Chairman Mao didn't really laugh for a long time after learning the bad news of his eldest son's death. Late at night on March 2, Mao Zedong, exhausted, boarded the special train to Shijiazhuang and began to work for more than a month.
The chairman never blames anyone, and all the pain is in his heart. During that time, the atmosphere in Chairman Mao's family was quiet and depressing, and no one knew how to persuade this deep old man. It was not until the end of September of 195 1 that a small guest came to the house and there was laughter here.
This little guest is Mao Yuanxin, the son of Mao Zedong's eldest brother Mao Zemin.
Mao Yuanxin has been living in Nanchang, and his mother Zhu Danhua came to Beijing to attend the All-China Women's Federation meeting and brought him to Beijing. Kang Keqing loved children as soon as he saw them. She immediately said to Zhu Danhua, "It's inconvenient to bring children to the meeting. Let the children live in our house." Kang Keqing took Mao Yuanxin to Chairman Mao's home. Mao Yuanxin and Li Ne are about the same age and have been chattering. Hearing the children's laughter, the chairman walked out of the back room and saw Mao Yuanxin. He immediately grabbed Mao Yuanxin's hand and asked questions.
Half a month later, after the All-China Women's Federation meeting, Zhu Danhua went to Mr. Zhu's house to meet Mao Yuanxin and took him to say goodbye to his uncle. Mao Yuanxin wants to stay in Beijing Yu Ying Primary School, which was moved to Beijing by the CPC Central Committee from Xibaipo. Mao Yuanxin also studied there at the beginning, and there were many teachers and classmates familiar with Mao Yuanxin. He hasn't adapted to the new school since the school moved away.
The chairman said to Mao Yuanxin, "If you live here, you will easily become a flower in the greenhouse. Go back to Nanchang with your mother, watch the wind and rain and grow up. " Mao Yuanxin immediately grabbed the white: "I don't live here, I live in school, how can I become a flower in the greenhouse?"
The chairman pretended to be serious and said, "Wow! Do you know what the flowers in the greenhouse mean? " Mao Yuanxin's mouth pursed: "I don't know, it's not a good thing to listen to you." In a word, the chairman smiled.
Chairman Mao has never been so happy since Mao Anying died. People around the chairman hope that Mao Yuanxin can stay and spend more time with the chairman. Therefore, Mao Yuanxin returned to the original Yucai Primary School as he wished. During the winter and summer vacations, the Chairman will send someone to send Mao Yuanxin back to Nanchang.
1955, after the cadre implemented the salary system, Zhu Danhua sent Mao Yuanxin living expenses and tuition fees. Chairman Mao shook his head: "Zemin is dead, and Yuanxin is his own child."
Yes, Mao Zemin has been gone for ten years. Zhu Danhua from tore heart crack lung, unacceptable, to slowly calm down, hard to bring up children, and the love between Mao Zemin, all melted into love for children. What moved her even more was Chairman Mao's concern for their family, his affection for the Mao family, and Mao Zemin's love, which grew stronger and stronger in daily chores and in the encouragement and support of his family.
19 1 1 year 65438+February 26th, Zhu Danhua was born in Cixi, Zhejiang. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had been overthrown by the Revolution of 1911, and the Republic of China had not yet been established. Zhu Danhua often said: "I was born in an era without dynasties, and my date of birth is the same as Chairman Mao."
Zhu Danhua studied in Shanghai Wuben Girls' Middle School in her early years. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, she went to Yan 'an Shanbei Public School to study. 1938, assigned to the provincial Dihua girls' middle school as the teaching director. Almost at the same time, Mao Zemin was sent by the central government to Xinjiang under the pseudonym of Zhou Bin as the director of the financial department.
Mao Zemin was originally arranged by the central authorities to be treated and cultivated in the Soviet Union because of the worsening stomach trouble, but when passing through Xinjiang, a serious plague appeared on the Sino-Soviet border, and Mao Zemin had to stay in Xinjiang.
