25 Nov 1950 Korean War :
Exactly how Anying came to be stationed in Korea is clouded. Most likely the unit he led was ordered there. Jiang Qing urged Mao not to let his son go. But Mao wanted no special treatment for his children. Anying went to Korea with a headquarters unit in October 1950. Headquarters had been set up in an old gold-mining settlement. Its old caves provided excellent protection from American fighter-bombers. That day the weather was so fine that everyone had come out to enjoy the sunshine. Then it happened. An American fighter-bomber swooped over the site, machine guns going, strafing from a low level, and leaving the Chinese no time to take cover. Casualties were not great, but one of the three officers killed was Mao Anying. Mao refused to have his son's body returned to China. Mao made no public expression about his son's death and Anying's death was kept secret for years. Peng Dehuai did not tell Mao Zedong of his son's death for weeks in fear of Mao's reaction.
