In 2020, a post-90s couple living in seclusion in the mountains and forests in Guangxi became popular.
Not for anything else, just because they had 10 children in a row in the 12 years after they got married.
Netizens are curious, as a post-90s generation, why do they have so many children? How did the two of them feed such a large family?
In 2020, someone visited in the mountains of Guangxi and accidentally found a post-90s couple living in seclusion in the depths of the mountains.
What was even more unexpected to him was that the couple had lived in the depths of the mountains for more than ten years and had 10 children.
The deserted mountains don't even have a way to walk, how do more than a dozen people live here?
With all sorts of curiosities and questions, the visitor decided to interview the couple and record their story so that more people could know about it.
The couple has been married for 12 years, the husband's name is Wei Guoze, and the wife's name is Meng Xiuping, both of whom are born in the 90s.
To say that their acquaintance is indeed due to fate, they met when they were working in Dongguan, and decided to get married after dating for a while.
Because, at that time, they were not yet the legal age for marriage in the country, so the two decided to hold a wedding first.
After marriage, Meng Xiuping followed her husband to live in his hometown. In the second year of their marriage, their first child was born.
In the following 12 years, they gave birth to one almost every year, and Meng Xiuping's stomach never seemed to be empty, and she gave birth to 10 children.
Such a large family, living in the 21st century, lives a farming life of "male farmer and female weaver".
They lived in three simple wooden huts made of wooden planks with plastic sheeting and thatch, and when it rained, it rained heavily outside and lightly inside.
Sometimes, if there is a strong wind or rain, several wooden houses are crumbling and unsafe.
Near the wooden house, a lot of corn was planted, which was the ration of more than a dozen members of this family, and Wei Guoze and his wife were only about 30 years old, but they were dark, and there was an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes written on their faces.
Especially his wife, Meng Xiuping, I don't know if she is malnourished or has given birth to too many children, her eyes are deep-set, her expression is tired, and she looks like she is forty or fifty years old.
And those children, one by one, also looked yellow and thin, and they were wearing dirty and tattered clothes.
The family had a very hard life, and it was hard to imagine how they survived.
Later, the visitor posted his interview with Wei Guoze and Meng Xiuping on the Internet, but he didn't expect this move to directly make the couple popular.
You must know that many people who are about the same age as them are still thinking about getting married later and having children later, Dink or having fewer children. And this post-90s couple got married early and gave birth to 10 children in a row.
Nowadays, this can be said to be a rarity. People are very curious, why did Wei Guoze and Meng Xiuping have so many children?How did they feed these 10 children in the past?
Wei Guoze was born in rural Guangxi, and was adopted to his adoptive parents' home at a very young age, and the family had a difficult life, so he went to work in other places after graduating from junior high school.
Meng Xiuping's father died very early, and her mother could not afford her school expenses alone, so she basically never went to school and went out to work early to earn a living.
In 2007, they met in the factory, similar experiences and the identity of Guangxi villagers, and the two quickly fell in love.
During the Chinese New Year, they went home together to meet their parents and told them their idea of getting married. **Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan At that time, the two were not of legal age for marriage, so they did not get a license, but invited some relatives to have a simple wedding at home.
In the second year after marriage, the two had their first child, his wife Meng Xiuping took care of the children in his hometown, and Wei Guo went to Shenzhen alone to make a living.
In Shenzhen, Wei Guo is the hardest and most tiring construction worker, but fortunately, the income of this job is okay, he can earn about 200 yuan a day, and he can earn five or six thousand a month.
He goes home twice a year, once for farming and once for the Chinese New Year. The two cherish the opportunity to get together, and they will stick together for a few days together.
In this way, Meng Xiuping's stomach is not idle, and a new member is added to the family almost every year.
As there are more and more children, Wei Guoze and Meng Xiuping's burden is heavier.
In order to save money, Wei Guo built a house in the mountains, and planted some corn around the house, basically relying on the sky for food.
And every time Meng Xiuping gave birth, she was not born in the hospital, but by Wei Guoze's adoptive mother, and the delivery tools were very simple, only a pair of scissors and a rag.
Later, Meng Xiuping was even proficient enough to be able to complete the delivery by herself.
In 2019, Wei Guoze's adoptive mother died, and there was one less person who could have helped take care of the child, and Wei Guoze had no choice but to return to his hometown in Guangxi and do odd jobs in the town to support his family.
Naturally, the income of a small town is not comparable to that of a big city, and the life of this large family has become more difficult.
Wei Guo once told his interviewers that although life is sad now, he must provide for his children to study, preferably in college.