Shi Sheng, a warlord in Xinjiang, wanted to use the power of the Soviet Union to deal with Chiang Kai-shek and proposed to join the Soviet * * * Production Party. He asked China * * * production party cadres to go to Xinjiang for revolution. In order to unite forces, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent many outstanding cadres to assist Sheng, and Mao Zemin was one of them.
Mao Zemin has rich management experience. After he came to Xinjiang, he immediately discovered the problem of financial order in Xinjiang. At the beginning of 1939, in the meeting room of Xinjiang provincial government, Mao Zemin was working on the implementation measures of "Reforming Xinjiang Finance, Establishing Xinjiang Financial Budget and Decision-making System" and "Preventing Individuals from Getting Rich". After Mao Zemin finished his report, all the officials were chattering about it. Some people nodded in agreement, some people questioned the opposition, and opinions could not be unified for a while.
Sheng Cai's family has long controlled Xinjiang's finance and occupied huge wealth. If the fiscal reform is really drastic, it will certainly touch the interests of Sheng and his party members. Among the many doubters whispering, a young girl suddenly stood up and said loudly, "I agree with Director Zhou."
The girl looks very young, but she is eloquent and well-founded, and clearly expounds the necessity of reform. As soon as she said a word, the situation at the meeting turned around. At the end of the meeting, Mao Zemin's report was formally adopted. Mao Zemin watched the girl leave the scene with the crowd, but he didn't even know her name.
A few days later, at the meeting of the heads of the eighth office in Xinjiang, Mao Zemin asked Deng Fa, the representative of the Central Committee, in a low voice: "That day, at the meeting of supervising government affairs, that woman member …" Mao Zemin just pretended to ask casually, but the listener kept an eye. Deng Fa smiled and said, "Her name is Zhu Danhua. She is the dean of Dihua Girls' High School. She's not married. Shall I build you a bridge? "
Deng Fa knew that the relationship between Mao Zemin and Qian Xijun had come to an end. The contradiction between Qian Xijun and Mao Zemin is deepening day by day. She couldn't figure out why Mao Zemin didn't go to the anti-Japanese battlefield, but stayed in Xinjiang to engage in United front with warlords. In fact, two people have separated because of their different views and feelings. Qian Xijun doesn't understand what Mao Zemin is doing at all, and she doesn't want to communicate and understand. She filed a divorce with the organization and demanded to leave Xinjiang immediately to work in the anti-Japanese front.
Mao Zemin thinks he has a big temper and is not considerate, but Deng Fa, a comrade-in-arms around him, still hopes to have a wife to take care of him. After all, Mao Zemin was still ill.
Among the teachers in Dihua Girls' Middle School, Zhu Danhua is the most diligent and has little time to think about love and marriage. When Deng Fa found Zhu Danhua to talk about it, Zhu Danhua's face turned red at once.
Zhu Danhua worships Mao Zemin very much. She listened to Mao Zemin's report several times, so she was able to "argue Confucianism" in an orderly way at the last meeting, and grasped the key of Mao Zemin's report. Zhu Danhua knows that Mao Zemin is an expert in financial management. During the revolutionary years, she was absorbed in her work and never thought about it. Deng Fa, as the top leader sent by the Central Committee to work in Xinjiang, talked to Zhu Danhua about this matter, and Zhu Danhua knew the weight of this matter.
Deng Fa told Zhu Danhua that Comrade Zhou Bin was actually Mao Zedong's younger brother Mao Zemin, and repeatedly told her to find a reliable partner. With the help of Deng Fa, the love process between Zhu Danhua and Mao Zemin is very smooth.
1940 in may, Mao Zemin returned to Xinjiang from the Soviet union, and they held a very simple wedding in the auditorium of Xinjiang provincial government. The groom is wearing an old suit and the bride is wearing the only new skirt she bought in Xinjiang in recent years.
The choir of Dihua Girls' School came to the venue and sang a song they wrote for the couple:
Their wedding room is in an ordinary room in the finance department. The furniture is all old furniture. Mao Zemin only has an old suitcase and an old rattan bag, which contains some books besides the old clothes that follow him all the year round. Zhu Danhua only has a bag and a manual sewing machine brought from Yan 'an.
