March 5
The Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress opened
That afternoon, General Secretary Xi Jinping
The Inner Mongolia delegation, where he belonged, participated in the deliberations
A good historical story was told
"Three Thousand Orphans Enter inner Mongolia"
Between these children and steppe Eji (mother).
What kind of touching story is there?

01
Early 1960s
Thousands of children adopted by the governments of Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places
Face the threat of hunger
Under national arrangements
3,000 orphans were sent to Inner Mongolia for adoption
They have since had a common name
"Children of the Nation"
After arriving in Inner Mongolia
The children are first sent to a temporary nursery for intensive care
Wait until you adapt to the environment and your physical condition improves
He was then sent to an adoptive family
02
Among these "children of the nation"
28 children were sent to the Four Sons WangQi Temporary Nursery
Here they met
The most important person in life is Duguima
The 19-year-old prairie girl
Be the children's Eji
At that time, the children were small and weak
I kept getting sick and crying and crying
Duguima started by feeding and peeing
Working day and night, he was very busy
Once a child gets sick
She also had to brave the cold prairie wind
Ride horses for dozens of miles to send your children to medical treatment
△ The capital of the year is Guima with the children
To understand the physical condition of the children
Duguima had to check their diapers herself every day
She said from the color and smell of the excrement
I can know how the children are doing
More than a year later, these 28 southern children
No longer the yellow skinny look I looked like when I came
They are healthy and thriving
Not a single child dies of illness or starvation
The children slowly adapted to the environment in Inner Mongolia
Whenever you grow strong or raise one
There are families to adopt one
Duguima experienced 28 painful partings
She often rode on horseback
Go to the children's adoptive parents near the house
Quietly observe, secretly understand
See if the adoptive parents take good care of the children
△ Duguima
Zaragamuji was the last child to be cared for by Duguima
At the age of 3, he was fostered to another family
When it was discovered that the herdsmen lacked the basic knowledge of raising children
Duguima chose to take him back to him
Until a suitable foster home is found
03
Today, duguima used to raise the children
They are all over half a hundred years old
Their hair had gradually grayed out
He still visits Duguima often
Sadness or joy should also be shared with her
△ Du Guima and the children they have taken care of
However, face the children around you
Duguima had regrets and regrets in her heart
"The greatest regret of my life,
It was so young,
I can't remember the Han names of your 28 children. ”
"If I remember your Han names,
You grow up and ask about your hometown, look for your biological parents,
It will be much easier to connect..."
In 2019, prairie mothers are all guima
Won the honorary title of "People's Model"
But Duguima said
"This medal is not just for me,
It is awarded to all 'Prairie Mothers'. ”
△ Du Guima took a group photo with the certificate of national honorary title of "People's Model"

Like Duguima
Many of the steppe on the Egi
All take good care of these "children of the nation"
Raise them
△ "Prairie Mother" Zhang Fengxian and her adopted 6 children and family portraits (data map)
At the time, pastoralist families wanted to adopt children
The first thing to do is to have a hard condition: there are cows in the house
In order to be able to adopt the "children of the nation"
Some herders sell the only horse in the family
Some even sold ancestral wedding headdresses
△ Herders and the "Children of the Nation"
The little boy Bao Yintu was a classmate at the time
The most envious child
In those difficult times, he always had cookies in his pocket
And it's the whole class
The only one wearing satin Mongolian robes and leather riding boots
Children who come to school
Little girl Bao Fengying
Since the day I was adopted
The adoptive mother would not allow anyone to mention it again
The fact that she was once an orphan
One day, a guest came to the house
Just because I said one word
"This girl doesn't look like a Shanghainese at all."
He was thrown out of the door by his always hospitable adoptive mother
Never again
△ Bao Fengying and her adoptive mother
The word "orphan"
It was tabooed with the adoptive mother for more than 20 years
Until the night before Bao Fengying got married
The adoptive mother solemnly mentioned the child's life to the son-in-law
Entrust the other party to "you have to be kind to her"
△ Bao Fengying and her adoptive father and adoptive mother and husband
On the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia
A prairie mother
With great love and warmth that transcends the region and transcends blood
Saved the lives of 3,000 orphans
Hats off, Prairie Mothers!
