Also called "Sister-in-law Sun": Nanny, who witnessed Yang Kaihui's heroic sacrifice.

Chen Yuying was born in a poor peasant family in Batang, Ningxiang County, and worked as a nanny in Mao Zedong and Yang Kaihui.

192665438+In February, Mao Zedong's eldest son An Ying was 4 years old, his second son An Qing was 2 years old, and his third son was also pregnant with Yang Kaihui. Mao Zedong is busy with the revolutionary cause, and the family is in urgent need of a nanny to take care of the children.

Chen Yuying was born in poverty, and was sold as a child bride by her parents at an early age. At the age of 10, she was arranged to go out to help.

At the age of 30, she was introduced to the chairman's house. After learning about her family, Mao Zedong said with a warm smile, "You helped us. We are neck and neck. We are friends." Before that, Chen Yuying worked as a nanny in other families for more than ten years. All the "masters" are high above her, bossing her around and turning to bow to those powerful people outside. Chen Yuying felt that the Mao Zedong family seemed different from them. Eyes also became brighter, so Chen Yuying, who lacked love since childhood, stayed.

Her husband's surname is Sun. She was 30 years old when she came, so everyone called her "Sister-in-law Sun".

When she first arrived, Mao Zedong guessed that she couldn't read, so she wrote down her name and address on a piece of cloth and hung it on a button so that she could ask the way.

1927, Sun Sao came to Wuchang with her family. In Wuchang, Mao Zedong was busy with the revolutionary movement day and night, having meetings with revolutionary comrades during the day and writing reports at night. Even three meals are mostly eaten at a big round table with revolutionary comrades. Yang Kaihui helps Mao Zedong copy and organize materials, often until midnight. Sun Sister-in-law later recalled: "During the period from Changsha Garden to Wuchang, I wrote a wonderful book, Investigation Report on Hunan Peasant Movement."

Mao Zedong is very kind to her. Mao Zedong usually leads a simple life, paying no attention to food and clothes. At that time, Mao Zedong only had a white shirt, so he couldn't wash it casually, so he had to tidy it himself. On one occasion, Sun Sister-in-law had just finished washing clothes and had not yet done it. She said that there was a meeting and she wanted to wear a white shirt. She asked where she couldn't find it. This embarrassed sister-in-law Sun. Sun sister-in-law was sweating profusely, thinking that she would not be driven out because of this, so she lost her "rice bowl". Mao Zedong grinned and said nothing, and went out with an old gray cloth. That smile seems so warm to Sun Sister-in-law. Warm tears flowed down, and there was no superfluous language. Sister-in-law Sun smiled and played with the three Mao brothers.

At that time, Mao Zedong was not the chairman, but Chen Yuying felt that he was better than the chairman.

In fact, at first, Sun Sister-in-law's salary was five yuan a month. At that time, Yang Kaihui was a little embarrassed. Later, Sister-in-law Sun learned about the situation at home, and the Mao family treated her like a relative. Sister-in-law Sun offered not to be paid.

"Big feet, short hair is so energetic!" Yang Kaihui told Sun Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Sun was poor when she was a child. Later, because long hair was inconvenient for work, she cut it into short hair. This was unacceptable in the society at that time, and most of Sun Sister-in-law's former employers discriminated against her. Yang Kaihui, on the other hand, said that foot-binding braiding was a bad habit of cannibalism in ancient feudal society, which oppressed people's thoughts. We should get rid of these bad habits and the people should be equal! Sun Sister-in-law doesn't understand, but she thinks there is bright light in Yang Kaihui's eyes. Under that kind of light, it seems that everyone has no foot binding or braids, and they all show a heartfelt smile, which is warm and desirable. Sister-in-law Sun smiled gratefully and replied happily: Indeed!

On another occasion, Sun Sister-in-law accidentally broke the hot water bottle at home, flushed with anxiety and wanted to cry. Yang Kaihui smiled and comforted after seeing it: "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come." . In fact, the Mao family's economic situation was already very bad, so Yang Kaihui had to scrimp and save and try to buy a new hot water kettle.

