Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
"Whoops, whoops, whoops," Peng Weiqing, who was locked up in the cage, began to howl again in the middle of the night.
The neighbor next door yelled, "I'm dead, I live with a fool every day, your whole family is a fool." After the neighbor finished speaking, he pulled up the quilt and covered his head, trying to calm the anger in his heart.
Sometimes I really can't help but get up and knock on the door of Peng Weiqing's house, and I am very impatient to say: "Your family is not bothered, every day in the middle of the night, let no one sleep, you will find a property complaint like this." ”
The two couples in the house bowed and compensated, and fortunately calmed the neighbors.
After the neighbor left, the two couples looked back at their sons in the cage and sighed, and then gently closed the door and went back to the house and lay on the bed, unable to sleep.
What happened to the family? Why do two couples keep their son in a cage and howl in the middle of the night? This matter should also start from the time when Peng Weiqing was a child in the cage.
Peng Weiqing in the cage
Overseas Chinese missed their hometown and resolutely returned to China, but their son was seriously ill
The two couples mentioned earlier who apologized were Peng Jing and Peng Waimei, the parents of the sons in the cage, and they were also a pair of bitter people.
Peng Jingzu has been developing in Malaysia and has never returned to China. By chance, Peng Jing met Peng Waimei, a Guangdong native, and the two quickly entered the palace of marriage. The family lives happily in Malaysia, but Peng Waimei will inevitably feel homesick for a long time, and she has long wanted to go back to her hometown in Guangdong.
After Peng Jing learned of his wife's idea, Peng Jing, who loved his wife, planned to take his wife back to China for development, and Peng Waimei was very happy to agree to her husband's proposal immediately after hearing about it.
After returning to China in 1953, the family did not settle in Guangdong, but chose their hometown of Henan. Peng Jing found an accounting job at the Guomian No. 1 Factory at that time, and his wife Peng Waimei was also hired as a technical backbone by the Guomian No. 1 Factory. In this way, the family settled down in Henan.
In 1964, Peng Waimei found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant, and Peng Waimei told her husband Peng Jing the news. Before that, the two had three daughters, and they didn't think about having another child, but did they want to be pregnant?
Peng Jing said, "Since you are pregnant, you will be born." ”
This fetus directly gave birth to a big fat boy to Peng Jing, and this made Peng Jing happy. Although Peng Jing did not have the idea of preferring sons to daughters, it was best to have a son to continue the incense for himself. Since having this son, Peng Jing has worked harder and has a smile on his face every day.
As the only son in the family, he must still be cautious in taking names. Peng Jing specially found a dilapidated Chinese dictionary, and after a week of research, he finally named his son Peng Weiqing.
Not to mention that in that era, even if they are now in their home, they are enviable families, they have children and daughters, stable jobs, and their lives are full of passion.
Every time he heard the envious voice of the neighbors in the factory, Peng Jing smiled and closed his mouth, saying: "Wherever, everyone is very wrong." ”
The good times did not last long, and the bad news came
My son was just two years old, and there was no longer any more festivity in the family, just endless sadness.
It turned out that the young Peng Weiqing had a serious high fever, but it did not attract the attention of Peng Jing and his wife. They thought it was just a simple cold, remembering that their three daughters had also had such a situation when they were young, and did not send it to the hospital in time but chose to deal with it simply.
They chose to use the previous folk remedies that would not harm the body but also reduce fever, and their daughters used this method to reduce fever before.
Peng Waimei followed the methods said by the old people, boiled the onion white in water, wrapped it in gauze to wipe the child's body, and the effect was good every time.
But this method did not work as effectively as before to give her daughter a fever, but it was more serious, and the young Peng Weiqing still called his mother from time to time in his mouth, and his body must be very uncomfortable.
Until late at night, her son still had no sign of fever, and Peng Waimei decided to send the child to the hospital for treatment at dawn.
