November 25, 1950Mao Zedongeldest sonMao AnyingWas bombed to death on the Korean battlefield. However, nearly 40 days after he was killed,Zhou EnlaiOnly then was he allowed to send the telegram announcing the death to Mao Zedong, and attached a letter to Mao and Jiang Qing. For Zhou EnlaiWeirdThis move has been subject to much discussion and speculation from the outside world.
According to records, on the day Mao Anying was killed in the bombing, Peng Dehuai immediately called the Military Commission to “Bing Gao (Gang) and Congratulate (Jin Nian)” to inform the news and briefly describe the process of the bombing. Peng Dian’s original text is as follows:
“We entered the air-raid shelter at 7 o’clock today. Mao Anying and three staff officers were in the house. At 11 o’clock, when four enemy planes passed by, the four of them had come out. After the enemy planes passed, the four of them returned to the house, and suddenly four more enemy planes came Nearly a hundred incendiary bombs were dropped, hitting the house. Two staff officers ran out at that time, but Mao Anying and Gao Ruixin were burned to death at 16:00 on the 25th.
Peng’s call to “congratulate the Military Commission” instead of calling Mao Zedong was considered by the outside world to be an attempt to handle Mao Anying’s death according to official procedures.
It is reported that after receiving the telegram, Ye Zilong, director of the Central Secretariat, “was not sure what to do with it,” so he handed the telegram to Zhou Enlai.
After Zhou En read the telegram, he commented on the telegram: “Liu (Shaoqi), Zhu (De): Because the chairman has been in poor health for the past two days, I did not show it to him.”
It was not until nearly 40 days later, on January 2, 1951, that Zhou Enlai asked Ye Zilong to deliver Peng Dehuai’s telegram to Mao Zedong.
Ye Zilong described the scene at that time in “Yi Zilong’s Memoirs”, saying that he walked into Mao Zedong’s office with a telegram, and Mao was reading a newspaper on the sofa at the time. Ye Zilong whispered “Chairman” and then handed the telegram to him…
“Mao read the brief telegram for three or four minutes, with his head buried deep in his head. When he raised his head, I saw that he had no tears or any expression, but his face was very ugly.”

It is reported that Zhou Enlai also attached a letter to Mao Zedong and Jiang Qing.
Zhou said in the letter: “Comrade Mao Anying’s sacrifice is glorious. At that time, because you all had a cold, I did not send this telegram for reading, but I sent it to Comrade Shaoqi for reading. Before and after this incident, I contacted the Telegraph Department The party committee and Peng asked them to pay serious attention to the safety issues of the command organization. People who came back from the front often mentioned this matter.”
There are two major doubts about Zhou Enlai’s letters: First, a cold is not a serious illness, and it is impossible for medical staff to let Mao Zedong catch a cold for nearly 40 days. According to the “Chronology”, Mao Zedong also dealt with other matters normally and continuously during these nearly 40 days; secondly, Zhou considered nearly 40 days before delivering the telegram to Mao Zedong, which was undoubtedly the result of careful consideration, but the letter emphasized that “in Before and after this incident, I contacted the Party Committee of the Telegraph Department and Peng, asking them to pay serious attention to the safety of the command organization.” This seemed to imply that the responsibility for Mao Anying’s death was placed on Peng Dehuai.
A former Zhongnanhai agent in his seventies once disclosed Mao Zedong’s hereditary plan to overseas media: Mao initially placed his hopes and bets on his only eldest son who was not demented, Mao Anying. He sent Mao Anying to participate in the Korean War in order to gain gold and accumulate political power. Capital, so you can quickly become a successor. However, fate is not as good as fate. Mao Anying was killed by a U.S. military plane during the Korean War, and Mao’s first step in the hereditary plan was shattered.
The former agent also revealed that Mao Zedong had done too many evil things and that many people had deserted him. In fact, only Peng Dehuai was loyal to Mao. The others shouted long live to his face and scolded Mao behind his back. However, Mao Zedong finally took action on Peng Dehuai.
There is also analysis from the outside world that an important reason why Mao Zedong defeated Peng Dehuai at the Lushan Conference was to avenge Mao Anying’s death in a bombing, because he blamed Peng Dehuai for the failure of his hereditary plan.
