Soong Ching Ling never regarded Li Yan 'e as a "servant", but regarded her as a member of the family. Li Yan 'e is nearly 20 years younger than Soong Ching Ling, but she has always been called "Sister Li". When eating, Soong Ching Ling sat at the same table with her, and let her sit in the host's position, while herself sat in the side seat. Li Yan 'e is fat, and Soong Ching Ling made a low bed for her to rest.
After liberation, Soong Ching Ling lived in Beijing most of the time. In order to soothe Li Yan 'e's thoughts, Soong Ching Ling sent her photos of herself and the main building of her Beijing apartment. Li Yan 'e put the photos in her room so that she can see them at any time. Once Li Yan 'e was injured, and Soong Ching Ling was very worried. She specially instructed the comrades in Shanghai to pay close attention to Li Yane's recovery and made a special trip to Shanghai to visit.
Soong Ching Ling is very thoughtful and meticulous about Li Yane. She often gives small gifts to employees in Shanghai apartments. Every time, she always prepares some hometown delicacies such as ham and Cantonese sausage for Li Yane.
197 1 year 1 1 On the 8th of May, Soong Ching Ling wrote a letter to Zhou Hekang, an apartment manager in Shanghai, saying, "Now I entrust you with one thing: 10 calendar is Li Yan 'e's birthday. She has served in our office for nearly 40 years, and I should show my respect for her loyal work. Please buy her a cooked big oil hen, 8 Jin of apples and 2 Jin of bananas (together with this greeting card) on the 9th. Thank you! "
1979, Li Yan 'e suffered from uterine cancer. Soong Ching Ling is very anxious. She personally took her from Shanghai to Beijing. She not only asked people to take care of her life, but also asked the staff around her to take care of Li Yane like her.
She also invited the best doctor to treat Li Yane. When the doctor confirmed that her cancer had reached the advanced stage, Soong Ching Ling was very sad. She suppressed her grief and took time out to chat with Li Yane as much as possible to alleviate her pain. There were few vegetables in Beijing at that time. She was afraid that Li Yane wouldn't like it, so she asked someone to try to buy more fresh broad beans to supplement it. In order to increase nutrition, Soong Ching Ling specially told Li Yane to eat chicken and drink chicken soup every day.
For Li Yane, who was seriously ill, Soong Ching Ling felt very heavy. She once wrote to Ma Hyde and said, "My dear housekeeper is suffering from a terrible disease, which makes me very upset. She has been with me for 50 years. She is so loyal and my most trusted friend. I'm worried that she will die soon ... she's lying in bed, and she doesn't know what's torturing her! I'm so sad, get carried away ... "
The next day, she wrote to Epstein again: "In recent days, Sister Li (my partner and housekeeper for more than 50 years) was seriously ill, and I was extremely uneasy. She is not only my assistant, but also better than my relatives ... "
If I hadn't read these letters with my own eyes, it's hard to imagine that Soong Ching Ling, who had never been afraid or flinched in the face of any great pressure, would show such strong sadness to Li Yane.
198 1 February, the news of Li Yan 'e's death came from anxiety, and Soong Ching Ling burst into tears. When Li Yan 'e's urn was sent to Soong Ching Ling's residence, she greeted it, pressed her face tightly against the urn, kept touching and kissing, and shed tears. ...
On the day Li Yan 'e's ashes were transferred to Shanghai, Soong Ching Ling supported the sick body, personally took the urn out of her bedroom and staggered upstairs to the car at the door. Afterwards, she wrote to a friend and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that my dear housekeeper and companion Li Yan 'e ... died of cancer ... My poor Yan 'e was buried in Shanghai a few days ago accompanied by several trusted friends. Her ashes will be buried in Song Cemetery. When I die, I will rest in peace with my loyal companion. "
For Li Yan 'e's funeral, Soong Ching Ling specially wrote to the secretary, saying, "I have always promised to let Sister Li's ashes be buried at my parents' grave and set up a monument for her. I will be buried there in the future. And asked: "tombstone" is the same as that made by sister Li. "To this end, she also drew a sketch.
