The acquaintance between Mao Zedong and Li Doctrine is closely related to Yang Kaihui and Liu Zhixun, and their friendship can be traced back to their parents.
Yang Kaihui's father Yang Changji, his father Li and Liu Zhixun's father Liu are all well-known scholars in Hunan and used to be classmates, so these three families have deep contacts, regardless of each other.
Yang Kaihui lived in the Liu family when he studied martial arts with Liu, and Liu Zhixun lived in the Yang family when he was studying in Changsha. After Yang Changji returned to China, he taught in Hunan No.1 Normal University. Chairman Mao was his favorite student.
After Yang Changji's recommendation, Chairman Mao often visited his father, Mr. Li, to solicit opinions and suggestions for his own articles.
Chairman Mao often visited Yang Changji's home and attended parties, so he got to know Yang Kaihui, Liu Zhixun and others. At first, Yang Kaihui and Liu Zhixun just sat quietly, listening to Chairman Mao and his friends talking about state affairs and attacking current politics.
After a long time, Yang Kaihui and others naturally got involved, and then forged a profound friendship.
At this time, Liu Zhixun, who lives in the Yang family, was greatly moved, shocked and admired when he heard the lofty aspirations and insights of Chairman Mao and others.
Since then, he has often participated in various activities organized by Chairman Mao, and gradually established the noble feelings of "being penniless and worrying about the world".
Chairman Mao came to Beijing to go to France for work-study programs. At that time, Yang Changji recommended him to work as an assistant in Peking University Library.
It was at this time that Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui spent more time together and their feelings became deeper and deeper.
In the early days of Chairman Mao's establishment of the China * * * production party, Yang Kaihui persuaded his mother to donate part of the funeral expenses given by relatives and friends when his father died, provided Chairman Mao with funds for revolutionary activities, and also set up a cultural bookstore. Yang Kaihui also takes an active part in daily work.
Under the care and cultivation of Mao Zedong, Yang Kaihui grew up gradually, and their love also developed in the revolutionary struggle with * * * *.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/920, Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui got married. After the birth of China * * * production party, Yang Kaihui became one of the earliest party member in the history of our party, and followed Mao Zedong to engage in revolutionary activities in Changsha, Shaoshan, Shanghai, Wuchang, Guangzhou and other places, serving as the party's confidential and traffic liaison work.
With the help and training of Chairman Mao, Liu Zhixun studied and studied Marxism and gradually embarked on the revolutionary road. /kloc-0 joined the China * * * production party in February, 924.
Soon, under the matchmaking of Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui, Liu Zhixun and Li Shuyi also got married.
After the autumn harvest uprising failed, Chairman Mao led his troops to Jinggangshan and founded the first rural revolutionary base. At this time, Yang Kaihui insisted on doing underground work in his hometown of Bancang with three children.
1930 10 in June, Yang Kaihui was unfortunately arrested. During this period, Li Shuyi visited the prison regardless of the danger, and tried to rescue Yang Kaihui in many ways, but failed to stop the enemy's evil fire. Yang Kaihui passed away peacefully on June165438+1October 14 at the shizhiling outside Liuyang, Changsha.
At the last moment of her life, what Yang Kaihui cared most about was not herself, but her husband and the revolutionary cause he insisted on. Facing the threat of the enemy, Yang Kaihui said to them firmly without fear: "I deserve to die, and I hope the Runzhi revolution will succeed at an early date!"
After Yang Kaihui's sacrifice, Chairman Mao was heartbroken and wrote to Yang Jiaxin: "The death of Kaihui is beyond redemption."
Yang Kaihui's sacrifice has also dealt a deep blow to Li Shu, which has been immersed in pain for a long time. Only two years later, greater pain came to Li Shuyi. ...
During the national revolution, Liu Zhixun actively carried out the peasant movement in Hunan in strict accordance with the party's ideas and requirements, and made contributions to promoting the development of the peasant movement in Hunan.
Later, Liu Zhixun also assisted He Long to work in the revolutionary base areas in western Hunan and Hubei, and made great contributions to the consolidation and development of the base areas.
1932, Li Shuyi's husband Liu Zhixun was killed at the age of 34. Liu Zhixun left his last words: "Please tell my wife the news of my death and tell her that I am an upright party member."
After Liu Zhixun died, Li Shuyi was only about 30 years old. Even though life is hard, she insists on her love with Liu Zhixun.
She was repeatedly placed under house arrest and arrested by Kuomintang reactionaries, but she always insisted on fighting against the enemy, raised martyrs and orphans under extremely difficult circumstances and never gave up. ...
It is because of the tragic experience of losing their lover that Chairman Mao and Li Shuyi can better understand each other and appreciate each other's pain and sorrow.
In the following years, although Chairman Mao and Li Shuyi embarked on different life paths, they did not forget each other. ...