The two couples kept their children for a night, and finally waited until dawn. They quickly carried the child to the hospital, and after the hospital's emergency fever reduction, the child's body temperature dropped. But the doctor's words below immediately knocked Peng Waimei into the abyss.
It turns out that the child missed the best treatment time because of the fever for too long, causing irreversible damage to the brain, and the child's IQ may only be maintained at the level of one year old.
The hard-won son became a mentally handicapped child due to his own negligence, which made Peng Jing and his wife full of self-blame.
Since then, the couple has taken their children everywhere to seek medical treatment and have gone to all the hospitals that Henan can go to, but because this is an irreversible injury, the money spent on the disease is still not cured.
Disheartened, the two couples can only bring up their children, and Peng Waimei is ready to take care of her son for a lifetime. Taking care of a normal baby is very tired, not to mention the child with intellectual disabilities, so he has to pay several times more energy than others to take care of this child.
Peng Waimei is only in her 30s and feels a lot older, her face is full of haggard, and her husband Peng Jing is no exception.
Someone else's child could walk at the age of two, but Peng Weiqing couldn't. Older people can't walk, their feet are high and low, and they often fall with blue noses and swollen faces.
As you get older, you worry more and more.
Once When Peng Waimei came home from shopping for vegetables, she saw her son Peng Weiqing holding a knife in his hand, a knife here and there, as if it was still very funny, and he didn't know the pain at all.
Father Peng Jing cooks in the kitchen, and Peng Weiqing will also run to the kitchen to grab a knife and dance. Peng Waimei immediately stepped forward to stop it, who expected her son to directly punch his mother in the left eye. When Peng Waimei went to the hospital for treatment, the doctor said that if she hit the middle of the eye, she might be blind.
Peng Weiqing, who is in his 10s, not only has violent tendencies but also suffers from severe mania, and he will constantly howl at night, disturbing everyone's misery.
Finally, for the sake of safety, Peng Jing planned to put his son in a cage, and Peng Waimei agreed although she couldn't bear it.
The next day Peng Jing found a few pieces of wood to order a wooden cage, and Peng Weiqing has been living in the cage ever since.
Because Peng Weiqing had a serious mania, the initiation of the disease was kicking and bumping, and this cage could not bind him at all, and he used his head to break the wooden board and directly stuck between the two wooden boards.
Seeing that the quality of this cage was not good, Peng Jing ordered a second cage for his son. This cage is made of large logs, which are much stronger than the previous planks.
They still underestimated Peng Weiqing's destructive ability, and Peng Waimei woke up and came to the living room to find a mess on the ground.
It turned out that the son directly held the wood and nibbled on the wood chips on the ground, and there was blood around it. Peng Waimei looked at her son's mouth with a blur of blood and flesh, and two teeth fell out of the ground. This makes a mother how can not be heartache, tears have been swirling in the eye sockets, if not for the fact that they did not pay attention to the son's condition would not be like this at all.
Because the destructive power was too strong, Peng Jing made a third cage for his son, which was also the "room" that Peng Weiqing stayed in the longest.
This time it was an iron cage, a cylindrical steel pipe that Peng Jing bought back from the flea market, and then specially invited someone to weld it.
The cage is 1.7 meters high, about 1.5 meters long and less than 1 meter wide.
For Peng Weiqing, that is his world, which is both a bedroom, a toilet, and a dining room.
In order to let Peng Weiqing be able to move indoors, they installed 4 feet on the iron cage this time, and when they had time, they could push the cage to move and let Peng Weiqing walk around at home.
This time Peng Weiqing lived for decades, and this cage was all he had.
The father died, leaving the mother alone to take care of him
As I get older, my body becomes more and more overwhelmed. Her husband Peng Jing could not bear it, and he also had a serious illness. Now wives have to take care of not only their children but also their husbands.
In order to reduce his wife's burden, Peng Jing went to live in a nursing home on his own, and Peng Jing died two months later. Before his death, he still had his son's name in his mouth, and he could not rest assured of his son on his deathbed, and the staff at the scene could not help but cry.
