Due to the poverty of her family, Li Mingqi was extremely short of nutrition, and she suffered from lymph nodes at the age of 10, which worsened at the age of 13. After marriage, her husband accompanied her to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said: "Patients should usually strengthen nutrition, and should not be too tired and anxious." ”
At that time, because he wanted to raise his mother-in-law's family, his husband did not have the financial conditions to buy nutritional products for Li Mingqi, and the most nutritious dish in the family was to eat some meat. Every time the husband bought back half a pound of pork belly, and then stewed a large pot of cabbage or potatoes, the family had to eat for a week.
Li Mingqi was worried about his children's malnutrition, and every time he ate, he picked the meat slices in the dish to the children to eat. When the lymph node attack occurs, Li Mingqi has a high fever and a low fever is commonplace. For more than 20 days in a month, she had a temperature of 38 degrees.
The disease afflicted her for 30 years, until 1976, when Li Mingqi was 40 years old, and under the care and care of her husband, her lymph tuberculosis was completely cured.
