But what should have been a joyous occasion for the older couple has turned into a waiting game, as the government weighs up whether they will be punished under the country’s draconian child laws.

What is now China’s two-child policy was initially instituted as a one-child-per-couple rule, but Beijing raised the limit in 2016 to two children. As per the policy, Chinese couples who violate the policy can face debilitating fines, calculated according to their home city’s average income and the number of children they have.

Tian’s husband, Huang Weiping, a 68-year-old lawyer, said the couple didn’t think they’d be punished for violating the law as it only applied to women under the age of 49.

“I will put forward an administrative review or initiate a lawsuit if I am fined,” he told the Beijing News.

The couple also have two adult children, in their forties, as well as several grandchildren, the oldest of which is 18 and in college. The couple’s children are reported to disapprove of the couple’s wishes to raise a third child.

“My daughter even said that I gave birth to this little baby, she would sever all ties with us,” said Tian, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
