“In extraordinary times, we should first take care of living people, and then talk about mud statues.”
One hundred and eight children
Born in the loud bell of the Luohan Temple
The air we breathed for the first time
The deep friendship trembling on the apex of the hearts…
The thousand-year-old temple Luohan Temple is in the north of Shifang City.
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.
Past·Future
One night I burned all my memories, and my dreams have become transparent from then on.
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.
Knocking on the side door of Luohan Temple, 10-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 monk and greeted Luo Mingzhenxi.
She shyly picked a few, said “thank you”, threw the cherries into her mouth, squinted her eyes and shrugged her shoulders, a little sour.
”Zhenxi, do you know that this is where you were born.” Feng Lihua led her under the eaves of the corridor.
”I know! Mom.” 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, one of the 108 “Rahanwomen”. Every year, she will return to this temple where she was born under the guidance of her parents; every year, the mother and daughter will 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 to KomiksTen years ago, back to the day 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 10 years ago on May 17.
Ten years have passed, and the dolls are growing up.
The 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 moved into temples
Recalling the days of the Wenchuan earthquake, Feng Lihua expressed a lot of emotions.
Feng Lihua said that, her due date was originally May 6, but after several days, there was no sign of giving birth. On the evening of May 16, she and her husband drove to the big square in the center of Shifang for a few rounds to see if they could meet relatives who ran out of their hometown.
”At 11 o’clock in the evening, we returned to Nanquan<a In the town, the amniotic fluid broke as soon as I got home. "The 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, which looked so desolate. "Feng Lihua recalled.
Seeing this situation, the couple was confused: What should I do? Where to 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 I realized that I was going to have a baby but couldn’t find the hospital, the old lady said, “I know where the hospital is, I will take care of it.”You go. Then, the old lady took her straight to Luohan Temple.
At that time, 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 Mingzhenxi 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.
Komiks 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 houses and facilities of the Cinema Hospital were seriously damaged, and the hospitalization 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 found Master Su Quan, the abbot of Luohan Temple, to explain the situation of the hospital and request help. “Master Su Quan 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 yesterday, and since then my steps have become lighter.
For life
The Zen stool tea table is a working 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 nurses in the temple held hands and pulled people to shelter from the wind and rain for pregnant women. “Everyone was not sleeping. After the first night after the earthquake, when it was almost dawn, the first baby was born.”
The first surgery for a delivery bed in Luohan Temple
”The pregnant woman has no bed for giving birth, but uses the Zen stool and tea table in the temple. The three Zen stools are put together to make a delivery bed. “ZhaohengBabaylan‘s father said that pregnant women need infusion after giving birth, but there is no infusion stand, so they use long brooms and branches to sweep the floor instead.
The power was out of power after the earthquake and there was no enough light surgery. The monks found a flashlight and used to fire the flashlight. The doctors successfully completed the caesarean section. The temple also arranged two cleaners to clean the production area.
The first Luohanwa
In the tea room outside the temple, 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 with me too. He has a big appetite and doesn’t eat much every time, but we have guaranteed it. “Feng Lihua said that for a few days, the food was tight, and the doctors told everyone not to waste it, “Otherwise, the masters in the temple have no more to eat. ”
The past is vivid and Feng Lihua is full of touch. What makes her feel even more warm is that at that time, the abbot of the temple allowed his family to stew chicken and pig’s trotters in the temple to supplement nutrition for the mother. In this temple where meat is strictly prohibited, some elderly lay Buddhists were very disgusted, but Master Suquan, the abbot, withstood the pressure. He often told people: “In extraordinary times, first take care of CinemaPeople, let’s talk about 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 pregnancy and child infection.

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 a lingering memory in his mind.
Gui Fengchun still remembered that one night shortly after the earthquake, as a pediatrician, she went to the treatment point of the victims in Shifang Plaza for help until dawn.
”I was very tired at dawn, and I saw so many casualties in the square, and I was in a heavy mood. “Gui Fengchun said that when she walked back to the delivery room of Komiks’s temple, Komiks, the midwife happened to walk out with a healthy newborn baby in her arms, and her body was covered with blood and fetal stains. Gui Fengchun picked up the baby href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks came over and hugged the baby, regardless of the blood on his body, and then burst into tears. After crying, it seemed as if he had released all the grief for several days. She sent a text message to a friend, “The 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. ”
GroundBefore 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.

Tang Zhenwen sat in her seat and read the text with the teacher. “The rich fragrance of flowers attracts quiet. This little girl lingers in the fragrance of flowers all day…”
She is the first of 108 Luohanwa born. She has a round and pouty face, and she smiles hard and purses her lips. She is playful and cute.
There are three “Rohanwas” who are studying at Nanquan Primary School with Tang Zhenwen. “The three of them are boys and they often bully me.” Tang Zhenwen was very unfair about this.
As the “boss” born in Luohan Temple, there is always a way to make these three boys “obedient”. “The teacher will help me teach them a lesson.”
