Eldest son of 毛泽东 and 杨开慧. After years in the Soviet Union he served as a Russian interpreter at the Chinese People's Volunteers' headquarters in Korea, where he died at 28 and is buried.
In Korea he worked under a cover name, 刘秘书, 'Secretary Liu', and few people knew whose son he was. The napalm left his body unrecognisable; it was identified by the remains of his Soviet watch.
