In 2001, a pregnant woman with a big belly staggered into the Beijing Maternity Hospital, she was only about four months pregnant, but her stomach was bigger than the pregnant woman who was about to give birth.
This pregnant woman's name is Wang Cuiying, and she is carrying five babies in her unusually human-sized belly.
Seven months after pregnancy, with the efforts of doctors, Wang Cuiying successfully gave birth to three women, two men and five children, and the mother and child were safe.
At the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Wang Cuiying's five children were also selected as the "live-action version of Fuwa".
Today, Wang Cuiying's children have grown up, but she said: If I can choose again, I will not want one.
What did Wang Cuiying experience in the process of raising her children? What kind of life are they living now?
Quadruplets become quintuplets
Wang Cuiying is a rural woman in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, whose family conditions are not very rich, and she and her husband Bao Cun married and gave birth to a daughter.
In order to support the family, Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun work hard to work outside, and although the family's life is not rich, it is still quite happy.
Wang Cuiying originally thought that she would pull her only daughter to grow up and watch her get married and start a family, but at the age of 34, her life suddenly took a turn.
"Ms. Wang, you are pregnant, and after examination, we determined that you are pregnant with rare quadruplets."
"What?" Wang Cuiying was very shocked, she went to the hospital originally for a re-examination operation, but unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant.
Wang Cuiying had previously had abdominal edema surgery, and she was worried that the drugs she took to treat the disease would affect the fetus, so she was reluctant to leave the child.
Moreover, Wang Cuiying's family conditions were average, and there was no money to support the unexpected four children.
The doctor told Wang Cuiying that according to the current test results, the children in her belly are all healthy.
But from a medical point of view, the pregnancy of quadruplets can bring unimaginable risks to the mother, and the doctors suggested that she go to a major hospital for attenuation surgery, leaving one or two of the children.
After all, Wang Cuiying is a mother, and she is not willing to beat up the four unborn children.
After consulting with her husband, Wang Cuiying decided to keep a child, and the life of one more child was at most tight, and it was not impossible.
Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun simply packed their luggage and came from Cangzhou, Hebei Province to Beijing Maternity Hospital for help.
"You have quintuplets in your belly, and one too small to hide behind." After reading the examination report, the doctor said to Wang Cuiying and his wife.
This news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made Wang Cuiying stunned on the spot.
The doctor then told Wang cuiying that she came to the hospital too late and missed the best time to perform the reduction surgery.
"You were supposed to come before you were 11 weeks pregnant, but it's too late to have surgery."
"So what do we do?" Inexplicably, there was another child, and Wang Cuiying did not know whether she should laugh or cry.
"The odds of quintuplets surviving are very low, you have to go home and raise the baby yourself, and before long the baby may have a spontaneous abortion."
With the support of Bao Baocun, Wang Cuiying returned home from the hospital with a big belly.
In fact, Wang Cuiying's heart is extremely tormented, on the one hand, she hopes that the child will have a natural abortion, on the other hand, she is reluctant to give up every child in her belly.
In the midst of the entanglement, Wang Cuiying's stomach grew larger and larger, but with the passage of time, she did not show any signs of miscarriage.
The birth of the live-action version of Fuwa
For mothers, conceiving a baby is a very difficult process.
Almost every pregnant woman experiences symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and complications during pregnancy.
And Wang Cuiying is pregnant with five babies in her belly, and the pain she endures is far greater than that of ordinary pregnant women.
At the fifth month of pregnancy, Wang Cuiying's stomach was frighteningly large, and she needed her husband's treasure to support her every step.
Because the child in her belly squeezed Wang Cuiying's stomach, so that the food she ate into her stomach had nowhere to put it, Wang Cuiying was very uncomfortable every time she took a bite.
When it was time to sleep at night, Wang Cuiying was afraid that sleeping in bed would squeeze the child into her stomach, and took the initiative to choose to kneel on the bed to sleep.
It is difficult for ordinary people to maintain a kneeling posture for a long time, let alone Wang Cuiying, who has a big belly?
In order to maintain this strange sleeping position, she had to tighten her body, lest she relax and press it to her stomach.
