A child born from the womb, yet still residing within the mother’s heart.
A fertilized egg can implant itself anywhere in the maternal body, and the uterus is the mother’s only mechanism of self-protection during pregnancy and childbirth.
This foreign body wanders freely within the mother, traveling into the abdominal cavity, into the chest, circling the ribs, and entering the heart.
In the sacred process of childbirth, the fertilized egg is, in fact, a parasite.
Of course, the mother loves this small creature that absorbs her blood and nutrients, regarding her as an angel sent from above.
After giving birth, the mother continues to sustain her, with money, with time, and with love.
Yet she, and perhaps they as well, seem to have forgotten the organs compressed and deformed, and the bones forced apart.
子宫里生出的孩子, 却还留存在母亲的心脏。
受精卵可以在母体的任何地方着床，而子宫是在妊娠生产过程中母亲唯一的自我保护机制。
这个外来物在母体里随意游荡，走到腹腔，走到胸腔，绕过肋骨，进入心脏。在生产这一神圣的过程中，受精卵却是一个寄生虫。
当然，母亲深深地爱着这只吸收自己血液与营养的小虫，将她视为上天派来的天使。在生下她之后，母亲继续供养着她，用金钱和时间，还有爱。
但是她们还有他们好像都忘记了，那被挤压变形的内脏与张开的骨头。
