In 2001, a special pregnant woman came to Beijing Maternity Hospital.
The pregnant woman, Wang Cuiying, is 35 years old and comes from Cangzhou, Hebei Province.
It is said that it was found that she was pregnant with quadruplets, because the medical level of her hometown was limited, so I came to a large hospital for examination and wanted to do fetal reduction surgery to reduce the number of fetuses.
I didn't expect the results of the examination, but I was surprised.
"You have quintuplets in your belly, and one too small to hide behind."
The doctor said to Wang Cuiying and his wife.
I wanted to reduce it, but I didn't expect to have one more, and Wang Cuiying was "stupid" on the spot.
The doctor went on to say:
"The best time for a fetal reduction surgery is at 11 weeks of pregnancy, and you've missed the time and can't operate."
"The chance of conceiving a quintuplet is only one in 60 million, and the survival rate is extremely low, and There are no successful cases in China."
"So, you probably have a natural abortion."
However, in the end, all 5 children were born safely, and later they were selected as the live-action Olympic version of "Fuwa".
So, what did Wang Cuiying go through in the process of raising her children?
After 20 years, how has she and her children been?
Wang Cuiying and her husband Bao Cun were both born in the countryside, worked in the same place, were introduced by others, married, and gave birth to the eldest daughter Ning Ning after marriage.
Although the family is not rich, but two people pull a child, life is still quite passable.
At the age of 34, Wang Cuiying underwent abdominal edema surgery, and 1 month after the operation, she went to follow up as required.
It was this time that she returned to the hospital for examination, and she learned that she was unexpectedly pregnant.
Considering the postoperative physical problems and the use of a lot of drugs, Wang Cuiying was afraid of having an impact on the child, so she did not plan to have this child at first.
However, the doctor told her that she was pregnant with multiple babies, and the children were healthy, and she could consider going to a big hospital for fetal reduction surgery.
In fact, what worries Wang Cuiying the most is that with so many children, where is the money to raise?
But as soon as he heard the doctor say that the child was very good, Wang Cuiying was reluctant to beat them all.
So she consulted with her husband:
Then go to the big hospital in Beijing and leave at least one child. Don't you just have a tight life, work two more jobs, or you can support.
The couple then went to Beijing Maternity Hospital for help.
The result of the test is quintuplets, and fetal reduction surgery cannot be performed.
This caught the couple off guard and could only hope that it would flow naturally.
5 months have passed, 6 months have passed, and I have seen Wang Cuiying's stomach getting bigger and bigger, but there is no sign of miscarriage.
The child is growing up healthily, but Wang Cuiying has a serious reaction during pregnancy and suffers a lot.
Pregnant women need to eat well, drink well, and rest well, but she is the opposite.
Because there are too many children in the womb, squeezing the stomach, eating a little food feels very supportive, she can't eat at all.
I have never slept a peaceful sleep, I can't sleep on my knees, I can only rest on my knees.
In order not to press the stomach, the two arms have to be supported, and in a few minutes, they need to change their postures.
Throughout the pregnancy, Wang Cuiying was very hard and difficult.
By the time of 7 months, Wang Cuiying's stomach was so big that she couldn't hold it with both hands.
The heart is pressed, breathing is held to the point of difficulty breathing, the uterus is propped up as thin as a piece of paper, and it will bleed heavily at any time, and adults and children are in danger at all times.
So, on the recommendation of the hospital, she underwent a caesarean section.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, the hospital carefully prepared 5 surgical teams.
On March 4, 2002, Wang Cuiying's five children came to the world one after another, two men and three women, and The first fully surviving quintuplet in China was born.
Everyone present could not help but sigh: this is really a miracle of life.
Wang Cuiying's pregnancy and childbirth process is tantamount to walking before the ghost door closes.
She survived all the difficulties in order to immerse herself in the happiness of being a glorious mother.
But before long, the children had problems one after another.
Because they are multiple births, the children are born small, and they are born prematurely, so they are sent to the incubator for care as soon as they are born.
First, the second year of life suffered from colitis on the 5th day of life.
This disease was very serious in such a small premature baby under the medical conditions at that time.
The doctor told Wang Cuiying and his wife that the child lived for up to 6 hours, and even if the operation was successful, there would be sequelae in the future, which may be an abnormal child.
At this time, Wang Cuiying's thoughts were very different from before.
Since they came to her, it was a gift of life given to her by Heaven, and none of these children could be less.
The weak Wang Cuiying lay on the hospital bed and said to her husband, "We must save the second elder." ”
Perhaps heaven took pity on this mother's difficulty and decided to take care of these weak lives, and the second brother was very lucky, the operation was successful, and there was no problem left.
