Wang Cuiying, who is in her thirties, was pleasantly surprised to find out that she was pregnant with a rare quintuplets when she was examined at the hospital in 2001, which was also the first case of quintuplets in China.
As the saying goes, "more children and more blessings", seeing Wang Cuiying's quintuplets, people praise her for being blessed, but the hard work behind it is little known.
He was the sole breadwinner of the family, shouldering heavy responsibilities, and in order to provide a better life for his wife and children, he was frugal, overworked, and finally passed away. Therefore, the responsibility of depositing treasures is very heavy.
After a lot of hardships, Wang Cuiying finally raised the children to grow up and supported them to go to college, and her life finally began to take a turn for the better. However, when faced with the reporter's interview camera, she confessed that she regretted it.
What happened during this time?What is the life of the quintuplets like now?
Quintuplets. The probability of a pregnant woman conceiving twins is generally only 1% to 5%, and if there is a twin gene in the family, the probability is relatively higher. Did you know?
Although giving birth to twins is a lucky event, it also comes with considerable risks. Children of twins may be physically fragile and more susceptible to disease than single children.
The probability of Wang Cuiying being pregnant with quintuplets is 1 in 60 million, which is very rare. In the past, there were people who conceived multiple births, but the survival rate was very low due to the large number of fetuses.
The fetus is in the mother's womb and may be at risk of miscarriage. Even if you are lucky enough to be born, you may die due to physical problems.
With the progress of China's medical level, there are more and more cases of multiple births that can grow safely, but in 2001, the medical level was not high.
Wang Cuiying not only successfully gave birth to quintuplets safely, but also raised them, which must have taken great effort, so she also became the first mother in my country to give birth to quintuplets.
A poor family in Cangzhou, Hebei Province is Wang Cuiying and Bao Cun, although their life is a little hard, but at least they can ensure food and clothing, and the couple are very optimistic, so the family life is still relatively happy and warm.
The two of them got married and welcomed a daughter, but the family wanted them to have another child, which would form a "good" word.
However, the arrival of a child is not something that can be achieved at the first order, the key lies in fate. Although the couple was a little anxious, they never got their wish.
In 2000, Wang Cuiying was 34 years old, and they no longer had any hope of having a second child, only hoping that their only daughter could fight for them.
Wang Cuiying later went to the hospital for examination due to physical discomfort and was found to be suffering from ascites. After consulting with their husbands, they decided to go to the hospital for acceptance**.
Wang Cuiying immediately went through the discharge procedures after ** and returned home to start recuperation. And it was during this time that she suddenly had an appetite, although they didn't think it through, just thinking that it was a nutritional supplement needed for the weak body.
Following the doctor's advice, they went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up and unexpectedly found out that they were pregnant. Upon learning the news, the couple was both worried and happy.
They finally welcomed their second child, which they had been looking forward to for many years, which made them happy. However, Wang Cuiying took so many medicines, and they were worried about whether it would cause harm to the child. In addition, considering that she is already an advanced maternal age, giving birth is also a challenge for her.
The doctor's next words made the couple even more scared, because Wang Cuiying was pregnant with four children. Considering that the couple's economic conditions are not wealthy, having four more children will make the family even worse.
The doctor told them not to be nervous, and that when they were scared, the probability of multiple babies surviving was very low, and that they might have a spontaneous abortion in April or May.
Wang Cuiying had just undergone surgery, which was not suitable for an immediate abortion. If you are worried, you can choose to go to a major hospital for fetal reduction surgery, which will greatly reduce the risk of childbirth.
Time passed day by day, and Wang Cuiying watched her belly get bigger and bigger like a balloon, but the fetus inside was safe and sound, without the slightest sign of flowing out.
The couple had to go to a major hospital in Beijing to have a fetal reduction operation, but the doctor told them that the fetus had passed the best time for fetal reduction surgery and that the months were too big.
Moreover, Wang Cuiying is pregnant with quintuplets, probably in the previous prenatal checkup, there was a baby who hid in the back naughtily and was not found.
After discussing it, the couple decided that since the doctor recommended this, it was better to give birth to all five children, after all, there was no better choice now.
However, they still underestimate the hardships of conceiving quintuplets. When Wang Cuiying was 5 months pregnant, her belly became so large that she couldn't even see her toes when she stood up. Because the stomach is too heavy, getting out of bed and walking has become a big problem.
The fetus was constantly squeezing Wang Cuiying's organs, causing her to be in extreme pain during pregnancy, and she could not even eat, so she could only fall asleep on her knees.
The doctor believes that Wang Cuiying is seven months pregnant and must be hospitalized immediately for a caesarean section, and cannot delay any longer, otherwise it will pose a danger to the safety of the mother and baby.
The doctors in the hospital were on standby on March 4, 2002, while the husband outside the operating room was worried. Fortunately, the operation went well, and five children – three girls and two boys – were born safely.
