According to the comprehensive report of the US Chinese Network, a family in California recently welcomed a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and what is rare is that they were born in different years.

According to Natividad Medical Center, twins born in different years are extremely rare, with an estimated probability of one in 2 million.
Erin is also the hospital's first baby in 2022, weighing 5 pounds 14 ounces at birth, while Alfre weighed 6 pounds 1 ounces.
Maderica said in a statement: "It's incredible that they are twins with different birthdays. She (Erin) was born in the middle of the night, which surprised and delighted me at the same time. ”
According to the hospital, Alfredo and Erin have two older sisters and an older brother. Madeleja told the hospital that her eldest son was "excited" that he would have a younger brother.
Dr Ana Abril Arias, who was in charge of delivering the babies, said: "It was definitely the most memorable one of my career. It's definitely a pleasure to help these little ones be born safely in 2021 and 2022. It's great to start the New Year in this way!"
