A Woman in Xinjiang, poor and unable to afford to eat, adopted 19 orphans and raised 180 children.
Moreover, she also works part-time to earn money for their education.
Now they have their own families, happy families and successful careers.
To them, this "mother" is more like a biological child, and even if they go farther, they will not forget her.
Her name was Anipa Ali Mahon and she spent her life building a home for orphans.
When the outside world asked her why she took in so many children.
She said lightly, "I just did what a mother should do." ”
People who have been drenched in rain, hold up a home for others
In May 1939, a family in Qinghe Town, Qinghe County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, welcomed its first daughter.
This sweet-laughing girl, her parents named her Anipa Ali Mahon.
Although the Anipa family is poor, it is fortunate that there are parents who love each other, younger siblings play together, and the whole childhood can be regarded as bitter and sweet.
However, the harsh environment did not spare this poor family.
In order to support their children, parents work every day and night, and they become tired and sick at a young age.
When Anipa Ali Mahon was 19 years old, her parents became more and more ill because they could not afford to see a doctor.
In the end, he left his children and passed away one after another.
At this point, the burden of the family was all on Anipa.
Anipa had to feed six underage siblings, the youngest of whom was less than 1 year old.
At that time, Anipa had just turned 19 years old and had to support 6 underage children, and anyone who saw it was distressed.
Thankfully, Anipa's kindness and tenacity impressed the young man Abibau, who was willing to shoulder the weight of life with Anipa.
Anipa agreed to Abibau, and the two registered for marriage, becoming a married couple.
Anipa said, "My criterion for finding someone is kindness of heart. ”
Since then, two kind people have begun to hug each other for warmth in the difficult years and have become each other's only dependence.
Every day, Abibau gets up early and gets dark, works bricks in the kiln factory during the day, and after work, he has to go around collecting bones and selling money to maintain the family's life.
Anipa went up the mountain to dig up wild vegetables and collect firewood for the children's rations.
Although life is extremely hard, it is fortunate that the people around me know themselves best, and their lives are barely passable.
In the winter of 1970, Anipa's neighbor Yahefu and his wife died of illness one after another, leaving the three Tohuti brothers behind.
Three children under the age of 10 have since become homeless orphans.
When Anipa learned of this, she did not hesitate to take them home, because she knew how difficult life as an orphan was.
At this time, her family also suffered from the dilemma of not being able to eat.
Anipa had just given birth to a child, was too weak to work, and the burden of the whole family fell on her husband.
Moreover, the 6 children in the family have grown up slowly, and the amount of food has become larger, and the whole family has 6 mouths waiting for the meal.
Even if life is very tough. Anipa still didn't even think about it, so he took the three Tohuti brothers home.
"My own dolls have me and his dad, what are those dolls?"
Today, Tohuti is already full of children and grandchildren.
But when he recalled the past again, he still said with tears:
"At that time, my mother's family of 8 people lived only on my father's salary of 45 yuan a month.
And the three of us boys are the age when the body can eat, and the difficulties can be imagined.
Her love for our three brothers will always be engraved in our hearts. ”
There is a saying on the Internet: "I know that I am not living a satisfactory life, but I still can't see this human suffering." ”
Anipa's mother knows better what it's like to have no umbrella because she's drenched in rain.
Because she has been exposed to the knives and guns of life, she wants to be the iron wall of children and protect them.
"My mother didn't think I was dirty, and I've had a home ever since."
In the winter of 1974, Anipa adopted another orphan.
Wang Shuzhen, 11 years old, walked alone on the street, more than 10 degrees below zero at the time.
Most children as old as her are lying next to their parents.
But Wang Shuzhen braved the cold wind alone, rummaging through the garbage cans and finding food to fill her stomach.
At this time, Anipa was in a hurry to rush home.
Coincidentally, Anipa met Wang Shuzhen.
Seeing her dirty body, her hair in a mess, curled up next to the garbage can, constantly breathing for warmth, Anipa only felt pain.
She went up to greet Wang Shuzhen, who looked at Anipa timidly, not daring to say a word for half a day.
Anipa looked at her frozen red hands and feet, hugged Wang Shuzhen tightly in pain, and shed tears: "Poor child, how did you become like this, if your mother saw it, she would be distressed..."
This time, Anipa still didn't think much about taking Wang Shuzhen home.
Wang Shuzhen walked on the road, constantly thinking back in her heart: "People are so clean and beautiful, don't they hate me?" I'm so dirty! ”
When she got home, Anipa hurried to boil hot water, bathe her, and wipe the old towel with a hot towel little by little.
After the old towel was removed, a foul smell came over the face, and the pus on the head could not stop flowing out.
The lepers on Wang Shuzhen's head had long been covered with scalp, and there was not a single hair.
