WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop making a fuss; there is nothing wrong with taking the mother's last name.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Maternal Surnames (随母姓)

While children in China traditionally adopt the father's surname, modern social shifts and specific family dynamics (such as prominent maternal lineage) lead some to adopt the mother's surname, which still invites debate among traditionalists.
