What is it that makes a 56-year-old mother risk her life to conceive twins under financial pressure? The story also begins with a sudden car accident. At that time, SARS was serious, and Guo Min, who lived in Beijing, for the safety of his daughter, asked her ex-husband to take her daughter back to her hometown. Wait until the end of SARS to pick up your daughter, but the plan can't catch up with the changes.
One morning, when Guo Min was preparing to go to work as usual, the appearance of a text message made her faint directly. Her daughter died in a car accident. Guo Min couldn't accept this news, but it was her daughter who had been raising her in the palm of her hand for more than ten years.
For this daughter, Guo Min gave up the iron rice bowl in her hometown after divorcing her ex-husband, so that her daughter could receive a better education and move to Beijing. Guo Min remarried Ren Hansheng, a retired worker in Beijing, and after his life was stable, Guo Min immediately took his daughter to reunite. After her daughter came to Beijing, Guo Min thought that her life was already very happy.
Who knew that after two years of a good life, she actually received such bad news. After some ineffective treatment in the hospital, Guo Min saw her daughter's death certificate. She cried day and night, couldn't sleep every day, and she hated that she shouldn't have sent her daughter back to her hometown, and if she hadn't gone back, it wouldn't have happened.
Guo Min was heartbroken and mentally distracted, her dark hair turned white overnight, and her whole person was old and decadent. She couldn't even go to her daughter's funeral. Guo Min lost hope in life, and she also thought about committing suicide, but she was stopped by her husband Ren Hansheng. No matter how much Ren Hansheng comforted her, it was to no avail.
When Ren Hansheng was at a loss, a piece of news gave Guo Min hope for life. News reports that a 60-year-old man in Japan successfully gave birth to a son through embryo transfer. Guo Min, who saw this report, thought at the time, I am only in my fifties and I can definitely have another daughter.
Guo Min ran to major public hospitals, and all the doctors gave her the same reply. At present, there is no precedent for embryo transfer surgery for such an elderly woman as her, and her body has no conditions to bear children again. And she was too risky to conceive a child. But Guo Min did not give up, and she found a private hospital after several twists and turns.
After the examination, the doctor told her that she did have a chance to conceive life, first of all, she needed to use drugs to regulate the various functions of the body, and secondly, she needed to prepare tens of thousands of yuan. The stakes are high, and because she's too old, the chances of surviving the embryo transfer are still very small, which means that it's very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end. Guo Min replied to the doctor that she knew and understood all this, but the motivation for her to live was here.
Guo Min did not save the child after receiving the embryo transfer for the first time, and she went to the hospital for a second transplant. In order to finally leave a child, she asked the doctor to transfer three embryos to her. Under the meticulous care of her and her husband, two embryos survived. Her two children were born in Beijing Hospital in April 2010. Guo Min and Ren Hansheng began a life of old age with a baby, and since Ren Hansheng also had a son who had not yet married his wife, he and Guo Min could only go out to rent an apartment.
Guo Min and his wife chose a relatively remote place, where prices are cheap and there is no economic pressure. With the retirement salary of Guo Min and Ren Hansheng, he can barely maintain the basic life of the family. But the misfortune is not alone, such a day has only passed for three years. Ren Hansheng had a sudden cerebral infarction and was treated and discharged from the hospital.
Because Guo Min could not take care of so many people, Ren Hansheng moved to the original house and let his son take care of himself. Ren Hansheng's pension is also used to pay for medical expenses on weekdays. This makes it more difficult for Guo Min, who is not rich in life.
Relying on that pension alone can not maintain daily expenses, Guo Min can barely maintain daily needs by working 7 part-time jobs.
Although her life was difficult, she never relaxed the nutrition of her two children. Although the days were hard, Guo Min liked it. She said that I didn't dare to stop at all, because this busyness would make her forget the pain of losing her daughter for a while. Her husband, Ren Hansheng, had asked why she didn't send the boy away, and she wanted a daughter in the first place.
If the son is sent away, the son may have a better life, and their life will not be so difficult. Guo Min rejected Ren Hansheng, saying that you and I are people who have been half-cut into the ground. After a hundred years of you and me, I don't want to let them both have no relatives.
Later, Ren Hansheng died, and Guo Min could not do too many part-time jobs because of overwork. The two children are also about to attend primary school, and the place where they currently live will also be demolished. Guo Min could not breathe under the pressure of this series of events, and she finally took out the key to the house she bought for her eldest daughter in the morning and moved in.
These things are not what Guo Min is most worried about, Guo Min said that most parents hope that their children will have some achievements, and I only hope that my children can become independent as soon as possible. She also hopes to live to be 100 years old and watch these two children support themselves.