After the founding of New China, Li Shuyi was very excited. He wrote to Chairman Mao to congratulate him on leading the people of China to win the victory of reversing Gankun, and told Chairman Mao about the sacrifice of Yang Kaihui martyrs and his life for more than 20 years. By the way, he asked her husband about the situation.
Chairman Mao was very excited after receiving the letter, and soon wrote back to her personally. In the letter, Chairman Mao said affectionately:
As can be seen from this letter, Chairman Mao is very concerned about Li Shuyi's life, and he also has deep admiration and praise for raising orphans.
Although she had been separated from her husband for more than 20 years, she was psychologically prepared, but Li Shuyi was still heartbroken at the news that Chairman Mao finally confirmed that her husband was dead.
How many days and nights, how many stormy nights, she has been giving herself hope that her husband will come back, and now this hope is still dashed. She knows that reuniting with her husband has always been her dream, and now it is time to wake up.
When she learned that her husband was a martyr and died for the revolution, she was deeply honored and proud of him. Especially after seeing the praise and mourning for Liu Zhixun, the pain in her heart gradually healed.
Times have changed, things have changed, but I miss my deceased relatives and friends more and more.
In countless days and nights, Li Shuyi often dreamed that her dead husband was in rags and covered in blood. Every time she wakes up from a dream, her pillow will be wet with tears. Under this kind of worry, she wrote "Meng Bodhisattva":
Besides her husband, Li Shuyi also misses her good friend Yang Kaihui very much. Every time I think about the last time I saw her in prison, my mood will always be restless for a long time. ...
1957 1, Mao Zedong's 18 poem was first published in the first issue of Poetry magazine. As soon as Li Shu, a teacher in Changsha, saw these poems, he liked them very much and read them again and again. Naturally, she also thought of her old friend Yang Kaihui.
She remembers that Chairman Mao wrote a love poem to Yang Kaihui at that time, and Yang Kaihui quietly read it to her, hoping that she wouldn't say anything.
Li Shuyi really did what she promised and said nothing about it, but now she only remembers the first few words of the poem.
Because he missed his old friend, Li Shuyi couldn't help writing a letter to Chairman Mao, asking for the whole poem, and attaching his book "Man Jing Meng Bodhisattva", asking Chairman Mao to correct me.
Chairman Mao was very excited when he received the letter. He still remembers the time with Yang Kaihui and was moved by Li Shuyi's true feelings.
This letter struck a soft spot in Chairman Mao's heart. Before I finished reading it, I felt deep love and tears filled my eyes. Despite his busy work, he also wrote a four-page reply:
At the same time, Chairman Mao also wrote the famous "Flowers Answer Li Shuyi Recently" in his letter:
Chairman Mao knew that Li Shuyi was Yang Kaihui's closest friend before his death. He also thanked Li Shu and his brother Mao Anying for taking care of him. They were close friends themselves.
So Chairman Mao wrote this letter seriously. He didn't give Li Shuyi the original "Young Beauty" in those days, but he wrote this sad and mournful work today with a distant state of mind and a yearning for Yang Kaihui.
Yes, decades have passed, but Chairman Mao's feelings for Yang Kaihui were not expressed by the song "Beauty on the Pillow".
Li Shuyi was very excited after receiving the letter. She recited the first word written by Chairman Mao in the classroom with the applause of her classmates.
With the approval of Chairman Mao, the word "Die Lian Hua" was first published in the New Year's Day special issue of Hunan Normal University (1958). Since then, Wen Wei Po, People's Daily, Poetry Magazine and other newspapers have published this word, which has also spread widely abroad. Since then, songs and dances about this word have also appeared one after another. ...
Many years later, when Li Shuyi recalled this incident, she once said with deep affection: "I remembered my relatives who died in the rumor. The chairman replied that I was a martyr and cried with joy because of the victory of the people's revolution. The chairman's words reflected the noble integrity and great revolutionary spirit of the martyrs. The chairman knows them. "
Chairman Mao also mentioned in his letter that Li Shu's generation should go to Yang Kaihui's grave:
In accordance with Chairman Mao's wishes, Li Shuyi and Yang Kaihui's sister-in-law Yang Kaizhi and Li Chongde came to the tomb of Yang Kaihui martyrs on July 10 to present flowers and fragrant fruits.
Li Shuyi also tearfully read out his own eulogy:
Afterwards, Li Shuyi kept the sacrifice and eulogy to Yang Kaihui in mind and reported to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao wrote back specifically for this purpose:
In the letter, Li Shuyi didn't want to use the money that Chairman Mao gave Li Shuyi, but took it with him as a souvenir.
