One day in December 2009, at Guangzhou Fuda Hospital, Peng Ximei, who was 12 months pregnant, just appeared and attracted everyone's attention.
With a height of only 1.65 meters, she has a huge belly weighing 60 kilograms, and she looks like a monster!
In the face of criticism from all sides, Peng Ximei, who had just been kicked out of the house by her husband, burst into tears, preparing for the worst in her heart.
Peng Ximei's fate, where will it go next?
The source in this article comes from the official media (2015 National Health and Family Planning System Advanced Typical Deeds Tour Report "Peng Ximei: Great Love, Let Me Be Reborn", CCTV CCTV10 Science Channel "The Road to Health - The Mysterious Woman with a Giant Belly"), but in order to improve the readability of the article, the details may be polished, please read sensibly, for reference only!
Seriously ill, her husband turned her back
On the afternoon of December 23, 2009, at the Zhanjiang Central People's Hospital in Guangdong Province, Peng Ximei walked into the hall with a slow pace. As soon as she sat down in her chair, countless eyes turned to her, focusing on the towering belly.
Although Peng Ximei is 12 months pregnant, her belly is as big as a balloon, and she can't see the demeanor of a pregnant woman at all. Onlookers stood nearby and gossiped, arguing about how many twins Peng Ximei was pregnant, but Peng Ximei's face still didn't have the slightest expression.
Sister Peng
Peng Ximei's family lives in the Po Group of the Women's Federation in Guanqiao Town, Huazhou City, Guangdong Province, and she married her husband at the age of 24, and lived a happy life in the first two years. However, due to the delay in giving birth to children, her mother-in-law often blamed Peng Ximei behind her back, and scolded her for being "a chicken that can't lay eggs".
This made Peng Ximei feel very guilty, in order to let her in-laws realize their wish to hold her grandson as soon as possible, she could only take those so-called "home remedies" for giving birth to children without saying a word. A few months later, Peng Ximei's stomach swelled, which made her husband and in-laws very happy.
The mother-in-law was sure that Peng Ximei must be pregnant with twins, and she believed that she had childbirth experience, so she never took her daughter-in-law to have a prenatal checkup. The family was immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life, and none of them noticed that Peng Ximei's body had begun to show abnormalities.
In the third month of pregnancy, Peng Ximei's belly reached the size of seven or eight months, and she fainted more and more often. The husband and mother-in-law didn't take it seriously at first, but as the gossip in the village grew, they began to panic.
Remembering that Peng Ximei had not had a pregnancy reaction since she was pregnant, her husband and mother-in-law were alarmed and hurriedly sent her to the hospital for examination. When she learned that the "child" she was pregnant with was ovarian cancer, Peng Ximei was about to faint.
Peng Ximei's in-laws are not wealthy, and they can't afford the cost of cancer treatment. After learning from the doctor that she had two or three years left to live, Peng Ximei chose to give up treatment, but her husband's reaction made her feel extremely cold.
It is said that "husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest", but in the face of Peng Ximei, who was seriously ill, her husband ruthlessly filed for divorce. What made Peng Ximei even more desperate was that her husband had an affair behind his back during this period, which really responded to the sentence "Fly separately when disaster comes".
Peng Ximei signed the divorce agreement without saying a word, and then walked out of the house with her savings and went to Hainan alone. After two months on the beach there, Peng Ximei traveled to Guangzhou. Frustrated, she walked on the bridge alone at dusk.
Scenario simulation
The affection of her husband and the indifference of her in-laws made Peng Ximei no longer have the desire to live. Anyway, he is a dying person, even if he jumps from the bridge into the river, he can still end up clean. However, when she saw the ants moving on the ground, Peng Ximei was shaken again.
A faint thought overflowed from her mind, since she still had a breath, why couldn't she take another gamble and try it? Although she was seriously ill, her parents would be sad if she died so directly. So, Peng Ximei thought of going to the hospital.
With the last hope, Peng Ximei appeared in the hall of Zhanjiang People's Central Hospital. The 29-year-old caressed her huge belly and secretly prepared for the worst. At this time, the appearance of a person made her eyes light up.
Benefactors help to regain their lives
The person who came was Xu Kecheng, the president of Guangzhou Fuda Hospital, who was in Zhanjiang Central Hospital for free treatment that day, and when he was about to go out, he noticed Peng Ximei, who was only wearing a thin skirt. Xu Kecheng, who realized that the situation was not good, immediately took her to the hospital where she was.
When Peng Ximei was taken to Guangzhou Fuda Hospital by ambulance, she had severe breathing difficulties and could not even say a complete sentence. Tsui Hok Cheng speculated that this was a symptom of heart failure, and urgently performed a CT scan for her, and the results surprised everyone.
Dean Xu Kecheng
In Peng Ximei's terrifying huge belly, there is no shadow of the fetus, only 55,000 milliliters of viscous liquid! What's even more terrifying is that her heart, lungs, and spleen have been "displaced", and her intestines are even deeper into the ribs, and her heartbeat has reached 140 beats per minute!
"I've been a doctor for 46 years and I've never seen such a big belly. ”
The "culprit" that led to Peng Ximei's situation was a tumor located in the ovaries, about the size of a fist. Don't look at the tumor is not big, but if it is not removed in time, Peng Ximei's life will be in danger at any time. Surgery as soon as possible has become a top priority for the hospital.
Prior to that, the hospital had spent 10 days draining fluid from Peng's abdomen and infusing albumin and plasma. However, the operation must be signed by the family, and Peng Ximei's family is too poor, how should this be good? At the critical moment, Xu Kecheng made another move.
Tsui Hark became Peng Ximei to check the condition of the abdomen
Tsui first promised Peng Ximei free treatment, and then he contacted Peng Ximei's brother through the media and asked him to complete the signing. On January 15, 2010, Xu Kecheng personally operated on Peng Ximei's surgery, and finally successfully cut off the tumor.
After hours of life and death, Peng Ximei's "giant belly" finally disappeared, and she was grateful to Xu Kecheng for her rebirth. If it weren't for Dean Xu, Peng Ximei would probably really give up on herself, he is her own life-saving benefactor! However, Xu Kecheng smiled and said:
Peng Ximei after the successful operation
"The reason why she (Peng Ximei) was able to survive was because there were many good people who continued to help her, which was the result of social care. In other words, love is not dead!"
Before Peng Ximei was discharged from the hospital, Xu Kecheng took into account her family situation and forced another 2,000 yuan. In return, Peng Ximei later became a volunteer for the hospital and had a happy little family.
Today, Peng Ximei is a volunteer in the fight against cancer, using her own experience to encourage patients to fight against the disease. In the future, she will continue to pass on Dean Xu's love!