Subsequently, the jaundice of the third elder and the heart problem of the fourth elder all improved one after another.
Several of the children got through the storm without any difficulties.
When Wang Cuiying named her children, she had a "Fu" character in her name.
Hide all the good hopes in their names, and hope that they will all be blessed people in the future.
It is not easy to have a baby, and it is even more difficult to raise a baby.
After the safe birth, the difficulties of Wang Cuiying's family have just begun.
Because the family is not rich in the first place, a series of expenses for giving birth to a child cost more than 100,000 yuan, and the family's life is even more stretched.
Pieced together, still heavily indebted.
Fortunately, Wang Cuiying has received media attention since she became pregnant.
After the media reported on her family's difficulties, many well-wishers donated money to help them tide over the difficulties temporarily.
However, the process of raising children with hard work still depends on themselves.
Just breastfeeding made Wang Cuiying miserable.
Milk is fed every two hours, and the first one is just fed, followed by the second one.
After all 5 children had finished feeding, before they could rest for a while, the child was crying again and was about to start the next round of feeding.
The children are small, they all look similar, and sometimes they are busy, some do not eat milk, and some eat twice.
At the end of the day, Wang Cuiying couldn't do anything.
The couple has never slept a peaceful night, and every day is drowned in the cries of the children.
There was really no way, so I had to ask my family to help take care of the children.
The eldest was carried away by the grandmother, the fifth was carried away by the grandmother, and then the aunt took the third elder, while the weakest second and the fourth, who were not good, stayed by Wang Cuiying's side and personally took care of them.
The children were taken away during the day and sent back at night.
In this way, the husband and wife finally breathed a little relief.
But there are many children, Wang Cuiying's breast milk is obviously not enough, can only give children to drink milk powder, which undoubtedly adds a lot of money.
After the child is full moon, the couple will make a total and let the husband pay the treasure to go south to work and support the family.
In this way, in order to raise 5 children who are eager to be fed, Wang Cuiying's family of 8 began a long-term life of separation from each other for more than ten years.
When the children are going to kindergarten, Wang Cuiying is going to Beijing to work and earn money, and she resolutely takes the children with her and takes care of them alone.
Every morning, she rode a tricycle with 5 children to the kindergarten, settled the children, and then went to do cleaning work.
At that time, they could only earn 400 yuan a month, and in addition to the rent of 200 yuan, the rest was the living expenses of 6 of them.
Kindergarten teachers will always praise the quintuplets for eating well, not wasting food, and eating clean every time.
Wang Cuiying listened, but her heart was uncomfortable.
She knew that children had never eaten anything good since childhood, and that the kindergarten lunch was a delicacy.
In order to make up for the children, in her spare time, Wang Cuiying will also pick up some waste products, sell them for money, and buy a lollipop for the children to eat.
The children were very content and had a great time eating.
Wang Cuiying felt that since he had chosen to give birth to them in the first place, he would be responsible for them to the end.
When she thinks of 5 children, she is full of strength, and no matter how tired she is, she feels worth it.
The children are also very happy every day, where the mother is, where is the happiest place.
In 2008, on their 6th birthday, the children welcomed the most precious gift of their lives.
The Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee came to the kindergarten where the quintuplets were located, invited the children to participate in the torch relay ceremony, and awarded them ribbons and certificates, calling them the youngest "Olympic ambassadors".
In fact, when the mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games "Five Fuwa" appeared before, Wang Cuiying was amazed:
"This is also too coincidental, isn't it my family's 5 children, also with a 'Fu' word!"
Unexpectedly, such a good thing really found the door, and her 5 children became a live-action version of "Fuwa".
After receiving this honor, the children received more attention from the society and received more love.
The children's fees for kindergarten, primary school and junior high school are all free, which invisibly reduces a lot of Wang Cuiying's burden.
She is particularly concerned about her children's education.
In addition to learning, they were also trained to learn musical instruments and formed a small band.
In 2016, the whole family participated in the show "Mamma Mia", and the children specially played "Listen to Mom".
Watching the children's performance, Wang Cuiying's wrinkled eyes were full of happiness.
When Wang Cuiying talked about the past experience of conceiving, having children, and bringing children in the show, she was understated and smiled lightly.
It seems that all the difficulties, in front of the sensible children, seem insignificant.
The host asked the children what dreams they have in the future?
They blushed and said:
Thanks to the hard work of my mother for so many years, I hope that my father can return to our side as soon as possible, and I hope that I can grow up quickly and take care of my parents.
Venus sighed at the children:
"Life cannot be smooth sailing, in the face of tribulations, we must persist, persistence will have hope!"
