He Zizhen or Ho Tzu-chen (September 1909 ??April 19, 1984) was married to Mao from May 1928 to 1939. She was the mother of Mao Anhong, Li Min, and four other children.

The Jinggang Mountains are known as the birthplace of the Chinese Red Army, predecessor of the People's Liberation Army and the 'cradle of the Chinese revolution'. After the Kuomintang (KMT) turned against the Communist Party during the April 12 Incident, the Communists either went underground or fled to the countryside. Following the unsuccessful Autumn Harvest Uprising in Changsha, Mao Zedong led his 1,000 remaining men here, setting up his first peasant soviet.
