His father took another wife so that the boy would have maternal care. His stepmother, however, was a bad-tempered, evil-natured woman, who took a dislike to her stepson, and often berated him in front of his father.

在晋朝，王祥，琅琊人，生母早丧，父亲娶了继母，因此，王祥得照顾怀孕的继母。继母脾气暴躁，不喜欢他，经常背着父亲打他。

This went on incessantly, and eventually, she managed to turn Lucky Wang's father against the boy. Despite this hardship, Lucky Wang remained devoted in his filial regard for them both.

One winter it was unusually cold, and snow fell for many days. The snow piled up on all sides of the house, and the small creek nearby froze solid with ice.

渐渐的，继母朱氏多次在他父亲面前说他的坏话，使他失去父爱。尽管如此，王祥还是尽心的照顾她。