1June, 959, Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan, his hometown. During his stay in Changsha, Chairman Mao specially met with Li Shuyi. He also introduced Li Shuyi to the leaders present: "She is Li Shuyi, a good friend of Caive. The year before last, she sent me a letter written by Liu Zhixun, and I wrote the word "Recent Flowers" with her, which completely met her meaning. "
Mao Zedong also said to Cheng Qian, then president of Hunan Province, "Do you know her? Her name is Mr. Wang's daughter. Mr Xiao Yong is my teacher. Her father-in-law, Mr. Liu, is also a freak. In the old society, I was not an official and played a good fist. "
After the meeting, Chairman Mao was very happy. He took a photo with Li Shuyi and invited her to dinner.
During the dinner, accompanied by Chairman Mao, he talked with Li Shuyi. After dinner, Chairman Mao accompanied Li Shu to visit xiang opera.
Chairman Mao's interview made it difficult for Li Shuyi to calm down. Many things in the past have been reappearing in her mind and lingering.
Li Shuyi was very sad to think that her husband and friends died so early that they would never see the day when the revolution won.
So, she wrote another letter to Chairman Mao, and put forward her own request: I hope I can board the Tiananmen Gate to watch the ceremony this National Day.
This request is for myself and for the martyrs who died. She just wants to stand on high and see the mountains and rivers for her dead husband and best friend.
Maybe when she goes to worship again in the future, she can tell them what the world is like now ...
Soon, Chairman Mao wrote a letter to Li Shuyi, which was the last letter that Chairman Mao wrote to Li Shuyi in his life:
Chairman Mao is a principled man, who does not delay his official duties because of friendship, does not abandon justice because of feelings, and abides by the boundaries between public and private, as can be seen from this letter.
Privately, Li Shuyi is a good friend of himself and Yang Kaihui; In public, Li Shuyi is a martyr's family and should be taken care of.
Although this embarrassed Chairman Mao, he still promised to ask for her, which shows Chairman Mao's attention and respect for Li Shuyi.
In the end, Li Shuyi boarded the Tiananmen Gate as she wished, attended the National Day ceremony as she wished, and watched the grand occasion of her husband and best friend as she wished. ...
Li Shuyi was very excited when he saw his good friend Chairman Mao at the gate of Tiananmen Square.
In the Great Hall of the People, Li Shuyi also watched the large-scale dance drama The Death of Hualian. Li Shu said excitedly: "The images of martyrs such as Yang Kaihui and Liu Zhixun should be put on the stage, but if you put me together, they will be guilty."
After this meeting, Li Shuyi has been looking forward to seeing Chairman Mao again, and her heart is full of longing and expectation. It's just that this opportunity has never come. ...
In fact, Chairman Mao has always been concerned about Li Shuyi's life. As early as the Yan 'an period, Chairman Mao asked people to inquire about the living conditions of Li Shuyi's mother and son in Changsha.
Shortly after the founding of New China, Chairman Mao asked his eldest son Mao Anying to go to Li Shuyi.
On one occasion, Li Shuyi didn't work for half a year because of illness. Chairman Mao is very worried. He specially asked Yang Kaihui's brother Yang Kaizhi to visit him, and asked the staff around him to ask whether life in Li Shuyi was difficult.
After Li Shuyi moved from Hunan to Beijing, Chairman Mao sent Wang Hairong to meet him.
In this regard, Li Shuyi was deeply touched. As a national leader, Chairman Mao is busy with his work, but he never forgets to care about her, a former comrade-in-arms, which makes her very moved and sincerely thanks Chairman Mao for his care.
Chairman Mao's concern also made Li Shuyi deeply understand that Yang Kaihui, his best friend, didn't see the wrong person, let alone marry the wrong person.
1September 9, 976, Mao Zedong passed away.
Li Shuyi was very sad to hear the bad news. She went to the Great Hall of the People to pay tribute to Chairman Mao's remains and bid her last farewell to this old friend who had known each other for half a century.
She read Chairman Mao's personal letter, savored the connotation of "we are the same generation, not the relationship between the elders and the younger generation", and read the poem "I lost my pride, Yang Jun lost my willow ..." Over and over again, tears could not help but swish down. ...
She framed Chairman Mao's Answer to Li Shuyi and hung it respectfully on the front wall of the living room. ...
From then on, Li Shuyi lived with thoughts of her husband and close friends and gratitude to Chairman Mao until Li Shuyi died in June.
Her death also ended the legend that lasted for half a century, and she finally had the opportunity to meet her husband and best friend who had missed her life.
Her love for her husband is unforgettable, and she will never forget her friendship with her best friend Yang Kaihui with her life. Therefore, she got in touch with Chairman Mao and got the famous Answer to Li Shuyi.
Her life is worth remembering, but it can't be forgotten at the same time. We always believe that although Chairman Mao and Li Shuyi have left, Dead Hua Lian Answers Li Shuyi will be sung forever. ...
