An incredible picture has been circulated on the mainland Internet. There are three girls with doll figures and adult faces. Each of them is sitting in a basin, like carefully trimmed “potted dolls”. However, they are not. Not children, but 3 adult sisters. Normally, parents do not have more children to avoid passing on genetic diseases to the next generation. Unexpectedly, mother Jiang Tinglan decided to have her fourth child and seemed to have no fear.

According to comprehensive mainland media reports, Jiang Tinglan has lived in a Xiaozhai Village in Yunyang, Chongqing for many years. Her eldest daughter Peng Yan often suffered fractures when she was more than 1 year old. Xiaozhai Village is located in a remote location, 10 kilometers from the nearest town. In addition, the village doctors do not understand the disease “Osteogenesis Imperfecta”, so they can only reattach the bones to their original positions; an endless “connection and disconnection cycle” Peng Yan’s bones gradually deformed, eventually causing her limbs to fail to develop normally, like withered branches.

Jiang Tinglan was worried that her second child would be like her eldest daughter, so she went to various hospitals for B-ultrasound examinations when she was pregnant. The results showed that the baby’s development was normal. Although the second daughter Peng Jiangqiu also suffered intermittent fractures when she was born, her condition is much better than Peng Yan, and she can at least use crutches to walk. The family thought that Peng Jiangqiu would only have difficulty walking at most and would still be able to grow up healthily, but tragedy struck once more.

When Peng Jiangqiu was 6 years old, he fell while running home from school because of rain. He has been unable to stand since then. What is even more tragic is that Peng Jiangqiu also has a sister Peng Jiangdan who is 3 years younger. She also suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta and has been suffering from the disease since she was a child. In fact, this disease is no accident. Genetic factors account for 50% of the possibility. Because the bones are extremely fragile, even if they appear to be intact, the bones may break at any time.

In order to earn money, his father Peng Boxiang accidentally fell from the third floor while repairing a house part-time. He suffered a serious brain injury and underwent abdominal surgery. Since then, he has been unable to engage in heavy work. Jiang Tinglan has become the sole supporter of the family. She believes that the most lacking thing in rural areas is labor force, and their family not only lacks labor force, but also needs someone to take care of the four people left at home, so she plans to give birth to a fourth child.

The fourth daughter also had a dislocation problem when she just turned 1 year old, which made everyone very worried, fearing that her younger sister would make the same mistake once more. Perhaps because of God’s mercy, the fourth daughter grew up healthily. She went to school like an ordinary child and began taking care of her sisters at the age of 3. Letting her youngest daughter take care of the whole family like a half-mother, Jiang Tinglan’s inner guilt was fake. She once said, “The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, how can I not feel distressed?”
