The village of Baktawng, in India’s north-eastern state of Mizoram, is home to the world’s largest known family, 199 people who live under the same roof in a giant building.
位于印度东北部米佐拉姆邦的巴克旺村住着世界上已知的最大的家庭，199口人住在一栋巨大的建筑里，住在同一屋檐下。
Pu Ziona was the male head of what was generally regarded as the world’s largest family — 38 wives, 89 children, and 36 grandchildren. Ziona passed away in 2021, at the age of 76, due to health problems, but his family continues to live under the same roof. Some of his children got wives of their own, some more than one, and the family member count now stands at 199. They all gather in the great hall of their home twice a day to eat, in a scene that looks more like a busy canteen than a family dining room. The members share everything, from the daily workload to the food and finances.
普济那是一个被普遍认为是世界上最大的家庭——38个妻子，89个孩子和36个孙子女——的男性户主。济那于2021年因健康问题去世，享年76岁，但他的家人继续住在同一屋檐下。他的一些孩子有了自己的妻子，有些还不止一个，家庭成员现在达到199人。他们每天两次聚集在家里的大厅里吃饭，这里看起来更像一个繁忙的食堂，而不是一个家庭餐厅。成员们分享一切，从日常工作量到食物和财务。
Keeping a family of 199 members together while also feeding them and putting clothes on their backs is no easy task. Luckily, everyone takes part in it, whether by working in one of the five family piggeries raising about 100 pigs for meat consumption, in the fields, planting various crops, or laboring in one of the family’s four carpentry (木工活) workshops and one aluminum workshop. The two daily meals alone are an arduous task, as they need at least 80 kg of rice plus many other ingredients, which are prepared in giant pots that then have to be cleaned. But these too are shared tasks, so no one complains.
让一个有199个成员的家庭在一起，同时还要供他们吃饭穿衣，这不是一件容易的事。幸运的是，每个人都参与其中，无论是在五个家庭养猪场中的一个养猪，饲养大约100头猪供肉类消费，在田地里，种植各种作物，还是在家里的四个木工车间和一个铝车间中的一个工作。每天的两顿饭是一项艰巨的任务，因为他们需要至少80公斤的大米和许多其他食材，这些食材是在几口大锅里准备的，然后这些大锅还必须清洗。但这些也是共享的任务，所以没有人抱怨。
“As humans, we all face difficulties and hardships, but our family has a more positive side as we are a huge family supportive of one another,” one of Pu Ziona’s daughters-in-law said. “When we fall sick, we support one another.”
“作为人类，我们都面临困难和艰辛，但我们的家庭有更积极的一面，因为我们是一个相互支持的大家庭，”朴梓娜的一个儿媳说。“当我们生病时，我们互相支持。”