In this way, Wang Cuiying stumbled through the whole seven months with her child in her arms.
By this time, Wang Cuiying's stomach was already so big that it was a little frightening, and Wang Cuiying couldn't even stretch out her hands to circle her stomach.
The doctor told Wang Cuiying that her uterus had been stretched to the limit by the child, and if she did not give birth as soon as possible, there was a danger of heavy bleeding at any time.
At the doctor's suggestion, Wang Cuiying promised to undergo an immediate caesarean section.
On March 4, 2002, Wang Cuiying was pushed into the operating room, while her husband, Bao baocun, was outside anxiously awaiting the results of the operation.
In order to ensure the safety of Wang Cuiying's mother and son, the hospital responsible for the caesarean section was fully prepared.
Five surgical teams took turns and staged a relay of love in the operating room.
With a crisp cry, the five children in Wang Cuiying's belly came to the world one after another, three girls and two boys, each of which was a medical miracle.
Wang Cuiying was lying on the hospital bed, covered in sweat, and she really felt like she had walked through the ghost door.
However, for her, as long as she can give birth to the baby safely and smoothly, it is worth it to suffer more.
But before Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun could rejoice in the safe birth of the baby, the babies had problems one after another.
The second brother has colitis, and the situation is very critical! Without timely surgery, your baby will only be able to live another six hours.
Even if the operation is successful, the doctor cannot guarantee that the second brother will be completely cured, and colitis is likely to leave the baby with sequelae.
Wang Cuiying didn't have time to think so much, she just wanted to save her children.
"We must save the second brother." Wang Cuiying said this sentence intermittently, urging her husband to guard the second brother for surgery.
Jiao Baocun did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed from the ward to the operating room, and in just a few days, Bao Cun once again sat here in the same mood.
He paced around in a hurry, dense beads of sweat oozing from his palms.
Time passed minute by minute, I don't know how long it took, the light at the door of the operating room was finally extinguished, and the doctor told Bao Cun: The operation was successful, and the baby survived!
At this time, Bao Cun was relieved, and he hurried back to the ward to tell Wang Cuiying the good news.
In the days that followed, several other babies inevitably had some minor problems.
Under the full treatment of the doctor, the baby and Wang Cuiying successfully survived the difficulties and were discharged from the hospital safely.
It is difficult to have a baby, and it is even more difficult to raise a baby
After giving birth to a child, how to name them became the biggest problem in Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun's heart.
Thinking about it, Wang Cuiying decided to let each child have a "Fu" word in their name, and she hoped that every baby could grow up happily and happily.
But for a family with an ordinary family and many children, happiness seems to be a distant thing.
At the time of production, Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun spent almost all of the family's savings.
Now that the five children are waiting to be fed, Wang Cuiying is worried: Where does the money come from?
What makes Wang Cuiying feel relieved is that from pregnancy to childbirth, she has been living in the care of the media and well-wishers in society.
Knowing that Wang Cuiying's family was in difficulty, many people generously donated money and goods to their family, alleviating the "economic crisis" of Wang Cuiying's family.
Although money and materials can be donated, Wang Cuiying still has to do it herself when it comes to taking children.
At first, Wang Cuiying insisted on taking the child herself, and she made a plan for herself to feed herself every two hours.
There are many children, there is only one mother, and Wang Cuiying can only take turns to pick up the children and feed them.
Feeding once takes a lot of time, and it's hard to finish a round, and before you can catch your breath, it's time for the next round of feeding.
What makes Wang Cuiying even more headache is that she can't distinguish between the five children in the family and often makes mistakes when breastfeeding.
Some children eat twice in one round of feeding, while others do not eat once, and they are hungry and cry.
After a long time, Wang Cuiying felt that she was about to suffer from schizophrenia in the baby's crying.
She told her husband Bao Cun about her troubles, and the couple summed up and felt that they could not go on like this anymore.
Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun decided to entrust the child to the care of the family, and relatives and friends knew their difficulties and did not hesitate to lend their help.
The eldest, the fifth and third elders were taken away by grandma, grandmother and aunt respectively, while the remaining two children remained with the couple.