Just when the couple was relaxing, the doctor told them that the second child was in a very bad condition, suffering from colitis, and needed to pay a large amount of fees.
Wang Cuiying and her husband couldn't stand watching their newborn child, and they did whatever it took to raise money for the operation. Unexpectedly, however, problems followed one after another.
The second child has not yet **, and the third child has suffered from jaundice, and the fourth child has also been diagnosed with heart disease, which is simply worse for Wang Cuiying and his wife.
The couple did not hesitate to break the bank for the sake of the child, and were even willing to go bankrupt, but fortunately, their expectations finally came true, and the child was discharged from the hospital safely, and no one witnessed the child leave.
The incident left the couple with a deep desire for their children to grow up safely, so they named each of their five children ......
Fuqing, Fusen, Fuli, Fuxin, Fuyuan.
Wang Cuiying did not expect that the safety of the child was only the first problem faced by the couple, and the next life would be an even more headache for them.
Wang Cuiying's breast milk is far from meeting the needs of her five children, and she has spent all her family's savings for the treatment of her children, and she has a lot of debts, and now she can't even afford milk powder.
He worked hard every day, from morning till night, trying to make money, but for his five children, his efforts were almost insignificant. At the same time, Wang Cuiying has to take care of five children every day, which is really exhausting.
In desperation, the couple had to send their children to relatives for foster care, leaving the second and fourth children who were weak, so as to reduce some of the burden on Wang Cuiying.
Wang Cuiying, who has attracted attention for giving birth to the country's first quintuplets, saw the difficulties faced by a milk powder factory that offered to provide them with the milk powder they needed for free.
With the help of the well-wishers, the family's life has finally become easier, and the children have returned home one after another. However, as time went on, another difficult question quickly appeared in front of them.
The five children have reached school age, and as parents, they want their children to receive a good education, but Wang Cuiying and his wife cannot afford it.
At that time, a kindergarten in Beijing invited them to visit. After discussion between the two, they finally decided that Wang Cuiying would go to Beijing with the quintuplets, while Bao Cun planned to go out to work to make money.
The couple began to live separately, Wang Cuiying came to Beijing with her children to go to school, but she was not idle, because she only had a degree, so she could only find a job as a cleaner.
They can barely cover their monthly expenses with the money they earn each month. In these difficult days, the only thing that makes the couple feel comfortable is the children. Teachers often praise the five children for being well-behaved and sensible at school.
Wang Cuiying was also very distressed when she saw the child so obedient. She wants to do everything she can to give her children a better life, so she not only picks up waste after work.
Perhaps the only thing that worries Wang Cuiying is her husband, the couple have been separated for a long time and can only see each other during the Chinese New Year, which makes her suspicious and worried that her husband will change his mind.
Despite her doubts, she never took the time to communicate with her husband, and the matter was put on hold until 2008, when the Beijing Olympics were to be held, and there would be five Fuwa in the Olympics.
Wang Cuiying's five children happen to have the word blessing, which is really destined fate. As a result, they were invited to the torch relay ceremony and became the youngest Olympic ambassadors.
As more people began to pay attention to their family, many kind-hearted people have launched donations and material donations in the hope of improving their living conditions.
They also had the opportunity to participate in the show, and in 2016, Wang Cuiying participated in "Mamma Mia" and sang "Listen to Mom" with four other children, which moved the audience to tears.
It was through this show that Wang Cuiying realized her husband's hard work, although they lived separately, her husband did not change his mind and has been working hard for the family.
In order to earn more money, he delivered goods to factories during the day and worked part-time as a security guard at night. It can be said that he works 24 hours a day. Although it was hard work, it paid off, and the family's foreign debts have basically been paid off.
Over the years, part of the money he earned was used to pay off debts, and part of it was used to save for his eldest daughter as a dowry. By 2017, the quintuplets were in high school, and the eldest daughter was married.
Just when her life was starting to improve, she didn't expect bad news from her husband to come suddenly. He fell ill due to prolonged exertion, and the doctors, despite their best efforts, could not save his life.
Wang Cuiying endured the sadness in her heart, because she knew that once she fell, the family would lose support, and her five children were also very sensible and understood their mother's hard work.
In order to save money, they choose cheap food, and in addition to studying, they also try to help the family with housework and reduce the burden on their mothers.
In 2020, except for the second child, the other four children have reached the age of the college entrance examination, and all of them have successfully passed the undergraduate line and been admitted to the university.
In an interview with reporters, Wang Cuiying admitted that she regretted it, and she said that if she could do it all over again, she would not have these five children, not because she disliked them, but because she didn't want them to suffer with her.
Epilogue. She undoubtedly wanted the best for her children, but she was unable to do so, which made her regret that she had five children because she could not give them a superior life.
I saw the greatness of Wang Cuiying's maternal love, and everything she did would definitely have a good return, because the bitterness was sweet.
