1In August, 927, Chairman Mao was wanted by the authorities. For the safety of his family, Yang Kaihui and others were sent back to Bancang, and his wife and children were entrusted to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Since then, Xiang Zhenxi's family has lived in white terror for a long time. Yang Kaihui has a special status and is afraid to stay in Bancang to live with the children. He can only hide around Changsha to carry out revolutionary work. Brother Sanmao has been taken care of by his mother.
1930 10, Yang Kaihui was unfortunately arrested by the enemy because he was betrayed by traitors. In the same year11April1October, Yang Kaihui, who was only 29 years old, was killed in the literacy ridge outside Liuyang gate.
After Yang Kaihui died, he left three young sons. Yang Kaihui's mother takes good care of her three children regardless of their age. She never dared to leave her three grandchildren for a moment, just as she would be taken away if she were not careful. She transferred all her love for her little daughter to her grandchildren.
As soon as the news of Yang Kaihui's sacrifice came out, Chairman Mao, who had been separated from his wife for many years, learned the news of his wife and children.
Things have changed, his wife was killed for revealing her identity, and her three children are in danger. In order to prevent the three children from accidents, Chairman Mao immediately planned to take them to Shanghai and give them to his younger brother Mao Zemin and his wife to settle down and raise them.
Xiang Zhenxi was very sad when he learned of the chairman's arrangement. After the birth of three children, she has been growing up around her, worried that the children will not be able to adapt to the new life after leaving her. She also knows that the children live with her, not only the safety can not be guaranteed, but she is too old to accompany her children for a long time, so she has to reluctantly send them away.
However, under the eyes of the reactionaries, it is not an easy task to safely transfer the three children to the underground party organization. Xiang Zhenxi didn't trust others to handle this matter. In her 60 s, she decided to go into battle in person. Under the careful arrangement of the party organization, Xiang Zhenxi took three children to Nanjing to meet his daughter-in-law Li Chongde.
Pretend to take the children to visit relatives, take the train to Wuhan, and then take the boat to Shanghai. They escorted the three brothers all the way to Mr. and Mrs. Mao Zemin's place safely. Finally, she was relieved to see the child being picked up by her uncle.
Xiang Zhenxi safely sent his three children to Shanghai and returned to his hometown in Hunan to live with his son Yang Kaizhi. Since Shanghai, Xiang Zhenxi has never heard from her three grandchildren again, which made Mrs. Yang suffer greatly.
Later, due to the war and the persecution of reactionaries, the Yang Kaizhi family had to leave their hometown and take refuge everywhere. Chairman Mao also constantly moved around and carried out revolutionary work, so the family completely lost contact.
It was not until 1949 that Changsha, Hunan Province was successfully liberated that Yang Kaizhi learned that the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party headed by Chairman Mao had entered Beijing to carry out their work. In order to realize the mother's desire to know the news of her grandchildren, Yang Kaizhi immediately wrote a letter to Chairman Mao, in which she reported that her mother Xiang Zhenxi was still alive and had been waiting for the news of her son-in-law and three grandchildren.
Chairman Mao was very happy to learn that Mrs. Yang was still alive, and the past began to come back to his mind. Recalling the home of my temporary teacher, Yang Changji, Jenny took good care of Jane, and my heart was warm.
Immediately, I personally replied a telegram to Yang Kaizhi: "I learned from your letter that the old lady was very pleased that she was still alive. Congratulations. An Ying and Anqing are both in Beijing. Anqing is still studying, and An Ying may be able to go back to work in Hunan. They all miss their grandmother very much. I am in good health, please don't look at the old lady. "
In September of the same year, Chairman Mao learned that Wang Jiaxiang's wife, Zhu Zhongli, was going back to Hunan, and specially entrusted her to bring back a fur coat for the old lady to keep out the cold. And attach a personal letter: "Hello, Mrs. Yang! Now, due to Miss Zhu's convenience, I will call on you for me. I gave you the fur coat inside, and two fur coats are for Kaizhi and his wife. "
Mrs. Yang was very happy after receiving the gift from her son-in-law. Although she is old and doesn't care about the world, she also knows that her son-in-law has taken on a great responsibility now, so she often warns the younger generation at home not to use this in-laws to make trouble outside, which is very reasonable.
This is also one of the reasons why Chairman Mao regards Mrs. Yang as a filial mother. Later, someone once said: "Among the relatives of the previous generation, I am afraid that Mrs. Yang is the one that Chairman Mao cares most about and cares most."
