A Chinese couple who gave birth to 9 children over 16 years of marriage is making headlines by revealing that they will have children according to the Chinese zodiac signs.
According to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 17th (local time), Tian Dongxia (33), who lives in Zhejiang Province, China, met her husband Zhao Wanrong (36) in 2008 and got married two years later.
The couple had their first child, a daughter, in the year of the tiger in 2010, and gave birth to nine children almost every year until the year before last. Currently, the youngest son is born in 2022 and is the same as the first born in the year of the Tiger.
