Stepmother is a Chinese word that refers to the wife after the remarriage of the biological father, and also refers to the adoptive mother of the stepdaughter. This phrase comes from the "Ritual and Funeral Dress": "The stepmother is like a mother." Jia Gongyanshu: "After your mother dies early or is excreted, you will continue to follow your mother." ”

As I read today, I saw an article: for Deng Xiaoping, Shebergen was neither a birth mother nor an adoptive mother, but a stepmother. Deng Xiaoping had special respect and affection for her. After having a family, Deng Xiaoping took on the obligation to support his stepmother. She brought her stepmother to Beijing with her and lived with Deng Xiaoping's family, and over the years, Deng Xiaoping and his wife treated her like a mother, never distinguishing between you and me, and taking good care of the elderly and comforting the elderly in terms of diet, hygiene, clothing and other aspects. It is worth mentioning that in the days when Deng Xiaoping was overthrown and "exiled" to live in a "cowshed" in Jiangxi, Deng Xiaoping, in order not to let his elderly stepmother take on excessively heavy housework, took up the burden of housework alone, and Deng Xiaoping personally did the heavy and dirty work. The fact that the elderly Xia Bogen was able to live a long life was inseparable from the love, respect, care, and care of Deng Xiaoping and his wife for her.