194 1 After the Spring Festival, Zhu Danhua gave birth to a big fat boy. Mao Zemin, 45, was overjoyed and named his son Mao Yuanxin.
1942 In the spring and summer, Chiang Kai-shek launched many anti-* * events. After the Southern Anhui Incident, the vacillating Sheng Chua felt that China's * * * production party would "collapse" and the Soviet Union would fail. He immediately found another backer and decided to go to Chiang Kai-shek.
In August, Chiang Kai-shek sent Song Meiling and Zhu Shaoliang to Dihua to woo Sheng, and Chiang Kai-shek promised to give him eight important positions. Sheng Cai mastered the power of the party, government, military and financial affairs in Xinjiang, and also obtained the position of member of the Kuomintang Central Supervision Committee and deputy commander of the Eighth Theater. He quickly tore off the mask of hypocrisy, betrayed the new policy that had been put forward, and arrested the producers and progressives in Xinjiang.
1942 At the opening ceremony in autumn, the teachers of Dihua Girls' Middle School found that Zhu Danhua had disappeared. At that time, Qiu, the principal of the school, was Sheng's wife. All the faculty and staff are afraid to talk about it openly, for fear that it will spread to Sheng's ears. These dissatisfied remarks and emotions will bring fatal disasters to themselves and their families.
On September 17, 2007, Sheng secretly placed the wife and children of Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and other * * * party leaders under house arrest in the name of "inviting the competent leaders to talk". Then, he detained all the producers and their families who applied to the central government for help in Xinjiang's construction. Zhu Danhua took Mao Yuanxin, who was only 1 year-old, to prison and went through three years and nine months of darkness. 1943 In February, Sheng Jiang was separated from her husband and held in solitary confinement. This is the last time Zhu Danhua and her husband met.
Zhu Danhua is so anxious that she can't see Mao Zemin. I wonder if his stomach trouble has recurred. Does the incision in his operation hurt? In prison, comrades ate moldy steamed bread mixed with gravel. Zhu Danhua always worried about Mao Zemin's health, looked after the children and cried in the middle of the night.
Later, Zhu Danhua heard that prison visits were allowed and prisoners could get something to eat or use during holidays. Several leaders in Mao Zemin were not allowed to visit at all, and even Zhu Danhua didn't know where they were being held.
Every Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, women's prison comrades will prepare clothes and send them to men's prisons. Zhu Danhua will prepare 7 copies each time, and then write a simple blessing note. Men's prisons also have single comrades, and they also need holiday wishes.
In fact, Zhu Danhua and Mao Zemin haven't been together for a long time, and Zhu Danhua still has a lot to say to Mao Zemin. Every time I send something, Zhu Danhua will design it in advance to express their mother and son's yearning for Mao Zemin and their love for Mao Zemin. She cooks food and sews clothes, hoping that when Mao Zemin receives them, she can feel what she can't say. However, these things have been sent, and Zhu Danhua still hasn't heard from her husband.
Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu and other senior leaders were detained in Xinjiang No.2 Prison and subjected to various kinds of torture. They were coerced into admitting that they had planned the so-called "conspiracy and riot". Mao Zemin would rather die than surrender, pointing to Sheng in prison and reprimanding him for his treachery.
1943 During the Spring Festival, Zhu Danhua finally received a short message. Zhu Danhua took it in his hand and identified it carefully. After reading it for a long time, he was sure that it was Mao Zemin's autograph "Zhou Bin". Mao Zemin didn't dare to ask about Zhu Danhua. He said nothing about his bad prison life. He just wrote a line, "high-waisted leather shoes, a belt to tie his stomach." This is the only and last message that Mao Zemin wrote to Zhu Danhua. When Zhu Danhua looked at these words, he burst into tears.
