Hua, did you see the news? Mr. Jiang from Shandong found out after 22 years of marriage that both children aren’t his. There’s a huge debate online.

I saw it too, and I feel really heavy-hearted. Isn’t trust the most important thing in marriage? This kind of blow is too cruel.

Yeah. He publicly urged his elder son to take a paternity test, but the boy refused, saying, ‘If he doesn’t acknowledge me, I won’t acknowledge him.’ This actually reflects the conflict between blood ties and affection.

In traditional Chinese thinking, blood ties are the bond of family. But I think the feelings built over 22 years of living together are hard to erase.

The problem is the wife’s infidelity, which betrayed the family. That not only destroyed the husband’s trust but can also harm the children’s growth.

Right. Parents are a child’s first teachers. Without an honest environment, children are easily influenced in negative ways.

That’s why this incident sparked so much discussion. Some say family affection isn’t solely based on blood—it also depends on genuine companionship and responsibility.

This reminds me of a saying: ‘The grace of raising outweighs the bond of blood.’ But if loyalty and responsibility are lost, even deep feelings can collapse.