But everyone is curious, since life is so difficult, why did the couple have so many children to increase the burden on themselves?
Behind this, it is not only related to the perception of the locals, but also related to Wei Guoze's experience.
In the rural areas where Wei Guoze lived, "more children and more blessings" was a common perception among the locals, and although the family planning policy had been implemented for decades at the time, there were still several children in local households.
In their opinion, the child can be raised by the poor and the rich, and if he is raised, he is a laborer, and he can help the family in the future.
And Wei Guoze's personal experience also boosted his idea of having more children.
Originally, Wei Guo had several brothers and sisters, but he was the only one who was passed on to his adoptive parents, so he was alone.
When he was a child, he was often bullied by other peers because he was alone, and no one wanted to play with him, so he had a lonely childhood.
Every time I was bullied and isolated, he always thought to himself: If I live with my brothers and sisters, they will definitely help me not to be bullied, and they will definitely play with me.
This idea continued after he got married, he didn't want his children to follow his own old path, and hoped that they would have siblings to play with from an early age, and someone to help them when things happened.
Of course, in addition, the reason why the two have more children is because their education level is relatively low, and they don't know how to use contraception at all.
It's just that I didn't expect these two to give birth to 10 in one go.
In fact, the local village committee has long discovered the problem of their superbirth, and in order to encourage eugenics, the village committee also distributed family planning supplies to them, but the couple has never seen these things, and they don't know how to use them at all.
In this way, they gave birth to more and more children, and finally gave birth to 10 before giving up.
After the story of Wei Guoze and his wife became known, someone came to find them, hoping to adopt their child and let the child live a worry-free life.
But the kindness of these people was rejected by Wei Guoze, he didn't want his children to be lonely like he was adopted, he hoped to give his children a good future by himself.
The idea is very good, but can Wei Guoze really do it by himself?
Because Wei Guoze and Meng Xiuping's family conditions are indeed too difficult, the local ** has already extended a helping hand to them.
** I applied for the subsistence allowance for them, and each of their families can get a subsidy of 350 yuan per month, and the family can probably get about 4,000 yuan.
This money is a huge relief for them and has made a big difference in their lives.
Because the wooden house they live in is in a dilapidated and dangerous way, thereforeThe local ** also applied for a brand new house of more than 150 square meters for them.
This is a two-story building, many times better than the grass house on the mountain, and the family finally does not have to live a life of wind and rain.
However, such a good house made Wei Guoze's family feel insecure, they still thought about the wooden house on the mountain, and Wei Guoze would move back with his wife to live for a while from time to time.
Later, the simple wooden house was classified as a dilapidated house by the local **, and in order to avoid accidents, it could only be forcibly demolished, which allowed Wei Guoze and his wife to live in the new house with peace of mind.
Wei Guoze's ten children also received special care from the local **. Many of these children are "black households" without hukou and have never even gone to school.
After learning about the situation, the local ** immediately sent these children to school. At the same time, it was promised that all tuition and fees would be waived for the children until they finished high school.
Wei Guo was very excited, because he and his wife just suffered the loss of being uneducated, so they couldn't find any good jobs and couldn't change their lives.
Now that the dolls have started school, their future will definitely be better than their own.
These children, who finally got the opportunity to go to school, also cherished their time at school, and the older children studied very hard and were always at the top of their class.
They believe that they can change their fate and make this family better and better through hard work.
After the promulgation of the "three-child" policy by the state, the issue of childbirth has always been a social issue of great concern.
Because of the rapid changes in the social economy, many new ideas have emerged, and many young people do not want to get married or have children, they feel that in this way, they can live their own lives, and the whole family will not go hungry.
Behind this idea is the high cost of marriage, high housing prices and the "rolled" parenting style, many young people are overwhelmed by life and have no time to think about other issues.
It is in this situation that Wei Guoze still firmly believes in "more children and more blessings", and gave birth to 10 children, which is indeed rare now, and it is no wonder that it has attracted so much attention.
It can only be said that he lives in China and has the best good policy to help, otherwise the fate of him and these children is really unpredictable.
Without the help of the state, these children would probably repeat the mistakes of the couple, trapped in the mountains, relying on the sky for food, and getting poorer and poorer.
Nowadays, in order to encourage young people to have babies, the state has responded to policies in education, housing, medical care and other aspects, just to let young people dare to have babies, rather than let families be trapped in life.
Of course, while responding to national policies, young people should also consider their own affordability, eugenics, and children's education, so that the family can live a better life.
