In 2009, after her sister was born, her sister Liang Yamei once thought that her mother had given birth to a cat.
At the home of Huitong County, Huaihua City, after the child is full moon,
Liu Xinglian did not dare to carry the child out of the street, because her daughter's body was too small.
How small is it? When Liu Xinglian held her daughter in her arms, it was like holding three or four apples in her hand.
Two pounds and one or two weights, definitely not a watermelon weight.
In addition to being very light in weight, when he was born, he was only 33 centimeters long.
The adult's huge "distance", a little more deceitful, from the beginning to the end.
Because she was too young, after she was born, Liu Xinglian named her daughter Liang Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, the eldest daughter, Liang Yamei, is two years older than her sister, and her body looks normal.
It is precisely because of the health of the eldest daughter that Liu Xinglian did not take the pregnancy test seriously when she was pregnant.
From the initial pregnancy to the appearance of fetal movements, in fact, Liu Xinglian was not unaware of the abnormality.
Compared with the obvious signs of fetal movement when pregnant with the eldest daughter,
When she was pregnant with a small child, Liu Xinglian did not feel the changes in her body.
However, for Liu Xinglian, everything is normal for the eldest daughter, and the second child in her belly must be normal.
Moreover, at that time, Liu Xinglian's husband Liang Zhongnan was working outside the home.
She carried her daughter with her own child, and she had to take care of the housework and work in the fields every day.
So I didn't pay attention to this matter.
It wasn't until seven months after she was pregnant that Liu Xinglian went for her first pregnancy test.
The results at that time already showed that the fetus was small.
However, Liu Xinglian still did not pay attention to it.
The simple experience made her not take this matter to heart, but decided to give birth to the child.
From the beginning of labor, Liu Xinglian was accompanied by the child's abnormality.
At the time of birth, the child almost died of suffocation.
In general, newborns grow at a noticeable rate after birth.
Especially in the first month, the rate of that growth changes almost every day.
I thought that my daughter was thin and weak, and she would grow up after she was born.
Unfortunately, after the child's full moon, her body has hardly changed.
In addition, the child has a continuous high fever at every turn.
The hospitals in the town and county were also powerless, and they suggested that Liu Xinglian take the child to the big hospital for further examination.
At that time, Liu Xinglian's husband Liang Zhongnan happened to be working in Chongqing.
So, the family took the child from Huaihua to Chongqing.
At Chongqing Children's Hospital, the doctor's initial diagnosis was that the brain gate was closed, and the daughter did not have a fontanelle.
However, the results at that time were only a preliminary judgment, and it would take half a year or even a year or so to have a result to make a detailed diagnosis.
Liang Zhongnan is an ordinary migrant worker, Liu Xinglian is also a farmer,
The family simply does not have the savings to afford a long-term hospital stay.
In this way, the family gave up on giving Xiao Xiao to continue to diagnose the disease.
As the days passed, the small body still did not change significantly.
Children of the same age begin to toddlers, babbling in their mouths as they learn to speak.
The little body was too thin to learn to walk or speak.
Most of the time, I had to be cared for by my mother in my arms.
So in the eyes of her sister Liang Yamei, her sister is like a kitten.
Because although Xiao Xiao can't speak, she will make a sound similar to a cat's bark.
After returning to my hometown, the little illness was temporarily shelved.
Luckily, the daughter looks very thin,
However, all aspects of the body still look normal.
When the child grows up to about one year old, in addition to continuing to breastfeed, he can also eat normally.
This made Liu Xinglian feel a lot of worry.
However, every time I go out with my child in my arms, all kinds of strange eyes will come from all directions.
People have never seen such a small child, do not know the situation, and think that the child has just been born not long ago.
But if you look closely, her body, especially her skin, does not look like she was just born.
As a result, there began to be some gossip around him, and even said that Liu Xinglian gave birth to a monkey.
Once Liu Xinglian hugged the little one to a small restaurant to eat,
As soon as they sat down, the eyes of the surrounding diners all shifted to their mother and daughter.
People looked at the little one in her arms like a Western view.
