When Guo Min was 56 years old, she gave birth to a pair of twins, and in order to support her two children, Guo Min had to work 7 jobs a day, and said that she would live to be 100 years old.
So now that 13 years have passed, what happened to Guo Min?
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources of information and are detailed at the end of the article
Loss of only daughter
In 2010, many media in Beijing reported the news that a 56-year-old mother gave birth to twins, which instantly caused heated discussions on the Internet, and many people said that why she was so old and old enough to support her old age, but she still had to have children?
Some people also raised questions about the future raising of the child, and people wondered that she was about to be 60 years old and gave birth to a child now, but what should be done about the child's future rearing?
After that, people also paid more attention to this "elderly" mother, so why did she choose to have a child at the age of 56?
In 2010, Guo Min was 56 years old, but in this year, Guo Min gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses by embryo implantation technology, which also refreshed the upper age limit of mothers in Beijing.
Guo Min has also been looking forward to her two children for a long time, because before that, she had no hope of life.
When Guo Min was 51 years old, her only daughter died in an accident, and Guo Min suddenly felt hopeless after losing her daughter.
After that, she spent every day in pain, her eyes were almost blind from crying, and she even thought about suicide.
But she was stopped by her wife, Guo Min had a messy life every day after she had no daughter, and she would turn on the TV at home every day after buying vegetables.
Because she finds the house too quiet, the sound of the TV can make the room feel lively, especially when she is alone, and she often thinks of her daughter.
Decide on the test tube
Maybe it's because it's so bitter that even God can't stand it, and when she was about to collapse, life brought her a sudden surprise.
One day she saw a newspaper report that a 60-year-old woman in Japan had given birth to a child through IVF.
Looking at this report, Guo Min's heart suddenly had the idea of having another child, and that woman is 60 years old, she can have children, and she is a few years younger than her, so she must be able to.
The desire to have another child grew stronger, so she decided to give it a try.
At first, the hospital she went to said that she was no longer able to "successfully" have children at her age, but Guo Min did not want to give up.
By chance, she went to a private hospital, and the doctor here said that her body had the conditions for reproduction after examining her, which also made Guo Min very excited.
At first, Guo Min's wife didn't agree with Guo Min's approach, thinking that she was too old and it was dangerous, but Guo Min wanted to give it a try.
In this way, she took out all her savings, plus 30,000 yuan borrowed from her old mother, a total of 80,000 yuan, Guo Min came to the hospital, and in order to prevent failure, the doctor implanted three embryos into her body.
The first of them had a miscarriage, and in order to keep the remaining two, Guo Min tried all his means, and his wife wanted Guo Min to abort another one, leaving only one daughter was enough, and he couldn't afford the cost of two children.
But Guo Min was resolute, she said that she could work to earn money to support her two children.
After learning that the second child was a son, Guo Min was even more happy, she felt that the two children would have company.
A few months later, the child was born, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the arrival of the child also filled Guo Min's heart.
In order to support the children, Guo Min goes out to work every day, and even at most she has to work 7 jobs, although it is very hard, but for the sake of the children, Guo Min also feels that it is very worthwhile.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, in 2013, my wife had a sudden cerebral infarction, and my wife went to the son who was born to his ex-wife to recuperate, so Guo Min could only raise two children by himself.
When the children were able to climb, Guo Min couldn't keep an eye on the two children alone, so she installed a pole at the head of the bed, then tied a strap around the waists of the two children, and tied the other end to the pole to let them climb on the bed by themselves.
One man works seven jobs
In this way, Guo Min slowly raised the children, and when the children reached the age of kindergarten, Guo Min sent them to the kindergarten only five minutes away from home.
Every morning at seven o'clock, Guo Min gets up to make milk powder for the two children, washes their faces and dresses, and sends them to kindergarten at eight o'clock, but Guo Min has to walk for half an hour when ordinary people are 5 minutes away.
Because she lives in a lot of cars, holding two children, Guo Min is very careful, she always pays attention to the surrounding vehicles, to avoid accidents for her children, she wants to put an end to all accidents.
After sending the child to school, she went home and continued to do the accounts, in addition to her pension of more than 1,000 yuan, Guo Min also made accounts for 7 companies, and each company paid her two or three hundred.
The person in charge of the company saw that she was very serious and responsible, so he let her continue to do it, but she needed to take back the account by herself every month and send it back after she was done.
These companies are not in the same place, some are in Tongzhou, some are in Shijingshan, and every time they take the bus, they have to walk a very long distance, but Guo Min does not feel tired at all, and she still walks like a fly, and she will continue to work for another five or six hours after returning home.
Guo Min has to be careful every day, for the daily grocery shopping, Guo Min also has a fixed place to buy, the vegetable market downstairs is a bit expensive, so he pulls a small cart to a morning market farther away, where the vegetables are the cheapest nearby.
Every Friday morning she would go there and buy the next week's dishes, which cost twenty or thirty at a time.
Every other day, she would steam chicken cakes for the children, and although life was budget-conscious, both children were raised by her and grew tall.
Guo Min's neighbors and her friends, as well as some well-wishers, also sent Guo Min a lot of toys and clothes before.
When I went to pick up my child before, the parents at the school gate would ask her if she was the child's grandmother or grandmother after seeing Guo Min, and every time Guo Min would explain that she was the child's mother.
In 2018, Guo Min's wife passed away, and before that, Guo Min also suffered from lacunar cerebral infarction, and she had no choice but to quit 5 part-time jobs.
Guo Min has always looked forward to living a normal life as an ordinary person, but people pay a lot of attention to them, and when the two children were in first grade, the school thought about donating money to the two children.
But Guo Min refused, she wanted her children to be like other children, and she didn't want her children to be "looked down upon" by others, she said that people should live ambitiously.
After Guo Min's experience was reported, many well-wishers sent her donations, but there were also many families who were left alone, and they wanted to know about Guo Min's experience of becoming a mother again, and they also wanted to have children again.
There is a lot of financial pressure on raising children, but Guo Min is very optimistic, she says she can't be pessimistic, she wants to live to be 100 years old.
The two children were also raised very well by Guo Min, both children are very optimistic, Guo Min also said that he didn't want his children to be too smart, "it's good to be stupid".
For the sake of the children, Guo Min has also been working hard to persevere, she said that she wants to raise them as adults, and she also hopes that she can be healthy and watch the children complete everything.
