When Sheng Hailin was 31 years old, her life was in the best years. There is a considerate husband at home, and a beautiful and intelligent daughter Xiaoqian, who is thirteen or fourteen years old.
Every morning, Sheng Hailin would smile and make breakfast for her daughter to make dumplings herself, and then drive her to school. She would watch Qianqian jump and plunge into a group of laughing girls at the school gate, and then happily drive to her workplace.
Sheng Hailin often thinks about how complete my life is. I have my own beloved career, a partner who loves each other, and this cute, well-behaved, clever and intelligent daughter, who is simply the brightest star in my life.
But the good times didn't last long. Just one day, Sheng Hailin received a phone call, and the other end of the phone said incoherently that something had happened to Xiaoqian. She was stunned for a moment, and the phone fell to the ground with a "click".
By the time she came to her senses and rushed to the scene, it was too late. However, Xiaoqian, who was only 18 years old, was hit by an out-of-control vehicle on the passing road and died on the spot.
From that day on, the Sheng family's happy painting skin collapsed. Her husband drank heavily every day, while Sheng Hailin had insomnia all night. She could no longer bear this empty, grieving home.
So, a seemingly crazy but sinful thought sprouted in her heart - I want to have another daughter.
At first, this thought was just a flash in Sheng Hailin's mind, but gradually, it became clearer and stronger.
"Mom, are you crazy? Hearing the news, Sheng Hailin's relatives and friends were stunned, and they all had an expression of disbelief.
Sheng Hailin could also understand their surprise, after all, at her age, a normal person would have become a grandmother a long time ago.
"I'm not crazy, I just want to have another daughter, can you understand my pain?" Sheng Hailin shouted with red eyes. Indeed, in the past ten years, the figure of the daughter who was hit and killed on the road has never left her nightmare.
She misses Xiaoqian so much, she misses herself so much that she is miserable.
In the face of opposition from all sides, Sheng Hailin still embarked on the road of realizing her wish without hesitation......
When Sheng Hailin gave birth to twins as she wished, the news quickly spread among relatives and friends.
Soon, the circle of friends exploded. Some people expressed high skepticism that giving birth at the age of 60 was irresponsible; Some people think that Sheng Hailin is too selfish and only thinks about her own feelings; There are also some mothers who can understand Sheng Hailin's attempt to make up for the huge psychological trauma after her daughter's death.
In any case, the news that Sheng Hailin gave birth to twins at an advanced age attracted widespread attention and discussion at the time. This incident has become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner, some people bluntly say "it's crazy", and some people say "too shameless" angrily.
However, in the turbulent waves of public opinion, Sheng Hailin, who was thousands of miles away, would not give up her determination because of this.
From the moment the twins were born, Sheng Hailin understood that she had to take responsibility for the future of her two children. Although she is over the age of six, she can't leave her children alone because of her selfishness.
At least for the rest of her life, she wants to leave them with enough living expenses to support them for a long time to come.
So when the children were 100 days old, Sheng Hailin began to run around, relying on her professional knowledge and rich experience in the medical field, giving lectures in various places to make money.
At first, I only went to one or two cities occasionally, but then I traveled to more and more places, sometimes a dozen cities a month. Away from home and constantly in the motel, she is no longer young and feels extremely tired.
But when she thought of her daughters' cute smiling faces, Sheng Hailin gritted her teeth and endured loneliness and bumps. At the same time, she also hired a confinement lady to take care of her daughter's daily life.
Afraid that her daughters would hate her for not being around, Sheng Hailin would video chat with her daughters every night, telling them that her mother missed them outside.
In this way, Sheng Hailin began a long "part-time" career. For the next 12 years, she was in a state of almost year-round travel, in order to earn more money and save enough for her two daughters' education and living expenses.
She knows that this money means a lot to her daughter's future.
Finally, the day before the twins' 18th birthday, Sheng Hailin calculated the money she had earned over the years - after deducting hotel fees and transportation expenses, she had saved a total of 7 million yuan for her two daughters!
When Sheng Hailin told her husband this number, her husband was so excited that he burst into tears. He suddenly realized how great his wife, who had never been at home with the children growing up, actually was.
She used her little youth in exchange for the stability of her daughters' lives.
Sheng Hailin saw all this in her eyes, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. A great sense of accomplishment mixed with hard-earned relief and the exhaustion of seeing my gray hair in the mirror.
Sheng Hailin's incredible story and 12 years of hard work quickly spread among relatives and friends. At first, everyone still had a lot of criticism about her, but now seeing the 7 million savings and two grown daughters, everyone is impressed by this 60-year-old mother.
"I used to say that she was selfish, but I didn't expect her to be so great, just to give so much for the future of her daughters. "Yes, she can be said to have almost lived on the road in the past 12 years, and it is really difficult to be a mother.
Many mothers were deeply touched by Sheng Hailin's story. In this materialistic society, it is difficult for anyone to give so long to raise children. Sheng Hailin's story silently tells the world that the greatness of a mother is the most selfless love in the world.
It may be difficult to imagine how a 60-year-old lady can give birth and raise children, but Sheng Hailin reminds us with her own actions that nothing in the world is impossible.
Sheng Hailin's story has undoubtedly warmed and inspired many people, and her blazing motherly spirit like a torch makes all mothers ashamed. However, we must also be soberly aware that Sheng Hailin is a very special case after all.
With the physical condition and economic strength of a 60-year-old lady to give birth and raise children, this is simply impossible in the eyes of ordinary people. Most ordinary people can't meet Sheng Hailin's conditions - they have a strong economic accumulation, have their own career and social influence, and pay attention to physical exercise and maintenance since childhood.
Therefore, although Sheng Hailin's story is moving, we still have to rationally recognize the various problems that may be brought about by advanced age and childbirth. For example, the risks of childbearing, and controversial ethical issues.
Before having children, any couple should carefully consider whether they have such conditions and awareness.
After all, life is not child's play. When you choose to have children, you are obliged to take full responsibility for the life of this new life. This is something we must clearly understand when we are moved by Sheng Hailin's story.
