They’d lost, a LOT in their lives before, and now, fate had, blessed them again, from the Newspapers, translated…

The villagers from Hsiaoling, Chen and Cheng, who were a married couple, whose three children died in the typhoon seven years ago. The couple decided, to “have their babies back again”, they’d undergone four failures of in vitro fertilization, and finally, they were able to have twin boys at the end of this October. The hospital hosted a month-old birthday celebration for the children yesterday, and the twenty villagers from Hsiaoling made their way especially, to congratulate them.

Chen recalled, that six years ago, before Typhoon Morakot came, he and his wife asked his elderly mother to look after their fifteen, fourteen and ten year old children, and they’d hurried off, to check on his father who’s a farmer in the mountains of Namasha; but, the entire village was, buried by the landslides, a total of 462 villagers who lived there had all died, and he’d lost FOUR loved ones on that day.

Chen said, that his three children were all well-behaved, he and his wife wanted to have their children back again, but back then, his wife was almost forty, that it would be, difficult, for her to get pregnant naturally, so, they’d decided to seek out fertility treatment procedures.

Cheng, his wife had endured through TWO failures in her in vitro fertilizations, had an ectoplasmic pregnancy, she’d had tubal ligations; when Chen had been confirmed to be in the third stage of colon cancer, and needed chemotherapy. In order to have his children, he’d had his sperms saved before his chemotherapy, and went through the in vitro procedures, but, it’d, failed four times continually.

In order to have children successfully, Chen went around and asked the deities, last year, he’d gone to the Queen of Heavens’ Temple, and the deities pointed him toward “north”, and, the documentary film maker who was tracking the stories of the Shaoling Village suggested that he seeks out help from the well-known gynecologists up north, Lee.

Chen said, that back then, he’d felt, really unsettled, because he feared another failure, and that they may not be able to pay for the high costs. But thankfully, as Dr. Lee learned of his story, he’d decided, to “help give new life to the village of Shaoling” free of charge, and the couple’s hopes were, rekindled.

They were pregnant with twins successfully by the end of this March, “This, is the first fetus, the heart’s beating, the second fetus’s eyes, nose………”, hearing the doctor explained the images of the 4D photos, Chen was filled with tears.

During Cheng’s pregnancy, she’d dreamed about her three lost children, as the twins were born, the older brother had a circular face, very steady and stable, the younger brother, with a pointy face and is very active, Chen told, that their twin boys resembled that of their two sons who’d died, felt, “We really DID manage, to have them back again,”, yesterday, they’d kneeled in front of the gynecologist, for helping their dreams come true.

And so, this, is how the tragic deaths of these young children didn’t end up so tragically, because there were people who’d shown this couple kindness, who’d wanted to help them with their losses, and, with the help of modern day medical advances, the couple was able to have their children.
