Jia Zefang, 73, recalled 43 years ago and said, "Both my husband and his brother and sister-in-law fell ill and passed away. There was no one to take care of the three children in my brother's and sister-in-law's family. The youngest was only one and a half years old. I could onl

"It's difficult and there is no way. I can't watch three children starve to death." Jia Zefang, 73, recalled 43 years ago and said, "My husband and his brother and sister-in-law both fell ill and passed away. My brother and sister-in-law's three children No one cares anymore, the youngest is only one and a half years old, I can only take him home and raise him with my two children." At that time, Jia Zefang was working in the production team. She was a woman living with five children. She was a well-known strong woman far and wide. Seeing her difficult situation, the villagers were willing to give her and her children some help.

Jia Zefang’s family lived in Majia Maotuo, Taitou Town, Shouguang City, Shandong Province. After her husband died of illness in 1977, she was left with a son and a daughter. It is not easy for a woman to raise a son and a daughter by herself, but not long after, her husband's eldest brother and sister-in-law both passed away due to illness, leaving the three children alone. Seeing that the youngest child, Ma Pan, was just over one year old, Jia Zefang couldn't bear to see them become orphans, so she took the three children into her home, and from then on she started living with five children by herself.

Although life is difficult, the five children have grown up smoothly. Except for Jia Zefang’s eldest son Ma Panjun, who did not get married because he suffered from emphysema and epilepsy, the four children all have their own families. . Seeing that the children have grown up, Jia Zefang and Ma Panjun lived a life of dependence on each other. Due to physical reasons, Ma Panjun cannot go out to work to earn money, and can only live on the subsistence allowance provided by the government and his mother's old-age pension. Although they live in poverty, they don't have much to worry about. It wasn't until 2016 that Jia Zefang's youngest child, Ma Panggang, had health problems that the family's peaceful life was broken.

Ma Pan has been working on construction sites since he became an adult. He is a construction worker. In 2007, he married Ma Yanli, who suffered from a mental disorder. In 2008, he and his wife gave birth to their son Ma Mingze. The family of three has always lived a happy life. Because Ma Panggang, who has been physically strong since he was a child, does more work on the construction site than others. He had never had any injections or medicine since he was a child. In early 2016, he discovered that his runny nose was always bloody, and he was often accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus. Without taking it seriously, he always felt that he was in good health and could get through it, and he didn't tell anyone about it. In August 2016, he finally couldn't bear the pain in his nose and headache, so he decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. "You have advanced sinus cancer and it has spread. There is currently no good solution. Go back and look for conservative treatment. There is little point in surgery." The doctor's diagnosis of "advanced sinus cancer" made Ma Panggang feel dizzy. He, who had always been in good health, could not accept this.

Ma Pan just returned home and looked at his 8-year-old son, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. It is said that men do not shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet. Because he knew that his wife had mental problems and would definitely not be able to raise Ma Mingze alone. He was heartbroken thinking about his child's future life. After much thought, he decided to give the child to his mother, Jia Zefang, to raise him. Having grown up with Jia Zefang, he knew that his mother was kind-hearted and would definitely agree to his request. In this way, Ma Mingze, who was still ignorant of external things, began to live with his grandma. At this time, he did not know that his father was terminally ill. He only knew that his father had to see a doctor and had no time to take care of him, so he had to live with his grandma and uncle.

1 years later, in December 2017, after undergoing various chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, Ma Panggang, who had no effect, began to urinate and pull blood. He called his son back home, "You must listen to grandma, help your uncle with some housework, and study hard at school. Only by getting into a good university can you have a future..." He passed away before he finished speaking. Ma Mingze passed away. He cried sadly. At this time, he already knew that his father was terminally ill and he no longer had a father. Ma Mingze's mother, Ma Yanli, was taken away by her family after her husband died due to mental disorder. From then on, Ma Mingze lived with his second grandmother and uncle.

After the peaceful life of Jia Zefang's family was shattered, in order to earn some tuition for Ma Mingze, she had to go out to work again when she was over 70 years old.The eldest son, Ma Panjun, couldn't bear his old mother dragging her old body to work outside, so he asked the village chief to find him a job as a road sweeper, earning 1,800 yuan a month. But who knew that he suffered from emphysema and epilepsy and passed out on the street on his first day of work, foaming at the mouth and frightening passers-by. When the village chief heard the news, he rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said that his body could not support him from doing strenuous exercise, so he could only take medicine and rest at home. At this point, Jia Zefang's family has no source of income and can only rely on government supplies and his own pension to support Ma Mingze's education.

When Ma Panggang was still alive, Ma Mingze's academic performance was always among the best. Perhaps because his father's death was a huge blow to him, Ma Mingze's grades began to slip, and his second wife and uncle were unable to provide him with guidance in his studies. "The baby wants to study. Even if we eat less and borrow money, we still have to support him. This is also the father's wish. But now it is difficult for him to study, and we are worried. I am already over 70, but I can still live. A few years. His uncle is not in good health, so he has to study hard." Whenever he talks about Ma Mingze's studies, the always optimistic old man has a sad look on his face. #happydoinggood deeds#
