Yan'an, and according to the general idea, there were such excellent children, and they should be entrusted with heavy responsibilities to arrange them in important posts. However, Chairman Mao let Mao Anying, who had returned to China, live in the home of Wu Laozhong, a model worker at that time, and make up for this lesson of the "Labor University." Mao Anying began to learn agricultural work such as land reclamation, ploughing, and sowing seeds.
In 1947, Mao Anying went to Shanxi and Shandong to participate in land reform work, and also did propaganda work and served as a secretary, but he did not send him to the army to be "gilded." If Chairman Mao really had selfish intentions, why didn't he casually send Mao Anying to the major field armies to be gilded when the Liberation War was being won one after another?
In the same way, Mao Anying did not regard himself as a "prince", he always kept his father's teachings in mind and aspired to be a Communist Party member who served the people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > lost his beloved son and sacrificed for the country</h1>
In Mao Anying's short life, he was determined to do more beneficial things for the people. After the liberation of the whole country, Mao Anying repeatedly proposed to go down to the grass-roots level to work and asked to go among the workers.
In the summer of 1950, Premier Mao An Yingtuo Zhou interceded with Li Kenong, asking the Social Investigation Department to let him go to the Beijing Machinery General Factory to serve as deputy secretary of the general party branch, and was determined to "continue to do ten years of continuous work in this factory." However, after the outbreak of the Korean War, US imperialism burned the flames of war to the Yalu River, Chairman Mao called on the people of the whole country to "resist the United States and aid Korea, and defend the family and defend the country." Mao Anying took the initiative to apply for membership in the Chinese Volunteer Army and resolutely demanded to join the DPRK and participate in the war. Chairman Mao also expressed support for this.
But the staff around Chairman Mao did not agree, because this time to fight abroad, facing the powerful US military, the Korean Peninsula in 1950 can be said to be the most dangerous place in the world. In the face of other people's attempts to stop him, Chairman Mao's response was the phrase "Whoever calls him Mao Zedong's son, he will not go and who will go back!" ”
Because Mao Anying understood Russian and English, and had engaged in classified intelligence work in the past, he stayed with Mr. Peng to work as a Russian translator and confidential secretary. Later, Chairman Mao recalled: "As the chairman of the CPC Central Committee and as a leader, I have a son of my own, and if I do not send him to resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend my family and defend the country, whose son will I send?" ”
The second battle was fought on November 25, 1950, because there were many telegrams from Dayudong, where Peng Lao's war room was located, so the US military considered Dayudong to be an important target and often sent aircraft to bomb it.
On November 25, Mao Anying, Gao Ruixin, and others were combat duty officers, and the US plane came this time covertly and suddenly, and without even diving action, it quickly dropped incendiary bombs, which just hit the wooden room of the war room. At that time, Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin were concentrating on collecting the battle maps and documents, and their location was far from the door, and when they stood up and ran outside, they were engulfed by thousands of incendiary bombs before they stepped out of the threshold, and the wooden house instantly turned into ashes and became a sea of fire.
Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin died heroically. On the day of Mao Anying's death, Mr. Peng sent a telegram to Premier Zhou, and mr. Peng wrote this short telegram for more than an hour. At that time, Chairman Mao was commanding the second campaign, so Premier Zhou, after consulting with other comrades, decided to temporarily suppress the telegram and did not tell Chairman Mao.
It was not until January 2, 1951, after the end of the battle, that Chairman Mao learned of Mao Anying's sacrifice, and Chairman Mao froze, without a sound, and his eyes were wet, and it was a long time before Chairman Mao let out a sigh, "Who called him Mao Zedong's son..." Everyone present could not help but burst into tears. Mao Anying was only 28 years old at the time of his death.
As chairman Mao's eldest son, Mao Anying did not have any light, and Chairman Mao strictly demanded his children, but in his heart Chairman Mao was very fond of Mao Anying. Mao Anying often asked himself in his diary, "Am I qualified to be Mao Zedong's son?" ”
Before going to North Korea, Mao Anying asked his father this question, and Chairman Mao said, "When you come back, give you an answer." But when he went, Mao Anying never returned. Later, Mao Anying's wife, Liu Siqi, also asked the question, "Is Shore Ying qualified to be your son?" Chairman Mao replied without hesitation, "Qualified, he is my pride." ”
Late one night, when the news of Mao Anying's death reached Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman Mao's old rival, also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he was a little shocked after hearing the news, and then he was silent for a long time.
