WI:Mao Anying lives?

Mao Anying was Mao Zedong's only son who was either was dead or seriously disturbed. He was killed in the Korean War by U.S forces. Apparently, Anying may have had disagreements with his father over the Soviets, but I am unsure what kind of role he would play during the Cold War if he lived.​
 
Probably not much tbh, I suppose it's possible he could've been held up as a Chinese War Hero if he survived the Korean War and be the model son for all Chinese boys to look up to under Mao's reign and maybe even given a high command post in the Army, but after Mao's death he probably would be sidelined by his successors and die in obscurity.
