It is said that the elderly have no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, and the love of parents for their children is always selfless and does not ask for anything in return, while there are very few children who can serve in front of the bed when their parents are sick.
A mother in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, put her low-IQ, delirious son Peng Weiqing in her own iron cage for 45 years, took care of him without complaint, and worried about her son's situation in her old age. How did Peng Weiqing live in the iron cage over the years, and where should Peng Weiqing go when his mother was older?
An accident that changes the whole family
Peng Weiqing's family originally lived abroad, his father's name was Peng Jing, his mother's name was Peng Waimei, and his father Peng Jing considered that his wife's family and friends were in China, and it was usually difficult for his wife to meet with them, so after consulting with his wife, he returned to his hometown Henan.
Both people work in the factory, the work is very stable, Peng Waimei also gave birth to 3 thousand gold for her husband, Peng Carefully has been looking forward to having a son to inherit the incense, so he has another fourth child, that is, Peng Weiqing.
After Peng Weiqing was born in 1964, the family was very happy, and as the only boy in the family, he was also very pampered. The husband and wife support 4 children with a meager salary, although not very rich, but the family is happy and harmonious, but also happy to be poor.
But in 1966, an accident that happened to Peng Weiqing, a 2-year-old baby, plunged the whole family into endless darkness.
One day Peng Weiqing suddenly had a fever, the medical level at that time was no better than now, there was a headache and brain fever was basically directly hard, or it was to use some older generation of soil methods. Mother Peng Waimei followed the old method, put the green onion in water to boil, and then used the water soaked in the green onion to wipe Peng Weiqing's body, the mother felt that the previous daughters had a fever in this way, this time should also work. However, until the next day, Peng Weiqing was still in a coma, his whole small face was burning red, and he was still muttering something in his mouth, and the father immediately took his son to the hospital without hesitation.

However, the couple got an unacceptable news in the hospital, that is, their son Peng Weiqing suffered from encephalitis, and because it was sent too late, there was no chance of reversal, and Peng Weiqing's intellectual development would always stay at 1 year old.
Peng Weiqing's parents felt that the sky was about to fall, and they were also very remorseful, and they should not take their son to the hospital in order to save money, otherwise they would not miss the opportunity to rescue. But things have happened, it is too late to say anything, the husband and wife have been taking good care of their son after bringing them home, originally every day to work is already very tired, but after work to pay a huge amount of energy to take care of their son, the husband and wife feel unprecedented fatigue.
Peng Jing and Peng Waimei have been taking their sons to seek medical treatment in various places, hoping that a miracle can happen, but in the end, their son's illness has not only not been cured, but the savings they have saved so hard have almost been spent. And because the couple put too much energy into their son, the three daughters were ignored, and they could only learn to take care of themselves sensibly.
After the final fruitless search, Peng Jing and Peng Waimei had to pin all their hopes on The Lord, thinking of doing their best and obeying the destiny of heaven, maybe when their sons grow up a little, their condition will improve!
Caged in heaven and earth, struggling
In the blink of an eye, Peng Weiqing has grown to a teenager, but unlike his parents' expectations, Peng Weiqing's condition not only shows no signs of improvement but also becomes more and more serious. As a teenager, Peng Weiqing simply could not walk upright like a normal child, walking slowly, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and from time to time he fell to the ground, and his body was full of bruises caused by bumps. Peng Weiqing not only has no way to take care of himself in life, but the whole person is like a madman, constantly bullying his sister at home, and treating the neighbors around him outside is also very rude and rude.
Some people are walking on the road with good manners, Peng Weiqing rushed up and grabbed people and did not let go, slowly, the neighbors nearby avoided Peng Weiqing, in their eyes Peng Weiqing's behavior was completely like a madman. Peng Weiqing not only hurt others when he fell ill, but sometimes he was also ruthless to himself.
Once, her mother Peng Waimei saw Peng Weiqing actually holding a fruit knife and scratching her arm, and the blood flowed, but Peng Weiqing felt like she couldn't feel pain. After this incident, the father and mother had the idea of locking Peng Weiqing up, on the one hand, so that he would no longer disturb others, and on the other hand, it could prevent him from hurting himself.
