"Do you believe in miracles?”
When Liu Haiyan asked this question with a surprised face, her husband He Yindong was already sitting on the ground, tears overflowing the desolation in his heart. It was supposed to be an ordinary night, and a fellow was just a casual joke, but it set off a huge wave in their lives.
Many years ago, their son had obviously "died". But now that he has miraculously come back to life, the question istheir sonsIs it dead or not?
On April 22, 2003, in a maternity hospital in Longpan Town, Nanchong City, Liu Haiyan was holding her husband's hand and was about to give birth to their first child. The 10-month wait overjoyed them.
However, the results of the B-ultrasound examination made the attending doctor Du Lifen show a solemn expression. She told He Yindong and Liu Haiyan that the fetus is walking a tightrope at any time because of hydrocephalus, and even if it survives, it will have stunted brain development and is a child with dementia. When the truth hit the couple's hearts like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Liu Haiyan covered her face and cried bitterly, while He Yindong couldn't say a word, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing that the flesh and blood that was about to be born had become a dying disability, this despair and pain intensified He Yindong's self-blame. He has always regarded earning money to support his family as his only responsibility, but he has forgotten to take care of his wife's physical condition. It was he who worked outside the home all year round, ignoring the needs of pregnant women at home and being closely related to malnutrition. At this moment, he was so exhausted that he could only hold his wife's hand and say over and over again, "There will be a miracle!".Anyway, we want this child!”
The baby boy was born weighing 37kg, which looks no different from ordinary people. However, the results of the examinations at major hospitals were nothing more than Dr. Du's expectations, which deepened the couple's despair. He Yindong comforted his wife to rest, but he couldn't sleep all night, he was anxious about his son's incurable disease, and he was sad that he was greedy for small profits and insisted on working outside, which led to the result that one person did something wrong and everyone suffered today. In the future, no matter what the house is, I must first accompany my wife and children. In this way, the life and safety of the baby son will not be slaughtered, and he is worthy of Liu Haiyan's hard work in the countryside over the years.
On the third day of birth, He Yindong came to the hospital for a follow-up examination with the baby in his arms. What awaits him is the bad news that "the child has become sicker and passed away". He Yindong only had time to get the death certificate issued by the doctor, and then left disheartened, never looking back.
At the same time, at the entrance of the hospital, Ren Guoping's wife, Qingmei, rushed to buy seeds and seedlings for seasonal crops. Early risers watched a baby abandoned in the corner, moaning sickly. Qingmei looked at the child, her heart was full of sympathy, and she decided to take him home.
Qingmei knew it might be a gift from heaven — years of infertility had left her heartbroken countless times. Her husband, Ren Guoping, also readily agreed, and they quickly went through the adoption procedures. Although well-wishers advised them to abandon the child, who was mostly disabled, the couple did not hesitate. Some people ridiculed, saying that "getting old is tantamount to raising pigs and dogs".
But Ren Guoping decided that this was an opportunity for God to reward him, allowing him and his wife to make up for their childless life. A dying baby, but it gives endless hope to two middle-aged people. They didn't know that this child was the son of He Yindong, who was pronounced dead three days after birth.
For more than three years, Ren Guoping and his wife poured out their bags to treat this miraculously reborn child, hoping that he could grow up healthily every day. Ren Guoping took care of all the farm work, and often went out to work to earn money. Qingmei, who has a meager retirement salary, takes care of this young child all day long. She is a skilled cook and determined to nourish this young life with the most hearty food. After hard work, the child's condition gradually improved, and Ren Guoping and his wife were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together.
In June 2006, He Yindong and his wife returned to their hometown to visit relatives. An old acquaintance inadvertently said that there was a boy in the neighboring village who was carved out of the same mold as He Yindong.
Liu Haiyan disagreed, thinking it was just nonsense. But the fellow solemnly took out the **, and the facial features of the child on it were exactly the same as He Yindong's, and even the smile was so similar. Looking at the child who looked the same as her husband, Liu Haiyan had that terrifying guess in her mind - * It is clearly a boy about 3 years old, with He Yindong's age in his early 30s, this is clearly an illegitimate child born of an affair!
So, for this sudden "lightning and thunder", Liu Haiyan almost fought with her husband on the spot. This baby boy, who was pampered by himself for 10 months and was supposed to be the baby of the family, turned out to be a "stand-in" in the hands of others because of her husband's affair. This made Liu Haiyan's heart dig like a knife, and she asked He Yindong with a trembling voice, asking him to understand what was going on with this child.
No matter how He Yindong wailed, "I don't dare to have an extramarital affair when the sky thunders", Liu Haiyan is still angry. She knows her husband's temper too well, and this person is unreasonable when he becomes stubborn. Then under his sincere weeping appearance, there must be a more unspeakable truth.