Chairman Mao has always missed Mrs. Lao Yang since he resumed contact with her. 1950, on the occasion of Mrs. Yang's 80th birthday, Chairman Mao specially called Mao, who was studying at the grassroots level, home. Chairman Mao's educational methods have always been very strict, and he has never been asked to go home without completing his task.
This kind of behavior makes everyone very puzzled. Chairman Mao said to Mao: "I called you back this time because you have a special task to perform, that is, to go back to your hometown in Hunan to celebrate your grandmother's birthday!" " Only then did Mao know the reason why his father kept calling himself back.
Before leaving, the chairman said to Mao earnestly, "When you go back to Hunan this time, please visit your mother Yang Kaihui's grave for me, and then go back to Shaoshan's hometown to greet the villagers. In addition, bring more things to your grandmother, Mrs. Lao Yang, give her a birthday and spend time with her old man! "
Chairman Mao specially prepared some supplements that he never wanted to eat, and some brand-new clothes as gifts, and invited kishida fumio to bring them to Mrs. Yang. In addition, Chairman Mao also wrote a personal letter: "To the old lady: I am very happy to celebrate the 80th birthday of the old lady, because I brought my children to Hunan, and I presented some small things such as ginseng, velvet antler and clothes to express my congratulations. I am still praying to accept it. Go to Ji Kang! " Anqing must be personally handed over to Mrs. Lao Yang.
After Mao arrived in Changsha, she went to see her grandmother at the first time. When she saw her white-haired grandmother, 28-year-old Mao threw himself into her arms. The grandparents and grandchildren who have not seen each other for many years suddenly huddled together, and Mrs. Yang was filled with emotion. She shed tears of excitement and couldn't stop shouting, "Good grandson, good grandson."
After waiting for 19 years, the 80-year-old Mrs. Yang finally met her long-lost grandson. That night, Mao stayed at his grandmother's house, and the two grandparents missed each other and had a good talk.
Mao asked her grandmother to tell him stories about her father and mother when they were young. Xiang Zhenxi asked Mao Anying to tell her everything he had done outside over the years. Xiang Zhenxi also asked Mao Anying to read the letter written by Chairman Mao to her word for word. Mrs. Yang said, "Look at your father. Although he is a great man, he also has a childlike innocence. "
195 1 year, Mao died on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Chairman Mao was worried that her father could not accept the bad news and never told her that Mao Anying had passed away.
On the occasion of Mrs Yang's birthday, Chairman Mao sent his second son, Mao Anqing, to visit Hunan.
Later, the wage system was implemented. Chairman Mao sends part of his salary to Mrs Lao Yang every month. Sometimes the staff forget that Chairman Mao will remind him and ask someone to send it back. It didn't stop until Mrs. Yang died. He never forgets every birthday of the old lady. Every time, I entrust someone to send gifts and send my son a birthday.
1960, which coincided with Mrs. Yang's ninetieth birthday, was unable to go to celebrate her birthday because of a relapse on the shore. Chairman Mao heard that Yang Kaihui's cousin Yang Kaiying was going to Hunan to celebrate her birthday in person. He found Yang Kaiying, asked her to take a letter to the old lady, and gave her 200 yuan cash to help her buy a suitable birthday present for the old lady, or directly brought cash.
After receiving it, Mrs. Yang was very happy and repeatedly praised: "Runzhi is a very filial person."
1962 In the spring, Mao Anqing and Shao Hua got married, and Chairman Mao specially told his son to take his wife back to Hunan to show his grandmother.
Since then, Chairman Mao has repeatedly asked his son and daughter-in-law to visit the elderly in Hunan. In June of the same year165438+1October, 92-year-old Mrs. Yang went to Zhenxi with a smile. When Chairman Mao learned the news, he immediately sent a letter of condolence to Yang Kaizhi and said to him:
"I was shocked to learn that the old lady died and I was very sad. I hope you and your wife can express their condolences and send me 500 yuan money, thinking that mourning and funeral can be shared with my dear wife, Comrade Yang Kaihui. Our two families are the same, regardless of each other. "
Chairman Mao's sincere love for Mrs. Lao Yang is really touching. For Chairman Mao, Mrs. Lao Yang has always been his sweetheart. His friendship with Mrs. Lao Yang pinned his thoughts on his wife Yang Kaihui, and he also respected his teacher Yang Changji. It also reflects his sincere filial piety to his elders. As a great man, Chairman Mao personally explained to us the old saying that "filial piety comes first".