Some people with open personalities simply surrounded them and began to ask left and right.
The owner of the restaurant was not happy, and they all stared at the child in Liu Xinglian's arms, which was not affecting the business of the restaurant.
The boss directly asked Liu Xinglian to pack and quickly leave so that others could eat.
In fact, there are many similar situations.
Especially as the young age continues to increase, the number of times she is regarded as an outlier by the outside world is even greater.
At home, with other children born in the same year as the little one,
Soon you'll be able to eat, walk, and talk.
After more than two years old, the average young child can start playing on their own.
However, the daughter in Liu Xinglian's eyes still didn't seem to have changed much.
However, some minor changes are not completely absent.
The small body length slowly grew from more than thirty centimeters at birth to more than forty centimeters.
The younger daughter's body does not grow up, and the eldest daughter Liang Yamei is normal.
From the age of three or four to the age of five, Liang Yamei's body grew rapidly.
More importantly, in terms of taking care of my sister,
The eldest daughter soon became a good helper for Liu Xinglian.
On weekdays, there are a lot of things in the house, and many times she has to work in the fields.
If there is no adult to take care of it, then the little one can only have a sister to watch.
Although Liang Yamei is still a child, she witnessed her mother's hardships at the beginning.
She was a very sensible and well-behaved child.
Usually Liu Xinglian prepared the food, and Liang Yamei could feed her sister alone.
Sometimes, Liang Yamei would hold her sister out to play.
When others are curious that she is pregnant with the child she is holding,
Liang Yamei will also tell them that this is her sister, because of her physical illness.
But she herself, after all, was still a child.
One day, when Liang Yamei carried the little one home,
Liu Xinglian suddenly found that a large bag had actually bulged on his small head.
She hurriedly asked her daughter what was wrong, and Liang Yamei whispered to her mother that she had accidentally fallen.
Liu Xinglian, who was angry, started to beat her eldest daughter.
Four- or five-year-old children were beaten, and which one didn't cry.
Liang Yamei cried, and Xiao Xiao also cried alongside.
Looking at the two children, who were still young, Liu Xinglian's eye circles were also red.
After the eldest daughter began to go to school, most of the time, the responsibility of taking care of the small one fell on Liu Xinglian alone.
But in the end, there will be many things at home, and Liu Xinglian still has to do it.
Especially when cooking, she had to put her daughter on the bed.
Although Xiao Xiao can't walk, she will also crawl around on the bed when she is restless.
Sometimes when you crawl, you accidentally fall under the bed.
Her strength was so small that when she crawled to the edge of the bed, she had no strength at all to grab hold of the things on the bed to keep herself from falling.
Liu Xinglian can overcome these situations.
What she feels bad about is that the outside world will always be full of malice towards her daughter.
Even once, a circus man suddenly called.
They said they could buy the small one for fifty thousand yuan.
Perhaps in their eyes, Xiao Xiao is a burden to Liu Xinglian and this family.
Unfortunately, they obviously miscalculated, and Liu Xinglian hung up the phone angrily.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, in order to prevent some irrelevant people from continuing to harass her.
Liu Xinglian simply changed her original mobile phone number.
However, Xiao Xiao also has something that makes Liu Xinglian feel pleased.
She grew older, and although she still couldn't speak, She could understand what people meant.
When she was more than three years old, once Liu Xinglian went out with her daughter in her arms.
On the bus, the people around me began to comment on the small point again.
At this time, a person suddenly said, how can this child grow up like this, and whether the frog changed in the previous life.
As soon as the words fell, Before Liu Xinglian could say anything, the little one in her arms suddenly cried loudly.
Obviously, Xiao Xiao was able to understand that these people around him did not have good intentions about their own discussions.
Liu Xinglian was very sad, she directly stopped the driver, and then hugged Xiao Xiao and got out of the car.
Therefore, most of the time, Liu Xinglian still rarely goes out with Xiaoxiao.
Gradually, a little bit of strength also came to mind.
When crawling on the bed, every time I was about to go to the edge of the bed,
She would pull on the sheets and either crawl into the middle of the bed or shout loudly.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of 2011, whether it is hometown dialect or Mandarin, Xiao Xiao can understand it.
