Zeng Xueming (Chinese: 曾雪明; pinyin: Zēng Xuěmíng; Jyutping: Zang1 Syut3ming4, 1905–1991), known in Vietnamese as Tăng Tuyết Minh, was a Chinese midwife who married Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh. She was a Catholic from Guangzhou and married Ho in October 1926. They lived together until April 1927, when Ho fled China following an anti-communist coup. Ho returned to Vietnam in 1940 to lead the pro-Communist Viet Minh, then rebels against the French colonial authorities. He became president of North Vietnam in 1954. Despite several attempts to renew contact by both Zeng and Ho, the couple was never reunited. Her existence has never been acknowledged by the Vietnamese government.