Therefore, the couple made a wooden cage in their own house and locked Peng Weiqing in it. Every child is a continuation of the parent's life, a treasure held in the palm of the parent's hand. Putting their sons in cages like animals, Peng Jing and Peng Waimei, as parents, were extremely distressed, but they had no choice.
At the moment when Peng Waimei fastened the lock of the wooden cage, she was already in tears when she looked at her son in the cage, and finally left without looking back. Originally thought that putting Peng Weiqing in the cage was a very safe way, but who knew that Peng Weiqing kept howling in the cage, struggling to break out of the cage, because there was no tool in his hand, so Peng Weiqing would hit his head with his head and then use a hand hammer to make himself scarred.
His family could endure anything, but Peng Weiqing often howled in the middle of the night, making the neighbors upstairs and downstairs restless. Maybe it was too much to think out, one day Peng Weiqing somehow actually stuck his head in the middle of two pieces of wood, this time Peng Weiqing can be said to be "riding a tiger is difficult", constantly crying and howling, when his parents rushed to the cage, they were also stunned by the scene in front of them, and his father Peng Jing immediately found a chainsaw and sawed the wood away, which successfully saved Peng Weiqing.
However, Peng Weiqing, who had just been freed, began to go crazy again, rushing up to grab a series of dangerous tools such as kitchen knives and scissors at home. His mother, Peng Waimei, was afraid that he would hurt himself again, so she rushed over to stop him, but she was injured by the young and strong Peng Weiqing, and she almost lost her sight.
Considering his son's situation, it was not realistic to let him out, so his father Peng Jing found someone to build a stronger wooden cage, in order to prevent the recurrence of the card head incident, each pillar of the new wooden cage was very close, and it was difficult to even reach into a hand.
Everyone thought that this time it must be foolproof, but what they did not expect was that Peng Weiqing's mania was getting worse and worse. Like an uncontrolled beast, he kept resisting in his cage, doing everything he could to attack the cage that enveloped him with every part of his body. Kicking the cage with his feet, hitting the cage with his fists, the hard pieces of wood were deformed under his constant attack.
Peng Waimei took care of Peng Weiqing
Peng Weiqing used all the strength in his body to break the cage, and after several tosses and turns to see that the cage was not broken, Peng Weiqing actually began to bite the wood with his mouth. In the end, Sheng Sheng bit off half of a piece of wood, but Peng Weiqing himself lost two teeth, and his mouth was full of blood and wood chips. When his mother saw this scene when she brought him food, her heart was broken, and she felt that it was not a way to continue like this, so she consulted with her husband and changed an iron cage for Peng Weiqing.
This iron cage is tailored according to Peng Weiqing's figure, with a length of 1.5 meters, just enough for Peng Weiqing to sleep, the width is about one meter, and it is quite convenient for Peng Weiqing to move inside.
Because peng Weiqing did not have the ability to take care of himself, his mother specially built a moving door next to the iron cage, and the family brought him food through this door and helped him clean up. The family was afraid that Peng Weiqing was always too depressed to stay in the cage, so they specially loaded the cage with wheels and pushed him around when the weather was good.
Peng Weiqing, who was transferred to the iron cage, was in much better condition than before, no longer always crazy as before, but more of a person sitting in the cage quietly in a daze. Later, several daughters of the family also got married, and there were only two old people left in the family and Peng Weiqing, and the mother often accompanied Peng Weiqing next to the cage, and when she saw anything interesting in the market, she would also buy it back for Peng Weiqing's entertainment.
The family gradually got used to this way of life, and the days were lived day after day, but in 2002, the top pillar of the family, his father Peng Jing, suddenly fell ill.
Peng Jing knew that his wife usually took care of her son very hard, and really couldn't bear to add a burden to her, so she decided to move to a nursing home alone. Unexpectedly, Peng Jing's condition deteriorated so quickly, and he died shortly after moving to a nursing home.
Peng Waimei
His wife Peng Waimei was heartbroken after learning the news, but she knew that she absolutely could not fall, and her son Peng Weiqing was still waiting for her to take care of it. So Peng Waimei couldn't care about her sadness, so she hurried to go through the retirement procedures and decided to take care of Peng Weiqing wholeheartedly at home from then on, because she knew that this was also her husband's wish.
