"It's all my fault that I insisted on giving birth to the child, but failed to give him a healthy body." Looking at his silent son Peng Guibo sitting next to him, Liu Gangqin's face was filled with tears.
Liu Gangqin comes from Zhaotong, Yunnan. Her family has relied on farming for generations to make a living. Although they are not rich, she and her husband are hardworking and capable, and their lives are getting better and better. After many years of marriage, the couple had been looking forward to having a child of their own. In early 2017, 35-year-old Liu Gangqin finally became pregnant. This news made her husband happy.
In order to provide her children with better living conditions, Liu Gangqin insisted on working as a warehouse clerk in a company during her pregnancy. Perhaps due to overwork, she developed bleeding symptoms at two months. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told her that she had bleeding symptoms. Signs of miscarriage frightened the couple. In order to keep the hard-won child, Liu Gangqin and her husband discussed and decided to be hospitalized for miscarriage. They stayed there for more than 30 days before the situation finally improved.

After experiencing this episode, Liu Gangqin was more cautious than before, for fear of losing the child in her belly if she was not careful. Due to her frail body and advanced maternal age, she basically had to go to the hospital to receive oxygen once a week. Although the process was difficult, fortunately, her child has been growing up healthily, which made Liu Gangqin feel that all the hard work was worth it.
On November 28, 2017, my son Peng Guibo was born. After ten months of anticipation, the child was finally born. From the fear and fear in the early stages of pregnancy, the big stone in her heart was finally relieved. Liu Gangqin ignored the fatigue of childbirth and looked at her sleeping son beside her with a smile on her face. Full of happy tears. There is nothing more gratifying than the safe birth of a child. For her, the best happiness in the world is being a family together.

As the days passed, everything went smoothly as Liu Gangqin expected, and it seemed that everything was moving in a better and better direction. When Guibo was nearly one year old, she could vaguely call out "Dad" and "Mom", which pleased Liu Gangqin and her husband. The joy of being a parent could dilute all the hardships and fatigue. But what she didn't expect was that God would At this moment, a bucket of cold water will be poured on them, plunging their family into endless despair.

In May 2019, Liu Gangqin discovered that one-and-a-half-year-old Guibo was no longer talkative and did not respond when his family called him. At first, he thought it was because the child was obsessed with playing. However, the longer the time went by, the more serious the symptoms became, and he would not even interact with others. He watched, and his mood became very irritable. Fearing that something would happen to the child, Liu Gangqin and her husband discussed it and took the child to the hospital in Kunming. After examination, the doctor told them that the child's developmental delay was likely to lead to autism. The news was like a bolt from the blue. "Doctor, can you take a closer look? He is usually very smart, how could he get this disease?" Liu Gangqin held the doctor's hand tightly, hoping that everything in front of him was just an illusion, but the reality is It's so cruel that people have no power to resist.

According to the doctor's advice, the couple went through hospitalization procedures for their child, hoping to help the child recover through rehabilitation training and drug treatment. After being hospitalized, the cost of treatment for a day was nearly a thousand yuan, which was unaffordable for ordinary families like them. The couple spent all their family savings, but they could only maintain treatment for a very short period of time. "My husband had no choice but to go out to work. In addition to taking care of the children in the hospital, I also worked part-time jobs to maintain basic living. But the speed of making money was far faster than the speed of spending." Liu Gangqin said that they could no longer support it soon. Out of helplessness, she could only prescribe some medicine in the hospital and take Guibo home to recuperate. When
was at home, her husband worked hard to earn money. Liu Gangqin took care of the children while farming and doing odd jobs. As long as it was a profitable job, she was not afraid of it no matter how hard or tiring it was.Since the child was still young and unattended, she would tie the child to her back with a piece of cloth every time she went out to work. She would feed the child first during lunch, and then eat the rest after the child was full. The neighbors saw that their family was really pitiful, and occasionally I will help her take care of the children.

After more than half a year of hard work, the couple saved enough money. In order for their child to receive better treatment and live like a normal child in the future, they took Guibo to Guangzhou Children's Hospital and Angel Children's Hospital for detailed examinations. Although she had been examined in the previous hospital, Liu Gangqin still had expectations in her heart, hoping to get a satisfactory result. However, the three big words " autism " on the diagnosis certificate shattered all her illusions. .
The doctor told them that the child's illness was most likely caused by the mother's physical weakness and lack of oxygen during pregnancy, which made Liu Gangqin fall into deep self-blame. "It's all my fault that I insisted on giving birth to him, but failed to give him a healthy body." She sat slumped in the corridor of the hospital and cried over and over again. But no matter what, life has to go on, and no matter how hard or tiring it is, we still have to treat our children.

Today, Guibo is still receiving rehabilitation treatment every day. Although it is intermittent, it has finally achieved some results. His temper is not as bad as before, and he is much more obedient. In recent years, in order to treat her children, Liu Gangqin has spent all her family's savings and owed hundreds of thousands in foreign debt. "When I can't hold on, I also have the idea of giving up, but when I see the child's chubby little face, I feel infinite strength rising in my heart." Liu Gangqin said that as long as she lives, she will keep working hard until the child is well. The day I got up. Dahe's original work is prohibited from being reproduced without authorization.