Although she was still so short, the little girl became more and more sensitive.
Sometimes people don't have to talk, a look,
Little ones can tell what people's attitudes towards themselves are.
She wasn't big, but she didn't eat small.
At home, as long as she is hungry and has food around her, she will reach out and get it herself.
If not, she would get her mother's attention by shouting.
Liu Xinglian said that from the age of 3, a small breath can eat half an apple.
When you are hungry, you can eat a banana.
A small bowl of rice can be eaten in half an hour.
So it seems that although the small one is not long, everything in the body is actually normal.
In February 2012, the little grandfather died of illness.
Her grandmother's body is not as good as a year,
Not only to take care of the little one, but also to take care of the elderly, Liu Xinglian is under a lot of pressure at home.
But the curse is not alone.
In the same year, Liang Zhongnan, who worked in Fujian, suddenly had symptoms of general weakness.
Went to the hospital for examination and found that there was a lot of white stuff in his lungs, and the initial suspicion was silicosis.
Liang Zhongnan worked as a railway tunnel worker for many years, and he was only in his early thirties at that time.
Liu Xinglian entrusted the little one to the care of the elderly in the family and went to the construction site where her husband was to cook.
However, just a week after arriving at the construction site, the little one at home had another accident.
Because the small respiratory organs are too small, a slight change in the environment will cause a violent inflammation problem.
Liu Xinglian had to return home and then take her daughter to the Hunan Provincial Children's Hospital.
At this time, the small body has grown to 54 centimeters longer than when it was first born.
However, her weight is only 5 pounds.
Because the body is too small, it is difficult at the time of treatment.
A 60 ml bottle of potion, injected into the small body, basically a day.
When in the hospital, in addition to eating and going to the toilet every day, Liu Xinglian accompanied her daughter almost every step of the way.
The rest of the little body is the same as before,
The hospital also gave Xiao Xiao a series of tests, indicating that her physical condition may be related to genetic mutations.
The related treatment is very difficult, and there is basically no possibility of cure.
At this time, Liu Xinglian did not expect her daughter's body to develop normally.
She hopes to be able to cure the child's pneumonia, and then it is very gratifying to see the child can grow up happily.
During the hospitalization, the cost of treatment for a small day will cost thousands of yuan.
For Liu Xinglian and her husband, this is an unaffordable expense.
Because the small respiratory tract is very narrow, if you want to cure pneumonia, you may need a lot of money.
However, Liu Xinglian said that she would not ignore her daughter.
Just this year, the media reports made Liu Xinglian and Xiao Xiao gain greater attention.
Especially later, Liu Xinglian got the help of many well-wishers.
Compared with the pressure in the past, Liu Xinglian felt a lot more relaxed for a while.
The eldest daughter, Liang Yamei, is more than 5 years old, and she has already heard the story of Princess Thumb when she went to school.
Her wish at that time was that her sister would always be as happy as Princess Thumb.
When Liang Yamei, her mother and sister participated in a TV show, her wish came true.
The program team dressed her and her sister up like princesses,
Then cruise in a gorgeous carriage.
Looking at the child's happy appearance, Liu Xinglian's heart should also be happy at that time.
Little got a wider range of attention,
Meng Yan, a related genetics expert, also said that such a situation as Xiao Xiao is rare all over the world.
But fortunately, the little girl's physical examinations were normal.
This means that although the little one cannot become a normal person,
But in the next step, she will not only grow a little taller, but also walk and talk simply.
Moreover, the longest recorded life expectancy of such patients is 75 years.
This is the result that Liu Xinglian is most looking forward to.
At that time, a small situation was reported, and some baby product companies also said,
They will provide all the baby equipment for the little one free of charge.
In the blink of an eye, the media began to pay attention to Liang Xiaoxiao, and another 10 years have passed.
How is her physical condition now?
No further information about her has been heard from the outside world since.
There are rumors on the Internet that Liang Xiaoxiao has passed away, and I hope this rumor is false.