After the children were sent out, Wang Cuiying could no longer feed them all the time, so she had to replace breast milk with milk powder.
The cost of milk powder is a big expense for Wang Cuiying's family, and after the children start to eat milk powder, the family's money is suddenly insufficient.
In order to make ends meet, Bao Cun left his hometown and went to the south to work, while Wang Cuiying took his children to Beijing and lived a hard life.
Wang Cuiying is not highly educated, can only do some simple work, after arriving in Beijing, she did cleaning in a company.
At this time, Wang Cuiying's five children have reached the age of kindergarten, and the most important thing For Wang Cuiying every day in addition to work, is to go to the kindergarten to pick up and drop off children.
In order to save money on the road, Wang Cuiying bought a small tricycle, and every day the children rode the tricycle to and from school.
Wang Cuiying's salary is not high, only 400 yuan per month, half of which has to be used to pay rent.
Wang Cuiying has five children, but the monthly living expenses are only 200 yuan, which shows their living standards.
However, Wang Cuiying's children knew that the conditions at home were not good and would never make a request to embarrass Wang Cuiying.
The more sensible the children are, the less taste wang Cuiying's heart is, and she feels that she has treated the children badly.
Sometimes Wang Cuiying would take time out of her spare time to pick up some scraps to sell, and the change she earned was almost all bought lollipops for the children.
For children who have not eaten anything good since childhood, lollipops are already a rare delicacy.
Live-action version of Fuwa status quo
In 2008, the 29th Summer Olympics were held in Beijing, and the mascots of this Olympic Games were five cute Fuwa.
"This is also too coincidental, isn't it my family's 5 children, also with a 'Fu' word!" Wang Cuiying exclaimed.
It didn't take long for the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to find the kindergarten where Wang Cuiying's five children were located, and they heard that there were very rare quintuplets in this kindergarten.
After meeting the children, the staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee warmly invited them to participate in the torch relay ceremony.
Children with ribbons and certificates in their hands and happy smiles on their little faces, they are the smallest Olympic ambassadors and the live-action version of Fuwa in people's mouths.
After the incident was reported by the media, Wang Cuiying's family returned to the public's vision.
People learned about the current living dilemma of Wang Cuiying's family and gave them love, and the tuition fees of the five children's kindergarten, primary school and junior high school were also reduced.
Although Wang Cuiying is an ordinary rural woman with no culture, she attaches great importance to the education of her children.
After the conditions at home were a little looser, Wang Cuiying sent the children to an interest class to learn musical instruments and dance.
In 2016, Wang Cuiying also participated in the program "Mamma Mia" with the children, at the scene, the children showed their achievements in learning musical instruments and dance over the years.
After participating in the program for a year, Wang Cuiying's husband Bao baocun fell ill due to years of fatigue, and the hospital tried its best to treat him, but it still did not save his life.
From this day on, Wang Cuiying had to carry the banner of taking care of the family alone.
Wang Cuiying's children can't bear to see their mother working so hard, they want to drop out of school to work, to help Wang Cuiying reduce the burden.
"You must read to be able to make a difference, which is also Dad's wish." Money things, Mom will figure out a way. Wang Cuiying scolded several children.
At Wang Cuiying's insistence, several children gave up the idea of dropping out of school to work.
In 2020, five children took the college entrance examination at the same time, and their years of hard work were finally rewarded, except for the second eldest, the scores of the rest of the children crossed the undergraduate line in Hebei Province.
When she got the report card, Wang Cuiying was in tears, and the children finally had to have their own world.
When the reporter visited Wang Cuiying and asked her about her mental journey over the years, Wang Cuiying's answer was somewhat surprising.
"If I had to choose again, I wouldn't want one, because I suffered and suffered with them, and I didn't let them live a good life."
This sentence is simple and painful, but what Wang Cuiying does not know is that in the eyes of children, she is already the best mother in the world.
Today, children go to school and learn professional knowledge in their respective schools, and they often come home to visit their mothers.
In order to reduce Wang Cuiying's burden, in addition to studying hard, the children are also spontaneously looking for part-time jobs.
I believe that the children will use their own way to repay Wang Cuiying's heavy maternal love.
