“In extraordinary times, we should first take care of living people, then talk about mud statues.”
One hundred and eight children were born in the loud bell of the Luohan Temple
The air we breathed for the first time
The mixture was doctors, soldiers, monks, volunteers, and countless caring people
The deep affection and friendship trembled on the top of our hearts…
North of Shifang City, the thousand-year-old temple Luohan Temple.
On the blue tiles and white walls, the vermilion red door is even more conspicuous in the sun.
On the morning of April 18, the gate of Luohan Temple was closed for one day, coordinating with the filming of the movie “One Hundred and Eight”.
The movie tells the story of Luohan Temple accepting pregnant women and giving birth to 108 “Rahanwomen” during the Wenchuan earthquake.
Everything, happens here, will come back here.

One night I burned Komiks to ruin all my memories, and my dreams have become transparent since then.
Ten Years of Gratitude
She and her mother come to the temple every year
Luo Mingzhenxi and her mother return to Luohan Temple every year.
Knock on the side door of Luohan Temple, 10BabaylanYear-year-old Luo Mingzhenxi and his mother Feng Lihua walked into the temple.
On a cherry tree, monks are picking ripe fruits, bright red and seductive. Under the tree, a group of old men and children took the branches covered with cherries from the monks and greeted him Mingzhen River.
CinemaShe was shy and picked off a few Babaylan, said “thank you”, threw the cherries into her mouth, squinted her eyes and shrugged her shoulders, a little sore.
”Zhenxi, do you know, this is where you were born. “Feng Lihua led her under the eaves of the corridor.
”I know! Mother. “Luo Mingzhenxi stroked the stone pillars on the eaves of the corridor and looked deeper into the corridor.
Luo Mingzhenxi and her mother.
Luo Mingzhenxi is one of the 108 “Rahanwomen”. Every year, she returns to this temple under the guidance of her parents; every year, the mother and daughter repeat this conversation.
”Mom, am I born in this kind of tent? “Luo Mingzhenxi got into a tent for filming and poked her head out to look at her mother.
”At that moment, I really felt like I was back ten years ago, back to the day when she was born. “Tears flashed in the corners of Feng Lihua’s eyes.
Luo Mingzhenxi poked her head out of the tent. She was born in such a tent on May 17, 10 years ago.
Ten years have passed, and the dolls are growing up.
108 children go to different schools, and they have various ideals and wishes. Feng Lihua just wants her daughter to learn to be grateful and have a peaceful life, just like the name “Luo Mingzhenxi”.
The master is refreshing
More than 20 pregnant women live in temples
Recalling the days of the Wenchuan earthquake, Feng Lihua sighed very much. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks many.
Feng Lihua said that at that time, her due date was originally May 6,a href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan But after several days, there was no sign of having a child. On the evening of May 16, she and her husband drove to the big square in the center of Shifang for a few times to see if they could meet relatives who ran out of their hometown.
”At 11 o’clock in the evening, we returned to Nanquan Town. As soon as we got home, the amniotic fluid broke.” Her husband quickly drove Feng Lihua to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. He came out of the car and found that the hospital was empty. “Not only the hospital, the entire street was empty, and the road was in a mess, and it looked so desolate.” Feng Lihua recalled.
Seeing this situation, the couple was confused: What should I do? Where can I find a doctor?
Just when they felt helpless, an old lady passing by asked Feng Lihua, “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” When she realized that she was going to have a baby but couldn’t find the hospital, the old lady said, “I know where the hospital is, I’ll take you there.” Afterwards, the old lady took her directly to the Arhat Temple.
At that time, Komiks, the temporary delivery room of Shifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital was built in the Luohan Temple. At 1 a.m., the doctor took Feng Lihua into the temple. After diagnosis, he decided to arrange the operation immediately.
In the early morning of May 17, Luo Mingzhen was born.
In fact, less than 6 hours after the earthquake, Shifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital moved into Luohan Temple. Luo Mingzhenxi is the ninth child born in Luohan Temple.
Gui Fengchun, director of Shifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that when the earthquake occurred, there were more than 20 pregnant women and newborns in the hospital. After the earthquake, the hospital’s houses and facilities were seriously damaged, and the hospitalized building became a dangerous building. The nearest transfer location around the hospital is Luohan Temple.
