After a moment's consideration, Chen Shuifeng agreed. Tian Yaping immediately wrote a letter of authorization: "I hereby authorize Ms. Chen Shuifeng to take care of my daughter, Tian Tian," and promised to give Chen Shuifeng 400 yuan per month as wages.
Tan Zemin, who was in the same ward as Tian Tian, also bought them boxed meals multiple times. "These days, she has been with Tian Tian, I think she is amazing," said Tan Zemin.
Welcome to post comments, I want to comment.
Payment: She spent all her savings and borrowed over 30,000 yuan.
Such payment also earned Tian Tian's love. Chen Shuifeng said that the first word Tian Tian learned to say was "grandma." Occasionally when she shed tears, Tian Tian would wipe away her tears and say, "Grandma, don't cry. When I grow up, I will buy you lots of delicious food."
Touched: The first word Tian Tian learned to say was "grandma."
"Can you help me take care of my daughter for a while?" the man asked. After some conversation, Chen Shuifeng learned that the man was named Tian Yaping. His daughter had just been born for over a month. Due to disputes with his wife about divorce, Tian Yaping planned to work in Guangdong. Someone told him that Chen Shuifeng was good at taking care of children, so he intended to leave his daughter with Chen Shuifeng.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Tian turned two years old, and Chen Shuifeng sent her to kindergarten. Not long after, Tian Tian started having repeated fevers and coughs. A hospital check revealed that Tian Tian had contracted bronchopneumonia.
Over the years, many people have advised Chen Shuifeng, saying this child was not hers, and with poor health, it would be better to send her away early. But she said that after four years of care, there might be no blood relation, but there is certainly affection.
The other day, in the ward of Hunan Children's Hospital, Chen Shuifeng was helping Tian Tian (a pseudonym) dress while blowing up balloons for her. Photo by reporter Hua Jian.
For Chen Shuifeng, Tian Yaping was grateful. "First, I need to find a way to repay the money she borrowed." He indicated that in the future, he would treat Chen Shuifeng as family, like a real mother.
Doctor Yang Ting from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Hunan Children's Hospital said that on June 22nd, Tian Tian was hospitalized again due to bronchopneumonia. In fact, Tian Tian's condition was not severe, but due to long-term illness and malnutrition, her resistance was weak, resulting in poor physical condition.
That day, Chen Shuifeng took Tian Tian from Tian Yaping's hands and cared for her for four years. "For the first two years, except for her father not paying me wages many times, everything else was fine," Chen Shuifeng said. Tian Tian was very obedient, not crying or making a fuss, and did not eat much. Therefore, despite the lack of compensation, she continued to raise Tian Tian. Moreover, she believed that by the end of the year, Tian Yaping would always come back.
Relief: Tian Tian's biological father finally showed up.
"I really have no other options," Tian Yaping said softly. Both his parents passed away early, and he had no other relatives to turn to for help.
Tian Yaping said that currently, he and his wife have reconciled. "She also misses her daughter, but she gets carsick easily, so I didn't let her come along."
Upon hearing her children's opinions, Chen Shuifeng only sighed and said that she would continue to persevere. "The biggest difficulty lies in not being able to afford medical expenses anymore."
At 1 p.m., after finishing her meal, Tian Tian yawned several times before falling asleep in her grandma's arms for a nap. After putting Tian Tian to sleep, Chen Shuifeng picked up the leftover boxed meal and began her lunch.
Due to her frail body, Tian Tian often fell ill. Over these years, Chen Shuifeng took Tian Tian everywhere for treatment, spending all her more than 70,000 yuan retirement savings and borrowing another 30,000 yuan.
○ Four years ago, the employer handed his daughter over to nanny Chen Shuifeng for care and then went out to work; to treat the girl, Chen Shuifeng spent all her savings and borrowed more than 30,000 yuan.
But Chen Shuifeng's children do not fully understand their mother's actions. Chen Shuifeng and her husband had three children. After her husband passed away, her children established their own families. For most of the time afterward, she lived alone. Therefore, during the initial period of caring for Tian Tian, her children were unaware that their mother had taken on such a task.
Tian Yaping said that he also had an 8-year-old son. After entrusting Tian Tian to Chen Shuifeng, he went to Guangdong. Two years later, he returned to Yongzhou and found a job, occasionally visiting his daughter at Chen Shuifeng's home. In March this year, he learned about his daughter's condition, but because of his "low salary," he was powerless to help.
Chen Shuifeng's care for Tian Tian could be described as meticulous. When Tian Tian had persistent high fever and needed to sleep on an ice bed, Chen Shuifeng also slept with her under the covers, "It was cold, but the baby needs grandma." Later, Tian Tian's fever subsided, but Chen Shuifeng fell ill - she had a cold and had to receive six days of injections.
Chen Shuifeng's actions moved many people. During Tian Tian's hospital stay, a Ms. Tang paid several thousand yuan for medical fees and gave her old clothes to Tian Tian.
Fortunately, a few days ago, Tian Tian's father, Tian Yaping, finally showed up at the hospital and paid 3,000 yuan for medical expenses.
Many people advised Chen Shuifeng to give Tian Tian away, but she believed that although they had no blood relation, they shared feelings. "Whoever can cure Tian Tian, I am willing to work for free for ten years." This report by journalist Yang Lu from Changsha.
Chen Shuifeng is a domestic service worker from Xintian County, Yongzhou City, and is 55 years old this year. On July 15, 2007, while she was busy at home, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, she saw a man holding a baby standing outside.
Worries: Family doesn't fully understand, unable to pay medical expenses anymore.
Chen Shuifeng's behavior moved many people. During Tian Tian's hospitalization, a Ms. Tang paid several thousand yuan for her medical expenses and brought used clothes from her home to give to Tian Tian.

Four years ago, the employer handed his daughter over to nanny Chen Shuifeng for care and then went out to work. To treat the girl, Chen Shuifeng spent all her savings and borrowed over 30,000 yuan.
Four years later, Chen Shuifeng is no longer able to continue paying for the girl's medical expenses. Some people advised her to send the child away, but she feels "there may be no blood relation, but there is certainly affection."
