With the perfect conclusion of the Winter Olympics, everyone fell in love with the two mascots, the ice pier and the snow melting.
Everyone will hum the phrase "I just want an ice pier", and you can imagine their popularity.
But their predecessors " Fuwa " , Bebe , Jingjing , Huan Huan , Yingying , nini , also shined in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Have you ever seen a live-action version of Fuwa?
They are the first quintuplets in the mainland, and they were specially invited by the Beijing Olympic Games as the spokespersons for the Olympic Fuwa.
When the Fuwa were six years old, as the smallest Olympic emissary, they participated in the torch relay ceremony.
The fuwa quintuplets who received this honor, their mother cried in an interview:
"If I can do it all over again, I don't want any of these five children."
Why did she say that?
What did the five children do to get the mother to say this?
This has to start many years ago.
In 2001, Wang Cuiying, an ordinary woman living in Hebei, became pregnant, her second child, and she had a daughter on top.
But during the obstetric examination, the doctor heard four fetal hearts, which means that she was pregnant with quadruplets
The doctor was also surprised and suggested that Wang Cuiying have a reduced fetus, because the risk of multiple births is too great, and it is impossible for the family to raise five children at the same time, and the economy does not allow it.
She discussed with her husband:
"Keep one, 5 can't afford to raise, our ability can only afford to raise two, is sorry for these three..."
The husband had to agree to this helpless offer.
But a few days later, when they went to Beijing for surgery, they were told that they were not quadruplets in their stomachs, but quintuplets!
Hearing this news, the couple was stunned, the reduction of the fetus changed from 3 to 4, another innocent life, that is their own flesh and blood!
If you don't reduce the number of births, you may not be able to keep one, and the miscarriage rate of multiple births is extremely high, let alone quintuplets, and there is no precedent for quintuplets in all of China.
If you insist on it, adults and children may have an accident.
The husband asked anxiously:
"Can I do a fetal reduction surgery now?"
The doctor said:
"I just checked the pregnant women, and now the fetus has been formed, and there is no way to do the abortion surgery, so I can only wait for them to miscarry naturally and go with the flow."
Wang Cuiying asked nervously:
"So are they healthy now?"
"Yes, now they are healthy in their stomachs."
Listening to the doctor's words, Wang Cuiying was very conflicted in her heart:
If they all stay and can't afford it, if they shed their own flesh and bones, it hurts like a knife cutting flesh.
Back at home, Wang Cuiying began a long pregnancy process.
But the stomach grew bigger day by day, there was no sign of miscarriage, and several little guys were growing up healthy in the stomach.
During the ten-month pregnancy process, Wang Cuiying had an extremely difficult life.
Originally thin, Wang Cuiying had a very large belly due to multiple births, and her weight soared to more than 150 pounds, becoming a "big belly woman".
Not only did she have a pain in her pubic coccyx, but even her spine was compressed, her movements were very difficult, and she needed her husband's support to go to the toilet.
Especially in the later stage, the huge stomach squeezed her internal organs out of place, and even pressed to the point of not breathing.
The husband saw that his wife had suffered such a great sin, but he could not help at all, and the big man who was distressed fell into tears.
Finally, it is the day of childbirth, although the pregnancy process is arduous, but the real birth is really dangerous.
On March 6, Wang Cuiying was pushed into the operating room, and her husband waited anxiously outside.
Quintuplets were given birth, the first of its kind in mainland China, and in order to make the operation foolproof, the hospital set up 5 expert groups in case of emergency.
Due to multiple births, the mother's body is also physically weak, and it is impossible to give birth smoothly.
The team immediately decided to deliver the caesarean section.
After layers of belly opening, the doctors finally saw the Fuwa, three men and two women, and five children successfully took out.
Wang Cuiying and the doctors jointly created this medical miracle.
Because the children were too light, the five children were immediately sent to the incubator.
The husband heard that his wife and children were safe, cried with joy, and happily took pictures of the children for his wife, and both husband and wife shed tears of excitement.
But just when the family was warm, the doctor hurried over and told them a thunderbolt on a sunny day!
The second brother was diagnosed with colitis, and if he did not have surgery, he could only live for 6 hours!
Wang Cuiying, who had just given birth, was so frightened that she almost fainted, and she weakly told her husband:
"Save the children! Do the surgery! “
"I know I know, you can rest assured, I'll arrange it."
At this time, the husband's heart is also seven up and eight down, but at this time he must be stable.
Fortunately, the second son got out of danger after the operation, but the poor child was so young that he had to suffer such a big sin.
But not long after, the doctor told the third that he had jaundice, and the fourth brother's heart also had some problems, and the couple's heart was directly mentioned in the throat eye.
The wife is weak in childbirth and can only be in a hurry, and after the husband runs forward and runs, where is the joy of fatherhood!
Fortunately, under the treatment of doctors, all the dangers were overcome, and after a few days, the children were taken out of the incubator, Wang Cuiying also went through the discharge procedures, and the family went home.
When applying for a birth certificate for the child, the husband and wife name the child, which are Fuqing, Fusen, Fuli, Fuxin, and Fuyuan.
It can be said that it is full of blessings, but also contains the expectations of parents, happiness and health.
But how to feed five children?
In order to save money, Wang Cuiying decided to breastfeed.
But people are not sows, so how can they feed five children at the same time?
Wang Cuiying can only feed two at a time, once every two hours, and five children take turns feeding.
Therefore, Wang Cuiying has been breastfeeding all day, there is no way to rest, the five children can't eat enough, and the milk production can't catch up with the amount of milk the children eat.
Exhausted, Wang Cuiying quickly gave up exclusive breastfeeding and had to match it with milk powder, but what about money?
In the nearly 1 year of giving birth to a child, it has cost nearly 100,000 yuan to give birth to a child and see a child.
