Two years ago , Wu Mu Xiang was inconsolable following the death of her 26-year-old son . But after the heartbreak of losing her only child , the 57-year-old became a mother again after giving to twin babies , the People 's Daily reported . In a rare move for China - which enforces a one-child policy - a hospital agreed to give Mrs Wu and her 60-year-old husband IVF treatment . Wu Mu Xiang , 57 , and her 60-year-old husband cradle their twins after she gave birth following IVF treatment . Twins En En and Dian Dian were born two months early and were placed on the neonatal intensive care unit . Mrs Wu and her husband used up all their savings on the IVF treatment and even borrowed money from friends but never revealed what their plans were . Mrs Wu said the births of En En and Dian Dian had given her the strength to live on after the tragedy of losing her only son , Wu Jianyu on February 27 , 2013 . He passed away just eight months before his wedding day after being diagnosed with acute cerebral thrombosis . Following his death , Mrs Wu lost the will to live , hardly ever speaking and often crying in bed . She even suggested her husband try to have a child with another woman . After he rejected the idea , they thought of IVF and the Fujian Province hospital agreed to give them the treatment .

Mrs Wu and her husband used up all their savings on the IVF treatment and even borrowed money from friends but never revealed what their plans were . On January 21 this year , Mrs Wu was taken to Shaowu hospital but after two days was transferred to the Fujian Province hospital . Three days later , she gave birth to the twins at the age of 57 following a caesarean section . Son En En was born three minutes before his sister Dian Dian . Because the twins were born two months early , they were placed in the neonatal intensive care unit . Despite the pain from her operation , Mrs Wu would still brave the five floors of the hospital to see her children . She now awaits their safe transfer from hospital where they will be raised by her and her 60-year-old husband .