In those days, Zhu Danhua cried almost every day, and these words gave Zhu Danhua such a disturbing signal. High-waisted leather shoes, Mao Zemin's feet must have been worn by chains, and rust kept rubbing the wounds on his feet. Well, it's broken, broken and scabbed. He must be in too much pain to ask Zhu Danhua for a pair of high-waisted leather shoes to stop the pain caused by the shackles. Mao Zemin has always had a big scar after abdominal surgery. When he takes strenuous exercise or the weather changes, his scar often hurts faintly. If he is severely punished, his pain will be even more unbearable. The living conditions in the prison are bad, and Mao Zemin can think of a way to alleviate it, that is, to bind the abdomen with a bandage to suppress the pain.
Zhu Danhua sewed the bandage stitch by stitch, and the stitches were very dense. When Zhu Danhua discovered high heels, he thought that Mao Zemin always liked to wear cloth shoes, so he sewed a pair of cloth shoes day and night. She found a hat and put a note in it. She took Xiao Yuanxin's hand and wrote "Hello, Dad", simply telling him that women and children are together, and I hope the comrades in the male prison can rest assured.
Send the prepared things to the past, and there is no reply from Mao Zemin. At that time, Mao Zemin had been tortured to pieces by the enemy. Since May, in addition to torture, the enemy has also imposed a "wheel" law on them. Auditees can't sleep for 24 hours, and they will be awakened by chemical drugs as soon as they close their eyes. When Mao Zemin was in a coma, the enemy even tried to grab his hand and put his handprint on the pre-written "confession". Mao Zemin is indomitable and never succeeds.
1943 In September, Sheng received a notice from Chiang Kai-shek asking him to attend a meeting in Chongqing. In order to take credit for Chiang Kai-shek, Sheng gave an order before he left, demanding the killing of Mao Zemin, Chen Tanqiu and other * * * party leaders. Late at night on the 27th, the executioner knocked Mao Zemin out and strangled him with a rope. On the same day, Chen Tanqiu and Lin were killed.
The bodies of martyrs were put into sacks by the enemy and buried on the abandoned hillside of Liudaowan in the north of Dihua. A few days later, Sheng ordered his men to dig up all the remains, take photos one by one and give them to Chiang Kai-shek as a reward.
Zhu Danhua was in prison and knew nothing about her husband's sacrifice. On the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, Zhu Danhua sent a ham and didn't see the receipt. 1944 During the Spring Festival, Zhu Danhua sent clothes, but they still sank into the sea. ...
The sense of insecurity is getting stronger and stronger. Zhu Danhua wanted to see Mao Zemin, and her firm belief made her persist in fighting the enemy. In Xinjiang No.4 prison. In order to unite all the people, they organized a meeting of learning officers in prison, persisted in the struggle, strived for collective acquittal, and returned to Yan 'an. To this end, Zhu Danhua risked his life and did a lot of secret work.
At noon one day, in order to suppress the resistance of female prisoners, the prison pulled out all the adults and children and concentrated them in the prison compound. It was midsummer and the sun was burning. A female friend in distress was tied to a tree and a guard kept beating her. Zhu Danhua led the crowd around and shouted: "Don't hit people, don't insult women, or we will all go on a hunger strike!" The guards who beat people were startled, fearing that everyone would have an accident if they rebelled, so they had to promise to negotiate with them. After the talks, all the detained party member and his family had a little time to "let out the wind".
1944, Sheng was transferred from Xinjiang by Chiang Kai-shek and went to Nanjing as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry. One day, Zhu Danhua took sick Mao Yuanxin to the hospital outside the prison. In the hospital, she met Zhang Yuzhen, a student of Dihua Girls' Middle School.
Although Zhang Yuzhen's family is poor, she is progressive in thought and has excellent academic performance. Zhu Danhua was impressed with her. Seeing that the once respected teacher was tortured like this, Zhang Yuzhen made up her mind to help her. Zhu Danhua organized women's prison comrades to write the list of all detainees on a piece of white cloth with paste, secretly handed it to Zhang Yuzhen, and told Zhang Yuzhen to hand it over to the party organization.