Grateful to society, there is a way back
Peng Waimei's daily life after retirement is around Peng Weiqing, the first thing to do in the morning is to help Peng Weiqing wash his face and brush his teeth, and then go to breakfast, after making breakfast, Peng Waimei does not eat it herself but first feeds her son.
If you eat porridge in the morning, Peng Waimei will first blow cold in one bite and then hand it to her son's mouth with a spoon, if you eat steamed bun fritters and the like, you will tear it into pieces and feed him by hand, just like taking care of a three-year-old child.
Peng Waimei will also regularly wipe her son's body with a towel, because Peng Waimei's age is also very old, so every time she helps her son scrub her whole body, the whole person is tired and breathless, sweating. In addition, the son washed his hair, haircut, nail clipping and a series of other work is done by his mother Peng Waimei alone, although Peng Weiqing's spirit is not very good, has not recognized people, but because he and his mother get along day and night, he slowly has great cooperation and trust in his mother Peng Waimei.
When his mother touches his head, he will obediently cooperate, and when his mother feeds him, he will obediently pass his mouth over, but sometimes when his sister takes care of himself instead of his mother, Peng Weiqing will behave very resistantly, constantly struggling, like a child who is afraid of giving birth.
Because the second sister is not married far, she often goes home to visit her mother and brother, and sees that her mother has a lot of age to take care of her brother very hard, so the second sister proposed to hire a nanny. However, on the one hand, her mother Peng Waimei felt that there was no need to spend this unjust money, on the other hand, she felt that she could not rest assured that she would hand over her son to others to take care of her, and finally asked a nanny.
Once people are old, the body will inevitably have a variety of problems, and as she grows older, Peng Waimei suffers from high blood pressure, lumbar muscle strain and other diseases, and is often plagued by pain. But no matter how seriously ill Peng Waimei never went to the hospital, just a person hard, mother and son have been relying on Peng Waimei's meager pension and subsidies from the state to live, already stretched thin, there is no money to pay expensive medical expenses.
Mother Peng Waimei obviously felt that her body was getting worse than a day, and what she couldn't rest assured of was her son, she always said to her second daughter in a serious tone: "You say, if I die one day, what can your brother do alone?" I can't trust him! ”
The second sister would comfort her mother and said, "Don't worry, don't you still have our sisters, we will take care of him for you." ”
Peng Waimei naturally knows her daughter's filial piety, but she does not want to burden her daughter's family, so she has been looking forward to the social welfare institutions to accept her son.
Soon, the deeds of Peng Waimei's adopted son in the cage were known to the local government, and many reporters went to Peng Waimei's home to do interviews. After people from all walks of life learned of this touching deed, they did their best to donate money and materials, and Peng Waimei was very grateful for everyone's help and saved all the money received for her son to use later.
Zhengzhou Qiao Guang Hospital also specially sent doctors to the mother and son duo for free physical examination, the doctors were very surprised after the examination of Peng Weiqing, a person who had been looking forward to being in the cage did not have any skin problems, which showed that his mother usually did not bother to bother.
Peng Waimei fed Peng Weiqing in the cage
After discussion, the local community government in Zhengzhou decided to take Peng Weiqing to the nursing home for care and waive all fees for the first time.
After the mother learned this news, she was both excited and unwilling, and Peng Waimei was very grateful to the state and the government for being willing to help her take care of her son, but she was a little reluctant to think that her son, who had been with her for 45 years, was about to leave.
Peng Weiqing was well taken care of after being taken to the nursing home, where there were professional nursing staff and medical staff, and Peng Weiqing's condition was also well controlled. Mother Peng Waimei often goes to the nursing home to visit her son, and seeing that her son is all right in the nursing home, Peng Waimei feels very happy and satisfied.
brief summary
It is said that for the mother is just, Peng Waimei uses her selfless and great maternal love to escort her son Peng Weiqing all the way, not to abandon and not to give up, and finally let Peng Weiqing grow up smoothly, Peng Waimei is the best interpretation of maternal love.