At that time, Mao Zedong was a pioneer of the revolution, so his family naturally became a place where revolutionary comrades "gathered". Sister-in-law Sun sat outside the door and poured them water and tea every once in a while. In the room, the words were fierce and Fang Qiu was reprimanded. From time to time came the hearty laughter of revolutionaries. Although Sun Sister-in-law doesn't understand, she somehow has more confidence and hope for the future. After the party, I often ask my sister-in-law Sun to go out and buy some steamed buns to "entertain" my friends. Yang Kaihui always reminds her with a smile: "Sister Sun, don't forget to buy one for yourself!"

At that time, Yang Kaihui was as gentle as her mother, and I was so happy. Sister-in-law Sun thinks so.

1930101October 24th, the autumn wind was bleak, the leaves rustled on both sides of the street, and the sky was always gloomy. Mao Zedong's house was surrounded by a group of people. The leader knocked on the door. When Yang Kaihui opened the door, he shook his hand and said faintly, "What can I do for you?"

"Nothing, please go to Changsha."

Mao Anying was sleepy, but said firmly, "No, no! My mother is a good person and won't go anywhere! " The leader said viciously, "Take this small * * * production party away". Yang Kaihui bitterly scolded: "If you want to arrest me, why do you want to arrest my child?"

Sister-in-law Sun hurried out when she heard the noise, but she was tied up as soon as she came out. At this time, Mao Zedong is still carrying out revolutionary movement in Jinggangshan.

Yang Kaihui: This is just my nanny.

The enemy said: this nanny is unusual, so we must catch it!

Sun sister-in-law doesn't care about herself at all. She just looked at the arrested child and Yang Kaihui, and felt bad in her heart.

Later in prison, Yang Kaihui was tortured, but the words "I don't know" were still in her mouth. Before Yang Kaihui's execution, Sun Sister-in-law shouted "Kill me if you want", but the thieves ignored her. The children's cries and Yang Kaihui's strong brand are printed in Sun Sister-in-law's heart. No matter how she was tortured later, Sun Sister-in-law learned the same "ignorance" as Yang Kaihui.

Fortunately, they were finally released and their children went to Datong kindergarten. Sister-in-law Sun was closely watched. Although she came out, she couldn't go back. In desperation, Sun Sister-in-law can only go back to her hometown. In her hometown, Sun Sister-in-law always believed Yang Kaihui's words that "the revolution will be successful, and this kind of day will not last long."

When she heard that the children's Datong kindergarten was dissolved, she was utterly confused and worried, but there was nothing she could do. After the founding of New China, she was as ecstatic as a child when she heard that Mao Zedong had won the battle.

At 1950, Sun Sister-in-law saw Mao. "For 20 years, kishida fumio has been very affectionate to me and very concerned about my life ..." Chen Yuying was very excited. Soon, Mao wrote a long letter, saying that the acting chairman said hello to kishida fumio.

1957, Sun Sister-in-law saw it for the first time after many years. "When I met Chairman Mao, I shook hands with him and talked for a long time." Chen Yuying excitedly recalled that later, when Sun Sister-in-law and Mao Zedong talked about kishida fumio and Kaihui, Sun Sister-in-law was in tears, and Chairman Mao said in a relaxed tone that kishida fumio was a good boy and Kaihui was a good comrade. Sister-in-law Sun followed the family for many years. Can he not know Mao Zedong's temper? She knew that this was Mao Zedong comforting her, fearing that she would blame herself too much. Thinking of Sun Sister-in-law's tears.

In Beijing, I had lunch with my sister-in-law. When Sun Sister-in-law said goodbye to her hometown, she also wrote the three characters "Mao Zedong" in her notebook. Since then, Chairman Mao has often written to his grandson in spite of his busy schedule, and has sponsored his daughter to study many times. Grandmother was so grateful that she called herself the happiest person in the world.

1982, Sun Sister-in-law said to her daughter before she died, "I'm going to see Kaihui and ..."