Zhang Yuzhen ventured to Yan 'an. Because of difficulties, she had to divert to Chongqing, where she found the office of the Eighth Route Army in Chongqing and solemnly handed the list to Wei Chuantong, the secretary of Zhou Enlai. Today, in China Revolutionary Military Museum, this "distress letter" concerning the lives of more than 65,438,000 comrades-in-arms is still treasured.
In prison, Zhu Danhua actually got the uncertain news that one year after Mao Zemin's death, it was said that two other leaders in Mao Zemin had been killed. The wives of the three leaders jointly decided that Zhu Danhua should write a letter of protest to the Kuomintang authorities. This letter of protest caused an uproar.
1945, the Anti-Japanese War finally won. Chiang Kai-shek sent Zhang Zhizhong to Xinjiang as the director of Northwest Camp of CMC and chairman of Xinjiang Province. The comrades in the women's prison wrote to Zhang Zhizhong in the name of "the left-behind personnel of the 18th Army", demanding to restore freedom and treat sick comrades in prison.
Zhang Zhizhong read the letter and invited them to send representatives to negotiate. At the negotiating table, Zhu Danhua repeatedly suggested that he must know the whereabouts of three comrades, including "Zhou Bin". Zhang Zhizhong said that the files of the three comrades were not found at all, and life and death were unknown.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has been persistently negotiating with the Kuomintang government to demand the release of Yan 'an personnel in Xinjiang. It was not until June 1946 that Zhu Danhua and other talents finally got out of prison, including 23 children. Zhang Zhizhong arranged eight trucks to take them away from Dihua. These 65,438+000 comrades finally left Sheng's unjust prison.
More than a month later, Zhu Danhua and her son met Mao Zedong in Yan 'an, and their relatives finally got together. Mao Yuanxin was five years old and was sent to Yan 'an as a nurse. Zhu Danhua was assigned to the Central Women's Committee.
Zhu Danhua didn't give up looking for Mao Zemin, no matter life or death, she must know where he is. Zhu Danhua, brimming with grief, asked Mao Zedong to trace the whereabouts of three comrades, including Mao Zemin. Tears filled her eyes and she choked, "As long as there is one in ten thousand hope, we can't let it go." Mao Zedong nodded, perhaps afraid that Zhu Danhua would be sad, but he didn't say anything.
Waiting for the truth, until the early liberation, the executioner and Ji who framed Mao Zemin were arrested one after another, and the details of the murder of Mao Zemin and other martyrs were released. People found a place to bury martyrs, dug up the remains of heroes, built tombs of martyrs and built martyrs' cemeteries.
1983, when the people of Xinjiang commemorated the 40th anniversary of the martyrs of Chen Tanqiu, Mao Zemin and Lin Jilu, people discovered Zhu Danhua with white hair. She brought flowers and sobbed at Mao Zemin's grave. In Xinjiang, Zhu Danhua met prisoners who had supported each other in prison and children who had taught knowledge by hand ... In prison, she called Mao Zemin's name over and over again, hoping that her husband in the men's prison could hear it. Today, China is liberated, and Xinjiang is also rich. Mao Zemin, who is quietly watching this land here, can finally sleep.
Mao Yuanxin has no memory of his father. Like everyone else, he can only look for traces left by his father from his mother's memory and cultural relics in the museum. In the memorial hall, Mao Yuanxin saw a document that the Kuomintang convicted his father among the cultural relics on display, which clearly stated the charge of "endangering the Republic of China". Mao Yuanxin trembled uncontrollably and his eyes were moist.
Mao Yuanxin visited Xinjiang many times to repair the former residence of Mao Zemin martyrs. With the support of friends, Professor Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts was invited to make a bronze statue of Mao Zemin and present it to the memorial hall. He once designed a postal fold for his father, with a bronze statue on the cover and two photos on the back.
In a photo, Mao Zemin stands side by side with his brother, brother Mao Zetan and mother Wen; The other is the last photo of Mao Zemin before his death. In the photo, Mao Zemin and his wife and children take a happy photo together. Mao Yuanxin is only one year old. From Shaoshan to Tianshan, Mao Zemin completed his glorious life, leaving Zhu Danhua and Mao Yuanxin with long-term thoughts.
