In Wu Shaozu's home, three special photos were collected by Wu Shaozu. The photos were taken in different historical periods, among which the main figure was Chairman Mao, and Wu Shaozu's grandfather, his father and Wu Shaozu all took photos with him. Whenever Wu Shaozu stares at these three photos, his thoughts fly to the distant past, which is a beautiful and unforgettable past. In July 2007, when Wu Shaozu's eldest son came back from his hometown in leiyang city, Hengyang City, he brought a photo, which was given by Wu Shaozu's little uncle. The photo was taken by some alumni of Hunan First Normal School in Changsha in the early summer of 19 19. There are 2 1 person in the photo. The first row sits on the ground, the second row sits on a stool, and the third row stands. The second from the right in the first row is Wu Ruchun, the grandfather of Wu Shaozu, and the third from the left in the second row is Mao Zedong who has just returned to Changsha, Hunan via Shanghai. According to Wu Shaozu's little uncle, this photo used to be in Leiyang's hometown. 1959 After Grandpa Wu Shaozu died, all three uncles of Wu Shaozu went out to go to school, work or join the army, and their mother (that is, Wu Shaozu's grandmother) also left home, so their house was rented out to others. At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, my family was afraid of having anything to do with the "establishment", so they burned all the photos of my family. The photos brought back this time were recently found in a newly published magazine. He reprinted it and brought it back by Wu Shaozu's son.

Wu Shaozu's grandfather was born in 1878, older than Chairman Mao 15 years old. He used to be a teacher in a private school in his hometown. In order to adapt to social changes, 19 13 went to Changsha No.1 Normal University, in the same grade as Chairman Mao. At that time, Chairman Mao was only 20 years old, in the prime of life, making many friends and aspiring to serve the country. My grandfather is 35 years old. Although he had a good relationship with Chairman Mao, who called him "Hercules Wu", he had an old mother, a wife and children at home, so he didn't follow Chairman Mao to participate in the revolution, which became his lifelong regret.

After liberation, he wrote a letter to Chairman Mao, which contained a poem, two of which were "It is impossible to be an EMU without taking the Long March". He also talked about the difficulties of life at home: "The cloud only saved me a glass of water, and a glass of water could not save the salary of the car." At that time, Chairman Mao wrote a letter to my grandfather, which was written on Xuan paper stationery with a brush. From the point of view of calligraphy, it is a good cursive calligraphy work. In his letter, Chairman Mao expressed deep concern about the "difficulties" of Grandpa Wu Shaozu's family, and sent an old coin of 3 million yuan at that time to "help him with a glass of water. If it is urgent, please continue to inform him". Wu Shaozu listened to his father Wu Yunfu's words. When visiting relatives during the Spring Festival in 1955, Chairman Mao met him and asked, "Why don't you send money home?" In fact, the supply system was implemented at that time, and Wu Shao's grandparents' allowance was not much, but he still sent 25 yuan to his hometown in Hunan every month.

A few days ago, Wu Shaozu saw the TV series "Just Classmates and Teenagers" on CCTV, which was about Chairman Mao's situation in Changsha No.1 Normal School. Although there is no such person as my grandfather, it shows the revolutionary spirit and activities of Comrade Mao Zedong at that time. Now I am very happy to get this photo of Chairman Mao and Grandpa Wu Shaozu at the party. Wu Shaozu's father Wu Yunfu was born in 1904. With the encouragement of Grandpa Wu Shaozu, 1920 was admitted to Hengyang Hunan Third Normal University, and schooling was free. In this school, Wu Shaozu's father began to come into contact with some books promoting European revolutionary ideas. Comrade Mao Zedong gave a report on socialism to Hunan Third Division in Hengyang. Wu Shaozu's father was very educated after hearing this, and he joined the Socialist Youth League the next year. 1925 After graduation, he returned to Leiyang County as a teacher and participated in the revolutionary activities in the county. 1926 joined the party in April.

Being a teacher earned 20 yuan a month, but at that time, the party organization needed someone to do the party work. At that time, the head of the Party organization in Leiyang County said to Wu Shaozu's father, "Do you want to be a party member or a teacher? If you want to be party member, you will quit your teacher. " As a result, Wu Shaozu's father resigned as a teacher and specialized in party affairs. Later, he participated in 1927 Autumn Harvest Uprising and 1928 Southern Hunan Uprising. 1930 was sent by the party organization to Shanghai Teke No.4 Team to study radio communication technology, 193 1 was sent to Gannan to participate in the creation of the Central Red Army Radio Station at the beginning of the year. At that time, Wu Shaozu's father worked in the headquarters of the Central Red Army and often saw Chairman Mao. When Chairman Mao learned that Wu Shaozu's father was Wu Ruchun, he said, "Wu Ruchun's son has also come to participate in the revolution!"

Wu Shaozu's father worked in the Party Central Committee from 193 1 to 1950, but there was never a photo of him and Chairman Mao at home, which became my family's regret. In 2003, when preparing to commemorate the anniversary of Chairman Mao's birthday 1 10, the the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Working Committee where I worked was going to hold a photo exhibition. One day, Comrade Hou Bo, who specially took photos of Chairman Mao in the early days of liberation, suddenly said to a staff member who helped organize the photos: "This is a photo of Secretary Wu's father and Chairman Mao. Please develop it quickly and give it to Secretary Wu. " So I got a photo of Chairman Mao shaking hands with his father. From the photo, Chairman Mao was meeting with a representative of a conference, and he was holding my father's hand and talking to him. I especially cherish it, and it has been hung in a conspicuous position in my living room. Another photo is a photo of Wu Shaozu and Chairman Mao. This photo was taken in 1946 65438+ 10/Wang Jiaping, Yan 'an, where the Central Military Commission is located. Wu Shaozu was only 6 years old at that time. There are 33 people in the photo, and now 22 people are roughly identified. Wu Shaozu's parents and his father-in-law were also on it. Wu Shaozu just stood in front of Chairman Mao. In July 2004, this photo was used in the exhibition "Yan 'an Spirit Shines Forever" in the Military Museum, but the time and place of the photo were wrong at that time. Wu Shaozu proposed to the exhibition organizers that they picked it up and gave it to Wu Shaozu. So Wu Shaozu hung Wu Shaozu on the wall of Wu Shaozu's living room.

In this way, Wu Shaozu's family has three very precious photos: one is a photo of Grandpa Wu Shaozu and Chairman Mao, the other is a photo of Wu Shaozu's father and Chairman Mao, and the other is a photo of Wu Shaozu and Chairman Mao. Wu Shaozu thinks that this reflects the history of China's revolutionary struggle from one angle.

Wu Shaozu has a special reverence for Chairman Mao. Wu Shaozu thinks that he is not only a great thinker, strategist and revolutionary, but also a great writer, artist and athlete. Wu Shaozu said that he was an athlete. Chairman Mao published Sports Research 19 17 in the April issue of New Youth magazine. This article is full of material first thought, dialectical thought and China culture. It was not until more than 70 years later that Wu Shaozu became the director of the State Sports Commission. The main point of this article was my basic guiding ideology, and Chairman Mao was just 24 years old when he wrote this article.