Peng Waimei took care of her son at home and did not even see her wife for the last time.
Now that his wife has gone, several daughters have also been married, and usually they can only take time to go home to visit, and the heavy responsibility of taking care of their sons has all fallen on Peng Waimei.
In order to take care of her son, Peng Waimei had to retire from the First National Cotton Factory in advance and take care of Peng Weiqing at home full-time.
In the morning, before dawn, she had to get up. First boil hot water to wipe his son's body, change the wet clothes and pants and sheets to wash, and mop the floor clean.
Immediately after, she wanted to cook porridge, and after washing her son's face, she moved a chair and sat outside the iron cage and fed it to him spoon by spoon.
Sometimes eating steamed buns, worried about choking her son, she has to tear it into small pieces first, and carefully feed it with one hand.
Watching his son drool while eating, still like when he was more than 1 year old, Peng Waimei was full of pity for him, picked up the towel prepared next to him, wiped the corners of his mouth clean, and also freed his hands to touch his son's face.
These days have been going on for many years.
Although the daughters are married, they are still very concerned about the family's situation. Several people discussed hiring a babysitter to take care of her brother, and my mother could relax a little and go out for a walk when she had time.
But Peng Waimei agreed, she said: "I will take care of myself, in exchange for outsiders to take care of me, I am not at ease, in case people beat him, what if people beat him?" ”
Several daughters could not help their mothers, and they could only do what she wanted, and when they had time, several sisters took turns to take care of them.
Once Peng Waimei fell ill and was hospitalized, and the younger brother in the family could only be taken care of by his sister. Peng Weiqing couldn't see that his mother had been crying, and the meal took more than two hours to finish, while eating and spraying, there was no patience for this job.
After being discharged from the hospital, Peng Waimei still took care of her son as always, and now that Peng Waimei is older, what she is most worried about is what to do with her son when she closes her eyes.
Several daughters comforted their mothers and said that they would not ignore their brothers and let their mothers not worry.
With the help of society, the mother finally felt at ease
In 2013, the media learned of this touching story, and the reporter of China News Network published the deeds of Peng Waimei in the media, which attracted the attention of people from all walks of life.
Everyone was touched by this great mother, taking care of her disabled son for decades, and love came from all walks of life.
With the help of caring people, Peng Waimei's life has been greatly improved. She saved every sum of money, saying that she would not starve to death when her son died.
The Zhengzhou Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese also heard about this matter, and after research, decided to take Peng Weiqing to the nursing home for care free of charge, and all the expenses were borne by the Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese. Peng Waimei is now more than 80 years old and really can't afford to take care of it, so she agreed to let others take care of the children.
Zhengzhou Qiao Guang Hospital also specially gave Peng Weiqing a full body physical examination, which surprised the doctors and nurses that Peng Weiqing's body was very healthy after living in the cage for decades, and his body was clean and odorless.
One has to admire this great mother for taking such good care of her son.
After examining his body, Peng Weiqing left the iron cage where he had lived for 45 years. Before leaving, although Peng Waimei was reluctant to give up, she was old and could no longer shoulder this responsibility.
Fortunately, the son now has a good home, at least he can go to his husband with confidence, and give him an explanation below.
Peng Weiqing was sent to a nursing home, carefully cared for by medical staff, although occasionally sick but with calming drug treatment, it is also relatively smooth.
On December 9, 2013, in order to express their gratitude to the Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the Peng family sisters specially sent a pennant.
The pennant reads: "People-oriented, warm the hearts of overseas Chinese" eight big golden characters.
After that, Peng Waimei will still go to the nursing home to visit her son when she has time, afraid that he will not eat well and sleep well. But every time I go to see my son, it's good, and I can rest assured.
Now Peng Waimei still maintains the good habit of thrift and thrift, and she wants to save money for her son.