However, Song Meiling, who told Chiang Kai-shek the news, was particularly puzzled by Chiang Kai-shek's performance, she felt that this was not a shocking news, and even in her opinion, this was still a happy event, Soong Meiling persuaded Chiang Kai-shek's father and son to rest early, so she left. When Soong Mei-ling walked by, Chiang Kai-shek stopped his son Chiang Ching-kuo and had a conversation with him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > late-night conversations for the country and the people</h1>
Chiang Kai-shek asked Chiang Ching-kuo if he had seen Mao Anying in the Soviet Union, and Chiang Ching-kuo said he had not met Mao Anying in the Soviet Union. Chiang Ching-kuo returned to the soviet union in 1937, and Mao Anying only went to the Soviet Union in 1936, and because of his young age, the Mao Brothers studied and lived at the International Children's Institute in Moscow, and there was no possibility of meeting Chiang Ching-kuo.
Chiang Kai-shek sighed and said, "My Chinese nation has a long history and a profound culture, but why should we send our children to the Soviet Union?" Learn the bad problems that you can't change in your life. "What is the bad problem that Chiang Kai-shek is calling?"
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's remarks seem to be talking about Mao Anying, but in fact, he is also talking about Chiang Ching-kuo. Chiang Ching-kuo, who had returned from studying in the Soviet Union, initially fell out of step with the atmosphere of the Kuomintang. As early as the Soviet Union, Chiang Ching-kuo made a statement of public break with Chiang Kai-shek, saying that Chiang Kai-shek was already an enemy of the Chinese workers' masses and was already his enemy.
However, chiang ching-kuo released his former suspicions with Chiang Kai-shek after returning to China, and despite his education in the Red Revolution, Chiang Ching-kuo still did not betray his class, and he was Chiang Kai-shek's son. When he was trained by Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo still retained some communist red ideas, which were reflected in his daily work and words and deeds at that time.
Chiang Ching-kuo also used the term "big bourgeoisie" to refer to Kong Xiangxi and Soong Ziwen, but as Chiang Ching-kuo's status within the Kuomintang was further enhanced, Chiang Ching-kuo also completed the whole process of changing from "red" to "white." Chiang Ching-kuo wanted Chiang Ching-kuo to take over his class and continue to hold power, and Chiang Ching-kuo also lived up to the expectations of the people, and continued to raise the banner of "anti-communism" after his defeat in Taiwan, becoming a new secret service leader within the Kuomintang, eliminating dissidents and consolidating power through "anti-communism." In the end, Chiang Ching-kuo successfully took over the power in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek and became the new generation of leaders in the Taiwan region.
After sighing, Chiang Kai-shek instructed Chiang Ching-kuo to rest, and before Chiang Ching-kuo was leaving, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly said, "Jingguo, live well." At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's identity was no longer the leader of the Kuomintang, but just an ordinary father's advice to his son.
Mao Anying's sacrifice was too strange for a person like Chiang Kai-shek, who had a strong feudal concept, but this is exactly what a communist would do, they sacrificed for the sake of the people, and Chiang Kai-shek will not understand this for the rest of his life.
Mao Anying was an excellent Communist Party member and a hero who sacrificed himself for the people. Chairman Mao said, "Fighting a war always means death." Chinese Volunteers have sacrificed the lives of so many commanders and fighters, and their sacrifices are glorious. Kishi is an ordinary warrior, don't take it as a big deal just because I'm my son. ”
After Chairman Mao's death, when the Central Guard Bureau was cleaning up Chairman Mao's relics, it found a small cabinet containing several pieces of clothing from Mao Anying that Chairman Mao had personally treasured, which had never been seen by the working people around Chairman Mao.
In the 26 years from Mao Anying's sacrifice to Chairman Mao's death, in what kind of grief and loneliness did Chairman Mao treasure these clothes of his son? In the past 26 years, Chairman Mao's residence has been moved at least 5 times, and how did Chairman Mao hide from all the staff and not let anyone find these clothes?
We don't know. Chairman Mao was a great man of China and an eternal leader in the hearts of the people, but he was also a father. A few years after Mao Anying's sacrifice, Chairman Mao used the money he had accumulated to fund Liu Siqi to go to North Korea to visit Mao Anying's grave and told her not to spend a penny of the state.
Before leaving, Chairman Mao said, "Si Qi, tell Shore Ying that you also went to visit his grave on my behalf." Tell him I can't see him on my own and ask him for forgiveness. Tell him that Dad thinks of him and loves him..." In how many sleepless nights, will Chairman Mao take out his treasured clothes and gaze and stroke them? Have these clothes ever been soaked with a man's tears? Chairman Mao paid too much for China.
