English Original
When a birth mother treats her son's head swelling, blood may stream from the top of his head down to his neck, creating a harsh-looking scene. Yet, onlookers perceive this as an act of solicitude—a mother's desperate attempt to cure her child quickly, driven by deep love.
If a stepmother performed the same act, people would likely condemn her as cruel and heartless. They might even assume that all stepmothers secretly wish for the demise of their husband's children from a previous marriage.

当生母为儿子治疗头部肿疮时，鲜血可能从孩子的头顶流到脖颈，景象颇为触目。然而，旁观者却认为这是一种关怀之举——是母亲出于深爱，急于让孩子尽快康复的迫切行动。
倘若做此事的是后母，人们则会指责她残忍无情、狠得下心。他们甚至可能联想到，天下后母都盼着丈夫前妻的孩子早日死去。