When the family ran in the direction of "hope", fate and Wang Cuiying made a big joke.
After participating in the program for 1 year, her husband Bao Cun was overworked for a long time and died of illness.
The roof pillar of the family suddenly disappeared, leaving the family in trouble again.
Wang Cuiying did not even dare to have too much grief, because there were still a bunch of children in the family who relied on her.
She can only endure grief, desperately trying to make money and support her children.
It's not easy for a woman to raise 1 child, let alone 5?
Wang Cuiying's hardships can be imagined.
The children watched their mother work so hard and had the idea of dropping out of school.
Wang Cuiying resolutely objected and sternly told them:
You must read to be able to make a difference, which is also Dad's wish. Money things, Mom will figure out a way.
Seeing that their mother's attitude was so determined, the children made up their minds to study well.
They also held a meeting together, and they had to do housework in the future to reduce the burden on their mother.
Once, After a busy day, Wang Cuiying returned home to see that the children had already prepared meals and were waiting for her.
She wanted to save her children more food, so she lied that she had eaten outside and went to sleep tired.
Who knew that when she woke up, she found that the children had deliberately cooked meals for her to eat.
It turned out that the children had long known that she had not eaten at all.
Tears of forbearance burst out of his eyes at that moment.
Wang Cuiying felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it, and she decided to do her best to raise her 5 children.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
Wang Cuiying is an ordinary woman, but she uses all her strength to the identity of "mother".
Because there is no Beijing hukou, the children returned to Hebei in 2017 when they went to high school.
Wang Cuiying continued to stay in Beijing to work and earn money, and the eldest sister Ning Ning also worked outside the home for many years to supplement the family.
The children only have 300 yuan per month for living expenses, and when it comes to meals, several children eat together in the school canteen, each buying a steamed bun and playing a dish, saying that eating this way saves money.
Because of malnutrition, the children were hungry and thin, but they always told their mothers on the phone that the money was enough to spend.
Later, the school learned about their situation and helped apply for a subsidy, and they were able to eat a full meal.
The eldest of the quintuplets is a girl named Fuqing, who inherited her mother's shrewdness and ability to arrange the family in an orderly manner.
Every morning, Fuqing is responsible for calling his brothers and sisters to get up and arrange for everyone to do housework and study.
The small house of more than thirty square meters was stuffed with beds and books, but neatly packed.
During the epidemic, they stayed in this hut to take online classes together and supervise each other.
During the online class, 5 children needed 5 mobile phones, which made Wang Cuiying very difficult.
At this time, the boss Fuqing told her mother that she did not have to worry, she found a few old mobile phones from relatives and friends around her, and cobbled together them into a "new" mobile phone.
Although it is stuttered, the younger siblings feel very satisfied that they can take online classes normally.
It is gratifying that although the conditions are difficult, when the results of the college entrance examination were announced in July 2020, the other four children of the quintuplets, except for the second eldest, all crossed the undergraduate score line in Hebei Province.
This made Wang Cuiying close her mouth happily, but then she worried about the high tuition fees.
The children naturally guessed their mother's troubles.
The fifth elder ran to Beijing and found a job as a security guard, with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, and took the lead in earning tuition.
Brothers and sisters are not far behind, waiters, cashiers, craftsmen... All kinds of gigs, there is an opportunity to make money, do not let go.
They decided to use the summer vacation time to earn tuition and make it easier for their mothers.
Although life is hard, the 5 children have never complained, but live seriously and are full of gratitude, which is also Wang Cuiying's greatest satisfaction and pride.
Those who said "how to feed so many children" now say that Wang Cuiying is bitter and willing to enjoy happiness.
However, after so many years of surviving, what is suffering and what is happiness is not so important to Wang Cuiying.
She only wants her children to grow up faster and repay all the people in the society who care about and help them.
She accepted all the tiring, bitter and sad things of raising five children, but she didn't want the children to taste these human tastes.
Because to this day, she still wipes her tears and says:
If I had to choose again, I wouldn't want one, because I wouldn't be able to live a good life by following my suffering.
But in the eyes of the children, she is the greatest mother.
She gave them the most love within her own means, and they never regretted being her child.
Some people say that before a child is born, he will pick his mother in heaven.
If according to this statement, Wang Cuiying can be selected by 5 children at the same time, it must be because of her kindness and strength.
In the first half of her life for the sake of children, she did not have a good day;
In the second half of life, the grown-up children will inevitably return all their love to her.
Because in 20 years, she has taught children what responsibility and love are with actions.
Send blessings to Wang Cuiying's family: bittersweet will be happy in the future!