In the end, the two decided to go back to their hometown to investigate. Perhaps, the truth is far more incredible than they imagined.
As soon as they saw the boy in the **, He Yindong and his wife widened their eyes, and they almost didn't recognize that this was their own flesh and blood!
facial features, gestures, hairstyle, smile. This is simply a scaled-down version of He Yindong 3 years ago, and it is more accurate than the DNA test results. Liu Haiyan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, she fell to the ground, crying silently.
It turned out that the flesh and blood that I had been taught for 10 months miraculously appeared in the neighboring village, this is God's arrangement, and the child will be reunited with him healthily and happily!And He Yindong was so excited that he couldn't speak, sweating profusely and stroking the child's face, which was as precious as a national treasure. For a moment, heavenly ecstasy enveloped the whole family.
The child, who was declared to have only one breath left three years ago, is now standing in front of them with excitement, and the couple is so excited that their eyes are hazy. This must be the favor of God!
However, the child's adoptive parents, Ren Guoping and Qingmei, don't think so. They were angry and ridiculed by the "fatherly love" of He Yindong and his wife - you didn't want this child with a problem in the head at the beginning, I was kind enough to adopt, worked day and night, and spent all my savings to heal, and I will accept it when I see it at this time?
They deeply hated He Yindong's family's unkindness, and they broke off the relationship with the child with the death certificate 3 years ago, but now they are rampage to take away their beloved adopted son. It has not been easy for Ren Guoping to work outside to earn money in the past few years, and he has just saved enough for a down payment to buy a house.
Now this fatal lawsuit is almost going to ruin his family. Qingmei was so angry that she was smoking, she trembled and pointed at He Yindong and scolded, such a wicked person is simply not worthy of being a father!
The words of Ren Guoping and his wife made He Yindong's heart sink. This matter is absolutely strange, the child is obviously terminally ill and dying, how can Dr. Du lie to himself?Could it be that Ren Guoping colluded with the hospital, deliberately confused the public, and abducted and sold his own children?
In July 2007, He Yindong reported Ren Guoping's family for human trafficking in real names. The police quickly intervened in the investigation, but the results exceeded everyone's expectations.
The findings reveal an incredible reality: adoptions are indeed legal. At the beginning, the doctor suggested that He Yindong give the child at risk of disability to be raised, and this was the fate of Ren Guoping and the child. He Yindong not only saw the child's body in the hospital, but also took the initiative to provide a CT report, indicating that he knew that the child was not dead.
The results of the investigation ruthlessly punctured He Yindong's disguised fatherly love. There is only one truth, he wants to regain this son who should not exist through judicial means.
Regarding the results of the investigation by the public security organs, He Yindong and his wife were naturally unwilling to give up. In October 2007, at the instigation of relatives, Liu Haiyan officially took Ren Guoping to court and seized custody of the child. The case was heard by a collegial panel composed of three senior judges and lasted for half a year. The judges also felt that the case was complex and sensitive and needed to be treated with caution. He Yindong has indisputable priority as his biological father, but Ren Guoping's nurturing feelings over the years cannot be easily denied. How do you find a balance between the two?This became the crux of the case.
As biological parents, He Yindong and his wife had an absolute advantage in legal theory, but they finally gave in and compromised. In August 2008, the court made a first-instance judgment that the child was to be raised by He Yindong, and Ren Guoping and his wife were compensated with 80,000 yuan in child support. This is undoubtedly out of the judges' consideration of the impact on society, and it is also a concession to He Yindong's position.
To the bewilderment of many villagers, the judges clearly favored He Yindong in the verdict, which fully reflected that everyone is not equal before the law. Some even wonder whether the courts have adopted a double standard because of the parties' different family backgrounds.
On September 1, Ren Guoping tearfully accepted the reality and handed over the child to the judge. He Yindong's family left the courthouse happily, but they didn't notice how reluctant and apprehensive the 4-year-old looked back at his adoptive parents.
Although the tense court battle is over, the emotional entanglement between him and the parents on both sides will continue. And that birth certificate will leave an eternal shadow in his heart. It is really unknown where fate will take him, and how to properly handle the relationship with his biological parents.
That childlike affection is as solid as a rock. Although his biological father, He Yindong, finally used the law to regain his flesh and blood, the damage he left in the child's heart could not be healed. This home, as early as the day when the adoptive parents built brick by brick and grain by grain, has been firmly rooted in the hearts of children.
Looking back at the battle between parents now, the child faintly feels that his life seems to be decided by others. But he knows that what really matters is actually his own heart. He will remember the kindness of his adoptive parents and cherish the love of his biological fatherHe will grow into a responsible, tolerant person.
Perhaps, as Ren Guoping said, all this is in God's arrangement. The miracle of life can never be seen through, but only love is the most amazing power in the world. 2023 Post Sprint Competition
