Viral: 76-Year-Old Chinese Mother Who Gave Birth to Twins at 60 Shares Her Difficult Life Journey
A 76-year-old Chinese woman who became China's oldest mother after giving birth to twins at 60 following her daughter's death now supports her family by livestreaming health products and parenting advice to nearly a million followers.
A 76-year-old Chinese woman is making headlines again after becoming famous in 2010 for being China's oldest mother to give birth to twins at age 60. Zeng Hailin had suffered the loss of her only daughter and son-in-law to carbon monoxide poisoning in 2009, which motivated her decision to pursue IVF treatment despite significant health risks during pregnancy, including severe swelling and bleeding. She successfully delivered twin daughters named Zhuozuo and Huihui in 2010.
Life after their birth proved difficult, with substantial expenses for childcare, education, and extracurricular activities putting strain on the family, even with her husband being a former university professor and herself having served as a hospital director.
After her husband suffered a stroke in 2016 and passed away in 2022, Zeng was also defrauded of over 2 million yuan (approximately 10 million baht) in investments. However, she refused to give up. At age 73, she began livestreaming on Chinese platforms, selling health products and household items while sharing parenting tips and health advice. She gained nearly one million followers and earned the affectionate nickname "Mother Zeng" from her fans.
Zeng has become an inspiration to many parents who have lost children, often speaking about persevering through life's challenges and adapting to her teenage daughters by learning new things and keeping up with current trends. She has expressed pride in being a mother and hopes to live beyond 100 years old to watch her daughters grow up and thrive.