When pregnant women enter the temple, can the abbot agree?
At 5 pm on May 12, the relevant person in charge of the hospital asked Komiks to the then abbot of Luohan Temple, Master Su Quan, to explain the situation of the hospital and ask for help. “Master Suquan did not hesitate and agreed readily. “At 8 o’clock that night, all pregnant women and newborns were transferred to the tent in the Luohan Temple.
Yesterday·Today
One morning I threw away all yesterdays, and since then my steps have become lighter.
For life
The Zen bench and tea table were put into operation table
”On the night of May 12, there was a thunderstorm, and the tent could not shelter from the wind and rain. “Gui Fengchun said that the monks and medical staff in the temple held hands and pulled people to shelter pregnant women from the wind and rain. “Everyone Cinema did not sleep. After the first night after the earthquake, when it was almost dawn, the baby was born. ”
The first surgery for the delivery bed of Luohan Temple
”Pregnant women have no bed for giving birth, but they use the Zen stools and tea tables on the temple. The three Zen stools are put together to make a delivery bed. “Master Zhaoheng said that pregnant women need infusion after giving birth. Without an infusion stand, they use long brooms and branches to sweep the floor instead.
The power was out of stock after the earthquake and there was no enough light surgery. The monks found a flashlight and used to turn on the flashlight. The doctors successfully completed the caesarean section. The temple also arranged two cleaners to clean the production area specifically.
The first Luohanwa
Outside the templeKomiks‘s tea room, Master Zhaoheng took the reporter to find several tea tables, all of which were square tables, 80 cm square. “I used this labor bed at the beginning, but later when it was not enough, I moved the Zen stool. ”
Before the disaster relief substances entered the temple, the food of pregnant women and medical staff was provided by the temple. Master Zhaoheng was in charge of the warehouse at that time and was responsible for the material provision. “First guarantee the pregnant women, then the doctors and nurses, and finally we and other people affected. “
”My husband is also with me. He has a lot of appetite and doesn’t eat much every time, but we pregnant women have guaranteed it. “Feng Lihua said that there will be a few days when food is tightZhang, the doctor told everyone not to waste it, “Otherwise the masters in the temple have no more to eat.”
The past is vivid in my mind, and Feng Lihua is filled with emotion. What made her feel even more warm was that at that time, the abbot of the temple allowed his family to stew chicken and pig’s trotters in the temple to supplement the mother’s nutrition. In the fishy temple where meat is strictly prohibited, some elderly lay Buddhists are very disgusted, but Master Su Quan withstood the pressure. He often tells people: “In extraordinary times, first take care of living people, then mud statues.”
It is with the help of medical staff, temple monks and volunteers that so many babies were born in the tent, and there was no case of pregnant women and babies infected.
The birth of the first Arhatwai in Luohan Temple
Luo Mingzhenxi was born, and 5 days had passed since the earthquake and all facilities were basically complete.
Sustaining to suck in the candlelight
A text message
Released the grief for several days
In the mobile phone of Gui Fengchun, director of Shifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, there was a text message that had not been deleted, and there was also an indelible memory in my mind.
Gui Fengchun still remembers that one night shortly after the earthquake, as a pediatrician, she went to the victims’ treatment point in Shifang Plaza to help until dawn.
”I was very tired at dawn. I saw so many casualties in the square and felt very heavy.” Gui Fengchun said that when she walked back to the temporary delivery room of Luohan Temple, the midwife happened to walk out with a healthy newborn baby, and the baby’s body was covered with blood and fetal stains.
GuiKomiksFengchun took the baby over and hugged it in her arms. Regardless of the blood on her body, she kissed the baby from head to toe, and then burst into tears. After crying, it seemed as if I had released all the grief that had been around for several days. She sent a text message to a friend, “The big earthquake has caused us to lose our loved ones and compatriots, but in the tent, there is a new baby, which is our new hope.”
Before the earthquake, Feng Lihua and her husband ran a clothing factory together. The factory building was razed to the ground during the earthquake and tens of thousands of clothing and equipment were damaged. A few years after the earthquake, she opened another labor service company and her life continued.
Gratitude·Remember
The meaning of life is not about what you leave behind. As long as you have experienced it, it is the greatest beauty.
