According to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Huang Weiping (74) and Tian Shinju (72), who live in Jiaozhuang City, Shandong Province, China, are raising their 5-year-old biological daughter Tianqi, who is younger than their granddaughter.
In 2018, his wife Tian collapsed from a cerebral infarction and was hospitalized, requiring long-term medication to improve blood circulation.
During her treatment, she resumed her period after about 10 years. However, about a year later, when her period stopped again with abdominal pain, she visited the hospital.
After the examination, the doctor said "A miracle happened. I'm pregnant." At that time, the couple was 68 and 67 years old.
The couple, who previously lost their son to alcoholism and have a married daughter, decided to have a spontaneous delivery after a thorough examination by the hospital.
The daughter was strongly opposed to giving birth out of concern for her health. The daughter's relationship with her parents has become estranged. At that time, the daughter already had an 18-year-old child.
In October 2019, for health reasons, Tian gave birth to a 2.56 kg daughter by caesarean section at 36 weeks of pregnancy.
Huang Wei-ping named his born daughter Tianqi, which means 'God's Gift'.
Describing himself as a 'father competing with time', he said he was doing his best to give his daughter as much love as possible while he was alive.
The couple lives on a pension of about 10,000 yuan (about 2 million won) every month. The couple said it was enough to raise Tianqi.
To play with her daughter, Hwang is also living a healthy life with exercise and regular life, and wife Tian also claimed that both her body and mind have become much younger since giving birth.
They record their parenting journey online, have 1.2 million followers and earn extra income from livestreaming.
A year ago, when his wife Tian, who injured her leg, lay down, Hwang is in charge of housework, such as cooking and taking care of his wife and young daughter.
He said his daughter's smile gives him the strength to endure.
The story of the elderly couple became a hot topic on Chinese social media.
Netizens are saying, "I'm glad to see a child growing up in a lovely family", " Is it medically possible to give birth at 67?", "I understand my daughter was against giving birth" posted comments such as.