Wang Shuzhen cried and said:
"She grabbed my head and pinched it like this and that, and she didn't hate to be dirty,
My mom dipped the towel in there, and when it was opened, the towel was slowly removed. ”
Anipa bathed her, brought her a bowl of mixed noodles, and gave it to Wang Shuzhen to eat.
It was the noodles that the poor families were willing to eat every holiday, and Anipa herself was reluctant to eat them.
Subsequently, in order to cure Wang Shuzhen's leper, Anipa took Wang Shuzhen to the county town every day to see a doctor.
Unfortunately, the sky is not what people want, and everything is not as simple as imagined.
The family's savings were almost spent, and Wang Shuzhen's lepers were not getting better.
Just when Anipa was overwhelmed, she looked around and heard that there was a doctor at the veterinary station who specialized in the treatment of tinea dermatophysis.
When Anipa heard the news, she immediately pulled Wang Shuzhen to the doctor.
With the last glimmer of hope, Anipa finally found the veterinary station, but the people suddenly refused her.
"Where livestock are treated, how can they be treated?"
Anipa was desperate, and the veterinarian was her last hope.
She cried and begged, "As long as there is a way, I will not go to the veterinary station to see the child." ”
Finally, under the repeated pleading of Anipa, the doctor prescribed Wang Shuzhen an ointment to treat ox ringworm, and instructed the ointment to keep the head clean, need to wash the hair every day, and take medicine every day.
Heaven sent a wave of mercy, and opened up to this poor family, and did not embarrass them anymore.
After 3 months, under the careful care of Anipa's mother, Wang Shuzhen finally cured the leper on her head and grew hair.
Wang Shuzhen excitedly said to Anipa:
"I finally have hair, I finally have hair, and no one is calling me bald on the street."
Today, Wang Shuzhen, who is in her 40s, has her hair already over her knees.
She was reluctant to cut it off because "this is the most precious gift my mother gave me."
One soothes the child who has lost his parents with love, and the other deeply remembers this kindness in his heart and never dares to forget it.
This is probably the most "bloody" mother-daughter relationship in the world!
"The palms of my hands are all meat, all my children"
Someone asked Anipa's mother who was her most beloved child.
She always laughed and said:
"In my house, the palms of my hands are full of flesh,
They are all my children and we are a family. ”
But in the eyes of her own child, she is obviously very "eccentric".
One day, Anipa returned from a relative's house with a green dress, and her own daughter, Kaliman, took a fancy to it.
"No one in the family wears a skirt, I am the eldest, and I am my mother's biological daughter, and this dress is supposed to be worn by me."
But as a result, Anipa did not want to give her the skirt, but gave it to the child who was not related to her and picked it up.
Kaliman was very puzzled and began to lose his temper, and Anipa urged her, "You are the eldest sister, and you want to let the younger sister." ”
When she was a child, Kaliman really couldn't understand why her mother had adopted other people's children, even so good to them, so that her family was so poor, the house was leaking, and there was no money to buy new clothes.
Today, although Kaliman has long been an adult, every time she thinks about it, she still feels very wronged.
Wang Zuolin, a son of the Hui people, recalled that when he was a child, he was always a little happy and couldn't help but shed sad tears.
One year, he said, someone gave me a pair of sneakers.
Mom's biological son, Aben and he both wanted, and in order to fight for this pair of sneakers, the two of them fought, and neither of them accepted defeat.
In the end, Ah Ben won, but the sneakers belonged to Wang Zuolin.
The reason is that Ah Ben just got the shoes, and before he could put them on his feet, his mother snatched them from Ah Ben's hands and handed them to me.
Mom also counted ah ben on the side: "You who are the older brother, you don't know how to let the younger brother!" ”
Anipa's mother is indeed very eccentric, eccentric to the point that whether she is a parent or not, she treats everyone equally.
In her eyes, she only recognizes the standard of big and small, but does not recognize the distinction between blood and non-blood.
Her heart was small, so small that it was only standard.
Her heart was big, big enough to accommodate all the children.
The writer Fan Qin once said:
"As soon as you walk into Aripa's mother's house and drink a cup of hot milk tea, you can feel her ubiquitous maternal aura."
In my heart, I often can't help but think of her as my own mother. ”
Anipa's mother is such a person, warm and loving to everyone, she always uses the care of her mother to take care of every child.
She did her best to make every child feel the mother's love from her.
Anipa's blood relationship with her children is lighter than water, but her maternal love is more real than Kim's.
Life is not only in front of you, but also in books and far away
Whenever she encountered orphans, Anipa took her home and became a veritable "scavenger".
Unlike the average scavenger, she adopts orphans who have no one to rely on.