The family is full of debts, where to get milk powder money, let alone five mouths.
So what to do? They are not only short of money, they are also short of people.
The two men had no way to take care of the five newborns, so the husband had no choice but to move the rescue soldiers ---- relatives.
Relatives heard that Wang Cuiying was short of manpower and needed to take care of Wufuwa, and they were willing to help.
The child's grandmother is responsible for Fuqing, the grandmother is responsible for Fuyuan, the aunt is responsible for Fuli, and the couple takes care of the weak fourth and second.
With the help of relatives, the couple could catch their breath.
When the children are older, the husband proposes to go south to make money, otherwise it is not a matter of borrowing money all the time.
The wife had no choice but to allow her husband to go out to work.
But the husband left, that is, 10 years, for the sake of the family's 6 children, had to go away.
The reliable husband alone could not raise 6 children, so Wang Cuiying took five children and went north to work.
Without any skill, she had to find a job as a cleaner, only a few hundred yuan a month.
Five children are in kindergarten, and although the kindergarten has reduced some of them according to the special situation of the quintuplets, it is still a small salary.
The rent was cut off, and the living expenses from the husband were called, and the family's life was tight.
Fortunately, the five children are sensible and never clamor for snacks and toys.
Obviously, she is still a small doll in kindergarten, but it is well-behaved and distressing.
The teachers also paid special attention to the quintuplets, praising them for never wasting food, and the kindergarten meals and meals were eaten clean every time.
But Wang Cuiying listened to her heart but sour, she knew that the children had not eaten delicious food, kindergarten meals for these five children, is a delicacy, how can it be wasted?
In order to make her five children eat snacks, Wang Cuiying will sell scrap in her spare time so that children can also eat lollipops.
Whenever the five dolls sat side by side, happily eating lollipops in their mouths, Wang Cuiying was satisfied and sad.
In 2008, the year of the Beijing Olympic Games, the children just turned 6 years old, and Wuwa seemed to have come into being, ushering in their highlight moments:
The Beijing Olympic Committee invited them to the torch relay ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, the five children put on festive costumes and walked on the runway.
They are not inferior at all, confidently greeting people, and the masses are also very fond of this live-action version of Fuwa.
The ceremony was successfully completed, and the staff also issued certificates and ribbons to the five dolls.
The live-action version of Fuwa has attracted wide attention, learning about Wang Cuiying's plight, and well-wishers provide financial help to children.
Even solved the cost of schooling for five children until the children graduated from junior high school.
This made Wang Cuiying's financial burden much smaller.
In order for the children to have a better development, Wang Cuiying later let the children learn their strengths and reported musical instruments and dances to the children.
The five children are also very competitive and very hardworking.
This can exhaust Wang Cuiying, because the five children have different learning skills, and she has to send each child to a different interest class and pick them up together.
Five children can form a band, and friends joke that they don't have to go out to concerts and order songs at home.
Whenever the child played for Wang Cuiying at home, she felt that this was the happiest time, and thought how good it would be if the child and his father were also at home.
In 2016, five children participated in the TV show "Mamma Mia", and the wonderful performance made this episode very popular.
The host asked the children what their wishes were at this time, and the children all said in unison:
"We hope to grow up quickly, not to let my mother work so hard, and I hope that my father will come home early and the family will be reunited."
The children's words brought Wang Cuiying and her husband to tears.
The host encouraged the children: dreams will come true!
After the broadcast of this program, many well-wishers and charities have said that they can help, but Wang Cuiying has declined.
Wang Cuiying said that the child will accept donations from well-wishers, but now that the child is older, she hopes that the child can be independent, self-reliant, and cannot develop parasitic habits.
Seeing that the family was getting better and better, the heavens made a big joke about the family.
The child's father died of illness in 2017!
This bad news has brought great sadness and regret to this family.
It also made the family, which was not rich, even worse, and the children said they could drop out of school to work.
But Wang Cuiying said angrily:
"Go to your school well, no one should drop out of school, the money matter is not your turn to worry!"
The five children continued to study, and they only had three hundred yuan a month for living expenses.
In order to save money, a few of them often beat a meal, and one person and a steamed bun were dealt with in the past, and it was the age of the long body that had to be so meticulous, and they were all very thin.
After school, the children rushed home to help their mothers do housework and cooked for Wang Cuiying.
When Wang Cuiying saw that the children were so sensible, she always couldn't help but turn her back and cry.
During the epidemic, due to the suspension of classes and non-stop learning, schools have required online classes.
But how can today's families afford high-end smartphones, let alone several?
Wang Cuiying bought a few mobile phones that others eliminated, and they could barely use them, and the children were very content to attend classes.
In 2020, children ushered in a turning point in their lives---- the college entrance examination.
All five children were admitted to college!
Four of them even crossed the second main line!
The five children were all raised to maturity, and they finally grew up.
As long as the children are on vacation, they do not spare any part-time work, waiters, cashiers, security guards, in order to reduce the burden on the family.
This made Wang Cuiying feel relieved and sad, watching other people's children travel around during the holidays, and it was not a taste in her heart.
When the reporter interviewed Wang Cuiying, she said:
"If I could do it all over again, none of the five children would have wanted one back then."
The reporter asked the reason in surprise, and Wang Cuiying said:
"What's so good about following me?" Five children have come to suffer, other people's children are blessed, and I am not capable. ”
But in the child's heart, maybe it is not so thought, the family can be together, is the best day.
The story of Wang Cuiying and Wuwa tells us that life kisses me with pain, but I repay it with a song.
The five children did not defeat this mother, in addition to the great maternal love, but also the mother's strength and optimism, but also taught the child responsibility and love.
Love and responsibility are taught by example, so that children can "repay the favor" so much, can't they?
