During the Republic of China period, although many people have begun to advocate the "monogamous" mode of life, many families still have the concept of concubinage and continuation. In many families, the daughters of the same family will also be married to the same person, at that time there was a pair of sisters, the sister died of childbirth, and then the husband remarried the twin sister of the deceased wife, the sister did not want to have children after marriage, continued to raise the stepson, and finally raised the stepson into a generation of celebrities.
In the Hubei region during the Republic of China period, there was a man named Wan Dezun, his family has been literati for generations, he has been full of economy since he was a child, and he was only 15 years old when he passed the Xiucai examination. Later, the family arranged a marriage for him, but he did not like the wife arranged by his parents, so he ran to Japan to study. After 5 years, he returned from school, at this time, he wanted to find a good match for himself, which heard about the Xue family.
There is a local family surnamed Xue, the Xue family has a pair of twin daughters, not only very handsome, but also know the book Dali, to the age of the marriage there are many people to ask for relatives. In the end, Wan Dezun married the sister of the family, and the life after marriage was very sweet. The two lived in a Western-style mansion in Tianjin, where they were cared for by housekeepers and subordinates in their daily lives, and lived very richly, and soon after, their wives became pregnant.
In August 1910, his wife was about to give birth, but the process was very difficult, and she was unable to give birth. Later, his wife gave birth to a boy with the last effort, named Wan Jiabao. Giving birth to a child is a "ghost gate" for many women, and his wife eventually failed to cross this threshold and died 3 days after giving birth to the child.
The sudden death of his wife made him very painful, and then the Xue family also learned the news of the death of the eldest daughter, and the Xue family's sister immediately rushed to Tianjin. When her sister saw that her sister had died and the newborn child was still asleep, she was so sad that she could not help herself, and then she decided to take care of the child instead of her sister, so she lived in Wanjia.

But although Wan Jiabao is young, he already understands things, and when he grows up, he is still very grateful to his stepmother. Moreover, this child had a very high talent in literature, and later wrote the masterpiece "Thunderstorm" under the pseudonym "Cao Yu" and became a generation of celebrities.