Anipa says:
"The children have come to my house one after another, but they are distressed, their conditions are very hard, and they want to help people who have the same difficulties as themselves."
When they are hungry, they want to cook and eat, when their clothes are torn, they want to make up for them, and when their clothes are dirty, they want to wash them. ”
As the family grew more populous, the Responsibilities of the Anipa Couple became heavier.
They have to find ways to make more money to be able to feed their children.
In order to get their children to eat, Anipa's mother took a job at the county food factory and washed sheep's intestines.
Anipa wakes up at 6 o'clock every morning, and after making breakfast for the children, she carries a large basin to the small river to wash the sheep intestines and lamb tripe.
In this way, Anipa's hands have been soaking in the river for many years, and a pair of them has long been out of shape.
Daughter Wang Shuzhen recalled with tears: "At that time, my hands were so frozen that I shrunk together, and my hands couldn't reach out. ”
When her daughter Reahe recalled the difficult years, she choked up several times:
"At one o'clock in the evening, when my mother came back, we were happy to die, and we said hurry up and cook for us, and my mother will cook quickly.
At that time, we didn't know how tired my mother was, just knowing how to eat, I was very hungry at that time. ”
In order to feed the children, Anipa bought an iron pot with a diameter of 1.2 meters.
This pot is still in Anipa's house, and everyone calls it the "reunion pot".
Every day, the children's dinner is a table dish.
Anipa's supper was a bowl of soup sprinkled with a few grains of wheat.
Usually, she always leaves food for her children and is reluctant to eat.
As a result, Anipa's face was puffy and did not subside for several months.
Life is hard enough, but Anipa's mother still wants her children to go to school.
"You go to school, you see how well you are learned, since you have raised these dolls, you have to have a little bit of success, a little bit of learning."
To reduce household expenses and save money for children to go to school, anipa serves leftovers at the wet market.
The milk produced by the cows in the family is not willing to drink, and it is kept and saved.
The money saved was used by Anipa to pay the children's school fees and buy new clothes.
In order to let the children read under the lamp, Anipa's mother twisted the kerosene lamp by hand.
Anipa's mother recalls being very happy to see her children learning under the lights.
In a blink of an eye, decades of difficult years have finally passed.
Today, Anipa's children have also grown up and have successful careers, some are cadres, and some are engaged in individual businesses.
At the same time, Anipa also gave the children a marriage, and the children had already started a family and had their own children.
There is a saying on the Internet: "Life will be bitter for a while, but it will never be bitter for a lifetime." ”
The Anipa family finally got rid of the hard days and ushered in the joy of life.
She became the happiest mother in the world, her children were filial, and her pain was not in vain.
There are no natural lucky ones, only the most loving human touch
Every child who came to Anipa's house was unlucky.
In their childhood, they suffered unspeakable pain and tasted the great tragedy of life.
At the same time, they are lucky, fortunate that they meet Anipa's mother and feel the truest maternal love in the world.
In this mixed childhood, it was Anipa's mother who gave them a new life.
Today, children have long since started their own families.
But every Spring Festival, no matter how far the mountains are, they must return to Anipa's mother's house for reunion.
They still rushed from all directions, as they had done as children, just to reunite with Anipa's mother.
In 2009, Anipa's mother celebrated her 70th birthday.
This large family, which has no blood relation, gathered here and took the largest and most bloody family portrait.
In this photo, a Uyghur mother sits in the middle, surrounded by 6 ethnic groups and 180 children, including Uyghurs, Han, Hui, Kazakhs, Tatars, and Uzbekistan.
180 children, 180 tragic stories.
But at that time, they shared a happy story, that is, they met their mother and regained the beauty of life.
Today, these orphans who have received the favor of Anipa's mother, under the influence of their mother, also contribute their strength to the outside world to help more helpless people.
In 2008, Kaliman helped a child who could not afford to read and regained his dream of reading.
Anipa's niece, Reziwanguli, sponsors poor students despite living in poverty.
During the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, Anipa not only took out the money saved from her family, but also found the county government many times:
"We are living many times better now than in the past, and I am willing to adopt 10 more orphans."
In 2009, Anipa's mother's deeds were reported and made into a movie.
Touching people have given an award speech to Anipa:
Not flesh and blood, but all her children, and she spread her wings to prop up their sky.
Wind and frost, hunger and cold, all blocked, poor and tired, shoulders.
In her home, the water is thicker than the blood, and the kindness is beyond the affection.
The spring water is the clearest, and the mother's love is the truest!
Saying goes:
"There is no natural luck, only the most loving human touch."
Anipa, on the other hand, vividly interpreted the love of the world, and she gave her lifelong love to orphans who had no blood relation.
Thanks anipa for giving 180 kids a warm home!
